Hello My Dear xxx. OP real name deleted. FF.

Thank you very much for the kind conversation and the privileged given to my attention, I was so much overwhelmed after chatting with you. Please I am very sorry if i came to you on the wrong time.I admired your chat a lot, So I decided to know you more believing that you're the kind of woman i am searching for, sorry to sound this way.

Let me introduce myself properly to you, My name is ( William B. Caldwell) I was (born on June 5 1954) I am a retired Lieutenant General of the United States Army since 2006 and then post back to AFGHANISTAN on April 26 2009 up to date for my final retirement, I am a native of Pittsburg, New Hampshire United State, I am a graduate of Union Pittsburg High School Class of 1972.

I studied in military education includes the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point, New York (Class of 1976); Infantry Officer Basic and Advanced courses, Command and General Staff College, and the U.S. Army War College, In my civilian studies I earned a Master of Arts degree in National Security and Strategic Studies at Georgetown University. If You Want To Know About My Service career Here are some info about me. I was commissioned a Second lieutenant of Infantry upon graduation from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, Class of June 1976. I started my career with the 25th Infantry Division, where I served as a rifle, weapons and scout platoon leader, I commanded the companies in the 25th Infantry Division and the 1st Ranger Battalion, leading a Ranger Rifle Company during the invasion of Grenada in 1983, In 1988 I returned to the 2nd Ranger Battalion as S-3 (Operations) where I parachuted into Panama during Operation Just Cause, I subsequently served as the aide De camp to the Commanding General of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command.

I also commanded a Parachute Infantry Battalion in the 82nd Airborne division followed by command of the 2nd Ranger Battalion at Ft Lewis, Washington. Following attendance at the Army war College, I also commanded a multi-functional support brigade at Ft Polk, LA, and then directed the Joint Task Force training program at Joint Forces Command, Norfolk, VA. With three Ranger Battalion tours and battalion command in the 82nd Airborne, I also accumulated over 110 parachute jumps during my career, to include a 500 foot night-time Parachute assault into Panama in 1989 during which 11 of 15 jump aircraft were struck by enemy fire.

I hold two awards of the coveted Combat Infantryman's Badge as well as the Ranger Tab and Master Parachutist Badge with Combat Star,

Following selection to Brigadier General, I served as the Assistant Division Commander (Operations) for the 25th Infantry Division as well as Deputy Director of Operations, US Pacific Command. I was promoted to Major General in 2001 and served as the Commanding General, Ft Jackson, SC, the Army's largest training base. During my time at Ft Jackson, I led Chief of Staff Army Task Forces on the Future Force Soldier and Warrior Ethos. I was also the principal author of the Army's 2003 culture-changing Warrior Ethos which dictates: "Mission First, Never Accept Defeat, Never Quit, and Never Leave Behind a Fallen Comrade." In January 2003, I was also deployed to Hungary as the Commanding General of Task Force Warrior tasked to train Free Iraqi Forces in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

I was promoted to 3-star General in 2003 at the age of 49, becoming the first member of the West Point class of 1976 to achieve that distinction. In October 2003, I was deployed to Afghanistan where I was designated to establish a three-star headquarters in Kabul and ultimately command over 20,000 Coalition Forces for 19 months as the first Commander, Military Operations Afghanistan (later redesign Combined Forces Command-Afghanistan, United States Central Command, OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM, Afghanistan). During his tenure, he forged a close relationship with U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilizad, co-locating his command at the US Embassy compound and creating an integrated civil-military Counter-insurgency campaign plan for Afghanistan, I focused on the Afghanistan population, I am the first of its kind established in advance of the publication of an official post-Vietnam COIN doctrine by the US military in 2006, After command in Afghanistan,

I was reassigned to The Pentagon in Washington, DC where I served briefly on the Army Staff as the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management (ACSIM) for the US Army until I decision to retire in the spring of 2006 and then back to AFGHANISTAN in 2009 since my service i have not admired or wish to marry due to the nature of job in Afghanistan, Presently I am in a peaces keeping mission with some of my fellow Generals in Kabul Afghanistan. And I am planning for my retirement after this assignment here in Kabul. I was introduce to this site by a friend of mine who have met his soul mate here. So I am here to find my life partner since I have no one to be with after my mission is over here. But I thank God I found you,

I hope that we can share ideas and see what the future will bring to both of us. I know that we are very far away from each other now but very soon we can sit together and do many things together. No one is perfect but I know I will never disappoint you.

I am always serious in whatever I am doing, I love to have fun, I think I am loyal and thirsted for a lady or woman who can understand the feelings of heart, a lady who knows what it takes to love, Lady whom I can share my time with, like visiting the works of nature, dinner or travel to the sea-shore or historical sites. And I wish that you are the one.

I enjoy my work as a soldier and I have achieved a lot. There is usually a smile on my face as I have been very blessed. I had my share of setbacks in life, but in spite of everything I have never stopped being grateful to almighty God. I do not seek perfection, but I do need to be with someone who knows the meaning of real love, a lady who will know that love is consist of care, patient and understanding so that it will grow stronger. Love is like a flower planted which needs to be watered so that it will grow.

Thanks for your picture you send to me my angel. Find attach of my picture with my ex wife i told you she died of cancer and a daughter died in a car accident on her way coming back from school... I give thank to God that i have a boy, Can you tell me your hobbies, Because I like to have fun, work, travel, play, and smile. But I hate lies and cunning people.

Warm regards

Gen William B. Caldwell.

Golden star deleted. FF.
This creep contacted me through silver surfers calling himself col. Jason Caldwell 8th January; I have the same photo. profile stated Yorkshire then when he emailed said he was colonel in logistics in afghan and due to retire in a few weeks, his wife died in 2004 and he had an older daughter and adopted son now 10yrs who government looked after; saying he was lonely and rode his harley when home on miami beach fl where he had a home and his dog booboo had died back in time but he did not have one now due to his work, he had been in army 32 yrs and was not 61 yrs of age and wanted to travel and had plans for his future out of army. He even said he was on secret missions and one of his men had been injured with lots of blood but stable, trying to make a connection quick but saying wanted to take it easy. What a joker, I wondered why he would not reply when asked about time difference, spelling was a bit off at times, did not answer many questions, disgusting he uses servicemen photos and probably cut and pastes different peoples emails to scam others, now concerned mine and other peoples photos are being used to scam men on sites which makes us look bad. I reported and sent all coding to yahoo, report to abuse@yahoo.com and to on the reply on the email to the right, click down and press source, print off all coding as his IPs being used are there and can be traced, I have also informed us military as innocent men are having their identity abused when fighting for these creeps freedom in our world. :twisted: that is what they are. He sent over a poem about how he felt. If they are genuine there is no security breach in them giving their ss number or their army email address and if they wont their is a reason. I reported him to the dating site but he probably logged on again in another name after being deactivated. What a shame for the lovely man whose image is being destroyed over the internet. great these sites are here to report and try to reduce the damage they do. Never ever give any money to anyone as there is no need, all military personnel are well looked after when leaving and would not need money. Loneliness makes people vulnerable and you want to believe and trust but beware over the net. He is not real or kind just wicked and does not care who he hurts along the way to his end whatever it is. Check out any emails and their Ip addresses in the source, ones from him came from California and Ghana so says it all. He is very active.

Welcome to RS, sylvannia13. Do you have any emails with header information/IP, phone numbers, etc to post, that might help another victim? Posts by others is the only way that his present victims can find him.
Will you post the details that you have here? The more the better.
Our FAQ shows you how to find and what we need. Thanks. :)

It is also never a good idea to report any free email addresses to abuse for closure, or any free dating profiles, either. Scammers can get new ones in 2 minutes, and disappear, then the other victims will have no warnings under the new email addresses or profiles. Closing accounts warns the scammer and hurts victims.

Jasonxoxoxoxo

My Deepest Desire

As the sun rises in the East
So the breaking dawn of my love begins
As the sun sets in the West
I am overwhelmed with a burning desire
A desire locked down deep inside
One that cannot be concealed anymore
I long for one sweet kiss to quench my thirst
I long for one tender touch that will last a lifetime
At the end of it all you are my deepest desire!
I love you not today nor tomorrow but forever!

These are some of the ip addresses, I am wondering why in the same page is about 3 different received from and different IP's, does it mean many other scammers are communicating to put the messages together. I have about 6 messages and the IPs are changing.

^^We group scammers by pictures they use; which means that they usually amount to collections of individual, different, independant, unrelated anonymous Nigerian scammers, who of course have a variety of locations. it´s just because pictures are our criterium for putting them into order here :)

This is what a header looks like, unfortunately, some Yahoo headers show the commonly known "Sunnyvale-CA-Yahoo HQ location problem", and so does this one. If you have another one or another few, that would be much appreciated :)

I have just removed this person off my Skype & email, he contacted me 2 days ago (via Skype) & my experience is virtually verbatim to what ' not so dumb' experienced.
On his profile from Skype he states his DOB was 1975, from Columubus Georgia, unfortunately I have already deleted his details & correspondence as I was unaware of this website.
I would like to thank the creators of this site & their postees for being brave enough to inform the world of their experiences & now I have been added to the list.
I do believe in Karma :P
I did challenge him on his age as he said while we were corresponding that he was 53, wife died in child birth & had 5 kids. He seemed surprised when I told him that he had written that he was 35 on his profile & became defensive.

We never want to ever "challenge them" on their mistakes, as this is educating scammers to get better. It is always best to leave them in the dark, do not confront them, and post their DETAILS here. This saves the most victims. Read our FAQ for more tips on how to deal with scammers. Doing the wrong thing, even though it seems "right" can hurt other victims. Read, learn, and teach others. Educating others saves future pain.
