No he did not. The only communication was via yahoo. He messages me from match.com but I don't have the information of his user name as until
I found this site I had no idea it was a scam.

Sgt Jeff(rey) M Robles sgttrp15@yahoo.com Tele: (924)665-01

Says he's stationed in Kabul on a Peace Mission, scheduled to retire after this mission (2 months), states he's an attack helicopter mechanic, grew up in Germany, both parents in the military (dad an attack helicopter pilot, mom and ER nurse), both parents are deceased, states he's stationed at Ft Hood Army base in TX and resides in Bedford, TX. Falls in love very quickly, writes loving emails, texts often, calls you "baby" and "honey", willing to relocate for you, will ask you to send an iPhone and PSP for his "birthday" (March 2nd), states he's turning 49. Don't trust him! I wish I would have checked this site before communicating with him.

No, that's the number. Using a SIMS card, it's a number provided by yahoo. I've researched it.

So, does the real guy in the picture know his pics are being used for scam? I feel bad for him. I'm worried my pics will end up out there for scam, too. :(

men in pics: http://www.romancescam.com/forum/viewto ... 61#p259661" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; :(

Your pictures are not likely to be used in scams (unless you are a professional model, seriously). Look in our White resp. Black Females section what pictures scammers typically use. And think of how many billion pictures are in existence allover the internet, Nigerians really do not need to rely only on former victims as a picture source (this is a greater danger for men who were scammed than for women). But you need to block and ignore the scammer and never reply him again, even if he calls you as "doctor" or as his "friend". Then they will leave you in peace. But if you reply and argue there is a certain likelihood they will start a blackmail scam, even tho this is very rare.

This guy also goes by James Swatt Kriss. He says he is in Special Forces with the Army. He tells me that he should come home in May. He told me that he is an E6, Staff Sgt, non commissioned officer. He also said that he needed me to "transfer funds to his diplomat" so he could get out early! Yeah, right! Anyway, don't get suckered in by this guy! He is a complete liar!
He says he is 50 years old, and he told me he lives in Bedford, TX. Born in Germany, raised in Miami, Fl.
Watch out!
Here is his email address: jameskriss277@yahoo.com

I was born on the 17th October, 1963 in Chicago,Illinois but move to Florida,ft lauderdale a couple years ago.I have been married once and i have 2kids who are still not grown ups.I'm divorced for 3years now....I'm the only son of my parent .My Mom was a head teacher and Dad was in the medical field in the army.
I always feel bad anytime I talk about my family but you still have to know lol.Well my Dad passed away when i was kid and when I turn 39,my Mom also passed away.So my kids are all that I have for now.
I found out that my ex betrayed my love by going in for another man when back from my first mission,. She cost me a lost. She misused my properties so I paid her off.I was in love with her with all my heart but she let me down. I was with her for 17 years.
I'm on my second mission in Kabul on a peace keeping mission and I have less than a month to come home.I am an E-6 Staff Sergeant (SSG). I also act as a platoon sergeant in the absence of the Sergeant First Class. I am the leader of my squad.
I'm a nonsmoker/drinker, not into drugs who enjoys movies, television, music, traveling, the desert, the quietness of the mountains, the ocean, sunrises and sunsets.I believe in enjoying the good life and am high on it. I have a healthy attitude about God and the Bible. I'm a very outgoing person, who loves to dine out travel and enjoy the simple life. I'm a hopeless romantic and very affectionate. I have a good sense of humor and I like to make you laugh. I like to chill out and watch movie and its even more fun when you have a special someone to do this with.
Well am not good at answering questions but you can still ask if you still wanna know more about me ok.
I have some pics for you....hope you will like them.Hoping to hear from you soon
