Someone befriended me thru facebook claiming to be James Phillip Wood. He said he was a captain in the Special Forces. He was looking for a serious relationship. He claimed he was stationed in Kabul, Afganastan and their mission wouldn't end until 2014. After a few weeks of emailing and chatting he was going to get a leave to come to the states. He stated he had to pay for his replacement, which would be coming from Turkey. The cost was $1630. He said he didn't have access to his bank account but would pay me back when he got to me. I made an excuse as to why I couldn't pay it.
About 2 weeks went by and he told me that for the relationship to progress we need to invest in a "secure line". It was a way we could talk so the Taliban couldn't trace his calls. He said if we could talk then I could talk with his commander and maybe get him another leave granted, that's because I screwed his first one up. The cost of it was $950. He was very persistent and wanted me to send the money because their connection to the internet would soon be lost. Thats when I decided to let him know I wasn't going to send a scammer money.

This is not the actual scammer in these photos. These are photos stolen by the scammer for the scammers purpose.

you didn't fall for the obvious scam that so many lonely women have.
