Being in love with someone from the military always brings about challenges of its own. It\u2019s not an easy task, what with all the deployments, the distance, and the stress. What shouldn\u2019t be part of those challenges, however, is your partner not existing at all or constantly asking you for money. If that\u2019s the case, you might be a victim of military scams.<\/p>\n
The internet is rife with dating and romance scams<\/a>, and military scams\u00a0are a scammer\u2019s most favorite.<\/a> Not only does it provide scammers with the perfect excuse for why they\u2019re unable to meet their victim, but it also gives them the opportunity to get their sympathy and admiration. This way, scammers don’t have to talk to their \u201cdate\u201d as often as one might in normal situations.<\/p>\n There are many telling signs that give away whether someone is an actual member of the military or a scammer looking to make you part with your money.<\/a> Be wary of anyone who doesn\u2019t want to talk to you on the phone, even if they say it\u2019s for \u201csecurity reasons.\u201d Some of the things the U.S. Military\u2019s website recommends keeping an eye out for are:<\/p>\n If you see any of these signs in your partner, they may be a scammer<\/a> instead of a member of the U.S. Military.

They spend the money on themselves<\/a> to support their own lavish lifestyle, and they either sell your personal information on the dark web or use it to commit identity theft. When you start talking to someone from the military, or even on a dating site in general, be very picky with who you share your personal information with, and never give them your financial information to avoid military scams.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve been scammed, file a report with the police at the first instance. Keep a record of all your correspondence and any information they\u2019ve provided about themselves. Report the scam to the Internet Crime Complaint Centre<\/a>, or file a complaint online<\/a>.<\/p>\n Any information about military scams, no matter how insignificant, can help the police track them down if they\u2019re in the same country. Chances are slim that they\u2019ll be caught if they\u2019re not, though.<\/p>\n Additionally, look for support with your friends and family. Being scammed is nothing to be ashamed of, and there are millions of people who fall victim to the same kind of scams worldwide.<\/p>\nHow To Know You\u2019re a Part of Military Scams<\/h2>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Old-brown-military-boots-912349-scaled.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”100%” align=”center” lightbox=”off” captionsrc=”custom” captionposition=”center” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n
