February 27, 201114 yr Soldier impersonators target women in web scams Happened to a very close friend two years ago as he was finishing up command downrange. His name was in the papers which led to a scammer stealing and using his identity to solicit money from women around the country. More egregious than the stolen valor issues just don't know if it is receiving any extra attention from law enforcement/legislators.

February 27, 201114 yr Maybe the misspelling is a clue but I spent 4 years as an LT and there's a reason I always abreviated my rank.
February 27, 201114 yr This actually happened to me. But the guy used a picture where one of the victims zoomed in on the nametag and saw my real name...and contacted me. There were about 3 profiles with my pictures (many pictures) and the dude was using the profile to pick up lonely girls. Its sad, one was devestated and I think actually sent money, but I dont know for sure about that part.
