I dont think so and mind you a soldier on mission outside his country cannot be chanced to go online and start looking up for a girl miles away, he will rather satisfy his urge there and wait to find love at home, based on my interview with a LT in syriaIn the summer of 2015, Bryan Denny received a peculiar message in his LinkedIn inbox.“I really need to speak with you, Bryan,” a woman wrote. “I thought you were coming to visit me after your deployment in Syria was completed?”He didn’t recognize the woman’s name or picture, had never been to Syria, and had no plans to travel to Canada, where she lived. Recently retired after serving more than two and a half decades in the Army, including deploying as part of Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom, Denny had expected to encounter some uncomfortable situations in his transition to civilian life. This wasn’t one of them.At first, Denny just assumed she’d contacted the wrong guy — a simple case of mistaken identity. But as they exchanged messages, he came to a more troubling realization: for several months, the woman had been in a full-fledged online relationship with a Col. Bryan Denny who, it just so happened, looked just like him.Army/Spc. Ryan ElliottLt. Col. Bryan Denny, then commander of the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment, in a meeting with key leaders in Iraq's Diyala Province on June 15, 2008.Whoever she’d been speaking with had gotten hold of his pictures, created a fake profile on a Canadian dating site, and constructed an elaborate, tragedy-filled backstory. The Bryan she knew wasn’t married or retired — he was a dashing American soldier whose wife had passed away and whose son had recently suffered a string of severe medical ailments. Over the course of their fleeting online love affair, she’d helped him out with hospital costs, home repairs, and plane tickets home — at a cost of several thousand dollars. Now, she was wondering where the hell he (and her money) had gone.Denny decided to look himself up on Facebook, since that’s where the woman said she’d verified his identity. Nearly 100 accounts with his name and face popped up, each of them displaying his neatly-coiffed gray hair and steady smile. Many included shots of him with his son, while others used images of Denny with his comrades overseas. The majority showed him in uniform during his final months of service.A lump formed in his throat as he took in one doppelganger after another. “It’s hard to capture how confusing and disturbing it is to scroll through an endless stream of profiles bearing your face and name,” he reflected in an interview with Task & Purpose. “The first time you see it, you’re just blown away.”It turned out Denny’s name, his image, and, most important, aspects of his military service had been posted to myriad dating sites and social media platforms, all in an effort to swindle wide-eyed romance-seekers around the world out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Maybe millionsBryan Denny's military photos are ubiquitous on scam social accounts. Fighting back has proven hard, even for the combat veteran.Although many of the fake accounts used his real name, others took on aliases to better cover their tracks, making it all but impossible to hunt them down. Every passing day brought new calls and messages from desperate women who’d been stripped of their pride as well as their life savings by “Bryan Denny.” Some women became so infatuated with him that they simply couldn’t cope with the fact that their love had been a sham — hounding him for attention until he eventually had to ignore them entirely. With his reputation and, increasingly, his sanity on the line, Denny knew he had to take action. But he was a man used to battling insurgents in firefights, not nameless, distant hackers.Anatomy of a romance scamIn the fall of 2012, Notre Dame’s All-American linebacker, Manti Te’o, made waves across the country for his unbreaking resolve in the face of adversity. A gifted athlete and the captain of the top defense in college football, Te’o heroically carried his team to an undefeated regular season and the BCS National Championship game after losing his girlfriend, whom he’d dated online for nearly a year, to leukemia. But nine days after Notre Dame’s loss in the title game in early 2013, news broke that Te’o’s girlfriend wasn’t dead. In fact, she wasn’t real; she was a fictional online persona created by a man named Ronaiah Tuiasosopo.He didn’t know the full truth of the twisted ruse until as late as December, but either way, it gained him national prestige and made him the posterboy of college football for one magical season.Most romance-scam victims aren’t so lucky, these unfortunates — often divorced, widowed, or disabled women over 40 — are being extorted by distant scammers for money and gifts to the tune of some $250 million a year.

Get out on google to find him or simply check from this videoFrom an Air Force Public Affairs PSA: "A catfish is a person who pretends to be someone they're not, using social media to create a false identity with the intent of scamming someone, or worse."The perpetrators often operate within intricate networks; many originate in Nigeria or Ghana, where outreach tactics, compelling backstories, and conversation strategies have been turned into a science. By sticking to a formula and passionately professing their desire for a new life with their targeted victims, the scammers disarm and beguile their prey with razor-sharp precision. Just as important, these illicit organizations have stockpiled pictures and personas to bolster the credibility of their fake accounts and reel in victims with ease.One of these scammers’ most successful ploys involves assuming the identities of lovesick American soldiers stationed abroad. It’s easy to see why servicemen have become a particularly difficult disguise for romance scams: sterling reputations, trustworthy characters, and a built-in excuse for being away.And yet, military romance scams are vastly underreported. Many victims are typically too embarrassed to admit they sent thousands of dollars — sometimes tens of thousands — to people they’ve never met. Opportunistic thieves, located oceans away, saw his service, patriotism and chiseled looks… and saw a perfect piece of man candy to dangle in front of eager female suitors. Denny suddenly saw how the deference, perks, and unadulterated praise soldiers receive in America could be exploited in terrible ways when love is on the table.A brief history of military imposter scamsIn 1906, a German named Wilhelm Voigt, fresh out of prison after serving a lengthy sentence for theft and forgery, stepped into a military surplus store to initiate his greatest scheme yet. Emerging from the shop sporting a captain’s uniform, he quickly convinced a group of soldiers to follow him to the nearby town of Köpenick, where under his command, they stormed the mayor’s office and helped him loot 4,000 marks. It was only after the soldiers delivered the bewildered mayor, whom they’d been ordered to arrest, to the Berlin police that everyone realized Voigt and the money had gone missing. Though he was eventually apprehended, he became a folk hero, praised for highlighting the blind obedience of his countrymen to authority.Military imposters have been prolific on our side of the pond, too. As the 100th anniversary of the Civil War approached in the late 1950s, Americans were captivated by a man named Walter Williams, who claimed to be 116 years old and the last living veteran of the conflict. researchers later concluded he’d actually been a child when the war’s first shots were fired at Fort Sumter. Williams was hardly alone in this act: lying about Civil War service was then a favored tactic of fraudsters looking for prestige and pensions.Compared to these examples, military romance scams have a distinctly disturbing — and, in many cases, sensual — flavor. Unlike your more run of the mill instances of stolen valor, these schemes involve assuming the identities of specific soldiers to make victims swoon. Instead of constructing entire backstories, scammers typically tailor their characters around their servicemen’s traits, sprinkling in little pieces of truth they’ve gleaned about the men they’re pretending to be.Denny’s imposters, for instance, frequently talked about being from North Carolina and visiting his family farm there (both of which are true), sending their targets pictures of him out in the field alongside beautiful horses. It worked: turns out plenty of women were drawn to the idea of a wholesome, sturdy country boy with a love of the outdoors and a sensitive side. As the months passed, he began receiving phone calls from women who, desperate to track him down, had taken to searching for him in his home state. In a few cases, they even got hold of his parents. “I’m actually pretty lucky that I’ve only got a cell phone,” he said. “My folks get it a lot worse, since they’ve got a landline that’s publicly listed and easier to find.”By late 2015, Denny was receiving a weekly barrage of calls and messages from frenzied women. His wife and teenage son were getting contacted. Some of the victims had become so entranced that even after being told they had been duped, they couldn’t let go. “I’ve had to end up blocking a few of them because they just can’t sort out what’s real and what’s not,” he said. “It consumes them. There’s one particular woman in Germany who, I’m sure, has pictures of me on her fridge and thinks I’m going to visit her someday. It’s not funny. It’s quite sad.”As a result of such interactions, Denny has become an expert at letting lonelyhearts down easy, writing hundreds of reverse “Dear John” letters to those who’ve fallen for him. He’s also had to learn how to pinpoint and eradicate fake accounts using his information. Since his now years-long search began in December of 2015, he’s identified roughly 4,000 bogus Facebook profiles that utilize a mixture of 51 different photos of him. Last fall, he got a meeting with Facebook executives to talk about the problem, but they weren’t particularly helpful. “At one point, the senior leader we spoke with just laughed out loud at us,” he said. “It was really trite, really condescending, and wreaked of an unprofessional disdain for responsibility and big picture solutions.”Facebook declined to comment on its meetings with Denny for this story, but a representative for the company told Task & Purpose in April that the social network is doing everything it can to ensure the safety of its users. “Staying ahead of those who try to misuse our service is a constant effort, and we work constantly to detect and block harmful activity, including removing accounts,” they said. “Our security systems run in the background millions of times per second to help catch threats and remove them before they ever reach you.”Denny does credit Facebook for meeting with him several times since to discuss his situation. Unfortunately, even if the company does an about-face and fully commits itself to hunting down the countless fake accounts on its platform, it’ll likely still be behind the eight ball for quite some time. “Offenders are truly committed to their targeting of victims, so for every fake profile that is removed or blocked, a new one can be created in its place,” said Dr. Cassandra Cross, an expert who has written extensively on the impact these ploys have on romance scam victims. “Anonymity and the transnational nature of offending works in favour of the perpetrators.”Though the odds are against him, Denny has continued to seek out executives at dating websites and social media providers to highlight the issue. During every discussion, he’s had to answer an uncomfortable question: Why him? Simple: Potential victims “see a guy who’s served his country, has a son, and suddenly lost his wife,” he said. “People want to step up and help that guy out. That’s the great country we live in, the great environment our military lives within. They never suspect those things could be used for evil.”‘I was so naive. My friends were all telling me it was a hoax’Sharon Hughes, a 65-year-old retired nurse and divorcee who now devotes her time to painting, is quick with a joke and has a jaunty, chipper laugh and a penchant for off-the-wall statements. “People have told me I’m unstable,” she told me. “I am unstable; I’m an artist!” Although she hasn’t remarried since she and her ex-husband divorced in 2003, she is looking for a life partner. In other words, she’s the ideal target for romance scammers.In 2015, Sharon was looking on Facebook when a “Ross Newton” popped up in the site’s “people you may know” section. He was a greying, sharply dressed soldier wearing an officer’s uniform, something that appealed to her since she came from a military family. Although she didn’t know “Ross,” the site’s social matchmaking algorithm suggested they connect. Drawn to his good looks, she figured: What the hell? and struck up a conversation. It was a big move for her. “Ross” responded back right away. She was elated.Within a few months, the two were soon exchanging several messages a day and contemplating starting a life together after he left the Army. Sharon was mesmerized by her boyfriend’s daring stories of combat and dedication to his troops, but she also felt bad for him; he’d suffered a terrible string of luck, including losing some of his closest companions in skirmishes. “There was one time when one of his best friends was injured by a grenade,” she said. “He described in detail how sad it was, sitting next to him as he died in a hospital bed. He got quite creative.”

Loneliness and that I can make it on my own…I. have been living with my mother the past 16 years now. Coming April 03,I will turn 17 and I am glad to have with a single parent because it has taught me a lesson no councillor would have been able to teach me.During my early age as a child, I unlike other children did not enjoy the privileges they got from their parents. Some of the privileges like:Going on a vacation trip with Mom and DadSpending the holidays with family friendsGetting a new shoe on request as soon as possibleGetting to enjoy class throughout the term without being sacked for owing feesEnjoying secondary school life right after junior high schoolHaving the company of Mom and DadSpending time alone with other siblingsThese and many others was I deprived of as a daughter to a single mother.I was always an adult in a child's body. Most of the kids never liked me because I was kind of quiet always and didn't want anyone to decide for me what to do next. I lived my entire life in school even though I wasn't a broader. Mom always scolded me for getting something wrong and would tell I was being naughty…I was a talkative, I would talk from morning till even without feeling tired. I would cause trouble wherever I went because other kids saw me as nothing just like salt dissolved in water simply because I didn't have a father and that I was a poor girl who lived in a shanty area in the industrial site. Yet I was not dull in school. I would catch up easily even after missing class for two weeks. I was ugly and sometimes didn't have food to eat. I remember clearly one time Mom didn't have money and I had to stay hungry for 12hrs and my mother said I was of age 2.I would not even drink water from your house when visit and stay from morning till evening because if I did Mom would beat me up, I wandered how she got know I had eaten from another person's home… She always said a friend's house is not your home your home is where you stay with me and you have peace sleeping at night knowing that I will stay up at night to pray for you…My mates in school would mock me just because I didn't have father and this behavior of theirs was constant till I left Junior high school after graduation.I dropped out of school when I was in form one that is grade 7, I stayed at home for 2 months and later received a scholarship from school. I won awards for my school during inter school's competition in spelling bee challenges, sporting activities like sack race, lime and spoon,thread and needle, musical chairs, football, tag of war or tag of peace, eating competition and many others. I was a house leader in my school since we were divided in to four houses. I won a number of second place for my house as well.I went on to compete being the heads of prefects in junior high school which I won and was the head girl's prefect from grade 8–9.In grade nine, we had to register for our final national exams to graduate and leave for campus placement in the secondary school (grade 10–12). The fee for registration and camping for one month two weeks was 100$.I was the first to pay because when the date was approaching, my Mom sold her last piece of cloth and handed me the money she got to pay for my registration.I completed Junior high school on 30th June 2015.. Hopefully I passed and got the chance to further my education in the Senior high school but there was no money and so I had to stay at home for two years.Later in 2017, I joined a private institution to further my secondary education by working to pay for my fees and receiving support from my boss. All this while my mates made fun of me…You might wander why I'm writing this long story which doesn't speak any advice from my Dad, it's simply because his advice to me was the loneliness I have been feeling all this while and it has taught me that not everything in life can be bought with money and that I can fight on my own in an honest way to make it in life.He also taught me that the beauty of life is by appreciating the little you have and embracing the future for more.He has made me who I am today and I'm proud to be myself. I know I need to work a little bit more to attain my biggest goals in life…He has also taught me the value of having and trusting God in life…I love my father very much even though he never cares for me.A brief history about my parent is that my mother is still the wife of my Dad though he is married to other women. He is filthy rich and is paying close to 1000$ of fees for my siblings. I'm the only girl in the mist of 9 boys with a toddler of a girl…My dream is to be the best and make my father proud of having a child like me…Here is a photo of me now just so sad I don't have one of me when I was a bit younger… Still young though.
