I think I've experienced it all until I got a call from a woman who said she has been in love with "me" for three months only to find out that it wasn't me. She called and stated that she had an online relationship with someone by the name of Major Dave Weinstein who is on active duty in the U.S. Army. After three months she decides to do some internet searches and finds my website and - to her surprise - the photos of Major Dave Weinstein were photos of Lt. Colonel Bob Weinstein.
The scam appears to be organized and using the military angle to attract those looking for love. Eventually money is needed for some military related item to help the soldier.
BBC reported on some major arrests that took place worldwide. BBC story: Million dollar dating scan mum and daughter arrested.
