And if you are approached by anyone using the images of this man be sure you are being approached by a fake account manned by scammers.
Please never approach the real man from the photos. Remember that he gets his image used to front hundreds of fake accounts and fake scams every single day of the week. He is much more of a victim than you are.
The only way to stop yourself from being a victim is to not believe what you are told, do your research using a search engine and a few minutes of time and trying to use a reverse image search app on your phone or computer.
If someone asks you online for any cash, tech or cards of any sort then you can be certain you are talking with a scammer using a fake account. No soldier needs anything or pays for leave, it is not the person's birthday, it is not necessary to pay for a package, import duty, export duty or whatever it is they are asking for. Empower yourself to say no, to report and to block them.
