1. Always died tragically to hook you in and make you feel sorry for them. It is a lie. From what I have been told I would not want to give birth in America, get sick in America or go driving a car in America (especially on my birthday on the way to the mall or home from the mall to get my birthday cake).
2. If the wife didn't die then they will be divorced or separated usually because of cheating with a friend or neighbour. Again the lies get bigger and less believable but are designed to make you feel sympathy for the scammer.
3. None of this information is true. A soldier whether deployed abroad or at a base in America or somewhere else, is allowed to communicate with loved ones. They can use any method they like as they pay for the communication. They are encouraged to take their mobile phones, their laptops so that they can communicate with family and friends. It boosts a military personnel's morale to be in contact with their loved ones.
They want to move you to an app that is not Instagram for communication because then they have more information about you ie email address and mobile phone number. Remember that scammers will also sell your information to other scammers to make quick money.
They want to move you to another app because they can keep all their eggs in one basket, ie all their conversations with ladies in one place. It makes things easier for them to keep track of.
4. They are not peacekeeping anywhere in the world. All of these places are war torn countries and your military person is not communicating with you on Instagram from there. They are not using any platform online to meet women whilst they are deployed abroad. Sure fire scammer.
5. Any military personnel who is deployed away from their base abroad never needs you to send your money for anything or to spend your money buying them anything. They have access to their bank account whilst away - banking and the ability to access your bank account with online banking and your bank card is universal. They do not need you to pay for medication or food. The military are very good at feeding their personnel - an army marches on its stomach - again it is a way of keeping morale high. They want healthy personnel deployed so they are going to make sure they remain healthy and fit so will have access to the best care and medicines.
If a person uses an Apple device of any kind be it a laptop, a pc, a phone, an iPad or an iPod they have to have an Apple account registered on the device to access the app store. Even if the apps they are downloading to use are free a credit or debit card has to be registered to the account also. Therefore they have a means to pay for credit, a means to pay for movies, music, books and TV, a means to update apps or buy new apps. It is all lies. They do not need an iTunes card for this as they have a bank card registered to their Apple device and their Apple account already. The same is true for Google accounts on android phones. So they do not need any cards for any reason - they ask for a card they are a scammer.
If they say they need money to help them buy a plane ticket the answer is they don't - they can access their own money whilst away to do this.
If they say they need you to pay for their leave to come to see you know that this is a lie. No service personnel every pay to leave their service period. They earn leave and can take it once earned provided they are able to at the commanding officer's say so. They cannot and do not pay to get leave.
Any other request for money from you is a lie. They either use their own or they get it provided by their military service or The American Embassy in the country they are in. They do not need you to send it to them.
They are sending you a parcel full of their belongings, money, jewellery, gold, weapons, items they have found whilst peacekeeping. NO NO NO. They would not do this as they are not allowed to keep items they find. They would not send a whole heap of cash or jewellery to you. This is a scam to get you to pay customs and import duty. Please see here to see an example of this scam.
6. Their children are in boarding school. No they are not. They say this to make you feel sorry for them at being apart from their kids.
They say that their children are being looked after by a relative, a neighbour or a friend - possible but unlikely. I mean would you ask anyone to look after your kids for months while you work away from home in the military?
They say a teacher is taking care of the kids. I once was a teacher and believe me I certainly would never have done this ever at all under any circumstances.
These are such implausible lies.
