Default Scammer...

I dealt w/ someone on here who scammed me out of some money. It's been months since the deal was "suppose" to happen w/ me having no luck of getting a response from him. He is in the military and I was wondering if anyone knew how easy it would be to find out who this young mans commanding officer would be so I could write him a nice little letter explaining how upstanding of a soldier he had. It's not a ton of money but at this point it's been nearly 6 months so it's the principle and I want my money back. Any suggestions would be awesome

you would need to knwo his fiest and last name, and what branch of service he is in, knowing his base would also be a good thign too, also if you do find him and report it to his commander more than likley you will get your money back

His sn on here is "infantrymarine". His name is Jason Long and he currently resides in VA. Not sure if he actually is stationed there, but do have his address where I sent the money order.

You can get your money back if you contact his CO. I'd do it in a heartbeat...I hate ******* that give the military a black eye like this. Call the base closest to where he is stationed, they'll point you in the right direction.

In fairness it could be that he did get deployed, but I've never been somewhere that a computer wasn't available at some point over the next few months of a deployment. I've been told at work to go home and pack a bag and be back in 45 minutes to deploy before.

Someone needs to mention it...if he did get deployed then a quick search of the casualty lists is also in order. He may have a VERY good excuse. Let's hope he doesn't.

Oy...didn't think about that. Definitely hope not although I highly doubt that's the case.

If you look at his public profile on here, you can see this "Last Activity: 02-17-2008 07:48 AM"

So he has been on here recently

This really belongs in this forum because the member is military, they move and are deployed so address and contact information changes.
