I had never been to a date site until a friend of mine told me he goes to them just for fun and that I should try it. So, I signed up to one. The next morning I woke and to my surprise had a message on my fb page from a US Marine, this is what he said:
Terry Stone
Hello, How are you doing? I was browsing true some profile,i like your profile it sound good and fun.and I would like to get to know you better and see where it goes Well..My name terry stone and you ? hope to hear from you soon
The next one was left a couple of days later after I responded to the widowed Marine I will also post his fb profile picture:
Terry Stone
you sound so interesting to me.well am glad you replied my message.am very grateful.am also new on that site but you can add me on fb or add me up on my messenger this is my mail address.sgtstoneterry@yahoo.com or send me yourso i can add you.i will be the happiest man if you can hounor my request.happy easter
It took me 10 days to get on to chat after I added him to my messanger, but he was there the second I logged on. His picture stirred something in me~ I am usually VERY cautious as to who I open up too; I don't know how he was able to get so much info from me~they are good at what they do, I guess. Here is a portion of our first chat, and the profile pic he posted AFTER i sent the first installment of 100usd:

Ok, red flags should have caught my attention with this first conversation~~ cant' spell Afghan,
no such thing as "National Assignment, asking what I do for a living, and later in conversation told me he was divorced, NOT a widow! WOW, what was I thinking??? Not soon after he was asking for $ so he could buy...get this...COFFEE!! Told me he was an addicted to it and if he did not have it he would be sick! He also asked if fb was a dating site and I never got the answer to the question: "how did you find me?" here are some more fb messages we exchanged:you need to allow me to write on your wall. you have high security, here, dear
HELLO??? can't send you ANYTHING!! change settings for me please! you are looking at mine, now, I can see your likes!!! ee heee hurry!
you use Zoosk? wht is really going on?
April 23Terry Stone
Ok i will do that now
April 23 ME
are you using zoosz???????
April 23 ME
i 5 minutes, I am blocking you if I cant send or write on your page!!! getting suspicious!!! answer me
you use a lot of dating sites. don't like what i am seeing so far. Answer me please!!!!
you are on a mobile phone!!! what is going on??? I do not like this!!!!!
where are you???? I think you are closer than you say!!!
you told me you were 45 years old??? you are younger than me
April 23Terry Stone
No am not using zoosk
My commander gave me is phone to hold am with him now so have left the computer room.I just quickly signed in on his phone.
Ok, more red flags should have been seen here, but I rather enjoyed the attention I guess!! STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!
I was in contact with him for over 6 months, and in that time I sent him a total of 250usd. Not much compared to some of the people I heard, but he was working me the whole time. Having FULL access to my fb page and getting all of my friends info and pics! A very good friend of mine posted the following and he jumped at the chance to get her too!!
Your Military pen pal is a good looking man , and a hero to me, How do I get one? I would love to communicate with a soldier serving our country, I pray for him and all our brave men and women serving our country!!! Pass my love along to them!

He kept a close eye on me and my posts, He mentioned what she said and told me he had a friend, FREDDY that would love to chat with her! I will post that conversation, an argument (one of many) as well as Freddy's pic next:
Terry Stone
I ould search my whole life through and through an never find another you.
I love my life because it gave me you
I love you because you are my life
When you see a falling star to night, make a wish, it will come true because I wished and I found you.
If I had to choose whether to breathe or to love you, I would use my last breath to tell you that... I love you.
ME: why did you ever leave that first msg to me on fb??? was fine alone, you sent my world into tailspin and now ur gone. will never trust another man. rather than listen, get info, you leave and send me nasty notes. thought u were a different man. am fooled again, I guess. GOODbye
f*ck! hey, dude, I took $ out of M G and used W U. too much trouble w/ mg, have been trying to fix this for u and all I get is ignored, I HATE being ignored. am leaving for 45 min. nedd to find way to xxxxx's. have been p all night AGAIN, getting this done, and I am only being called horrible things by u. tell freddy to be online, spoke to xxxxxx. bye
July 27Terry Stone
Hun you made me said those words cos of the bullshit u do cos me u make pple can me several name. U think is fair with the ways am been treated by u? Just bcoz of how much u made agent call me names.
ME: u better leave ur Q & A for MG here asap, i alsp wont be able to give u a ETA on cheese fund arrival/. gonna have to wing it. i know ur are reading these. would have been nice to see some kind of reply showing concern or maybe...LOVE!
feeling alone and un-loved bt u a lot lately.
Mia Culpa=my fault for letting myself be treated this way. I mst be a glutton for puishment. have 40 min. left for internet. let's see wot happens...
July 20Terry Stone
Babe is like u dnt trust me.mayb I should open a new yahoomail.dnt u think so too
Luvin u is wt i wnt to do al my lif. Plz. Is never in my heart to hurt u or treat u bad.
ME: maybe it is ur phone and not yahoo.men have fucked w/ me my entire life, I have a tough time trusting men.(hence me being single by choice 4 long time.) It is not you, it is my issue, but sometimes u don't help the matter. u need to be a little more understanding. You only know very little about all the abuse I have endured by men who said they "luved" me. I will fix my messenger for awhile, if u can come on, fine but after tonight, If I feel as I am feeling now... well, I don't know wot to do. I am putting my trust in God, we "met" for a reason, I have to trust HIM (one of few men I've ever trusted) so, I will. remember, this is my demon, not yours, I just know you have lied, so now I am on gaurd; I evaluate everything..unhealthy, yes, but am getting help 4 it. I will fix messenger now. And try my hardest not to let doubt come between us.
PS~use computer, not ur bb, that is prob.
Sorry for the order these are going in, I had deleted YAHOO all together so I do not have the conversation when he told me about freddy, but here is his pic. He did end up chatting with my friend towards the end so she was not affected like me... thank God! They sent so many bugs and trujens to my computer, I am glad I do not bank online!!!
notice they do not even have the same type of cammies...hmmmm?

I am now going to post the stats on these two scammers, If I feel I need to post more conversations, I will later. I found their IP addresses on Spokeo as well as two more pictures of "my sweet Marine..." He also gave me the address to his "agent" who just so happen to be in...Lagos, Nigeria!!! come on, Vexed, wake up!!! wow... here it is:

THESE ARE FREDDY'S
This is the address he had me send Western Union too...google it, very interesting!
Adegbenro Kunle Azeez, 7 Kogberegbe street islolo lagos state, 23401 Nigeria
HEY VEXED??? NO RED FLAGS YET??? Here are the pics of the poor Marine who is unknowingly involved:
Oh, almost forgot, He wanted me to send 500usd so he could come and see me on "leave" so he instructed me to fill out the leave form he sent to my email and these are the addresses that belong to it. I want to post the form I got, but only have hard copy and I am not sure how to do it.
CAME FROM: Service@usarmy.com
HAD TO RETURN TO: USARMYDEPARTMENTS@MILITARYMAILBOX
Of course I did what he wanted and he got a lot of my personal info!
I just have to say that during this time I was researching the USMC due to the fact that he could tell me nothing about it! In the end, I knew more about the corps than he did...go figure...Semper Fi.
Not only did I get violated by this monster, they are exploiting our military men and women!!! I still think about the man in the pictures...wonder if he is ok, I really feel bad and connected to this man because we are both victims.
It makes me cry to think about him (the real Marine) I am crying right now as a matter of fact...
I really have a lot more to post, but want to get this info out to you all asap. I will return with more when I can.
Posting this today has taken a lot out of me emotionally, so I think I better step away for a minute. If anyone has questions or comments, PLEASE REPLY! I could use some insite.
Bye for now, and thanks for taking your time here with me, and remember:
"IF IT LOOKS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS!"
