I'm sorry that you were scammed.

Can you give us the General's email address, and post the email he sent to you?
Can you also post email address and emails from the "barrister," Fred Anderson?
Do you have any phone numbers used by both of them?
Please stop all communication with them now, for your own protection, and also to help other victims of the scammer.
We do not want the scammer spooked, educated, or to change his details. Other victims need to be able to search and see your posts to have a chance to be saved. Do not report his skype, yahoo, or email accounts to the hosts to be closed.
