I was chatting on yahoo messaging with someone who claimed to be a captain in the British army stationed in Afganistan, by the name of Hutton Kevin. He told me he would like to talk on the phone but because of security we would have to go through the military phoning service and he told me not to tell anyone about this service for security purposes. He gave the above e-mail address and said I should request the phoning service on a secure line to talk to my man CAPT Hutton Kevin. I wrote to the address with the request and the next day I recieved an official looking reply stating they needed some personal info from me and $350.00 sent by western Union to Karen Hamilton address 19 Hawthorne Grove Wallasey Wirral, Counrty: UK, City: Liverpool, Code: CH447DP. I was pretty sure it was a scam, but when I looked up the address of Karen Hamilton it was a residence, so at that point I was sure it was a scam. I wasn't gullible enough to send the money nor did I have it to send if I didn't believe it to be a scam. When I chatted with Hutton Kevin (if that is even his or her real name) I explainned I could not afford this He continued to ask me to try and also suggested I borrow the money or try to pay it in installments. I cut off all communication at that point and e-mailed him at: [email protected] and told him I knew it was a scam. I didn't fall for it and pay any money. I just want people out there to be aware of this.
