Description

We began chatting on FB in mid-July. He claimed to be an Admiral in the US Navy, on a ship in Japan, ready to retire. Of the 17 or so red flags suggested to watch out for, I found 8 or 9. He never asked for money until November. Many imposters of him popped up from time to time so it was difficult to know who I was chatting with.He soon switched our conversations to Spike chat for security. He asked me to receive a package for him until he was stateside. At first I refused several times since I'd never met him/her or had a voice/video chat and the contents of the pkg was unknown to me. He pressured me to receive the pkg because he claimed his personal belongings were in it and Iranian sleeper cells were ready to attack the fleet. I agreed after incredible pressure, and found out later that he expected me to pay $5000+ for shipping the pkg, an amount unaffordable for me, so I tried several times to cancel the delivery . I suspected this to be a Military Romance Scam.
