According to the U.S. Army Criminal Investigative Command (ACIC), online scammers pretending to be members of the military are creating fake social dating profiles to scheme unsuspecting users out of money. According to the ACIC, con artists will fabricate relationships with women and then ask for money to enable them to visit the victims.
Once these unsuspecting women send the money, they never hear from the "soldiers" again. Many of these emails have been traced back to foreign cyber-cafes in Africa, but the individuals operating these fake U.S. soldier online dating scams are difficult, if not impossible, to track down. Be very careful if you are contacted via a social dating website by someone claiming to be a member of the U.S. military.
