From James Scott on Quora.com - Former Paratrooper at U.S. Army (2007–2018)
"How can I know if a US Army 'officer' is a scammer or not?
If you are in contact with someone claiming to be a member of any of the branches of the US Military…there is one, surefire, 100% accurate way to tell if they are scamming you, and it’s really simple:
The moment they ask you for money, they are scamming you.
Period.
No ifs, ands, or buts. There is NO legitimate reason for any member of the US Armed Forces to ask random strangers on the internet for money. Period.
NEVER send money to anyone you do not know personally (as in in person, not online, know the person, have met them, they’re your neighbor, bowling league buddy, whatever, if your relationship with them is 100% composed of electronic words on a screen like yours and mine….don’t send money to them.)"
