Lately I have been seeing many posts about Military scams, and

I wanted to let people know that you should never send money or pay for something because someone convinced you that they were in a war zone and have no access to an ATM or any way to send money. I can assure you that the U.S. Military will always have the ability to access money. I would like to add that if they are in a war zone they definitely would not have access to social media. We are currently not at war with anyone and there are no war zones only safety patrols.
And never send your personal home address to anyone who promises to send you a gift.
Before receiving the gift, he/she will inform you that you must pay some fees, then another person will call you to confirm then guide you to transfer the money. After you transfer the money, they will delete/block you.
These scammers will be your very close friend for weeks and sometimes months, then ask you for money.
Please save your heart and your hard earned money. Use common sense. Be very careful!

    Hello!! If you encounter one of these scammers, please don’t delete or block them right away. Report them to the HelloTalk admins first. Screenshot your conversations. Hopefully HelloTalk will delete their account before they can scam another person!

  • Youyou

    I met the same liar a few weeks ago, exactly as you described it. A terrible liar. He wanted to send me something. He said he was in the war zone. Ask me to help him. Then I deleted him. It was terrible!

  • Cheryea

    Thanks, Mr. Todd.

  • Melody

    When I was new here, I met someone like that. I felt strange about what he said to me and I just been polite with him. After I heard that he had 2.5 million US dollars, I deleted him as soon as possible. If you don’t want anything from those people, you won’t be deceived. So I don’t have sympathy for them

  • Dora

    Thanks for ur warming scam alert. Actually, I firmly believe that once u meet anything or anybody related to money, you should be more careful, especially for some weird reasons.
