I asked this guy about APO or FPO mailing address...and he gave me this....Last Name Martinez, First Name Nelson (Section) 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit 76017 FPO AA 96427-6017 It is real or not?
I assume he is not real. To make sure it please post all info such as his email ID, pics, skype, phone number, etc in AM I BEING SCAMMED --> http://romancescam.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=21 so we can help you more to research him n giving you a proof is he real or not.
It could be fake address, depends on the contest of the message you got . Please kindly post the profile, some messages , pictures, phone number and we will help you to determinate . Please do not send money or do the favors to anyone you met online. Be safe.
Confronting the scammer is WRONG!!! DON'T enlighten criminals with your wisdom. REPORT & BLOCK.

Shorter answer, before seeing additional evidence, no. Because the actual format is "first name+last name".
Which Lt. Col. Hannett explains in the very first post:
So the email you received comes from a fake "sent from", in all likelihood. Analysing the email header (FAQ) would be of further enlightenment here: I bet its "reply-to" line shows a yahoo, hotmail, gmailetc email address - which is typical for African scammers to work this way
Please try your best to block ALL your scammer´s still incoming messages and calls!

I have a question concerning US military e-mail too. Currently I am chatting to someone stating to be a US Marine veteran currently deployed to UK for a career course. He already told me that he is short of money as he lost his debit card. Already suspicious...
I know about that military scams so I asked him to text via his official military e-mailadress. He said that he is not free in using that accont for everything and that this account accutaly only is for important messages and that if I wanted to text via this account he would need to register me officially what he only could do in the states. Can this be true? Would be glad for your help!
Welcome to RS. Please know you are chatting with scammers. If they can't fulfill your expectations they will keep lying and at the same time brainwash you and come up with the stories why they can't use official mail to the point that if you didn't know better you could actually fall for it.
Scammers try to create very official sounding email addresses but please do not confront them about it. Stupid and uneducated scammers are less harm to the people searching for relationships online. They are easier to be spot and reported as fraud.
Kindly post: fake profile, email address, phone numbers, stolen pictures, fake name, money request info. Please BLOCK them and IGNORE, be safe online.
