He is posing as a US Army Reserves in Charlotte, NC. Claims to be from WV, with a house there. States that his dad died when he was 11 in Mexico. His dad’s family didn’t want them so he and his mom moved to Iowa. He states he has had a long term relationship (of 8 years) with his ex who died 2 years ago giving birth to his child.
He did not get as far as asking for anything but did some suspicious that he didn’t have any social media and took these pictures. They are very much “on the gram” type stuff. Thankfully he gave his first name and I found him in here.
He also likes to ask for pictures and will send the gym ones. I tried to “prove to myself” this whole thing by asking for a picture at work in his uniform. It took hours. I’m starting to feel Eden is working with whomever these pictures are of to be a big game.
But I appreciate this site because I searched for two days to try to verify he was who he said he was. My intuition was right.
Got hit by the same person. From woo plus. What's app phone number 478-721-5828 as well as 617-397-1818 makes threats of posting pictures of you on porn sites if you do not give him a o eye when you catch him in the lie I blocked one number and he made another and keeps doing it. Make all of your accounts highly protected. He claims to be over seas with no access to his money or food to eat
Please keep blocking all unknown phone numbers and texts.
They eventually will go away.

I have been talking to someone using the same photos. He uses the person's real name Eduardo Montalvo. He sent me a like on Upward, a Christian dating app. He claims he's looking for someone to marry and is stationed in Albuquerque NM. He wanted to talk outside of the app and made me download telegram. I asked him just to add me on snapchat, but apparently he can because it's forbidden in the military to have social media. I asked him why it was different for him, because I talk to people from Fort bliss and they have social media. He claims they are breaking the rules. I did mentioned that I didn't believe he was real, and asked for proof, he claims to show me his ID but I did a search online about a fake id going around with this guy's face. It's heartbreaking
I always know I'm being catfished the moment they ask me for whatsapp or telegram, especially if they are military.
Luckily he hasn't asked me for any money or anything like that.
Met off Tinder going by "Liam Andres". Will seriously "vet" you by asking serious relationship questions early on. Will ask for phone number, if you say you're uncomfortable with that he offers to chat on Facebook messenger. Eventually, he will say he can't be on socials due to (EMCON) and ask to move to whatsapp. The story is that he lost both his parents in an accident in Guatemala and had to move in with his Aunt in Helena, Montana since the age of 10. Claims to be deployed in Syria, with home being in Seattle, WA.
