Military Romance scams are similar to Catfishing and phishing scams, but in this case, the scammer presents the persona of a military member who is looking to interact with someone they can scam. They build emotional connections and eventually ask for money, often citing deployment-related reasons, such as travel expenses or legal fees.

Some of the common tactics that these scammers use are:

• Fake military photos or uniformed images to appear credible.
• Claiming to need money for early discharge, medical emergencies, or to return home.

In summary, these scammers are good, and the message here is do not allow yourself to get talked into sending funds or products to these individuals.
