Kimberly, nice name, love that, in Los Angeles, California. Hello there, Kimberly. Welcome aboard. What's going on with you?
Hi, Kim. I have to tell you first off, I'm a huge fan. I watch your podcast every day, and I read your newsletter every single day with my coffee. I'm a huge fan of yours. You're welcome. Thank you. Well, to cut to the chase, a year ago I was on Facebook and this guy in the military contacted me. And I usually don't answer. So for some reason, I don't know why I did.
And it's gone on for a year that we're texting each other. But he started asking for like Apple cards and small amounts of money.

But it's continuing. And it's not large amounts. It's like under $200. Have you been giving it to him? Once in a while I do, not hardly at all though. I try not to because I'm so worried it's a scam. My family members always tell me, it's a scam, it's a scam.
So this guy's in the military. What does he do in the military?
He says he's intelligent. That's what he says. And where is he located? He's actually in Yemen, he says.
Okay. Is this a romantic relationship or just pen pals?
Kind of pen pals, you know. Okay. Nothing serious.
So you just chat with this guy all day long, all week long, and then every now and then he's like, hey, can I get a hundred bucks?

Chapter 4: What are the common types of scam texts people receive?
But then the article says that the daughter's an infant, and the girl was clearly about 13, I'd say. So I don't know if all the information I'm getting is correct. He told me first he lived in Pennsylvania, then in New York State.

I've never asked him. I'm bought into it. So he wants, he wants three.
So he wants $300 in Yemen on assignment working military intelligence. I mean, he should have 300 bucks. You would think so. Yeah.
Have you ever videoed him? uh no but he sent me he's actually in jail now for what i don't know in yemen he's in jail in yemen he's a military guy in jail oh come on kimberly what's he gonna do with 300 bucks in yemen jail buy a yemen shank from someone maybe he maybe he needs a new shirt or something i don't know i don't know either
