Hi Petra

I’m sorry you have met a scammer but don’t feel ashamed, so many people are falling for their lies and yes the desire for love makes you blind to reality.

At least you worked out it is a scam before you sent any money.

Hi,I first Idon’t speaking english very well ok? Then I want you excuse if I write something wrong. I found this article when I was looking for a site that my “boyfriend” gave to me to ask for a leave to him. He doesn’t ask for money yet, but I see he was on his way. I think this is a very organized gang of scumers because look a like when they engaged somebody they have to report it to other person and for this reason they ask to the lady for his leave. You know like a tower of control(sorry I don’t know how to said it). I’m very shamed because my ex- husband was a military and I knew that he has to ask for himself his leave if he want to get out. But I was so illusionate and so desperate to find somebody who love that I was almost fell. I feel sorry for the real sgt. Andrea Ramos, who looks so nice and so good.We most have to stop this people.

I served under Col Richard G Piscal many years ago and I can tell you that he is a very professional military person with a happy family and would never be on facebook trying to meet girls.

Ok ladies, beware of Albert Donato, 51, of Houston Texas. Claims to originally be from Australia, moved to Texas after divorce. No children. Claims to have just finished construction in England of a gas station. We corresponded for over a month, claimed to want to meet me. Went so far as to send flowers and a musical card from England. Was getting ready to come back to the United States when he didn’t have enough money to ship all his equipment home. Started asking for $5,500 then decreased it to 2800 when I wouldn’t give it to him. When I continued to refuse he then told me he couldn’t be with me because I didn’t trust him enough to help him out even after he sent me flowers and a card. Claims he is being fined for his equipment being in the way and that he could no longer be with me because I didn’t “love him” like he did me. Whew! Tried explaining about all the scams online and of course he said he wasn’t one of them and that I couldn’t judge him on past experiences and everyone else. lol Met him on Match.com

Hi Tami

You are already doing something to stop it, you are posting details of this scammer for other potential victims to find. Please don’t feel ashamed, you did nothing to feel ashamed about .. the scammer is the one who should feel ashamed. The real Colonel is a grown man of the world and will either take steps to remove his name from such scams or more likely accept nothing can be done to stop scammers completely and get on with his life.

Report the profile to FB, it’s a small step but the more we keep scammers running the less chance they have to fake legitimacy and scam other victims. Find other scammer forums and blogs and post the details there too. The more places his details are posted the more likely it is other victims will find it.

My scammer befriended me on Facebook, his profile is still there and he contacted me thru Yahoo Messenger just last night. Of course he was trying to explain that I am wrong and that I have let the things I read on the Internet confuse me. WHATEVER!! He says he is Colonel Richard G. Piscal, his Facebook is just Richard Piscal. Even has an email under his name col.richardpiscal@yahoo.com (how crazy is all this??)I found a newspaper article that shows the real Colonel with his wife and children that was from May of this year. He told me his wife has been dead from a sudden illness for 5 years. I don’t have the faintest idea how to stop this guy. I lost only $70 to his bogus phone service that I Western Union sent them he called it Telecom.Military.com and they sent me letters for over a week. The last one just being 2 days ago saying they were going to be returning my money. I sent it to a Richard O sharp in West Haven, CT
I’m angered, I’m ashamed, I feel just awful for this real Colonel. and yet have no idea how to stop this animal from doing this to other people and just ruining this honorable Colonels good name. If anyone can help me… It would be most appreciated.
