I recently discovered that I was the victim of a military romance scam. Luckily, I figured it out before sharing too much information and I didn't lose any money. The person found me through a chat space for widows and used my loss to gain my trust. They claimed to have also lost someone and therefore we had a lot to talk about.

Its yet another secondary loss. If the love of my life wasn't gone I would have never been in the position to be taken advantage of. The whole experience made me realize how lonely and vulnerable I really am.

Be diligent. We are all easy targets.
