    Default I hope someone can help with some answers

    Hello, I am part of a blogtalk radio group that was duped for a long time by a scoundrel who was posing as a Lt Col. Retired from the Marines. We have since found out he spent 39 days in basic training before being asked to leave, not sure why. He has bilked quite a bit of money from our group along with a used car...my question, is it legal to pass oneself off as a Lt Col, Retired and if it isn't how does one report such a thing?

    This scoundrel is currently back on facebook, still claiming he is a Lt Col., Retired, duping vulnerable women with his lies of his military disabilities, faked cancer ect...he is going by the name of John Thundershield, and here are some of the links to his pages:

    I hope someone might have an answer, it is terrible knowing this person is a fraud but to use our military to scam people is an offence he'll burn in hell for. If you need more information I will attempt to answer with whatever I can.
    Thanks

    I am not telling you to run off I am just asking that you follow the site protocol that we require everyone to. Your answers may be here. There are however rules that we follow. Being the best Paratrooper Site on the WWW, we get several requests a day just like this.

    There are former and current Marines that are here on the site that may want to contact you via e-mail or something along those lines taht can assist you. As a Website though, we are not in business to chase every poser request that comes our way.

    You are more than welcome to stay, however as stated I just need to make sure that the rules are followed. If you choose to stay you are welcome to post an introduction in the appropriate area and again, take the time to read the rules and the SOP of the site.

    Thank you.

    Hello Skyshark, I didn't run away, I just went to introduce myself. I really didn't think...I should have known better. I would have reposted once people got to know me. Thank you :)

    I see you've posted an introduction. Thanks for that.

    As Skyshark mentions, as a site we don't hunt down every poser we hear about (unless they're dumb enough to come here and lie to us), but there may be individual members who are willing to help you out.

    Good luck on your quest. If any members would like to help her out, fire her a PM or email. Thread closed.
