Casual Discussion How to verify someone whether they are really employed by US army?

[littlespark76]

Good morning,

I am talking to someone who claims to be a member of US army, air force unit in Germany in particular. It looks too good to be true a bit.
How can I find out if it is not a scam and the man is actually who he claims to be? The lad seems to be genuine, but I still have a bit of reservations.
Is there any way to check his name somewhere?
Please don´t laugh at me, today´s world is full of people pretending to be someone else. I will appreciate some decent advice.

Ask his full name,call Ramstein Base and ask for him as his friend/girlfriend or family.

In the end I finished talking to this guy, as it felt like a scam.
The guy was transferred to Jordan apparently. And then it started to feel after a while like Indiana Jones story. Anyone knows anyone in Jordan bases ?

This is a very well known scam so good for you. Most here are hobbyists, most of us are not active duty, and number of americans here are really low.
