This is one of the replies given by someone else in the same forum thread....

Similar subject, on supraforums.com they had a guy create an account claiming to be a marine, posted various stuff for about 4 months, then said he was headed to Iraq. Shortly there after his brother made a post about the guy getting killed in Iraq by an IED. His family created a special fund and was asking for donations from the forum members......so guys started sending in money. Then someone said this sounded similar to another story on an Evo forum, and people started piece the story together. The whole thing was a scam. The guy created accounts on many of the car forums, played it out for 4-6 months gaining credibility and building false friendships, claimed to have been killed in Iraq, and then asked for funeral donations.
Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.....

This is horrible. I want to join the Military and they're using the soldiers' sacrifices as an excuse to make money. Lets hit this guy hard.

Edit: Not to mention he's doing it wrong. Nobody in the military uses a civilian account for their email. They all get a .mil address. Inform your friends.
