Jakson Adams Is A Fraud
February 9th, 2010 by CJ
I've been writing about the military dating scams for far too long. Far too long. I've recently decided to stop just talking about it and actually get involved. I have a little extra time on my hands since I'm alone in this here garage for a few months.
So, I've started to converse with these morons. Interestingly, they're starting to disappear. It's amazing what happens when you challenge them. The key is to stick to one of just three questions to assure yourself that the person you're talking to is a fraud:
1. What is your AKO?
2. What unit are you in?
3. Send me a picture of you holding a sign with a heart around my name (for the ladies).
That first question is the kicker. I asked one guy to tell me his AKO and he sent me his first name. I asked him what that was and he said his user name. Ladies and gentlemen, that's not an AKO user name. The unit one is fun if you know anything about the military, but if you're not in the military do some research if he answers that. It's not hard to figure out if the unit he claims to be in is actually deployed (as most of the these scammers claim to be).
One such guy I've been messing with lately scams women by the name of "Jakson Adams," a Soldier who doesn't exist by the way. I traced his IP back to Africa and asked him about that.
Hello CJ,
I still defend my self and you don,t know anything about me. stop saying what you don,t know and don,t think you can put me to fear. I am who i am as i stated, and stop talking rubbish. You said i should,t contact the ladies again and i think you must come and get me rather than wasting your time over where you are. I reply this mail to you because i wanted you to come traced me.
Grammar is a major indicator of a scam. Very few Soldiers type as bad as EVERY SINGLE one of these scammers does. So, I asked two simple questions: What is your AKO and what do you do in the Army? His response? "I don,t have time for you." That was cut and paste by the way, comma and all. I explained to him that if he didn't answer these simple questions that the good "Jakson Adams" would be exposed as a fake. He didn't seem to care much.
Tell everyone that am fake. I don,t have time to prove my self to you. If i do what will i gain by wasting my time to prove who i am. I have a lot to do and please tell everyone that am fake because that is your job. try and contact [name deleted to protect victims] to send you my picture so you can past it at all the dating site including my name. i think that will make sense, don,t write to me anymore because i will not reply. i have giving you the go ahead and do what ever.
Well, "Jakson Adams" did provide some pictures that he most likely got from elsewhere on the internet. I'll publish those at the end of this post, but first my continued pressing into who this dude is.
You will just change your name to another fake Soldiers name. You just wasted more time not telling me what unit you are in. The picture you sent Trish is not you, it is a REAL Soldier. Someone worthy to wear the uniform. Someone who isn't a criminal panty waste who doesn't get scared from his own shadow like you are. Why is your email coming from Africa if you're an American? Can you explain that to me? That seems weird!! Oh wait, you AREN'T an American.
When you change names, I will find you again and post that name. You will change again and I will post it. I will continue to hound you because I now have your IP address and find you wherever you go! Maybe you should just start finding real ways to make money by actually working for a change. You can start by cleaning up elephant poop.
Hehe, I said elephant poop. He didn't like it, either.
You are a fool to tell me to start cleaning up elephant poop. I can see you don,t have anything better to do. Just write back to me and let me know the kind of job you will like to do. I said this because you are always on you computer doing nothing and i suggest you need a job. waiting
Well, you know me. I'm not one to leave a good scammer waiting. He has a lot of women to get to and no time to be waiting around on me.
Me: I'm in the army, unlike you.
"Jakson Adams": So you think i don,t know who is written to me? I do and just pretend i don,t know.
Me: Yeah, you're a great pretender. Like when you pretend to be a soldier.
For some reason, I haven't heard from him since. The same goes for "Christain Browning" that I was talking with for a LONG time on Yahoo Messenger who also "didn,t have time for me" when I continued to press for his AKO. He has oddly disappeared from Yahoo as well. Here are the photos of "Jakson Adams" being circulated among various women.
Now, "Jakson," if you're a real Soldier, I challenge you to leave a comment to this post and prove me wrong. I'd hold my breath, but I'm not ready to beat the crap out of Murtha's hellbound soul just yet.
Now as for the photos, a dead giveaway that they've been stolen from another person's blog or Facebook page is the size of the images. Typically, they won't be bigger than about 130kb, the size that most Facebook photos are edited to. If you the REAL Soldiers in these photos, please have them contact me.

I Love you all..
There is a new name being used out there with the same bad grammar. The name is SGT Michael Corcoran and uses the email sgt.michaelcorcoran@yahoo.com so beware.
Remember, you would not give money to a stranger who rang your doorbell and you should never give private info or money to someone who rings your email bell.

Excuse me but every time you make a purchase at a garage or over the phone or anything at all believe me. anyone knows your everything about you, and if you hand over your card for any reason for it to be swiped they have the identity security code too so can clean your bank out. ( yes know from experience that too ) Gosh I am going to become an author I think on SCAMMING and scammers of all variations i am getting an expert any one want to join the club ????
Trish,
I see a great difference between buying groceries at HEB and sending money to someone I have never met.
The burden to ensure you are not dealing with a scammer or thief is on the consumer. Information is available from many reputable sources to aid in such decisions.
The bottom line: the internet is a wonderful and happy hunting ground for scammers and thieves. It lends an amount of anonymity to any person.
Also, no, it does not happen to just anyone.
So scamming the scammers isn't illegal?
Eye for an eye, I guess……..
Hi girls
I think it is about time we women help each other and show these dirtbags That hell has no fury like a woman scorned. They think we are stupid and easy marks. but they are to ignorant to think we will work together and I know we can beat any of them if we set our minds to it,Even one at a time is one less scammer .
How can anyone seriously fall for this?
I don,t understand+
REPLY to CHAD …. EASY MY DEAR ,you could get conned very easily CHAD my BOY ! very easily in deed, if you feel the person is telling you the truth and talks military etc and how busy they are and about uprisings and the news we get over here backs that up ,so maybe they listen to the news to back up their stories, I have been scammed twice once for nearly a year…… waiting waiting ,and it never came,,,,, and I am NOT A STUPID WOMAN far from it,,, just got caught at a weak point or lonley time in my life, whose to say how it happens ,but thats what they play on and give you evidence to back it up ! they aint stupid either ,they are professionals at their line of work ( SCAMMING ) getting into peoples heads and hearts.so there you have it. in a nut shell, hope life is always good for you, did those guys in the phots know they had their identity taken from them DID THEY ????? NO I BET THEY DIDNT OR DONT NOW, so go look for them do me a favour find the guy I thought I was waiting for for 4 months…..there is 3 pics of him… ( the distiguished guy with the slicked back hair !!!! I thought military rule was no web cams…. connections kept to minimum, anyway have said my piece… getting cross so going. Thanks for your comment anyway Have you been on ILS lately have a look there at all the scammed pics do you good !!! "T"
Hey Trish — if a guy doesn't know how to spell or use punctuation wouldn't some pretty big red flags go up? Or you would just justify that many he has a little Arabian sand in his keyboard and he is using the comma (,) instead of the apostrophe ('). I am going to take a huge stab in the dark here – you fell for one of these guys? (I guessed that before I even read your whole post!)
Trish maybe if you don't want your identity stolen you don't put pictures up on facebook. I have a website for my family that is LOCKED. Not everyone can see it. I am not blaming the soldier that had his pictures stolen. I am blaming the gullible for not putting two and two together.
HINT from Judge Judy – DON'T LOAN MONEY TO ANYONE ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT IT BACK!
Brad, thanks for your mail and well justified to say least, and yes I did fall for the nice guy I thought he was and no doubt the real guy is nice no doubt, that I wont know , all i can say is that this scammer wasnt only writing to me he had a few on the go, 2 of which I write to at the moment, and some guys have a way with words,and some guys dont write much, if they are so busy,at work etc, and yes I swallowed a load of crap ! we all did, and he is still using the guys identity on other sites and hasnt been caught yet, hope he is soon, I thought I had found the real guy, different photo pose, to the 3 pictured here in this site, and I just wanted to tell him he was being scammed( as obviously he doesnt know ) and guess what it was the scammer who answered me!!!! on that site asking C.J. and me to go that bit further to track him !!! I declined to answer him. As far as face book is concerned I have never put my pic up there or on any other site except a dating site for older people such as myself, which is supposed to be safe and secure and all profiles checked, as you can imagine I have closed down my member ship on that site, so for your info thats how the scammer found me, all innocent like that…. easy peasy ! thats how they do it, as far as writings and abbreviations and english grammar is concerend, it is a well know fact that USA people do not use the same phrases or word or spellings as us BRITS, so I gave him benefit of the doubt there, in his lack of grammar etc .I certainly do not write the same on a computer as I would with my fountain pen and parchment writing paper, lots of people use TEXT language and Abbreviations on Pc,s yet another reason for letting things go a bit , but I wont get caught again will I…. and as i said I thought Military personel couldnt use web cams, and had to follow strict guide lines, as all their conversations were monitored I must have the wrong info, and the dating site also got it wrong ,and I have chastised them for that and they in tend to change their site to make it more secure and vet new and old people as to their true identities and where they are from, Anyway thanks for replying I just wanted to say that, some people get caught, some people dont, some people do trust a little and are nice people and take people at " face value" which is right and which is wrong..?? I would love to put it all right and show the guy I fell for where he went wrong…. wherever he left his face and info, these scammer scum find everything there is to find and leave the person in pieces until they can find out themselves or someone tells them "HEY saw your pic on SOLDIERS perspective you are being scammed " Now wouldnt that be a good gesture…. TRISH
another scammer his name is captain ferris marshal. says he is in Darfur. Same old story. be wary of him. He can spell. To Chad Never say never. Anything can happen to anybody. People don't get scammed because they are stupid.They get scammed because they are trusting.
Thank you Judy Judy – why would you trust anyone you don't know with money and again why would you trust anyone you did know with your money? You people seriously need to watch some Judy Judy and see how many people screw the pooch in relationships by loaning money. It is plain and simple – keep your money in your pocket!!!
Unless of course CJ has a worthy cause. He has been checked out. I trust him.
there was an attempt to scam me by Capt Ferris Marshal
when I told me about my suspisions, he called me a whitch but before that he informed me that he was crying……evidently over his broken heart
Thanks donna, for those kind words you said.. no one thinks they are going to get scammed do they,? funnily enough had another one to night couldnt believe it after 2 hours he wants to settle down with me leaving Iraq in 3 months,, gave me all the crap as usual. Richard ( nick name "maestro" forgot his surname for a min but will look it up tomorrow on the BADOO site, army sergeant again, couldnt believe it…. well well well !!!not allowed to make calls out not allowed web cams.. stationed in Bagdad peacekeeping on" post" all night on in terent, what fab security they have in bagdad….. well there we go dont it again. will send his name to C.J tomorrow too late now, to go back to mail and find it but have blocked him been in army for 28 years…anyway… "T"
Oh so he tricked you using "love". Oh man………
YES full name I couldnt remember last night in previous messege to this one ( ge whiz ( un dying love within an hour of being on line ) quick worker !and now i find 4 women attatched to me throug him on my mailsite? though I cant write them to ask them they just seem to have attatched themselves, anyway this one as i said Sergeant Richard Richardson( maestro.de@live.com on his last 3 months on peacekeeping in Iraq, completed 28 years originlly from military college, Is it diferent over in USa as here if you go to military college at an early age you are programmed for OFFICER material so how come a sergeant thats NCO with us over here in UK. or is it that different in USA in the way you do things like that you have diferent status as in segeant first class where as we would have sergeant major ( end of. never mind first class ???)
I still fail to understand how falling in love with someone you have never talked to or even met works. I generally like people I can touch, feel, kiss, etc. You get the gory details.
Especially when they ask you for money.
Chad
You probably never will understand. I do and so do the other women on this site.
Donna, I think you can only speak for yourself and UK Trish. I don't think you can speak for all women on the sight.
Why do we as a society live our lives on the internet – including our love lives? I mean, I check my email, I check a few blogs but that is it. Just like I don't understand why so many people are so damn attached to their cell phone. I have one but people get upset when I don't reply to TM right away. People need to get a life…….away from technology and go geocaching. See the world!
Chad
I am speaking from a woman's perspective something you cannot do. If you are not part of the solution you then become part of the problem. The women come on this site for help not to hear you say How could you be so stupid. So please Chad stick a sock in it.
I guess I am part of the problem then. But that being said, I never said anyone was stupid. I just don't understand how anyone (men included) can fall for this.
Donna, the sock has been stuck……
Sorry Chad I didn't mean to sound so harsh.
Donna
For Chad,s attention, I am not speaking for all the women on this site, but it seems to me we seem to have a lot in common, ie. being scammed, or we wouldnt be on here searching for some truths some where on the line, I was lucky this time I didnt part with any of my cash, because I had wised up a bit and wasnt so "green" second time around, yes us girls come here for support and to compare notes and sometimes we can actually see how many of us have the same scum bag jerk of a man writing to us saying the same thing, But REALLy all my explanations are wasted on you so not going to wear my finger nails down talking to you, you have your views we have ours, and thats the end of the whole thing i will continue in a bid to find the right guy to try and tell him his identity is being used ( my only gain really is to find him to tell him that ) if on the other hand I find him and he is single and I am un attached and we meet up " INTHE FLESH" then so be it I will invite you to the wedding okay Chad ! you can buy yourself a new Hat ! and have a lovely time, But have to find the guy first,,, and there lies the problem, is he still in the forces , has he left, is he alive, did he lose his life in Iraq, we wont know til the records set us straight will we, un til then his pics stay put in my house, just as a respect for the job he did, I hope he succceeded in getting back to Home ( Florida ) I believe in one piece, and with his mind also " whole " and can live a normal life.. All the best Chad I dont need any more of your comments, you seem to be a hard faced hard hearted human being. Sorry to be blunt but well thats how I read your comments each and every one of them, so if you havent got anything positive to say, leave us alone to try , to do our best in finding the guys who we thought we had and lost somewhere a long the line…..and let,s try together to put an end or cut down the scamming by these scums, from some African countries, which give their countries a bad name as well
Hard faced……….no.
Heard hearted………yes.
Chad
are U sure trish isn't a scammer, sounds like one/ or she has it bad
I have been assured by CJ that she isn't a scammer though she surly appears like one.
Hi Everybody
I want to let all the women on this site and others to be aware of the danger these A..holes
can present if you start to mess with them. I have been warned by a guy who said if I mess with his "guys" at the "camp" he is coming after me.I intend to keep on hunting them down like the dogs they are. I am now getting strange emails that can only be from these scammers because of some facts in these emails that only they would know. If you have an idea to contact them or mess with them PLEASE PROTECT YOURSELF. Make sure your idenity is well hidden. This is a business to them and they will do anything to keep the money flowing.
Sock still stuck…..
Lena
Good old ferris marshal seems to be exceptionaly talented at crying and begging for money.!!! I had the dubious pleasure of being contacted by this idiot myself.
Hi Everyone
just wondering if you have heard of a guy called David Johnson
Gail
Chad your latest comments are not even worth commenting on ask CJ am I a scammer? he will inform you,,, Maybe I do have it BAD as you put it…. Cos maybe I have BEEN HURT and dont want others to lose what I lost…. so carry on as Donna said keeping your big GOB shut !!!
Not worth a comment……..yet you commented on it. LOVE IT!!!
If I knew what my GOB was, I might shut it but I have no clue. I like Donna. At least she was decent. You on the other hand…….
