A:
It sounds like you've been through a difficult situation, and it’s important to take steps to protect yourself. If you believe you’ve been scammed by someone posing as a member of the military, it’s critical to gather all the evidence you can, including records of your communications, any financial transactions, and details of her supposed military service. This will be crucial for your case.
You may want to reach out to a lawyer experienced in fraud or military law, as they can guide you on the next steps and help determine whether there is legal recourse for the money you've sent. It can be challenging to pursue these kinds of cases, but legal advice will help clarify your options and whether law enforcement should be involved.
Don’t delay in seeking legal advice, as it’s important to act quickly. Scams involving fake military personnel are unfortunately common, and having someone with legal knowledge review your situation can provide clarity on how to move forward.
