Does it cost a US army soldier anything to take leave while deployed?
Let me guess: You, or someone close to you, is romantically engaged with someone who contacted you/your friend online. This person is claiming to be serving with the US Army somewhere, and wants to go on leave to visit you/your friend, but need you to cover costs associated with getting leave, possibly also travel costs back to the normal world. Youve never actually met this guy face to face, but you may have spoken on the phone. Did he perhaps already ask you to cover phone/Internet costs from where he is deployed? Sorry to have break this to you, but its a scam. Leave processing is free. Paperwork associated with military travel is free. Travel to and from deployment areas is also free. This is sadly a scam that is becoming all to common.
