Reports :

A profile using the name Harry Scott reportedly claimed to belong to a U.S. Marine from Houston, Texas. The military background may have been used to create an image of trustworthiness and responsibility. The account may build a romantic connection through regular messages and future plans. When duplicate photographs were discovered online, the person allegedly claimed that other people had stolen his images. That explanation can be used to neutralize suspicion and prevent the victim from ending contact. The scammer may continue promising a future meeting or relationship while maintaining the military story. Once trust is strong enough, financial emergencies or travel problems may be introduced. The victim may be asked for money while being assured it will be repaid.
