[QUOTE]A mother and daughter who used an internet dating scam to steal $1.1m (£700,000) have been jailed for a total of 27 years.

Denver-based Karen Vasseur, 63, and daughter Tracy, 42, tricked victims into thinking they were talking to US service personnel looking for love.

The prolific scammers duped 374 victims in the US and 40 other countries.

"Not only did this mother-daughter duo break the law, they broke hearts worldwide," police said.[/QUOTE]

Thread title seems wrong to me. You made it seem that military personnel were getting scammed. They weren't scamming money from "lonely US service personnel", they got other people to think THEY(scammers) were in the military and needed money.

I'd like to know whether or not they were hit in the face with a grenade blast before their pictures were taken.

The mother looks surprisingly happy.
At least I hope that's the mother.

Is this a new in thing or something? My grandmother just nearly got scammed by some guy impersonating someone in the Air Force. The guy really fucked up though by adding my mom on Facebook since my mom grew up on various air force bases and immediately picked up on the fact the guy was lazily googling shit to try and impress her into believing him.

Shit, even the drones are flying away in fear.

People like that are super-easy to spot by anyone in the service, from the service, or grew up around the service.
