Re: Find veterans name through photos?
Lanie Evans May 21, 2016 12:35 PM (in response to Elizabeth Doyle)Hard question . I'm not sure its possible. Are we talking about current veterans or long ago veterans? Do you believe the unit and division information is accurate? Can you share the unit and division and give us an idea of how and where the photos were used ?

Re: Find veterans name through photos?
Elizabeth Doyle May 22, 2016 2:45 PM (in response to Lanie Evans)I believe unit and division are accurate. The photos were stolen when the veteran was overseas. I was reading an article online in 2010 and the U.S. army division and unit, the veteran was apart was in Iraq training Iraqii soldier. Fast forward; just recently another veteran from that unit at that time recognized the veteran I am trying to get photos back to. I found him on LinkedIn.
He won't give out the veterans name which I totally understand, though he sent him a link to my profile.
So it's possible...very difficult though. You have to have photos that show some information to help with a timeline. Also divine intervention is most helpful!!!!

Re: Find veterans name through photos?
Elizabeth Doyle May 22, 2016 2:45 PM (in response to Elizabeth Doyle)Photos were used in a Nigerian Scam. This is fact. I even spoke to him on the phone. They put photos up of veterans or soilders on online dating websites, disabled veterans etc to eventually access money.
I already knew the fictious profile was fake, just didn't know who was behind it. Then I found out through a series of online hits it was a Nigerian Scam.
I I was able to get more photos from scammer as with just a little convincing I would send $. Sure enough over a year I accumulated more photos! I just want this veteran to have his photos back.
