We are aware that fraudulent satellite phone and Internet offers are being transmitted via Internet by people claiming to be employees or representatives of TS2.
The scam goes like this – a woman usually receives information in email that can be online with husband or family in Iraq or Afghanistan via satellite connection. All she needs to do is only pay some amount for private persons in Canada, U.S., Nigeria, mostly via Western Union or credit card.
Stop right there!
Please be advised that these communications are FRAUDULENT and are NOT sent from anyone within or affiliated with TS2. These messages are a scam and should be treated as such. We use only company bank accounts and email addresses from domains @ts2.pl and @support.ts2.pl .
If you receive such a message, you are advised to contact your local law enforcement agency and provide any details you may have. You also may forward the messages to TS2.
Let us know if you are interested in hearing about our real offer of satellite phones and Internet access for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Scam Warnings
I would like to establish telephone connectivity with a military personnel in Afghanistan. I was given an e-mail address by military personnel to request this service. Those people represent themselves as being with TS2 and requested me to send them $300 via Western Union. I did that and found out they are FRAUDULENT. The Western Union was sent to Noralee Peterson Stuart Iowa US. I went to your website and saw your warning. Thank you for that and wish I had checked you out before.
TS2.services@gmail.com I wanted to know it the information was in fact legitimate. There is a fee of $325.00 us to set up a call connection between myself and a friend in Iraq.

I have been chatting with a Sgt. Genthe Epperson stationed in Baghdad, Iraq. He suggested I contact this email address..... ts2.services2@gmail.com..... to set up being able to chat with him via satellite phone. Now it looks to me like I am being scammed. An address similar came up in your letters of scammers. It does not have a space in between services and the number 2 like in your in your scammer letter but everything else in the same. I have told him that I will not pay anything to talk to him. So I am not out any money. Can you please advise me if this is legit or not. I have sent an attachment of all communication with them.
I believe I was a victim of a scam. I met a man who claimed to be a soldier in the United States Army National Guard who asked me to contact the following email address to request a vsat phone so we could talk.
The email address he gave me is: ts2satelliteprovider@usa.com
I was asked to send $555 via Western Union to Dai Hoang Falls Church, VA 22042
He said his name is Staff Sgt Michael William Sickman
Stationed in Sudan
He supposedly got the phone on 9/13/2010 and he actually called me, but of course I dont' know if that is the phone from your company. Do you have a record of this transaction?
I will forward you all the emails supposedly from this company and maybe you can investigate so that others will not fall prey to this scam.

I was requested by an army senior engineer ranking E5

Free unlimited calls for Military Personnel after the (250 Euro) or its equivalent in other currency registration and installation fee(s) have been remitted by you. He says I have to pay for the services. Is this true? And how do I transfer money to the U.K from my bank in order for Michael Greenwood to get the radio phone?
I have a friend in the USA
Military who wants me to get the TS2 so he can call me.
He says it's a Military Call Line which costs $300.00 US Dollars for 10
days. Is this correct?
He told me that if I get this, that I am the only person he can call with
it. Is this true?
He says we can use it for 10 days and they do not have to be consecutive.
That we can call twice a week to make it last longer. Is this true?
I would like more information on this please.
I really do not understand any of it and need more information before I
spend any money on it.
Please answer my questions and send any information you can and advise me

Have just been doing some research into phoning US military out in Afghanistan, following a request from a guy who claims to be in the US military, going by the name of Major Kelvin Ramos.
I suspected him to be a scammer from the very onset of our communications, having just completed dealings with one the previous evening!!! they are so predictable!!
Anyway, as predicted, he has claimed undying love and said that we need to speak on the phone. He told me that I would need to get this authorised and sent me an email address. I contacted this and as expected a form came through, like the one I had received a couple of nights previously, asking for money. Needless to say I hasve not paid out any money, neither will I be doing so.
Thank you for your article on scammers on your website, this was extremely helpful when doing some research into this matter. I will forward the email that I received from them to you. Could you please confirm that this is indeed a scam? Thank you for your time and help.
Hi I have been talking to a man that says he is a SGT
i the US ARMY based in Mosul, after some time of chatting he talked me into
paying for a satelite phone that he stated we needed to make contact. I
have paid a certain amount of money but then stopped and thought about it
and now contacting you, I have been sending money to an Name: Adraine
Harris Denise
City: Gulfport
State: Mississippi
Country: USA
Zip code....39503
I was told via email this apparent SGT is based at E21 Camp Victory Mosul,
Iraq, on looking through this site I could not find this camp. The Sgts
name is Billy Harry James Chambers.
I ask that you be able to tell me if this information is all correct or
fraudulant.
I have been chatting over the internet to a guy who says he is in the US army, he seem genuine enough but he has asked me to contact ts2 to make it easier for us to speak as he is not allowed to use the internet where he is in Iraq.
I had to email the following address:
contactts2@representative.com
and they would be able to connect me for a returnable deposit of £341.00. They sent me an email in reply asking for my details as well as his. The email looked genuine having ts2 logo on it and loads of information regarding the service. But I have not replied yet as I needed to know that it was genuine.
Is it okay to proceed or is it in fact a scam?
I know this may be a far fetch inquiry but I do not want to fall to a scammer. I have met a man online saying he is with the US Army stationed in Iraq. He had indicated that I contact TS2 to request satellite telephone service and a fee would be attached to the service but then we would talk free of charge when it is best for him.
I was sent this email for a contact in Iraq and he
told me to send this and get some info from you guys. ts2pl@usa.com.
I don't know what it's about but he is trying to get this set up so we can
talk on the phone because they now have satellite communications in Iraq at
his camp. I don't know. I was just told to send this email to you guys.
Dear Sirs, someone give me this email address :
ts2service 2@gmail.com
and ask me to subscribe to your seivice by remitting via Western Union to a
person name Adebayo Akinlabi Tomide in Moscow Russia for unlimited call
service to Iraq. Do you hv such representative ?
I suspect is a scam, please let me know. Thank you
i have someone posing as a military officer in the us
army trying to tell me i must subscribe to your services via another email
address at ts2phone.connections@yahoo .com
could you please tell me if this is a scam address, as they want money sent
to them using your name
I was given your information from a doctor who is
stationed in Afghanistan, regarding getting a phone set up that we can use
to stay in contact. I have been emailing ts2armies_00@consultant.com. I am
not sure if this is a scam as they have asked for £196 to sent to a
Western Union account, and looking at your site there is no mention of
Western Union or private individuals being able to pay for telephone
service for army personnel. Would you be so kind as to confirm if the above
email address is anything to do with your company and if you offer this
service that is being described.
I am just writing to you to inform you that there is a man impersonating a Sergeant in the US Army, trying to get women to send him $650.00 He copies your photograph in the registration form. The name on the IP is Enyi Abajue 41.190.2.37 Nigeria.
I reported it to the authorities, but they take little interest, it is a shame, I guess there are so many of these scamsters and they are difficult to catch.
I have been in contact with a civillian man in Kabul Afghanistan. He gave me an e.mail address ts2armypl@financier.com to set up a telephone link with him. I have declined to do this because of the cost. Can you please advise me if this is a scam.
I had written an email to the following address ts2server@mail2army.com to
request permission to have phone services provided between myself and my
friend currently serving in Iraq. This is the response, in part, I
received:

with someone who is supposed to be a Marine stationed in Iraq. I believe

not. This is the email address I sent inquiries to:ts2engineering
