He should be fired IMEDIATELY. Apparently he has spent more time bleaching his hair blonde than planning a strategic victory for Ansrica and prevent the horrific deaths of our beautiful young soldiers that lost their lives at his hands. FIRE him NOW and strip him of our taxpayer funded generous pension and benefits. Wake up America. Get rid I’d this fairy and his ilk🇺🇸🇺🇸

I’ve been texting someone that stated he was Gen Kenneth Mckenzie too. But I knew it couldn’t be him because he said he was a widower. I did some research on the real General Kenneth Mckenzie to find out more about his biography, he’s married to a lovely lady. I was curious and played along of awhile I would like to compare notes about the spammers with you. This poor man needs to be told how serious the problem is getting on his behavior. Hopefully he knows by now.

Seems like General mcKenzie tried to take alot of people on this trip. He said he was coming home to see me
yep. same here. blocked the scammer.
I also have been talking to someone claiming to be Kenneth McKenzie. Said he loved and wanted to marry me…oh boy
Someone must be using his profile to attract ladies on FaceBook. I was one of them. I got suspicious about this so-called Kenneth Frank McKenzie when he contacted me and was extremely forward, insisting on having a dialog even phoning me repeatedly through FB. I felt uneasy and unfriended him straight away. I am glad I found this site that confirms the doubts I had about this person.
Me too! Thinking how to reply, if I do!
Thank you so much . someone really tried to do this.using his information
Interesting. Just today, a Kenneth F McKenzie appeared on my Facebook and asked me to “friend” him. He said “God was probably showing off by creating such a Beautiful damsel like you, what a lovely profile, you look gorgeous. I must confess that your smile melt my heart. I will love to know you more and be friends if you don’t mind, kindly send me a friend request, if you don’t mind.” Thank You
And I answered “Even if I am 82?”
He replied: “Age is just a number, kindly send me a friend request lets get to know each other more better if you dont mind”
I have also friended this person. How can I blocked him he made me sign up for this spike app because he said more protective and I have felt uneasy this whole time. What do I do
I’m currently chatting with someone claiming to be Kenneth F McKenzie Jr .. said his wife died in a car accident, he has a daughter and a son .. that he’s currently in Iraq serving in the Peacekeeping Or Peacemaker corps what ever it may be ..
said he’ll be coming home at the end of the month and wants to marry me 😂😂😂
He said the same thing to me! I knew right away that he was a scammer so I’ve been playing along. I”m pretending to be interested in him. He wants to know lots of stuff about me but doesn’t want to answer questions about him. His english is really bad. He said his wife died and he has three kids. In reality his wife is alive and the have one son in the military. He wants to know if I’d be interested in marrying him! Calls me baby in our texts. I should ask him to video chat! I have not answered his calls and he wants to communicate in different forums, I said no we are on FB messenger and that works for me.
