Joel Lambert, an American actor and former Navy SEAL whose photos are stolen by scammers
Born on October 7, 1972, Joel Lambert comes from Olympia, in the United States. He grew up acting on stage and in commercials.
He then left everything to join the armed forces, serving as a Navy SEAL for ten years, with combat experience in places such as Kosovo and Afghanistan. Back home, he became a lead instructor at BUD/S, the selection school for future Navy SEALs.
A TV series made him known
He later got his own international TV show on Discovery Channel, “Lone Target” (also known as “Manhunt”), in which he tries to escape manhunts organized by law enforcement and military units around the world. He also shares photos on his Instagram account.
Scammers use his many photos to create fake profiles. Other soldiers and former soldiers have had their photos stolen as well, such as Jan A Man or Douglas Malcolm Fraser, and many unknown soldiers listed on the page Military men.
Once the profiles are created, the scammers seduce women on dating sites and end up asking them for money. It is only a romance scam: never send money to people you only know from the internet. More stolen faces: photos used by scammers.
