A Gmail scammer tried to impersonate a four-star US Army general to catfish a married woman

Gmail users posing as US Army Gen. Paul Nakasone, chief of US Cyber Command chief the National Security Agency, sent flirty messages to women, according to a CyberScoop report.
The actual Nakasone is married with children, a family that he affectionately calls "Team Nakasone."
Catfishing attempts from people posing as US military service members are not unheard of, but it is still unusual for someone to impersonate a four-star general still in the military.
When CyberScoop and the woman confronted the account, they received an unlikely response: "I am sending my troops to get you, I will also make a contact for the FBI to get you."
