The other day we talked about Patrick Flores<\/a> who was hiding in my “friends” list on Facebook. Well, here’s another one that I was warned about by alert friends. He was using the name Kage Gaigan, but his actual name was Mark Menting. The folks at Military Phonies<\/a> did the research after I confronted him;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

After that PM with him, Menting unfriended me and later denied that he did that. You know, brave soul that he is.<\/p>\n

Here’s what he claimed;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Menting sent me tips on phonies and busted a few himself;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Well, like all phonies, he was eventually busted and even his confession was bogus;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The Army says that he spent six months in training and the rest of his time was spent in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) 1984 – 1990, discharged as a Private (E-2).<\/p>\n

So, how did he fool me? Because we all want to believe these clowns, we don’t want to file for FOIAs on everyone we know. And, honestly, I don’t know many of the hundreds of friends I have on Facebook. Luckily, some of my friends are more vigilant than I am, and they look out for me.<\/p>\n

By the way, Menting’s biggest defender during the investigation was John Naputi<\/a>, another phony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
