The New York Post just broke the story of a Facebook fraud (aka Dylan Sorvino) accused of using pictures of Sgt. Roberto Sanchez (pictured above) who was killed in Afghanistan in 2009, to seduce women he met online.
The real soldier`s comrades and women who experienced the ruse say the Internet lothario, who claims to be fictional New Yorker "Dylan Sorvino," hijacked the memorial photos of Sgt. Roberto Sanchez, a strikingly handsome 24-year- old US Army Ranger killed in combat in Afghanistan in 2009 after five tours of duty.
Sorvino posted the tragic photos of the square-jawed Special Forces soldier as his profile pictures on Facebook and then passed himself off to women he e-mailed as an all-American hero who grew up in the Big Apple, studied law and then enlisted in the Army to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Since being outed as a phony, Sorvino has deleted his Facebook profile.
Unfortunately, as Annie Karni points out, Sorvino may face no punishment for this horrible act. "The FBI is unlikely to launch an investigation if no financial losses resulted from the fraud, a spokesman told The Post."
