LMAO
Well, it was only a matter of time till the bot got to me!
I had forgotten those were a thing ever since I got off Tinder. Luckily I’ve always been too cynical to believe unsolicited messages from women lol
HELP EVERYONE!
I GOT FOUR MESSAGES FROM THIS TYPE OF BOT AND I’M ACTUALLY SCARED!!!
p.s.: I’m a m*nor
What I dont understand is what is the purpose?
Creating a fake relationship and then extracting money from people for example by getting them to invest money into fake crypto trading places.
Yes, its mostly older people that are alone that fall for this type of scam.
My sister-in-law works for a bank and she had a 70yo customer that sent multiple thousands of euros to a guy she has never met. They told her its a scam, but she insisted to send the money anyways. Her family had to watch her sending away all of her life savings.
Yes. People get scammed for millions this way.
A newer scam does an end-around the normal sniff tests. They don’t ask you to give htem money, they strike up a pretty genuine friendship, they have details that check out, so it feels like you’ve just made an actual friend. They’ll talk to you for months. And then they’ll mention that they’ve been making a lot of money on this cool new investment. Well you want to make a lot of money on an investment too, so you ask how, and they tell you how to download an app from the app store, which is supposed to be a safe place, and walk you through “investing” money in some crypto or whatever. Which of course is the payout.
