A few days ago I started to chat with this guy on Grindr. The usual exchange of pics (very hot guy, my type!), agreement of what we are into, and decision to meet soon at this place. I felt him slightly too insistent in meeting asap but hey, that's pretty normal on Grindr.
Eventually we agreed on a time yesterday afternoon, he gives me his address (35 minutes by car) and I leave home excited and horny. I let him know that I am 10 minutes from his home and he sends me a pic of a young boy playing a videogame at the computer telling me that he just dropped his son at his neighbors to play, so we will be alone and ready to go for a couple of hours. He had not told me he had a son which it would have not been important at all per se, but I found quite creepy that he would leave him with neighbors just to fuck with a total stranger, and even creepier that he would send me a pic of him. Of course I smelled something fishy but not sure what yet. Five minutes later he sends me a message saying that he was so pissed because the card he used for his son to play games wasn't working, and he kindly asked me to pass by a CVS to buy a specific $100 game card and that he would reimburse me immediately as soon as I arrived at his place....🙄
Useless to say that I texted him to go and fuck "himself" , I blocked "him", turned the car and drove back home, feeling really like an idiot, but also glad that I am aware of these scams. 🤷♂️
