So this is either the same group/person (Obviously group since someone actually met and said there was a "friend") that has been kind of going around or is a new group. I don't know why people aren't getting red flags from these types of profiles. Their profile is to sell themselves.. THIS ONE USES TWENTY WORDS with literally zero breadth. It screams fake, why?! BE SAFE GUYS.
Look at the date created and the reviewer dates. Oh wow... as soon as he created his profile he had a review! Hmm, not odd at all. Oddly enough, when you notice these trends and people traveling together.. these reviewers tend to review the group members on the same date or within the week. Pay attention to that when a profile or two seem similar (grammar, lacking detail, limited words etc).
They want you to come to them at some obscure location/hotel, it's shady AF from everyone's perspective and almost every forum goer that has (almost) plunged on this has jetted because it felt super damn creepy. They are evolving I guess for two of you to just do it..
Also... The device in the photo. Look at woodworker's comment. Enough said.
When in doubt, REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH ON GOOGLE. Ask for the photos via the IM feature and go from there. If you don't know about this image search... Google it.
They were on a4a too btw if any of you use that. Be weary. I am trying to remember the past names to link you similar instances.
