YOU GUYS ARE GETTING TROLLED, AGAIN

 

I don't usually care about getting trolled in these cases. The poster may be fucking with us but the question and concerns are legit. If anything, there are dozens of lurkers on here who read this post and are in the exact same situation and the advice we all have posted help someone else. That's why I love these forums.

agree.  the trolling will always happen.  even tho the scenarios are far-fetched, it can bring useful dialogue.

the difference here is there are 3 or 4 them simultaneously posting - and that’s unusual. it makes me wonder what the endgame is ?

a lot  of online fraud occurs when people present as victims, build trust & sympathy - then start asking for things in DMs; the “victim” becomes the perpetrator.

Advice is usually free and frequently untaken.  Once cash comes into play, most people begin to see the end game.  No harm in warning people about scams but as long as all they are asking for I advice, I don't mind participating.  Curious bye nature, sorry if I mistook your post as advising him to be absolutely sure.

the scam isn’t for cash, at first.  usually they are looking for information & personal details - frequently they want to move conversations offline to WhatsApp or similar.  Once they have a real phone number, you’re totally fucked.  
This happens all the time - more common on hookup apps where there is more information exchanged.
Someone presenting a harmed victim seeking sympathy is the oldest trick in the book. Conman 101 

you guys are way too gullible & naive - albeit well intentioned.

I suppose it is suprising that I am not walking around naked in a barrel held up by suspenders.

You’ve just earned your own wink.
