Can't say Spidey senses weren't tingling when she started the convo like that 😭

Expect a message real soon from “Eduardo” from the Sinoloa Cartel to send his “regards” about your family and location whatnot

If only 3-5 pictures and moderately sketchy, it's a left swipe. It'll save you from a ton of these accounts. Also look for a bio that has substance. If no good bio, or not enough pics, don't even waste your time. Bot/scam accounts are crazy but they're pretty easy to spot.

Ohh yeah I've been on the app long enough to mostly spot these. This one looked legit tho, had a long bio, with almost every category filled and well it was verified too lol

Coulda been a real account that got phished. That’s how the Uber scams work too.

NGL I had to look before I clicked to make sure OP wasn't the dude with all the anime tiddies and "only wanting women for sex" on his profile 💀

Change of subject but I wouldn't open conversation like that fyi

Yeah I used to over think my responses but I kinda don't care anymore since that's not really me and I would stress about my messages too much so now I just send whatever I think at the moment. If someone finds that boring so be it, they can unmatch and move on 🤷♂️
Edit: I don't say anything inappropriate when said "whatever I think at the moment"

It's not really coming off as "boring" that's the issue in this case, it's more that coming off as self-deprecating, even mildly, is pretty much always going to be a turnoff.
You're right that you shouldn't overthink it but I'd avoid things like "never had this happen so early" even if it's true. Phrases like that just don't do anything positive for you

Yeah I 100% get that but like she texted legit 5 seconds after I matched with her so I was trying to refer to that but I can definitely see how I probably could've worded it better

u/broncyobo 14h ago
Oh yeah in that case makes more sense. Also makes it very unsurprising she turned out to be a scam lol

Any time they hit me with that intro I know they're fake. Come at me properly.

I may or may not have been involved in doing something like this for like 3 months due to a fractured spine and no source of income. It is crazyyyy easy to set up a decent looking account if your native language is English. The money grab looks like the most embarrassing part on the perpetrator side
