[@telengardforever7783]

@@shaithaimassage I was just lucky because my thing is that I would have to meet a woman in person within a few days of first contact -- not the months and years that scammers want you to wait. But what I noticed is that nearly 80% of the women I ran into were all "traveling on business" even though they said they lived in my hometown. What was really funny and totally made it clear it's all a scam was one woman tried to talk investments with me on Tinder! Tinder of all places!! That's when I knew it was all a BS scamming game. One thing that I found interesting is that pig butchering scams always starts off with pics of Asian models. The standard romance scam is just any porn model the scammers can get ahold of. But what breaks them all is a simple request for a video chat. Here's the thing: Romance scams are usually done by males, so it's hard for them to scam other men since replicating the female voice is too difficult.

[@shaithaimassage]

Call it lucky if you like, but you had a boundary and you respected it. Is interested as you were, you made sure you'd at least meet the person once before trusting someone, as intriguing as it seemed. That was my biggest mistake! I applaud you for your choices and I'm glad it saved you.

We need to stop using "met" and "relationship" for people we've never actually met in person. No in-person meeting = no meeting. No in-person relationship = no relationship. We need to establish this as a foundation. Romance scammers parasite from people with weak principles, boundaries and definitions.

[@dreamzofhorses]

Maybe they get to people who are very lonely and wanting a relationship? Or they pretend to have an opportunity to make money and the person is in financial need? It’s not appropriate to shift the blame to the victims which people only do to feel a sense of superiority above others and to convince themselves this could never happen to them. Good for them but it’s not accurate and misplaces where the blame belongs. Even if they don’t have strong principles, boundaries and definitions for some reason we would have no clue about doesn’t make them the bad person in the scenario. It’s the scammer thief liar who is the bad person taking advantage of someone’s vulnerabilities. I agree we shouldn’t call an online never met person or even a scammy IRL a person, gold digging, scamming assholes have been around long before the internet. This isn’t new and there are always victims who will fall for it for their individual reasons. But dissing the victim is pretty bad behavior in and of itself, and doesn’t make you better than anyone else.

[@user-mw9yh4cu2i]

I'm so sorry you went through this. I met an Asian (Chinese) woman online and we developed a very nice friendship. I was much older than her so our intention were platonic. We exchanged life stories, pictures, we encouraged each other through day to day trials. It took many weeks before "money" even came up. She explained to me exactly what you described and shared her success with short-term crypto investing. She wanted to teach me and she was a well spoken teacher. But I explained to her that a year earlier I had a bad experience losing small amount of money trusting a woman on-line and I now had a principle that I would not send any money. I said I would have to come & meet her and see this in person. Over a few weeks of trying to change my mind she stopped communicating. I actually missed her because we'd communicated so much. But I would not & could not violate that principle I had put in place a year earlier.

I hope you won't think me a Pollyanna, but this might offer you some comfort: I in no way wish to downplay the devastating sense of loss and betrayal you must have experienced, but I have come across several people who at some point in their lives lost pretty much everything. My own late parents were holocaust surviving refugees and I know a family who were driven off their land in Zimbabwe and were forced to flee for their lives with nothing to the UK. I noticed in these people an extraordinary ability to savour the here-and-now. A cup of tea on a sunny balcony for them was as good as any beach-holiday in the Bahamas. They discovered that tiny pleasures and joys in the present were worth far more than potential future bonanzas. My late dad's catch-all maxim seemed to be: "Once you've lost everything you own, the smallest pleasures and the tiniest acts of kindness suddenly mean the world to you." I'm happy to say he led a long and happy life.

[@Jez2008UK]

That's the same as me, I lost everything (well didn't 'lose' it, more I expended it all and found God) - I've never been happier, and more grateful, more present, fearless, non-worrying. Sometimes we need to lose all those layers to find the real you. If I were this person I'd just look forward to the version he now wants to be (in the future) and focus on that. I know that's incredibly easy to say, and it's something I'm now trying to do, but he needs to let go of that past. Be present, and I'm quietly confident that he'll make a lot more than he lost and will look back on this as some kind of blessing. Meanwhile he has helped others by sharing his story.

Thanks for sharing. A couple things to note. If someone is wealthy they are not interested meeting strangers and giving their business plans away freely. Also, never trust someone you’ve never met and have no shared experience with. Next, There’s no proof it’s a she. It’s a business organization that preys on compassion/ naïveté.

They fall for them because they’re desperate.

[@Ayesha_5782]

Loneliness and desperation for a connection can blind you to obvious/minor red flags. I didn't and would've never sent this person or possibly people any money, but I wasted 4 months being emotionally attached to a random person I had never seen or heard. At first, I thought they were a catfish because of his limited online presence and the lack of me ever seeing him or hearing his voice. This caused suspicions and arguments about him being a catfish. It wasn't until the last week of us talking, that was the first time he hinted at money and said, "Let's not fight through a keyboard, buy me a ticket, I'll come there and we'll fight in person." That's when all of the alarm bells started going off in my head, and I realized some minor red flags throughout our 4 month interaction. A lot of these scammers will play the long game, build up a friendship, etc, over weeks, months, or even years before they hint at or outright ask for you to do something financially for them. Scammers like that are usually smart, strategic, and patient at their con/scam. My experience taught me about long con scammers, I always assumed most scams were short cons where, within the first or few messages, it would be very obvious it was a scam, and I'd spot them easily.

First huge red flag was that ”she” (probably a ”he” scammer) had excuses for not accepting a video conversation (not even a voice conversation). That means that the person don’t want to be seen on WhatsApp video, Skype or Zoom. Because on the other side is probably someone else than on the photos in the profile, most probably a man in Nigeria, Ghana or Russia.

[@dogger37JC]

No this particular scam is based from China or Hong Kong typically. It’s run by organized crime groups. They usually hire women to do this and often it is their real pictures but not always. Sometimes they will do voice or video calls. They usually use WhatsApp, WeChat, Telegram, or Line. The first red flag I can give to anyone is when they tell you that they do investments or crypto. Block them as soon as they tell you that. It’s usually early in the conversation.
