Update I've been fooled!!!😭😭😭
So for those who haven't seen my original post I've been talking to what I thought was a "woman".Let me begin it all started on FB when I got a friend request.Me being the naturally friendly person I am I accepted it From then on I get a message on messenger saying that "she's" a military woman and came across my profile and loved it and me.Thankfully I wasn't scammed out of money because I'm unemployed.But instead out of valuable information.That information being pay pal,cash app,email,and bank login.To clarify I gave out the information because I thought I could trust that person I was wrong.In addition to that they gave me what I thought was their bank info.I became suspicious after that.After I stupidly gave the information out I became very suspicious why would a drop dead gorgeous woman like me.So I did what people do naturally reverse image,email,and number search.Nothing conclusive came up so I kept trying.I got a hit on the phone number saying it was a landline or belonged to someone named Darby Thomas.The reverse image searches were tricky I couldn't find anything until one day I searched a photo and found post on x.That post said that the person in the photo was a scammer.I confronted them about it and they pulled a typical scamner move turn you into the bad guy.I swear I swear I should've seen the signs parents died in a horrific way while they were young,has a child living with a relative,always checking if I ate yet,and of course love bombing.I guess that's what I get for being naive and friendly I should tell you I'm a hopeless romantic type of person.I got sick of tired of not really knowing if they were a scammer so I got in touch with scam investigating specialists.The first one I got in touch with said I didn't have a case because no money or sexual pics were involved.So I did a search online and found scam haters united.I originally found their website but instead contacted them through their *** page.And with their help I found out the phone number and enail given to me were fake.They also found the scammers YT channel.Well now I have learned the dangers of being too nice and trusting online.I will now be more vigilant and cautious online but wont let this experience make me feel down.Its only a matter how you take this experience.And I always say that you live and you learn.
@Shortasiankid
There is alot of scammers out there and you learned a valuable lesson hopefully you changes or deleted any items you shared with them. I know it sounds cold but we do not always see or stop when small red flags are there... it is interesting there is a group that hunts these scammers and sharing information with others .... to hopefully expose this person from going after someone else.
@toughTiger6481 I see and know the signs now of a scammer.Since this post I have reported the scammer to the ftc after reverse number searching their actual phone number.I doubt they'll actually do anything since I didn't lose money but used as a money mule instead.Thank you for your words and I will definitely be more careful on the internet.
@toughTiger6481 I forgot to mention I deleted my previous bank account,pay pal,and cash app.I also locked them out of my email by changing my password.
