I am being catfished right now!

to be honest OP I would ask him for a clear face photo, once he sends you said photo put it on facial recognition software (there's a couple free sites on the internet like pymeyes) and find who is the poor guy this idiot is passing as, then send him screen shots of the conversations and let him know a scammer is using his photos.

Someone came into our neighbourhood Facebook group one evening and said "This guy is chatting with me, do you think it might be a scam?". She posted a couple of screenshots and it was obviously catfishing. After about 20 people had told her that yes, it's definitely a scam, she said "Oh dear, another one. I fell for the same thing about 6 months ago and only found out he was a scammer when I'd already sent him money". Unreal.

The 'Keanu Reeves Is Not In Love With You' book is great - very funny and very sad, in turn. I really recommend it if any of you haven't already read it.

Tell him you murdered your ex and he's under the patio, alongside the others that did you wrong.

I see people here saying how do they fall for it. Well i seen people fall for it in person. Desperate and lonely.

Following with interest but am super tired! Fingers crossed there will be a wedding date tomorrow morning 💍 😆 🤣

Lol @ aunties head!

I've just listened to Love Bombed on BBC Sounds
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0f1rkfw

In episode 7 a reformed scammer talks about his work. (eps are very short)

So we should let these people go quickly so they can scam someone else?

People only want to talk about my car crash which is triggering for me as i died in it. When I tell them I should get a good pay out as I died, they get angry. No faith reaffirmed in humanity here either.

I’m a little sad as no one is in love with me. I only have problems with my Microsoft account. The callers are very helpful and all they want is my ip address. Some of them are quite sad when I tell them I run Linux, some of them don’t know what that is so I have to explain. They never fall in love with me, where am I going wrong?

His English makes me look on fire.

My friend had beautiful poetry sent to her from her oil rig owner and hands on engineer ( Mr. Shell, no doubt) for someone so good at engineering he couldn't string a sentence together.

Ask him to marry you..throw him off.

I think he got suspicious and hung up after I told him that auntie Mary’s head had fallen right off and never been found

Sending prayers for poor Auntie 🤣

How unoriginal of him!🤣

I howled with laughter at that one, I mean it's not funny that she was conned out of all that money but ffs that is insane!

Why are you engaging with this?

there’s a documentary series on Netflix about this male making fake accounts and stalking women and I can’t help but wonder why the victims engaged with it

for the lack of practice, we swipe under the carpets of our memories and of our hearts

I think they definitely need more practice 😂

‘Do you accept me as your husband’😂😂😂😂😂

I’m dying. This is so funny. “Can’t say I have”… 😂

I had one of those calls, I pretended to cry and begged them not to jail me as I had 10 kids to support and no money. Then I told them they were scammers and to go fuck themselves. Very enjoyable 5 minutes

A woman in my home country embezzled the equivalent of 300 000 pounds from the county where she was employed. She thought she was dating Mick Jagger... and Mick Jagger apparently needed to borrow money from her?

I’ve been testing chat gpt a lot for work and this sounds a lot like it was written by a bot 😂

I'm currently having a long conversation with Bill. I attended his funeral last year...

I had a 'Ukrainian soldier' try it on!!
We got chatting from a Ukrainian political page.. I was a bit depressed or wouldn't have accepted his request.
In fact he may well have been an actual Ukrainian soldier on the grift for some woman to send him parcels as at one point he even alluded to wanting parcels and sent very realistic selfies of but he went too far with the shallow flowery shite, especially on finding out I'm a care assistant.
I hate when men do that but don't even know me so I deleted and blocked him.

I know I can be vulnerable to some types of men seriously as I have MH problems.. luckily I'm really skint too haha. I need them to give me money!!

I get regular generic American / French silver fox military widower friend requests and always delete & block. Also random Nigerian guys.. but then I have actual Nigerian colleagues who are my Facebook friends so I guess their friends etc can see my profile.
One of my Nigerian friends hardly uses Facebook as she has so many hacking & scam attempt problems. Not saying all scammers are Nigerians but the probability is high.

Do it and report back 😂

I’m really invested in this thread now!
Ask him how quickly you can get married as your British visa is about to expire and you want to live in the USA. Say you won’t be allowed to get benefits there but you are sure that he will support you financially until then - because your love/friendship is for life….
