Message telling me, my partner is cheating!

[Loopy2020]

Last Thursday I received a request on FB messenger, from nobody I recognised. I accepted and the message popped up saying “your boyfriend is cheating on you, just like he did Don, nothing changes with that one”
has anyone else had something similar? Trying to make sense of it!
partner denies it and tbh, I’ve never questioned his loyalty! Just can’t shake the feeling what if…???
help!

There used to be loads of this going about...when you respond they'll give you a link to images of "proof" etc that will install malicious software or similar.

Does the account look legitimate? Posts and friends list etc? Tbh I wouldn't worry about it.

just like he did Don
Is this his ex?

If it's genuine, I would expect the person who sent it to have friends in common with you/ your partner - otherwise how would they know? Is this the case?

A lot would depend on if Don is a typo or someone relevant in this

Scam or someone stirring

Why do you accept friend requests from unknowns? 🤔

A request isn’t the same as someone messaging you you are friends with

It is a scam. Pay no attention to it.
If it was true, they would offer some evidence.

Who is Don? Seems quite specific.

If there is a clear link to that name I’d question more. No link… a scam.

I think that's a scam, if it was real, at the very least they'd have mentioned boyfriend's name.

The amount of woman on here that have been cheated on without ever suspecting makes me think men are capable of anything.
I wouldn’t immediately jump to it being true but I wouldn’t discard it as a scam either.

Yeah, people quite frequently recommend contacting the cheated-on partner anonymously.

So, could be a scam, could be someone taking advice from Mumsnet 😂

No friends, no posts

@GoldCat255 i did ask for proof or names and they blocked me

@BabyCloud having been cheated on during my 16 year marriage, I’m a little sensitive to this type of thing, thanks for your reply.

@CeffylCoch thanks for your reply. She was his ex yes

@Elasticatedtrousers yes she is his ex, I asked her and she denied it and said she hasn’t seen him in years

@MarkingBad i think it’s stirring but it’s just made me wobble, if that makes sense? Thank you

Did he cheat on Don or alternatively is she a “psycho” ex who alienated him away from his kids? All of the above are red flags for me cheating and “psycho” exs.

If the person has correctly identified his ex than it’s not a random hacker.

@Blairsnitchproject i messaged her and she said it was amicable just like he told me?!

@Radiolala yes you’re right, someone knows him in some capacity for sure. Thank you

I agree, if someone knows his ex's name then it's not some random scammer. Interesting that his ex says everything was amicable though

Maybe he did cheat but she doesn’t want to be involved in another drama about her ex, take this information or leave it, something is obviously going on
