Nothing this exciting ever happens to me. My response was driven purely by jealousy.Ok, I wasn’t familiar with this particular scam, that’s why I asked. Thought the community here would be able to provide some insight. Thank you.
To those who just feel like making me feel stupid, well done. I’ve learned my lesson.

True story: a former co-worker went to see Donny and Marie Osmond perform in Las Vegas years ago. He had a childhood crush on Marie and bought the VIP package to meet the stars backstage after the show. He and Donny hit it off, so he told Donny about Marie being his childhood crush. Donny suggested “you should ask her on a date.” So he did (!!) and she said yes (!!).Stuff like that happens all the time. Taylor Swift texted me by mistake once and we're best friends now.

I don't know if this is a yes or noIf bored is it wrong to mess with these pig butchers.
As Dr. Octopus mentioned, I also saw an investigative report on these scams where the scammers are themselves captives to varying degrees.
She has a great crypto opportunity for you
You had the sense to ask. Many don't with some truly horrible results. I would count this as a win.Thank you Joe.Ok, I wasn’t familiar with this particular scam, that’s why I asked. Thought the community here would be able to provide some insight. Thank you.
To those who just felt like making me feel stupid, well done. I’ve learned my lesson.
It is better to be safe than sorry.
100%. Always best to ask. Ignore the posters trying to make you feel stupid.
You can get rid of this thread. I have the useful input I asked for. Should’ve expected the rest.
Its that common? Well now I just feel left outEvery guy on this board has probably gotten something similar to this
It's like when the carpet cleaner cult wouldn't recruit georgeIts that common? Well now I just feel left outEvery guy on this board has probably gotten something similar to this
I was thinking I was left out too. Then remembered that I got a text a couple of weeks ago that said “Hey Karen - Where do you want to meet up for lunch today?” Which I did not respond to. And some text a week or two before that that said “Hey Diana - Your dress is ready for pickup.” And I see more instances like that in my texts.Its that common? Well now I just feel left outEvery guy on this board has probably gotten something similar to this
100%. Have had a few of these. I replied “wrong number” once and immediately had the person texting me back multiple times trying to engage. “Oh thank you so much, you seem like a really nice person”. “How’s your day going”. Etc etc. Knew immediately someone was out fishing. Blocked the number immediately. As I did the next time it happened. It’s a common scam.Yes.This could be a really cool person that I met through serendipity, which would be pretty awesome, but there are a few red flags.
So I got a wrong number text from a girl who was trying to get ahold of her friend to meet for lunch.
I was a little miffed it took such a long time for me to get an African Prince email. I was a little bummed out, like the scammers thought I was too poor to be worth the effort or something.Should I be offended that I've never been catfished? Am I not good enough?
I have been threatened and told there are videos of me, um... pleasuring myself. But no one has tried to romance me.
It does make you wonder what you are doing wrong. We all want to sit at the trendy table.I was a little miffed it took such a long time for me to get an African Prince email.

Hang in there, your time will come.
Might just want to compare roosters.Quite sure "she" is longing to see his rooster. For blackmailing purposes.Send her your best fantasy football rooster and report back on her views about VBD. TIA![]()
I've gotten a few of these. I always just respond with "Even Gronk know that not real money."She has a great crypto opportunity for you
The one I played with told me she had made her money in real estate investing. Every time "she" tried to tell me she could get me in on it, I started trying to sell her on my stock investing tips.
Yeah he did some videochats and sent some nudes. Got blackmailed (and considered paying it).What happened to the dude who was being blackmailed? Sent a pic or something?
I think I was invited to that too!Lolz I literally got this scam text earlier today. Except it was a Liz and Bella. She then invited me to a BBQ.

Anyway, he dated Marie Osmond for a short while, I think while she was separated or getting divorced. Fast forward, they are still friends, but more oddly he and Donny Osmond are now very close personal friends.
So you never know…..
so, how was the bbq?Lolz I literally got this scam text earlier today. Except it was a Liz and Bella. She then invited me to a BBQ.
Good. Grilled catfish.so, how was the bbq?Lolz I literally got this scam text earlier today. Except it was a Liz and Bella. She then invited me to a BBQ.
Anyone who sends a text “by mistake “ is a scamThis could be a really cool person that I met through serendipity, which would be pretty awesome, but there are a few red flags.
So I got a wrong number text from a girl who was trying to get ahold of her friend to meet for lunch. I messed with her a little bit at first, pretending to be that friend. She wanted to meet me/her at a place called Yeganey Bakery in San Jose, CA. Apparently, she thought she was texting ‘Nikky.’ But she was on her work phone, so had to type in the phone number manually and made a mistake. I told her I was in Tennessee at the moment and would need a plane ticket to get there on time. I owned up to pulling her chain, and ultimately, she thought the situation was hilarious.
Here is what I have been told at this point:
-Her name is Rebecca Chen, but she goes by Sophie.
-Her phone number has no hits on Google.
-She is the one who keeps the conversation going, even if I don’t respond for awhile.
-She was born in Singapore, grew up in LA, and moved to San Jose after her divorce. She is now a freelance fashion designer who has her own garment shop.
-She is 35 years old (I am in my late 40s) and said that I am handsome. I don’t consider that the case, but she is basing this on a photo where I look alright and am posed with my 11-year-old kid. Stupid, I know I shouldn’t have done that.
-I mentioned wanting to see the Winchester Mystery House (a tourist attraction in San Jose), and she said it was really cool. She also said she has been watching The Bear, though it has made her stress eat.
-Her English is fine, other than a few careless texting typos, but she tends to repeat everything I say in her responses. Things like, if I say “I enjoy X, because of Y” she responds, “I think it’s cool that you like X because of Y. I think Y is important, especially because Z.”
-She has told me a bit about her family, but nothing specific, other than that she has a cousin named Halima Chen, who she named dropped as if I might know who that is.
-She sent me a photo which looks a tad catfishy.
-She wants to video call me tomorrow.

I’m not asking for an *** penny, so save it. It could be that I’m talking to a somewhat naïve, but legit person, or I could be wasting my time. Finances have not come up. What do you people think?
But anybody who responds in kind with a request for an *** penny, is legit.Anyone who sends a text “by mistake “ is a scamThis could be a really cool person that I met through serendipity, which would be pretty awesome, but there are a few red flags.
