I had this person, presenting as female on FB. I checked out her page and she's following lots of people but has no posts of her own. I didn't stay up long after accepting her.
So just before noon my time I get this:
Hello.how are you? I hope you're doing well and enjoying life.Just checking if you are keeping safe and stay healthy.Blessing to you and stay safe.God Bless??
Does this sound like someone who's not trying to 'butter up' a mark?
Well, I have had a very bad weekend... so I unloaded this on her:
"thank you...
but enjoying life would mean not having pain and... I have a lot of pain
and my car broke down and who knows how much that is going to cost!
And I can't get to the credit union to get more money out"
If she's one of those money scammers I'm not sure she's going to try with my litany of sorrow. But I'm keeping an eye on her.
So far, she hasn't written back! meanwhile, I may go back to bed for a bit

Sounds like a scam. If you complain abut how broke you are, they'll find someone else.

@kaylachan yeah, but it is hard to do when the person is already suspicious of anyone like that

@ElicBxn Yeah, probably a romance scam. Those take time. the fisher tries to win your trust. That might mean spending a little money to help you out, or try to get you to hand over your information so she could bleed you dry.

Bed's always a good answer. Hope the pain lessens soon.

I do, but I'm not sure how much they are going to cover of my 16 year old car. Yes FB is Facebook, but sometimes myLot doesn't like mentions of the competition... like FB doesn't pay, it isn't competition... and she sent the request. I almost never request new friends unless I know them from other places.
