Hog Fattening

[BourbonRocks]

Mongers lend me your ears. Not related to the hobby but a scam is going around. It is an interesting trip so far for me. In short scammers are befriended Americans on most media sites. They will flirt and talk about a real connection. They will then show us how to make a quick fortune in the crypto world. They are playing on our emotions and greed.

One hook is they are Russian American and their uncle is able to work the market in fast transactions.

They build our confidence and emotional bond and suddenly everything is gone.

Be safe and if they seem way too good to be true, we'll.

I even had a video call but too many red flags.

A tip if they send pics try an image search and see if things come back.

A tip if they send pics try an image search and see if things come back.The thing to ask yourself is why in the world is a complete stranger that is attractive (or in most cases a fucking hottie) befriending you? Are you super rich and show it? Do you look like Brad Pitt or George Clooney? Did you just win the powerball? Or are you an average or below average guy with a shitty job just getting by? Do you really think you just got lucky? That hottie really wants you?? The person (who most likely isn't even a girl) is just trying to separate you from your money. The downside is you won't even get laid. If you are on this site you are looking to pay to find women. You are seeking them out. And depending on what you're willing to spend will determine how hot is the girl. Guys need to get a clue.

The term you're thinking of is "Pig Butchering". Using the correct term will help people do their own research.The article from cnn used both. But yours might be more main stream.

B.Yes clearly if it is too good to be true then.

Thing is they are going after so many people. They try and retry perfecting the strategy as they go. The story was pretty good about acknowledging people knew better. There is just a psychological technique. They know not everyone is going to bite.

But if we can help each other all the better. In my opinion.

A close buddy of mine allegedly got sucked in badly by this Instagram girl. Karolina Urbanova - https://www.instagram.com/karolina_official97/.

I guess she used to be some porn star in Prague, but was only middling at it. He started talking to her online and by the time the dust settled he sent her something like 150 k in crypto and even had a "marriage certificate" show up in his mail (which he swears that they ARE married. He's never physically seen her).

Apparently there was all sorts of confirmation that it was actually her, including video interaction on her OF. She took the money and now lives in Ecuador and does ayahausca all day and runs tour groups or something like that.

Absolutely crazy story. Keep in mind I've known this guy for more than 20 years now. I know how he is and have seen some crazy shit with him. I believe the entire story, if not all of the nuance of it. He's even considering taking a trip to her "Ayahuasca Retreats" although I'm pretty sure it's a vengeance plan of his and not more "pursuit of happiness".

While I was being set up I kept having a gnawing feeling. But they play on the emotions very well. https://www.instagram.com/hellokitty.771/?hl=en.

That is the profile where several pics came from with google lens. The images that helped me vsnap out of it were some dining pictures. The different pics went back to different accounts. Also, no way that model ate as much steak as the pics I saw. If I get taken it will be for maybe 1100 total. An expensive lesson but I was being set up for a much bigger hit.

I will be curious about what happens next, yes there is zero chance a girl like that would go for a guy like me, but the little guy was dreaming big.

These scams are only going to get better and harder to detect.

Be safe.
