Pictures. Catfishing / blackmail warning
Gentlemen,
I'm here with a public service announcement.
I've been contemplating starting up a SA account. I opened up a female account since its free to see what you crazy mongers put on your profiles.
Anyway, I just randomly did a few reverse image searches on monger profile pictures and about 20% of the time, I hit upon a monger's full social media profile. You can get a hit even if the face on the pic is blurred out.
Be careful with your pictures. Don't be lazy and just grab one off your facebook / instagram / twitter. Put a brand new one on there. In fact, if you're going to play this game, I wouldn't even keep any social media active.
A catfish / blackmail is a known scam. They'll identify you, hit you up with some messages, make you say some dumb shit then try to use it to blackmail you.
Please Elaborate on this Scam
[QUOTE=SGlider;4724733]What a disappointment. I should have seen all the signs but was thinking with the wrong head. Long story short, boyfriend came home half way through and she kicked me out of there. Luckily I didn't get into a confrontation with him on the way out. Smells like a set up and that was her intention the entire time.
This is her second profile on here. Her first one is no longer.[/QUOTE]Can you get into the all the details of the set up, the intention and the signs you should have seen please.
I've seen this scam on some movie. Girl gets the guy into a Vegas hotel room, gets him to the point his pants are off then a guy pretending to be the husband comes in with a gun acting like he just caught his wife in the middle of cheating. The monger freaks out and runs out in his underwear. They grab his pants, empty his wallet and throw the pants back out to him. Tell him to fuck off and if he calls the police they have his I'd and will come for him. They bounce from that room, rinse and repeat in another room in a different hotel.
However, in your case, you're at her residence. You can easily find out her real name and info just based off of the mailbox to her apartment LOL. From there you can do a lot of damage. So I really don't get this particular scam and I'm wondering if it was a real situation with a BF just returning. Did you hit her up to question her afterwards?
This whole scam just sounds so dumb to me that I would say it's a Hanlon's Razor - "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
