Well that's nothing new. Looks like it's still going to be a while in this Puritan nation if the federal DOJ is still taking the time and resources to do operations, stings, and press releases like this.

Bet they were the TGTBT posts. I'll use the AMPs in FayetteNam but not the individuals. Place is too scary for me with both LE and criminals.

Right. However the initial questions were structured so that I was supposed to think I was helping locate the missing person, although they sounded scammy from the start. Once they ". Directed their investigation towards me. " (Their words) I knew it was a hoax. I was trying to figure out which provider was participating in the scam and if they knew anything else about me.

Thanks!

Do you mean:

1) Why would you respond to the providers calls / texts? Because I reached out to them first. I would not respond to an unsolicited call / text for such services.

2) Why would you respond to the providers postings? Because they're on RubMD and have reviews there. I know those reviews can be fake and I should have only responded to ads that are verified through here or another similar 'service'.

3) Why would I answer a phone call from a 919 area code? Because my phone number is not a NC area code I rarely get spam / scan calls from 919 AC's, so I tend to answer the phone.

4) Why would I respond to questions in the call? Ultimately I did not really respond. They were initially seeking information that could help find the person, but when they would not tell me the phone number that I used to reach out to the person or their 'stage' name, I merely responded enough to drag them along until they made the offer of 'psychological evaluation', which cinched it as a scam for me. I wanted to know which of the three recent providers was participating in this so I gave vague answers in an effort to continue to engage them.

5) Or is the intent of your question something else?

Thanks!
