More of a P.S.A. than a question.

Watch out for the phishers. I have been hit up by some three times this week.

I get rid of them by asking why they picked me to write to. They avoid answering

at first, but if you keep at them they stop P.M.ing you.

There seem to be a lot of them on here. Big red flag is if their profile is blank though. They are fun to play with at times though, I find it odd that they only want to chat on here for a short time and then want to switch to another app to chat with you.

@Dainbramadge Yes, I get them saying they live in the US but are visiting a country in Africa and have no money for food stuffs (always like that one) or to get back home again. I think it throws them off when I say I don't live in the US.

Dainbramadge · 56-60, M

@gmatthewb Oh wow. I never thought of that. LOL

@Dainbramadge I had one who claimed to live in Canada but still wanted me to send money in US dollars. Wouldn't say why "she" wanted US dollars either. Was entertaining.

I've worked in fraud prevention so it's obvious to me, but the paper trail still needs to exist. @Dainbramadge

Dainbramadge · 56-60, M

@shaelan Gotcha. So dragging them on could not only be fun but productive as well? Cool. I will take a whole new look at it now. :-)

shaelan · 41-45, M

It can also keep them busy, in a way, but I suspect they won't respond after their message has been left unanswered for half a day, for instance. @Dainbramadge

TeresaRudolph71 · 51-55, F

I've never gotten a message like that, but thanks for the heads up.

Dainbramadge · 56-60, M

@TeresaRudolph71 Yeah they act like they they really want to chat with you until you ask them why or how they decided to want that. LOL

TeresaRudolph71 · 51-55, F

@Dainbramadge That's annoying, when someone pretends to be interested in getting to know you and being your friend when they really want something else. But I wouldn't give them my personal information, no way.

Dainbramadge · 56-60, M

@TeresaRudolph71 Oh no way i would either. As a matter of fact, one guy wanted me to call him. He said he didn't like texting. He got real pushy about it so I just told him to text me if he decided he wanted to talk. I am on here anonymously. I would like to keep it that way. LOL

SW-User

Thanks for the heads up

@SW-User I just thought I should say something sense I had been hit up like three times in a week. I know if it happened to me it probably happened to a lot more.
