I Hate Fake People

So a week back,I got a friend request from an unknown man from Liverpool UK.At first ,I was doubtful in adding him but got a message quickly that he was a common friend and wants to know me.

I put him in restricted list and added him.For the next 7 days,I got everything from I love you,I missyou,I want us to be together cards,every single day and night.That was overwhelming at first,but I did not react.Just said thanks.

He kept on sending me flowers,everyday until one day he asked my address and postal code which I refused .

I admit I take my own time to trust but got a bit surprised when I was asked my address.
He said he purchased a wedding ring which is plain fake as he showed me a picture of it seemingly downloaded from google images.

He said he purchased it as he came from his ofc and wants to send me ,so he requires the address and postal code.

I immedietly got alarmed and though I could not sound harsh,I still told him I dont accept gifts like this.

He was soo angry ,he stopped texting altogether.

Now I wonder,Who was he?was he really what he claimed or some freaked out guy..

For whatever he was,I was damn sure of one thing-He was fake.

The purpose is hidden though.Internet is not safe anymore,I say..

*sigh*

I have neither requested nor received friends requests on SW yet. If it works like anywhere else, there should be a message with the request. Some people play the game of collecting friends, but if you think about it, how could one have thousands of friends?

A legitimate friend request should come with an introduction, as in why this person would like to be friends. Otherwise, I generally ignore these requests.

You have F next to your gender, so I am guessing you get a lot of friend requests from guys. Men like to do that. Darken the skies with friends requests, and hope some stick.

On Skye, I get a few requests per day from barely legal "girls" who would like to know me. Really? I am in my 50s.

The Internet is full of nothing but scams. I suppose it works, and this is why people still do it. Caveat Emptor.
