Any person who claims to be a fulltime working professional and yet can chat with you for hours on end everyday should raise a red flag.

I’m not letting you borrow money even if I know you.

I'd rather be alone and have money than be poor and in a fake relationship.

Don't call them scammers. Call them thieves and charge them with felonies and sent them to prison.

I'm not going to say what I really should say. But common sense is not that common.

Isn't it when we were young, we are always reminded to not talk to strangers?

The money we earned is through hard work, sweat and tears. Don’t hand it over so easily to someone you never meet in person.

Damn, not even a Phd holder is intelligent enough to realize what’s happening. DO NOT GIVE MONEY TO STRANGERS

These scammers are targeting people who are either lonely, widowed, super busy, or unattractive knowing those will be most vulnerable.

Sad how common sense goes out the window when emotions are involved. It’s the human condition. 😢
