Beware. I am glad that I was informed by the news that these kinds of chats may be a new scam tactic, especially when someone we do not know well messages us for the first time. As you can see, this account hasn’t replied to anything, giving me the impression that this is indeed a scam tactic.

    Check out Social Catfish and you will immediately see that there are more than enough people out there to fall for this stuff. They have a YouTube channel and upload pretty frequently with new investigations. Hundreds of people thinking they are dating only fans models and actors. People will sometimes even ignore all the research that they are provided with and still insist that the person they are talking to is real. Loneliness (sometimes horniness) is a hell of a drug.
