Dating app scam?
Recently nearly fell victim to a scam situation although I was partly at fault for not identifying some early warning signs.
Matched with a girl on cmb who was really hot but had otherwise near-empty profile, started talking for a week or two, although replies were really slow. 1st warning sign?
Ultimately, we went on a impromptu meet up at a place of her choice for drinks. Her reason for choosing the place was because she frequented it with her friends and was familiar with it. 2nd warning sign?
All of a sudden, she got a call from one of the friends (who she claimed she drank and clubbed frequently with) and convinced me to join 3 of them at his place nearby (seriously how did I not see this was premeditated) for a second round of drinks.
Then, they wanted to play card games with exceptionally high stakes, and even got ready to keep track and score of the winnings and losses.
At this moment I realised they’d likely somehow gang up on me to corner me into major losses so I made up an excuse and left, without resistance thankfully.
Just wanted to check if others have a similar experience, or to share to warn others too, thanks!
Netizens’ comments
- Lol what nationality? Sinkie girl would have sold you insurance
- Hotness blinds sometimes
- Either they really planned a heist against you they poorly executed a warm friendly welcome. Well at least you have a story to share to your friends. Most guys don’t get dates yet alone matches
- Same, i experienced it once. They will bring you to some ulu establishment and the moment i saw the price of the alchohol was $700/bottle, i left immediately
- At least you get to meet the girls, 3 somemore? Haha
