This “Young Woman” Tries To Scam A Guy On Facebook, Shows That Scammers Are Adapting

ADVERTISEMENT

Even if we never experienced such a phenomenon on our own, all of us surely have read about plenty of internet scammers that try to lure your money out in one way or another. While some pretend to be an African or Indian lover, there are quite a large number of scammers who use pictures of attractive women to mask their true intentions. And while usually, their use of grammar and illogical responses give them away, sometimes it’s not that easy to spot. One Imgur user recently shared his chat with a scammer ‘Mary’ on Facebook, where he decided to go along with her story and have some cheeky fun with it. He used dark humor to see how far the scammer would go, especially when the talk turned to money. Scroll down to read the conversation and tell us what you think!

As a writer and image editor for Bored Panda, Giedrė crafts posts on many different topics to push them to their potential. She's also glad that her Bachelor’s degree in English Philology didn’t go to waste (although collecting dust in the attic could also be considered an achievement of aesthetic value!) Giedrė is an avid fan of cats, photography, and mysteries, and a keen observer of the Internet culture which is what she is most excited to write about. Since she's embarked on her journalistic endeavor, Giedrė has over 600 articles under her belt and hopes for twice as much (fingers crossed - half of them are about cats).

Hahaha, this is so funny, even though it is a bit "disturbing" since the scammer seems to be "serious". :'D

I think the scammer was playing along in the hope of getting money for "airfare". It doesn't make sense that they would accept the money and then not keep it all for themself.

This is disturbing on a number of levels. I'm going back to work. That's it, BP! You've officially lost your ability to distract me from my work. YOU HAD ONE JOB, BP. ONE. JOB.

Not funny but horribly disturbing 😟 Who the Hell is sick enough to pretend to buy children?? There's really funny ways to deal with scammers and this isn't one of them 😫
