Online Dating?? Check Double Triple Times!!
Hello there, good evening folks. How are you all doing?. Well, I took a break from read for a day because I just started to have my menstruation and son of a bish hurts like heck.. But, I shouldn't be complaining much as I belong to those rare blessed women who have pain only for half a day or so.. So, even though I had severe pain in my abdomen and back, I'm thankful by evening, I will be back to normal... well on other news, I just logged in my account only to see I touched 400+ subs on Read and it brought a smile to my face. When I was a newbie, I used to look at the OGs of Read and think about how wonderful it would be to be able to reach at that place or at least near them and seeing my dream become a reality, it is very nice..
I promise you all that I would strive hard and work hard to write more quality content and also relatable content that you all can enjoy and thank you for constantly being there and encouraging me. Ya'll been a dream team for sure. Every single one of you, much love... I will also promise to give back to the community by sponsoring as many users as I can and also supporting fellow users.
Now coming to this post:
As you all remember a month ago, I visited my Mommy and she lives in a gated community of apartment with 800 houses in it.. with that amount of people around, Imagine how many stories each person would carry.. Mommy shared with me a story of a young engineer who works in another city that got cheated during the days he dated online for an year.. the story goes like...
This guy finished his graduation and got a job in a completely different city and he got relocated to it. Things were going okay at the start but after a month or so, he got a message on his insta from a random anonymous account without a profile pic saying she saw him in the cafeteria and she liked him from the moment she saw him.. He ignored those messages at first because she does not have identity but she never stopped messaging him. She even started begging him not to ignore her. He started to respond back just to get her off his back but day after day, he started to realize that she is actually a very interesting person to hangout around..and he also started to like this mysterious woman who is so interested in him.
Few months passes like this and not a day goes without they talking to each other and he started to fall in love with her and begged her to reveal herself and be his girl friend. She immediately agreed to his proposal and his life became so interesting, at least as he thought. Everything was going well for him and out of blue, suddenly one day, he stopped getting messages from her. He messaged her so many number of times, called her, video called her and everything went in vain.. In an attempt of desperation, he even consulted HRs to find out which employee is not showing up to office but still could not find out who it is..
A week went by and he went to a verge of depression and she called him from a private number suddenly.. That was the first time he hears her voice.. she sounded so enchanting to him on the phone and that soothed his soul.. But she started crying as she mentioned the reason for her absence all these days is her Mother being admitted in the hospital because she got heart attack and the doctor suggested doing heart surgery on her.. The operation was scheduled a week ahead and she is busy in collecting funds for her Mom.. He felt sorry for her and consoled her and she even showed him all the doctor reports and surgery appointment schedule in a famous hospital in that city..
The guy offered to share some money to her surgery which the girl down right declined but after him insisting, she took the money ad thanked him.. He felt so happy to be able to help that girl and couldn't wait to see her as she promised she will appear before him in person once the surgery is finished.
Can you guess what might have happened later? yes... he had been cat-fished for all those days and she never existed in first place.. Once he realized he got scammed, he reported the whole incident to the police.. The cyber crime department tried to find the location of the IP of that girl's phone and found that the location shows of an abandoned building that nobody lives or goes near by.. They couldn't find whereabouts of the person who scammed this guy and it turns out, this is the third case they got in the same month reporting the same scam in the same way.. He lost money and dignity in the society as people now think he is so gullible and desperate and everyone looks down upon him.
when I heard the story, I still could not believe how a person who finished engineering degree and works as an engineer in a corporate company and also hailed from a well educated family could be manipulated so easily online.. how could someone possibly send money to others whom they have never ever seen before??? how does this all make sense to you? because it is not making any sense to me... comment your opinions down below about the whole situation because if you are doing online dating, I need you to be double triple cautious with the person... do not give any money, do not send your address and do not mention any of your personal details like your routine or routes you take etc...be careful guys
Thank you friends and sponsors.. love you all
Yours @Theblackdoll
Love Scam indeed
