These scammers are popping up all over the place. I’ve had two in my inbox since yesterday. Probably similar to the text scammers, they’ll ask to switch to telegram or WhatsApp and then try to get you to “invest” in their crypto or they’ll ask you to go buy some gift cards.

Which part of this is supposed to be a scam?
flicman
it’s subreddit independent. chatbots trying to hook you in for later scamming.

Where’s the scam? You got to meet Robert Parker! /s

Yeah, they’re getting more active for sure. I’ve had three different ones hit me up just this week.
I agree with /u/SupermanWithPlanMan – they’re a lead in to a pig butchering scheme, I’m guessing from China.

You’re telling me u/ikari_warriors is actually Robert Parker?? And he’s scamming people with his ratings? Fool me once

I got a chat request from this exact account, you’re right to be skeptical!

I had someone very similar reach out to me as well. I stopped responding after they said that beautiful day bullshit

Lmao I got messaged by the same jamoke. They go away if you swear at them in punjab from what I experienced
CondorKhan
Yep, just report them and ignore them
They will usually claim to be an attractive woman who for some reason really wants to share her Lafite with you.
Then you will have to send them money for some reason.
