i mean yeah
i can’t believe i am bumping into this
but i hope this post kinda helps
if you wanna look for trait of
a love parcel scam
*
random friend request on social media
out of nowhere
kinda good looking
good qualification and career
and somewhere instant
preferably a developed country
*
conversation started
this person has the characteristic of
being a nice, kind-hearted but
lonely and sad boy
who is in need of love
he may be a bit hard to talk to
because he is lonely
*
getting closer
will address you as
dear, baby, my love
and suddenly the sweet talk
totally another person
by saying that how
meeting you have changed his life
*
long long text
that’s probably a template
which is easier to copy and paste
no any normal person
will type such long text
in Whatsapp
*
no exchange of photo,
not to mentioned (video) call
never will
*
being vague with specific details
always busy with work
but no description of
how and why is him busy
*
always online, but not talking
will MIA for certain time
saying he is really busy
or he falls asleep
yet last seen time is 5 minutes ago
or actually online
*
there come the parcel
asking for address
promise to send something
something luxurious and cash
not to tell anyone, it’s for you
*
you can find so many flaws
who’ll send so cash via courier
who’ll buy shoes without asking for size
the images are clearly Google imaged
different backgrounds, color schemes
text mentioned iPhone, image is S8+
*
tell you he was busy in meeting
and too busy to text
yet managed to buy
so so many things
within a day and
typed so much at one go
*
then he’ll tell you about
the tax clearance part
to validate the reason
why they left cash in the parcel
*
like come on scammer
you have to do better than this
*
and guess what
you are as stupid as wtf??
*
however the sad thing is
there are a lot of victims out there
who fall prey to it
and they are highly educated women
who put their hard-earned money
into this shit
*

“The suspect promised to send a parcel
loaded with money, jewellery, an iphone,
computers and clothing,”
