And when did you / the person you know realize he was scammed?
What tips do you have for people who haven’t lived this, so they don’t fall for it?
How long till they start asking for money?
What sites do scammers use? Can it be a facebook group or is it only limited to dating sites?
My aunt did.
She got suspicious when her online companion kept asking her to buy stuff and ship it. She didn’t catch on immediately, and the family had to explain to her she was doing something illegal and that it was a scam (even though he was reimbursing her).
(She later did remarry a non-scammer, so happy ending I guess).
What was the scam if he was reimbursing her? Was it to generate Amazon reviews?
A common tactic is to pay your victims back to build trust and later ask for larger sums because “well they paid me back last time”
I think it was to get around embargoes? This was probably late 90s, early 2000s so she was buying stuff at like Circuit City/Walmart/etc and shipping it off.
