So I'm not sure if at this point if I'm crazy or she's crazy or if she's trying to scam me lol ๐Ÿ˜‚

I love messing with scammers. I play along and mess with them ๐Ÿ˜But what bothers me is If she is a scammer is how she got my number. Do scammers share them? Is it on a dox board like in pastebin or the deepweb?

Any thoughts on this?

@Wetrix If all these sources have some email address in common, that is where you need to start, change that email address password and its recovery email password first if there is one.

@mister_monster no phone number in my profile.

The others were just ones that started off nice and after we started texting through phones they tried to work there scams lol ๐Ÿ˜‚

Buy those ones I gave my number to.

I don't remember ever giving to this one ever. I don't remember her at all.

@Wetrix To be safe, change the password for the email associated with that account, and if that email has a recovery email, change that one's password first. If it is gmail/hotmail or the like, there is a strong likelihood that your phone number is associated with it, and if they know for sure that you have a PoF account then it is possible the email address has been compromised.

@mister_monster I will do this for sure ty.

I'm still just wondering if it's a scam or if she's legit and I'm going crazy.

I just checked the meta data on her pictures she sent me and they check out.

@Wetrix If you did not give her your number, it is a scam and she got it from somewhere.

If you are wrong and did give her your number then that is what is going on.

If she has asked you for money then it is a scam either way.

@mister_monster oh yeah I totally agree. At this point I'm just playing the game to see where this goes.

@Wetrix Also I cannot stress enough the importance of having different strong passwords. I strongly suggest a password manager, keepsassXC or bitwarden are both FOSS and excellent.
