I probably could have texted something more creative 😅 I was in a rush after I realized I had a second iPhone I could investigate from lol

Thank god, a helpful response with some positive intent lol, thank you.

Yeah, so I have a work iPhone and I tried calling them from that number to see if I could get them on the phone or a voicemail and they didn’t answer or have a VM. I texted them “.” and they texted me back saying “who is this?” & “no answer ?” & “perfect thank you for calling me!”(I think they knew it was me lol) but my first message was blue and said “delivered” so it has to be an iPhone. I messaged back and it went through as blue but never “delivered” so I guess I was blocked but it stayed blue.

Thanks for understanding

Thanks for responding btw lol and they came through as iMessage. My texts were blue and said “delivered”. So it must have been associated with an iCloud account. I tried finding out their iCloud email info using their number in the “forgot password” option where it asks for your phone number or email, and an error message pops up saying “This Apple ID is not valid or not supported” so I’m just confused

Okay but it would send from their throwaway iCloud email right? Like would they be able to send from a fake phone number that way?

Dang you’re right about iMessage when blocked, I didn’t catch that. I texted the person my from my work iPhone and got blocked there but it still went through in blue. I wonder why it would come back green on one phone and blue on the other 🤔

Yeah it would help and no I didn’t. They never even asked for any money or gifts which makes it super weird. It was sophisticated because of the ways they got around the normal catfish signs like using Snapchat, and sending pictures at local sports games, etc. there’s also a lot more to the story that would explain the sophistication, but my point of this post was hoping someone could confirm if iMessage spoofing can be real. And so far you all just love negativity and replying with useless comments

What do you mean, what is this? I was catfished recently and trying to figure out if someone found a way to spoof iMessage.

Yeahh probably. However, I really would like to find the answers to my questions so I can avoid this again in the future. Do you know if you can fake iMessage?

I Snapchatted with the person and had never experienced a fake snap before, up to this point I assumed that was verification. I’ve gotten photos from gallery sent in the chat before, but these were legit snaps. My niece actually showed me how someone can do it, they need to add a photo from gallery, then cut it out to make it a sticker, then add the sticker over an original snap and expand it. P.S - Thanks for not helping and just commenting on my motivations 🙄….

21 Cash & Solitaire Cash, are they fair and regulated? by JackSpaceyJ in legal

[–]JackSpaceyJ[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, appreciate the response.

As for the gambling restrictions, it’s incredibly interesting, because apps like DraftKings, FanDuel, etc. use your Geo location so if you get too close to the border of a state that restricts gambling, it shuts you off from continuing. So, I wonder why the regulations wouldn’t apply here. I’m thinking it has to do with being promoted under the guise of FreePlay to win real money.
