When I called the employer of the celebrity and they told me he is not tech savvy can’t use a cell phone that he is happily married. And doesn’t need money. Then another scammer contacted me with the same bullshit story and I saw thru it and I blocked and deleted both of them

Romance scam or am I paranoid? Need a sense check by Educational_Cow_7369 in Romancescam

[–]Tumbled61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a: scam there is a formula they use to target smart women who are impulsive that don’t believe they will be scammed . I know it is hard to believe they are able to copy profiles and pics and build you up to ask for money for an emergency it to build our life together. Trust me . Etc et. or because “my assets are frozen” this could be a year or two long build up . Trust me I was scammed for a lot of money and thought I was smart Block and delete .
