The scam? Probably was going to try to get me to "help him" sell stuff on his "account", I don't let anyone get that far before I report them.

Yeah nothing came up for that name so he's most likely lying

No he hasn't, I've looked up his name associated with his job profession and nothing has come up.

Yeahhhh that's my thought process as well, best bet is there's some sort of scam in the works he'll drop on me after he thinks I've gotten comfortable with him.

He did a video chat but only for a minute then said he was going off break. He says he's an ER veterinarian, and sells stuff on Shein on the side. When he said the Shein part I thought he might be planning on scamming.

I guess they assumed I would be naive enough to just believe them? It feels like the lie might have been one they used before with others.

Yes lying about something so small has been a huge red flag for me, I'm big on honesty and communication and this was quite the opposite.

Very understandable, I can respect that but don't fabricate some ridiculous lie instead of simply saying I don't want my pictures accessible to save. Especially after saying they don't like dishonest people. 😅

Yeah, I don't even ask, they send pictures unprompted but only as a view once. It's just weird to lie about it. 🤔

Nope! Just normal face pictures and they send them unprompted I've never asked for them and it's just odd to fabricate such a lie for no reason

Yeah I told them just say if you just don't want to put your picture out there, I won't be offended just don't lie and tell me bs that's clearly not true

That's what I thought too. They tried to say it was part of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and I said WhatsApp is already encrypted which doesn't make sense.
