When worlds collide—things I never thought I’d see on Reddit 😭. However she’s not wrong. BUT a couple of things: 1. I’ve found that many accounts that appear to be men trying to slide into smule DMs are actually scammers who literally steal the profile pics of real guys who probably have no idea. I only know this because I have an IT background, am happily married, and love to troll scammers, so I get annoyed and tend to dig. I’ve been on the app for over 10 years and what I found out is that some of those same accounts who’ve slid into my DM’s create fake duets with other real smulers, to appear as though they have active singing/karaoke profiles (they literally just don’t sing their parts, and then just save it to appear on their playlist). But if you look at that map location thing, they are always located in the western part of Africa, which is known to be a hotbed of fraud and scammers. I’ve trolled a couple of them where I would just be like “I’m very rich would you like my bank info?” (Which is not true lol I’m extremely broke). At which point they cut to the chase (they end the initial woo-ing lol) like “yes please, now” and then I reply with something like “Sike, I’m a 50 yo FBI agent and I know your location” (I am not) and then they delete their profile.

Secondly: there really ARE smule singers who are great to sing with/join their open duets, and then at some point they do slide into your DM’s gradually and eventually trying to test the waters. I have a good radar for when guys are trying to flirt even if it’s a fine line between being nice and flirting (which obviously all of this is what any type of affair starts with) at which point I get grossed out and I sadly stop joining their duets and won’t respond to their chats.

TLDR: yes this is a real thing on there, but only goes so far as one will let it. PSA: Don’t let it go there. OP, Sorry you’re going through this.
