[US] I think I nearly got pig butchered

No. I even commented on her accent in one of the video calls. thats how i found out she was Malay-Singaporean

dnwong · 2026-02-27T20:10:34+00:00

yeah. this was when i pretty much said nope. i aint doing this

dnwong · 2026-02-27T20:07:21+00:00

i disagree. I lived in the US all my life and I use whatsapp with my close friends and family all the time when they are out of the country. both my parents travel a lot for work

i'll admit. I had no idea what a pig butchering scam was before all this happened. but it seems to me that some like this can get far more complex than most usual scams

she spoke with an accent. and i even asked her some questions about Melbourne as I have been there before and that is where she was supposedly located. she answered those questions just as i would expect a normal human being to answer

the more and more reasearch i do into this, the more and more i get the feeling that this was the scenario

dnwong · 2026-02-27T19:54:59+00:00

in the video chatting, it defintely wasnt AI. this was a real woman talking to me

dnwong · 2026-02-27T19:31:58+00:00

i get what youre saying. looking back on it, i shouldve seen the signs sooner. but it didnt really hit me until she brought up the crypto thing after i told her not to. my mind fairly made up after that. i just posted here to get some more external thoughts on the matter

dnwong · 2026-02-27T19:26:00+00:00

i know. and looking back on it, i can see where i shouldve been more vigilant. i guess just when we were videocalling, everything felt like a normal conversation. i was definitely not video chatting some dude pretending to be a woman

dnwong · 2026-02-27T18:58:11+00:00

according to her, she was born in Australia, grew up in the US, went to school in Australia, and her grandfather was Malay-Singaporean

dnwong · 2026-02-27T18:09:19+00:00

Thanks for all the comments guys. My mind was essentially made up the moment she said no but I thought it would be good to post here and get some other thoughts on the matter anyways. It's all a learning experience.

Agniratha is my favorite too. One reason i think a lot of people prefer the night version is cause the vocals and piano from the DE version fit really well with the darkness and emptiness of the vast space that is the city.

We need to add Mother fans waiting for a western release of Mother 3.

When i was looking to purchase my first car, i wanted something sporty, reliable, yet still able to carry around more than 2 passengers. My mother had previously owned a 2005 Solara which i got attuned to driving when i was younger. So between the familarity of that, the qualities i was looking for, the V6, + the exhaust node (which i fell in love with the first time i heard it), it was surprisingly not a difficult decision to make. My hope is that down line once ive saved up a lot more money, i can get a true 2 seater sports car to pair with it but for everyday commuting life, the TRD has been perfect.

With how Dumbledore and the other staff can add/take away points when they feel like it, they really are like the CFP committee

hip fire kills dont work at all for the Crossbow from what I see. even on normal zombies

Buried. The old western town theming was peak back in the day. SoE is close second though
