Social Media Fraud Alert!! (Part 4 - The Finale)

Before you go any further and in case you missed the previous parts of this story, these are the links to the previous parts...

Part 1  /  Part 2  / Part 3

If you have been following this story and is up to date on what has been happening, you can now proceed. This is the grand finale to this story...

Once again I didn't expect that I would have enough contents to have Part 4. A few hours after Part 3 was published, the following came in...

The GIF image was a bit unexpected... but it does look like flowers over a grave. So creepy! At this point, I was beginning to get bored with his text messages and even felt lazy to respond. 

My husband even got tired of this and asked me to stop responding to him. My brother and a few friends were also worried of my safety and asked me to stop playing with him as it is to my disadvantage because he knows how I look but I have no idea the real face behind that handsome profile picture. I do think that they are right but I need to end this in style.

2 days later, he sent an early morning text and then followed by an audio file. I was so afraid to open it by myself, so I waited until I've reached the office and played the audio file in the presence of my colleagues.

Click on the following link to hear what he actually sent me...

This was the most cringe moment I have ever experienced. I didn't even have to wait until it reaches the chorus to stop the audio file. It's so cheesy!! Michael Learns To Rock? Really?!

And yes, I decided to lie about being in Seoul, Korea just to avoid him for awhile and have an excuse not to respond to him. That photo was a genuine photo I took in Korea but not in Seoul but in Busan... last year.

Then he asked for a photo with me in it... so to make it more believable, I sent one of my Busan trip's photo that has Korean signboards in the background. I also sent another photo with my husband in it and to make sure it looks legit, I chose a photo from my Seoul trip but wearing the same shirt.

And after that last Hello, I actually blocked him out for awhile.

And today I decided it's time for the grand finale... 

And if you noticed, the profile picture in the top corner of this screenshot has gone missing. I think he blocked me out after the last double blue tick you see in the above screenshot.

And this is the end to this story.

Once again, ladies... please be very careful who you befriend with. Don't be friends with random strangers whose real face you have never seen in your life. Don't ever let these scammers think that women are such an easy prey.

Social Media Fraud Alert!! (Part 3)

It's been 2 weeks since my last post and a few of my friends have been constantly asking me about Part 3. I didn't expect that there would be a Part 3 because it all depended on the text messages. So when I published Part 1 and Part 2, I thought he would somehow get to know about it and all the crazy text messages would stop. 

But crazy enough, they did not... so let Part 3 begin!

As mentioned at the end of Part 2, I sent him a test message to see if he will respond...

The tone of the messages sounded really different from his previous ones. So I thought he's brushing me off already. But then the next day came... so did the messages.

I was indeed outstation for work. But his messages was not really making sense and that day's messages just ended like that. Then it started again on the following day.

Romantic message that can only be sent via email? Sounds more like a virus loaded email to me... And then, the tlc messages started again (In case you're wondering... tlc means tender, loving, care). So the day ended with me sending another test message.

By now it has become a bit of a bore because he's no longer following the usual time pattern and his messages always stopped abruptly.

The messages that came the following day was a bit more interesting...

My reply messages in the beginning was a bit blunt coz I was really busy and tired with work. Part of me just wanted to stop all this bulls**t messages but another part of me wanted to see how long this could go on.

So after this part of the message, I decided to test his Korean language since he mentioned in Part 1 that he was still learning the language.

Learning a language via Google Translate? He seriously expect me to believe that?

After that incident, it went quiet for a full day. Since I needed content for my Part 3 post, I decided to text him first...

The messages were so short and cold. So I thought he's lost interest and left it as that. However, the next day I was woken up by my phone ringing. When I reached for my phone to see who was calling me, I saw this... 

Instead of picking up the call, I just decided to ignore it till the ringing stopped on its own. And when I did not answer the call, it just ended as that. No messages came in after that nor days after. I too made no attempt to trigger anymore messages because it was becoming pretty boring.

And just when I thought I would conclude this whole story with Part 3... this came in today...

And the messages ended here for now. But if the messages do continue days later, I do have a plan up my sleeves. Let's just wait and see.
