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.
