Scammers

in Chit-Chat
Good evening. Please be careful of a guy called Williams Jones. He’ll befriend you, be really nice to you, want to communicate via another app, tell you he’s in love with you. Then he’ll tell you he’s in the army and has to go on a deadly mission that he’ll need your help to get out of.

He’ll ask you to send a letter to his “General”
This is a scam to get money.

👍

    I got friended by a guy allegedly in the military. I got wary of him when he avoided my questions as to what inspired him to join MFP, fitness goals, etc. He began to ask a lot of personal questions. Nothing about money came up but I de-friended him fast after that. Since then, I've received friend requests (all guys) that I delete immediately.

    I am a law enforcement officer. I promise those reading that anyone who asks you to use one these foolish encrypted apps is a scammer.
    Whatsapp
    Telegram
    Or what ever else...
    I have had fake ladies try to hit me up as well. Usually they use some young girl with a smoking body on the profile picture and they try to target middle aged men (like me).
    I delete them as fast as they can say "Microsoft tech support" 💪😀
