Have you ever come across a scam (that you hopefully didn’t fall for) that was so well done you can’t help be impressed with scammers ingenuity?

A few months ago I came across across a very well done dating app scam. The scammer was very careful to use the following details:

• A model who was attractive yet believable looking. Young (30) but not too young.
• Natural iPhone photos. Show pics of the model doing yoga in a gym.
• Started a conversation that was typical for women messaging guys on dating apps. Real women usually only say “hi” or something else one wordy when first messaging.
• Friendly conversation but not sexual. Genuine attractive women very rarely bring up sex first on a dating app when chatting with guys. She responded to my messages in a tone that’s typical for women.
• Had a real phone number with a area code to back up her story. She claimed to be a tax accountant from Seattle. She texted number with a Seattle phone number.
• The model the scammer used was a 30 year old professional Asian woman. It’s common for young Asian people to work in tech, finance, entrepreneurship.
• Scammer kept the conversation seemingly genuine for a week until they brought up the con pitch (would you like to invest in crypto?)

How I knew it was scam:

• Scammer deleted their dating profile app a few hours after they texted me.
• They made excuses twice in a row for not being able to meet up for coffee. Women can be wishy washy on dating apps but she showed little interest in meeting in person.
• When I asked her where she lived she brought up a neighborhood name that’s rarely mentioned in the local vernacular
• Once she brought up the “crypto investment” idea she kept talking about it.

The second she brought up about crypto investing I was 99.99% sure it was a scam. When she asked again knew for sure. Didn’t do it.

But I have to admit it was very impressed with the scammers ingenuity. This person probably could make a decent living with legitimate work. I laughed in my final message and said “you are one sneaky creative son of a b*tch. How many guys have you scammed so far? I got to admit I was impressed with your bs set up”.

If it seems to good to be true, it likely is.

I didn’t fall for it. I once got scammed on eBay years ago but since then I’ve grown radar for fraud.

But I got to admit this one was good.

I frequently get scams by text message about non-existent USPS packages. Google does a good job keeping them out of my inbox. I don't answer calls from unknown numbers.

Oh I get those all the time. That’s easy to pick out.

But this was a well orchestrated “long con”. Whoever put this together really did their homework. Not your typical only fans spam email.

As disgusting as this was I have to admit I was impressed with this scammer’s eye for detail.

It's easy enough to detect them -- the minute they ask for money you know. I started a long conversation with a woman in Europe, expecting that sooner or later she would ask for money. Instead she eventually identified herself and the conversation continued for some months. Now it's been some weeks since I've received a reply. I miss her.
