Is this a scam ?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Been talking to a girl on here , says she's desperate to meet , but won't come till I buy her a steam game card ? Won't talk to me on here only on telegram , but keeps on and on about this card saying when she gets a pic of the card I bought her she will leave to come to visit me . Seems odd tbh almost too good to be true , has anyone come across anything like this before on here ? |

Not sure if you can report it here if it's happening on telegram but yeah, try.
You don't need to give anything material to anyone in order for them to meet you. Might as well hire sex worker and get it guaranteed.

Yh that's pretty sus, I'd leave it if I was you. If she's making you buy something for a meet you may aswell just hit up a brothel instead  |

She also knows it's against site rules to do that.. hence she won't talk on here. Not her first rodeo! |

It just seems weird , I can't see if it's a scam , what's the point behind it , if you know what I mean |

This is just paying for sex with extra steps. Why not just hire an eskort at that point ? |

The game card must mean a lot. There are addicts out there too. Whatever the steam game pass means - it's an object of desire clearly, not You.. |

It’s a digital code basically. Can be used to buy games etc online or converted back to cash. |

She wants you to buy her something, before she will meet you... and you're asking if it's a scam?
Buy it, she won't meet you then either, and then you're out of pocket.

Definitely a scam, you'll buy a card, then they'd want a pic, then send it to them, blocked gone along with your money.
It's the game they play. You done well to ask but if anyone wants you to buy something or pay for something in advance walk away.
Even if you chat on here and they want to meet at a hotel and you are paying make sure it's refundable even if you've met previously f2f, people can change their minds when it comes to the personal stuff |

Download a generic pic of the card and send it to her, see what happens.

You shouldn't need to shell out money before you meet someone. Block her and move on.
It's best to keep chat on Fab; because if something like this happens, you have proof and can report them to admin. |

When I first joined Telegram and didn’t know what I was doing I got pestered by what appeared to be very attractive young women who apparently were keen to meet me. Virtually all of them then demanded Steam cards. It’s clearly a well orchestrated scam… block and stay clear OP |

Op asking for gifts or money is against site rules. Sending you videos of other people's children in a bid to guilt trip you into sending money is definitely a scam and probably against the law.
I strongly advise you to report this profile here if it still exists and report them on telegram if that's an option. If you go to the .gov web site there's a section there to report suspicious activities. |

No matter how desperate you are to believe you’ll end up cuddling or more with this alleged hot 22 year old Spanish nanny, stop for a minute and ask yourself if 22 year olds are throwing themselves at you normally. If not, can this be about you or is it the steam card that’s appealing to her? |

For the information of the person who claimed that admin take no action
Here is an explanation from Admin from another thread on how they deal with reports. ******Just a quick note. If people report others and we can verify that they have broken site rules, we always take action (either a first and final warning, partially suspended account, fully suspended, mixture of the above). Every single report sent via the REPORT link is reviewed. Clearly it's not in our interests to have people on here who are bad for the site. Equally we need to verify what has been reported and be fair to those who have been reported. Admin PS. we never provide feedback on what has happened. It's just not practical given that we get 100s of reports a day. Here is what the page says after a report has been submitted: -- Your feedback has been saved. A website admin will shortly review your feedback and take the necessary action. After reviewing the evidence available to us, we may disable an account, remove a user, disable certain aspects of that user's account or issue a warning. By leaving feedback you help improve the site for everyone who uses it. Thank you.****** |
