A New Grift

     Among my many faults, just now this one is uppermost in my thoughts: Most of my life I’ve been excessively willing to believe in the goodness of other people, and perhaps I still am today. This has occasionally cost me heavily. But at age 67, my skepticism about the motives of others might finally be adequate to protect me against the more transparent scams.

     However, there’s a new scam in town, and it’s important that my male readers know about it. (I don’t think there’s an equivalent one targeting women…yet.) It works through the social media sites, and it goes like this:

1. A young, attractive woman – typically she’ll represent herself as between the age of 25 and 34 – signs up for your social media site.
2. She posts one post: a very attractive picture “of herself.”
3. Shortly thereafter she sends you a “friend request.” You accept, because why not?
4. She direct-messages you to start a conversation.
5. The two of you exchange a few pleasantries.
6. She invites you to join her on WhatsApp or Google Hangouts.
7. If you join her there, she chats you up a little further, usually with some flattery.
8. THE SCAM EMERGES:She tells you she needs an Amazon gift card worth $10 or $20.

     I’ve been approached by four such scammers in the past three days. Please, take this seriously:

She’s not sincere.
She wants nothing but your money.
Why else would she chat you up, eh, hero?

     I think the reason they like WhatsApp and Google Hangouts is that those two facilities permit simultaneous conversations with multiple targets. That allows them to copy and paste from one chat window to another, reducing the amount of ingenuity they must exercise in their come-ons.

     Be smart. They’re grifters. In all probability the photos they post are fakes. They don’t need; they want. And what they want isn’t your rugged good looks or your chiseled masculine body.

     You have been warned.
