I'm just taking a pulse here. In the past week I've had three occurrences of strangers reaching out to 'know me' better.
Twice on my personal Instagram account DM, and once via text.
In the IG cases it was a VERY attractive Asian woman who said my feed kept coming up on her feed as 'suggested'. Her ask: "Did we know each other or have similar friends?"
The account appeared legit with posts going back WELL over a year. Selfies, with friends, family, gym workouts, food, skiing; ALL high end. SHE was a knockout.
"You seem to be very interesting. I'd like to know your interests."
Then I looked deeper: she had over 900 followers and BARELY any likes. This kind of lifestyle and glamour would most certainly have dozens of 'likes'. 1 or 2? Hmmmm...
So I told 'her' that I thought it all was bogus, for this reason. Apparently I struck a nerve because the vulgarity and incredulence she spat back at me was, ummmmm, NOT feminine. Closed on the F-bomb.
Then it happened again, on IG, and tonight I just got a cell text: Same deal. 'She' showed me a comely photo, and stated she was now living in the states. "Let's be friends."
I blocked the number.
Is this a new Covid Variant?? Jeezus.
Anyone else get this experience? What actually happens when you play it out?
Lastly: If this happens to you, don't fall for it. Very appealing.
