Hello lovely people of reddit, hope you're doing great! I would like to offer my 2 cents experiance, of many years roaming those dark corridors. I've noticed many scum posts on " make friends" , " chat pals" kind of subbs, lately. Fortunatly they have more- less same pattern. Short paragraphs, with long spaces, sentences with not much sense, google translated. Lists of hobbies and interests showing off luxury lifestyle, Scuba diving, swimming, sky diving, golf, sking , bodybuilding and ofc, yoga. Shopping and traveling around the globe. Usually targeting more mature, stable " older than me persons" .." because i can learn from you.." ,.." no one under 50 should contact me..." but can strike on any age range. US based ( or anywhere ) but originally " not from there.." New accounts, few days to a month old, posting same add on 12 subbs. "Passive income" ," investments" ," successful but lonely" , are some tag words you should avoid. Dont migrate immediatlely to " another app" or give any of your personal info.until you get solid idea whim you are talking to. Hope this can be helpful. Stay cool and safe.
