Just a little FYI to my new friends on this platform: I have discovered that a person whom I had added as a 'friend' is actually a scammer, likely in some West African country.
Immediately upon adding him as a 'friend,' I received a direct chat message from him, using the classic 'scammer' modus operandi.
The image, below, is a screenshot I took of that chat. Ladies, if you 'friend' Scott Oliver tracy (notice how he forgot to capitalize his own last name), be aware he's a 'romance scammer' and will try to chat you up.

It's St. Valentine's Day, and in honor of this 'romantic holiday,' the Federal Trade Commission has issued a warning regarding 'romance scams': https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2022/02/love-not-money?utm_source=govdelivery

Majority of the guys who look suspicious are using fake pictures that are stolen from someone else's profile, using magazine pics, and are from a foreign country. Annoying for sure! Even females are here doing the same thing , I can usually spot them right away .Trust your gut!!
