[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She will eventually tell him she needs money for something, possibly have an "emergency" when they are supposed to meet up and ask for him to send her money so she can get there.

He needs to stop communicating with her. [/quote]

This is EXACTLY what I told him would happen. i’m going to his house tomorrow to have a discussion with him.[/quote]

And by discussion you mean sitting there with him as he deletes all threads and blocks all contact info and the app where this started. It’s no guarantee that he won’t connect with her, but it’s a start. [/quote]

Yep- I’m not sure where the contact started but she has been communicating with him through the Telegram app even though she has an iPhone- ding ding ding there is another red flag. It’s one of those things like why wouldn’t she use iMessage, FaceTime? Yes I will be asking him to delete the app too.[/quote]

So what is he saying when you tell him this is a scam? [/quote]

He is saying “it’s really common for younger people to use these apps”. I don’t know what Gen Z is doing but if this person is my age then no I really don’t think it’s common. He is saying “what if she is just lonely and socially awkward”. Again, even if that is the case why not talk to someone your own age. Her phone number is a weird area code- “what if that’s where she moved from”- nope, I told him that area code is very new. I think he wants to see why things might have explanations. The easiest explanation is that it’s a scammer.[/quote]
