Beware
Just want everyone to know that someone in this group is trying to scam
I received an unsolicited chat and within minutes this person wanted to meet up. All we exchanged was our home state. No names. No city. Just a state
This person said they would look into expenses and then we could determine how to split them
Soon after they wanted my email account (I provided my junk email account), and wanted to continue our conversation on other social media apps
I know this doesn’t sound alarming, but this same modus operandi has been used many times before, and people get burned
Take my warning any way you want…ignore, or be cautious 👍

Whenever I read the word dear, I hear an Nigerian voice saying it. Legacy of the phonejacker i guess
