The value of a Google reverse image search

[andthighbootsforall]

Folks,

So a few weeks back I went looking for a fantasy within a fairly popular app. I made a comment on a page and was directed to hit this individual up on another platform which I did.
The profile asked if I was interested in a meet up and just happened to live within two hours of me.
I certainly was, but the profile supposedly wanted to try and build a connection over time. Sounded good at first…..
They mentioned they were now a mommy to a young girl and sent me her pic.
So early yesterday I sort of poured my heart out to this profile and told the profile to be careful on the internet. lol
Now going into this I can honestly say there was no damn way I was going to transfer a single dime into anyone’s account!
Its been about 24 hours with no reply and I got a little suspicious. So I took the pic of the kid and did a reverse Google image search and it came up on several profiles . If this individual is truly alive they more than likely live in either PA or Turkey and not the S.E. U.S.A. It’s a complicated web, but at the end of the day it didn’t cost me anything and any emotional investment I had was minimal.

Be careful online and be guarded in the info you share. It only takes a few steps, but learn how to perform a reverse image search on Google as well. Trust nobody and verify everything!

No one worth knowing would EVER send a photo of their young child to a stranger.

I’ve seen this so many times on instagram. Women, usually posing as young Asians, wanting to hook up. First of all, instagram isn’t a platform for hookups, secondly the photos, if you do a reverse image search on google, are inevitably of someone else. An anonymous person they got from LinkedIn, an obscure Asian model, or a prostitute in Malaysia.

Their Instagram accounts are usually stolen and they’ve changed names several times. Sometimes I keep track of them and they eventually change all their pictures to a male, Or a Caucasian girl. Their accounts are usually traced to Nigeria, Russia, or Southeast Asia.

These people can be very convincing. They don’t ask for money right away,although that’s their ultimate goal. Try to entice you with their lifestyle with their instagram pictures. Hey, I’m a 30 year old hot Chinese girl driving a Ferrari and I made this money investing in Bitcoin. You can too! I’ll help you!

Google Yahoo Boys. Romance schemes. It seems laughable that people can fall for something like this yet every year men and women are bilked for millions of dollars. We Americans can be very gullible at times.

Stay safe. Trust no one.
