I find it difficult to sympathise with her. How you entrust someone you’ve never met with $450K is beyond me.

- netsharc 3y agoI wonder how persuasive this "Ancel Mali" can be. I guess with a known weakness (desire for connection) the scammer can game the victim by emotionally manipulating them, e.g. maybe he told her he gets an x% refer-a-friend bonus if she "invested" on this seemingly 3rd party site, "Why haven't you done it yet? It's not you giving me money, it's this site! Besides you'll get a high ROI quickly! Don't you love me?!", and playing a hot and cold game of being nice some days and then ignoring her other days, because "you still haven't invested!". I suppose a lot of people are good at this kind of manipulation, e.g. members of cults like Scientology...

- tekla 3y agoYes, since this is comparable at all to this situation. I assume you didn't decide to use your bank account based on Hinge or similar dating app
- enduser 3y agoThe scammers play into longing for easy money and a fantasy of jet-setting life. I got contacted by a scammer via text message and trolled them for many days before tipping my hand. It was a very slick and sophisticated soft sell, a continuous invitation to ask the scammer about the opportunity to get in on their supposed inside tips and big wins.
