Romance Scam Story

A reddit report about a romance scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Hey! Not sure if this is right place to ask? But my best friend is the mostly lovely human being! You can have in your life! Her love is so big and genuine! And that is why I feel I need to ask to help me in helping her! Because she was introduced to a guy that say he is a good guy and he is a celebrity in LA, they have been talking for about 6 months. She was very careful in the start, but I know that something was off! He was very intens with her! And she slowly started to fall for it! But he seem genuinely interested in how they text, my problem here is that they can only talk on this paid website (staryo. com) He is telling her he is trying to get away from the company contact so they can talk outside but they won’t let him, also he invited her to a concert in LA but a month later. He changed and said it was the company that would pick who he was going with, and he is very on with the love,baby, want to know how she feels! Telling her, a lot of bs!… Told her a little while ago that they are more than friends, and inlove. He does send photo and audio and sometimes video, but he can never give her any proof of anything other then his word, and he want her to trust him, “just a litt longer, everything will make sense in a little while longer.” And then here the other day, the site had a glitch! Where all the messages of others got leaked and she could see them live! She asked him about, he then told her that they were fake ones that something was wrong and that support had contacted him to tell him, that the site was making fake profiles and texts, this is where my alarm went off 1000%! So I want to know if there are others that are also in a similar situation with this or these profiles/person? Or if I am just being too sensitive and overprotective of my friend
