I got one which appeared at first to be a wrong number, just someone asking if I was Catherine or something. I politely informed them of their mistake. They kept messaging, already a bit weird, but then started saying I was “a nice man, nothing like other men” and I slapped that block button. Idk where it was going (not even a man lol, sorry love) but I’m confident it would have ended with asking me for money… Eventually.
Jeeeesus fucking Christ. John Oliver is pretty funny but it almost doesn’t feel acceptable to be laughing during some of that. Anyway, glad I didn’t fall for it 😬
So that’s what that shit was. Got sent three of those conversations and at first I thought they were weird but I should’ve knew no woman will willingly keep a conversion going even less with random strangers.
