⚠️ Romance/Investment Scam Warning — “Minnie” (WhatsApp) — Fake Wholesale Trading Platform
If you’re talking to “Minnie” or someone with a similar script, please be cautious. These operations are often run by organized scam networks. Don’t send money, don’t “register” on any platform they recommend, and certainly don’t click on any links.
The usual thing they try is
**•** Rapid emotional intimacy (“I love you”) before any in-person meeting
**•** Pressure to “register” and start trading/selling quickly
**•** Vague business explanation with promises of easy profit

I knew she was a scammer but I was intrigued and wanted to learn about her tactics. She started with a friendly chat after meeting online, she then told me that she lived locally and sent pictures and addresses of the area. We had a 3 minute video call which she terminated suddenly. She wouldn’t take any voice calls and got annoyed when I questioned her why we couldn’t have a call , soI accused her of being a scammer which made her angry. After a few weeks I messaged her again and we reconnected and she told me her life story and said she loved me. I played along and she then sent me a link to thomasnet.com a drop shipping platform but obviously I didn’t click on it I instead told her I did and she offered to help me register I said that I could do it myself. Then I told her my AI assistant had recommended a better platform and she would set it up for me. She laughed and insisted that she would assist me but I refused, since then she hasn’t bothered me as much.
