My wife and I both received message requests on Signal from the same "person". I assume this is some sort of scam but since it was the exact same name and profile image for me and my wife I wanted to see if anyone else has seen this so I can figure out how targeted this attack was. Thank you.
Certainly appears to be a scam. I always say if you have to ask chances are that it’s a scam.
Looks like a pig butchering scam.
I had a co-worker who was in a pig butchering scam for years. It's devastating for the victims, and also for the scam callers who are often imprisoned and forced to make these calls against their will.
Yes.
Cute woman tries to connect with me on social? Total scam. Lol
Maybe they're going down the alphabet sending requests? Or maybe it's targeted. But I would think they would send a cute guy pic to a woman if so.
Yes. It's a scammer pretending to be attractive Asian woman.
There's an asian woman in the picture? I was checking out that animated cloud face about to drive in the background.
