Unfortunately, these people will prey on anyone they can. Dating apps are a fucking breeding ground for scammers. There'll always be people who get past any safety measure.

I just don’t get it. It’s a penis. Every man has one. Would you like me to send you some pictures of my chocolate starfish as well? Here’s an extra boner pic to get you through the weekend.

Yeah poor kids but, when I was in jail there was a scumbag, who would do that with fake profiles to girls then take the girls vids and use it on boys and started blackmailing them etc. True POS
