Have contact with someone on a dating app

We are chatting and it’s going well

However we’re at the step of sharing our numbers

Something is telling me that it can’t be right

All the times I tried dating apps I never really connected with anybody

Think that it might be a scam or something

What should I do?

Could be a scam. What are some of the details?

Do they have any other forms of contact, like social media. If I get doubts of a scam, I ask for facebook, twitter, insta and so on.

Edit. The post history on those platforms can help discern scammers or genuine

Well she seems to be very keen to take things further

Usually I never attract anybody

This has made me suspicious

She wants to speak on WhatsApp

Where did she say she was located?

Red flag if she is a Nigerian Princess and you are the sole heir to her Father’s fortune.

It says London on her profile so she lives a couple of hours away

She said she doesn’t drink which is good

That could be a giveaway. Most discriminating women wont choose someone so far away. Scammers use distance to their advantage to delay meeting and get money.

But you can’t be sure. Just play along with it until she asks for something.

She wants my number

Don’t know if I have struck lucky

The past tells me when something is to good there must be something going on

You can entertain a scammer, but don’t suspend disbelief to stay in a fantasy that will only hurt you.

You may have struck lucky, I dont know.

Be careful.

A co-worker of mine lost 25k to a romance scam.

I guess I have nothing to lose sharing my mobile number?

Just worried it’s someone trying to play me

Not sure

Share your number, long out the conversations though. Till you can clue up whether it’s nefarious or not I would say

I think I will do

Have a track record of being so paranoid about intent that I have never let any relationship go too far

Kind of a shame

But I really struggle to trust people
