00 [F4A] follow up post abt the scammer

follow-up post for Long-Fox-2494

i also met this dude, @No_Sun_5322. it was purely sfw, i just really wanted to hangout that time.

but honestly the whole experience felt so uncomfortable and off. he told me beforehand nga he doesn’t send pictures and that i should just meet him first, then i could simply decline if dili ko ganahan. when he arrived, naikog pud ko mobalibad kay murag harmless ra paminawon. but, i immediately felt uncomfortable. the vibe was weird, pero nakig chika ra japon ko.

for context, everytime i hang out with people gikan diri, i always choose public places. so when he asked me where i wanted to go, i suggested sa park sa CBP para public and safe ra. he even offered nga mag-Busay, but i immediately said no. we only stayed there and talked for 30 minutes before i told him mouli nako. then while driving, niingon pa siya nga “tuyok sa daw,” and suggested agi sa DSWD.

thankfully, he eventually dropped me off. nag dali jod kog naog and then said bye. but right after, gi ratratan kog messages nga maki-cr daw siya. wa jud ko nireply and blocked him immediately.

his intro was like athletic bod and has a car. honestly, i don’t really care whether naa kay sakyanan or wala. that’s not the issue here. but please stop lying or overselling yourselves just to get someone to meet you.

i know some people here don’t swap pics for privacy or personal reasons, especially on first meetups. i’ve met a few people here nga okay ra bisan dili ko mangayo pics. for me, face value isn’t always a big deal, especially if wholesome.

pero please, ayaw lang mo pamakak about your assets, like having a car, athletic body, height, or whatever. maka-hangout ra man ta tanan. ayaw lang sigeg pamasin. choose what genuinely suits you.

i’m posting this mainly for awareness, especially for girls here. please trust your instincts. if something already feels off before the meetup, ayaw na pugsa because of hiya or politeness. and never agree to pa-pick up or pa-hatod if uncomfortable naka.

this subreddit can introduce you to genuinely decent people, but it also gives strangers access to you. and the dangerous part is that bad intentions rarely look obvious at first.

there’s a difference between being open-minded and ignoring your own discomfort just to avoid seeming rude.

a lot of people, especially young girls, are taught to be polite first before being safe. maikog ta mobalibad, mahadlok ta mahimong “mean,” or usahay we convince ourselves nga basin OA ra ta. but discomfort is already information. your body notices things before your brain fully processes them. people with bad intentions often rely on that hesitation. they rely on you second-guessing yourself, giving the benefit of the doubt, or staying quiet to avoid conflict.

please remember: you do not owe anyone access to you just because they asked nicely, spent money, drove somewhere, or seemed “harmless” online.

if something feels off, leave. block them. change your mind. protect yourself first. embarrassment is temporary. unsafe situations can stay with you for years.

and guys dont be such a dick and creep. grow up
