Does anyone else get random DMs from people on this board?

phalo · 2022-09-26T16:05:56+00:00

Yes, catfishing most likely. I'd just ignore them.

Grand-Expression-493 · 2022-09-26T16:10:51+00:00

Yup all the time. Choose to respond if you will. I feel lonely at times so even if catsifhing I just engage in convo. Few of them were legit. Rest are obvious scams lol. It's fun to mess with them. Goes without saying don't send your real pic and don't give out your number.

Token_or_TolkienuPOS · 2022-09-26T17:13:55+00:00

Desperate losers trawling men's divorce forums looking for suckers to reel in to their web. Ignore all of it

Gattsama · 2022-09-26T16:06:06+00:00

Yes. I hit ignore

ragingredditir · 2022-09-26T16:26:14+00:00

Yeah. I told them if they want to talk to someone go on dating apps. The subreddit is for guys looking to get out of relationships, not into them

Front-Lion-5098 · 2022-09-26T16:49:46+00:00

Yes - ignore them - trolls/catfishing shit.

georeddit2018 · 2022-09-26T17:36:22+00:00

They send me once a month. It is very obnoxious message stating that I should not ghost them, eventhough I don't know the person at all. And then they want you to go to their discord account. They are looking for someone to buy their products.

Just ignore them.

ramboton · 2022-09-26T17:52:44+00:00

yep, and half my age. I told one that I had a daughter older than her and she said that did not matter.....lol. Did not matter for trying to get my credit card number maybe...lol

playerknowmore · 2022-09-26T18:44:04+00:00

It's like they are trolling for broken men. I made the mistake of saying my State; she sexted me and said she could meet me in a hour. No way I was looking for an uglier woman.

fewdo · 2022-09-26T19:42:44+00:00

I did but when I said I would never send money for any reason, they stopped talking to me.

BlackHoleSlurpy · 2022-09-26T22:24:17+00:00

Report as spam. Probably some sweaty Nigerian or Asian working a scam for money.

whatskeeping · 2022-09-26T17:50:25+00:00

Ignore

awesomelybearded · 2022-09-26T22:21:16+00:00

Usually it’s dudes trying to get me to talk about things.

Maybe I’m just special?

Jonger1150 · 2022-09-26T22:27:20+00:00

Those are dudes looking to extract money out of you.

lone_rutabaga · 2022-09-27T00:27:53+00:00

I have from other similar boards. Mostly trash sitting for romance scam marks.

Trust the process.

akihonj · 2022-09-27T06:15:55+00:00

Karma fishing. New year's will start a conversation with people just to up their karma to allow them to post and respond.

Happens all the time, the fact that women do it to men on this sub is an eye opener if you think about it, their intentions are to use you to further their own goals.

When you understand that it's not making women look any better is it.

Exxecutes · 2022-09-26T17:54:42+00:00

I’ve had it happen before

NocturnalCoder · 2022-09-26T18:22:32+00:00

Yes. I joined a couple of new subs recently and became more active. So I cannot pinpoint it to this sub, but this week alone 4 newly created profiles dm'ed me

Y_so_cunty · 2022-09-26T18:36:49+00:00

Yep. Just ignore them.

Theedon · 2022-09-26T19:26:07+00:00

I get them. Replied to one and answered their questions with jiberish.

IncreaseCommercial71 · 2022-09-26T19:47:10+00:00

Yes, I just ignored them

furiousmustache · 2022-09-26T20:28:36+00:00

Yeah I got one. Looked her up online and she was a pretty interesting character. Didnt live too far away from me either, which was a little odd.

mrk177 · 2022-09-26T21:39:20+00:00

So funny. Yes not all the time but I do get them.

Micro_Peanuts · 2022-09-26T23:38:22+00:00

Yep, me too. She was from eastern europe and was looking to "strike up a friendship".

IcyEntertainment8673 · 2022-09-27T01:46:52+00:00

Some of us are genuine. Not catfishes and could use a friend, too. Some of us are lurkers. Not every woman needs a desperate buck vía onlyfans.

JohnnyBandito · 2022-09-27T01:49:14+00:00

Scammers maybe?? Just watch yourself

us027952 · 2022-09-27T05:50:05+00:00

Yep one of them told me they got raped and are working for the Russian military

Kwen_Oellogg · 2022-09-27T05:55:03+00:00

I've had it happen twice now in the last month.

So what is that about? Are they looking to monkey branch?

Ruggiard · 2022-09-27T09:25:42+00:00

some guys trying to hire a "renowned" therapist and setting up group sessions on Zoom

notyourmama827 · 2022-09-26T16:31:31+00:00

I am here hoping that some other post can give me Guidance on how to deal with the toxic person in our lives.

I wouldn't DM anyone but I will admit most men really get shat on during a divorce.

upvotersfortruth · 2022-09-27T03:40:54+00:00

Yes, I got the same dm.
