My guess of how this works is if you contact a scam ad, and they can't get you for the deposit for "the girl" (who doesn't exist), then they come back later and try to get you with the blackmail angle. I actually got one of these texts a while back when I cussed out a sugar daddy scammer trying to run the fake cheque scam lol. TLDR ignore it...actually extra pro-tip, block the # too. If the loser doing it is desperate they'll send gory pics to try to freak you out, shit you really dont want to see, again speaking from experience 😕 Edited August 2, 2023 by MissArtois Typo 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
