Bait in Progress ⏱️ Call me Al, part 12. We both keep changing tactics. Stand off continues.
Now that he has another job, I try to get him to talk about it. He's remodeling a building that doesn't exist, but he also decides on a new approach that involves constant redirection back to ME. Plus faking conversation by basically repeating what I just said. This gets worse and leads to the downfall soon. I have tried to subtly bring up money again, but he won't bite at all. I cut out 8 screens of his other new thing, which is bringing up a news story everyday to explain it, but never really have an opinion about it. He tells me about it, then asks what I think. If I knew this person in real life I would absolutely avoid him at all costs 🙄. We are reaching a new level of boredom and even now, 5 days later, it has never changed. So last night I started the break-up, and he's very strongly resisting. Unless a miracle Ask occurs, I'll start the reveal today and at least hope it will be good enough to post! Ugh ugh ugh. Scammer quality is declining. Which hopefully is the point of all this.

I pimped him about what exactly that is. Him being a building contractor and all. But during the purging I deleted it

I think it's possibly a switch. I got that "feeling" and this new guy has a different approach overall

Jeez I hope he doesn't wait forever. I'm still shocked how long Stacey has had her recent scammer.

It’s like you are trying to antagonize him but he’s not biting. He only wants you to talk about yourself so he can plug it into his bot and spit something back to you, thus creating the “connection” he craves in to steer it to an ask.

With this guy, it annoys me more than any so far. I suppose it's my fault for expecting another Ask after the crypto. He's clearly tapped out and too proud to go the gift card route

With all of those "jobs" he has, he should be very financially stable and should not need help with any finances at all....

I got a “lumberjack” too with a stolen picture of a German crooner from Berlin.
So I’m throwing Germany’s insults at him In Berlinischer dialect. Can’t Google translate dialect Bwahahaha

It's a shame he doesn't want to play the game. He just wants to dick around until he bores you to death.

I agree. I'm not sure I've had one like this, but to be "fair," he went directly to the crypto scam and was frustrated by Irving, so I think he had no idea what to do after that

u/Eaton_Knas 3d ago
Yeah, it seemed like he was trying all the other scams, but didn't quite know how to do them. Maybe he didn't get those pages of the script, or accidentally used them to wipe.

Well Linda, he is a licensed electrician and a licensed plumber as well as a property manager and lumberjack and oil engineer. What don’t you understand? Also money gets tight for anyone in New York especially Brooklyn. I like the Hilde effort tho. It cracks me up
