My Scammers

These are screenshots of attempts to scam me, and also photos that were stolen by scammers to use for their fake profiles. I include them here for three main reasons:
1) To show that anyone can be a target, and (once on a list) will continue to be targeted;
2) To increase awareness of what scam approaches can look like; and
3) Because publishing the images will increase the probability of them showing up when someone does a reverse image search for the same stolen photos. There may be a different fake name attached, but anyone approaching you with a scam-flagged photo will be a scammer – who is NOT the person in the photo.
