Russian dissidents are paranoic
Just had a convo with a Russian art scammer for money posting to make you a nice Steam profile. The person is complete hack identifying as Russian dissident who hates Putin and on the verge that the Putin will gonna kill them.

Folks don't fall for this scam in Steam. The idea is to send them money for art. You will never see nor the art nor the money lol.

That's still better than the UK scammers who ask you for money for the plane ticket to come see you for great time together.

Yes, buy your own plane ticket to Brazil instead. If the Brazilian doesn't show up, you can still have a great time with other Brazilians.

These scammers operate on the level that there are people who hate Putin. They try to crawl under your skin, tell you stories how desperate and hard life they have, and ask for mercy and some money. Classic hack for the Russia haters to fall in to a perfect trap

Never fall for Russian dissident hacks. As far as I know Russia is doing great. If someone tells you they are being persecuted by Putin and afraid to go to the street afraid of being killed by Putin, then this is a 100% hack for your money

Because she was telling me that she is afraid to go to the street and Putin's agents are following her. Sending me even pictures of her block in Russia, but not of her face of course, to elevate a sense of fear and reality. Hahaha, pure scammer

I have never dealt with Brazilian scammers. I don't know about them. I once dealt with UK scammer writing from Tunisia. SHe said she was going to come see me but she had difficulty and expenses if I can help a little bit. At which point you know I am not going to fall into such a trap. She even calling me on my phone insane I had to block her

For example, if she accepts a date quickly to see you for a diner then it is real. If she asks you on the date where do you want to touch women then it is real thing. Real relations revolve around having fun and willingness.

If she talks about money all day, about being persecuted and followed by FBI agents, then she is either schizo or a masterful manipulator over your mind or over your wallet

It is usually your wallet, not your mind. Your mind is secondary trash bin

That particular troll scammer uses one and the same approach. Promises to make nice Steam avatars, depicting as some ex employee of big studious like Bioware. Who is now jobless making great Steam avatars. And it turns out she is from Russia, Putin's agents are following her, she wants to escape but has no means, you know where it is going right

Going straight to your wallet. In order to make their victim believe, they usually say Putin is hunting them down because they are against the war. They target a particular group of Russian hater, or Putin haters, deep entrenched in their own insanity of the reality, to fall into a classic bait and help the squirrel in distress asap. ANd since they keep doing this I guess there are some real time fools falling for it and splitting their wallet for the squirrels in distress escaping the hated Putin agents loool

Their favorite victims seems to be guys from Norway because the first thing they ask is are you from Norway loool

I guess Norway is the prime target as they are quite rich as nation and sending a few gran to a Russian victim with fake pics is completely okay to them
