2. Wechat. Random message from Chinese young woman. Wechat history going back 12 months, food pics, pics of her etc, really well forged. Fake again, played along for a bit, just for research. Run a mile from this next level scam. The key is, try calling lol.
I do business there, beware.
Beats tinder for the demographic that's for sure!
How do I get more greetings come my way? Any tips lol
Change your name to Chinese and use handsome or cute profile photos.Quote:

Do randoms get to see this if you chat to them?
See what? There is no phone number attached to a WeChat account. I run it off two phones, an iPad and a desktop. They should all synchronise, so it is easy to swap from one to another.Quote:

But this morning when I turned it on, the closest was 12 km, and only about 3 or 4 accounts listed. Sometimes turning it off, then back on a few minutes later will bring up different finds.
Definitely hit and miss. Perhaps the clientele has changed, but I'm not getting as many responses as I did a couple of years ago.
No bueno.Quote:

I dont want either associated. It does give me options to RETRIEVE a login via email, so maybe the account creation via email has been taken away.
Guess it was too easy to create throwaway accounts to be used by criminals.
Apologies, I'd forgotten my phone number is hidden away in my account security. But it is not the number of the phone I normally use, and is not accessible to viewers of my page. I have no link to my FB page; I never use that to open an account.Quote:

Gave WeChat a go last year but couldn’t get into the way it worked, looked up a few shop rosters, but never really knew how to use it properly, deleted it
What about Line? Anyone communicate with ML/WL through Line? Any risks using Line with privacy?
if you press like on something all your contacts knowQuote:

They will give you an address and then direct you to the nearest 7/11 to buy these cards and then you need to send the card number to them first..
I guess if your stupid enough to do that, then you deserve to be scammed!!
Just a warning to the bro’s out there, stay clear!
I can almost never get a reply. What's a guaranteed line to write in the greeting to get a good response?
Nothing is guaranteed, but a good photo usually catches their eye first up. I've had a few contacts who claimed that they were attracted by my "personaility" in the photo.Quote:
