It is just traditional fraud that they are doing there. You should report them to the police even it's small money for you. The police will appreciate the data points.

As an aside, I've been hunting down some Tinder leads. just yesterday I had a compelling offer. $500 for an attractive girl to stay overnight. $250 by PayID prior to arrival. She said she would do everything, blah blah blah. But I just know it was too good to be true. SO it was a scammer and she(he) didn't get my money.



@sporty32 did you talk to them via voice call? prior to sending your money
