For the other readers, here’s a bit more about call spoofing:
https://exchange.telstra.com.au/fake...%20few%20years.

I was chatting to a girl on a dating app recently who asked for my WhatsApp number which I provided.

It became evident fairly early in our conversation that she is a scammer of some sort - querying how my stock portfolio was going lol - obvious red flag.

I hope I’m not deluged with spam and robo-calls in future.
Thanks for sharing the article. That’s why there are so many girls asking to go to WhatsApp. I had one Asian lady who would not chat on SA and went to WhatsApp. When I started chatting with her she seemed to be too nice and friendly. Told me lived in Chatswood and from HK. Making investment here in Australia. I kept chatting till late at night. But in the morning I felt this is weird as she was way to friendly and sweet taking. I blocked her both on WhatsApp and the SA profile. There are two others I think I should do the same. One of them said she is from Japan and will be in Sydney next week. Wants to meet at her hotel. When I told her I am in Brisbane that day. I got a message the next day that her plans have changed and will be in Sydney the following week. Too much of a coincidence I say. Asian girls on the SA site are not easy to talk to. They carry a big chip on their shoulders. So Bella are ringing.

Suspicious profiles I came across and there are many

Sasha baby
AdorableDiva

Money Turns me on
Bhadbunny (I still chatted to her even after reading Riff888 comment)
Ocean (she kept asking for money for rego, asked her to meet but said was busy. Then send a message saying rely if you want to meet in hour)

Looks like it’s not too hard to use a honey trap for men. Any 16
year old could fake this online.
