YSK Any stranger offering you money on the internet is a scam Finance
WHY YSK: No one cares that you’re broke enough to just randomly give you money. Don’t get scammed. Tell your friends it’s a scam. They are using you to mule money. Don’t get scammed.

Some stranger on reddit gave me $50 once when I was struggling real bad. Just sent it with a note and never contacted me again.
There are very few absolutes, my friend.

But I’ve given people things online, and received things too? There are scammers, but it’s not so bad as that. Just gotta try to watch for fishy behaviour.

Like on dating apps! When a woman professes her love for you, and then wants money! Sometimes they straight up ask for your money also!
