I've had two different people doing it, messaging me pretending to be friends (honestly happens a lot regardless of their intentions)

They play nice, overly nice, try to act like their genuine but randomly want to see what you look like, or "can't talk on reddit" and need your number.

The two I've talked to kept making mistakes with their stories, inconsistent about what they say ect. They send pictures to make you believe they're some single young women, but reverse image search shows it's some old pictures stolen from small twitters or something.

This is how I always confirmed it, randomly needing numbers and making up not getting messages ect. Is suspicious 

But sending fake pictures,  continuing to act as if it's them, trying to gain trust...it kinda makes it obvious, nobody genuine would be doing this.

It might be hard to tell from genuine people, just be careful and don't share your info..

Never say anything after I bring it up of course, if it wasn't ill intentioned then just Don't share a picture like anyone else instead or a fake one.

I have nobody to talk to, sucks the ones who talk to me are always some fake trying to get information
