Reply to comment by bigbluewreckingcrew in Just a warning, been getting random private chat messages , seems like Chinese scam artists are trying to get people to give out info. Have had two so far . Pretended to be visiting from Hong Kong. Beware randos getting personal. by mooseLimbsCatLicks

Dunno cuz I didn’t take the bait but they wanted to meet for coffee and they also wanted to invest they said.

This was someone pretending to be a Hong Kong chick currently traveling in LA and looking to visit JC. But didn’t know anything about JC. so probably just going to random city subs and doing this
