It pisses me off when people put Tl;dr, but please open with a clear sentence or introduction so I know what I'm about to read so my brain can process it all a bit better/ summarise clearly what happened at the end

TL;DR for OP: he got hustled because for some reason he trusted some rando with a metric f**k ton of rw goodies and stuff so that they could sell it for him.

TLDR: The user recounts their encounter with someone named SassySprite who appeared genuine at first but ended up scamming them for valuable items. Despite the loss, the user advises others to remain cautious in online interactions and emphasizes the importance of protecting assets. They acknowledge the presence of trustworthy individuals but caution against letting a few bad experiences sour the overall enjoyment. (CHATGPT GENERATED THIS)

Wasn't sassysprite in another scam like 1 month back? Have a feeling there was thread about it but not sure.

Anyway I guess some lessons are cheaper then others.

Yes, gaining trust for the explicit purpose of later taking advantage is exactly the definition of a scam, no need to call it something else. And using your guilt for not trusting the swindler against you is also pretty textbook.

Anyway, it may sound like silly behavior when you go through the facts of what happened, you can look back at it yourself half an hour later and be flabbergasted by your lack of judgement, but in the moment it's surprisingly easy to fall for it. Especially if you're not prepared for it. In real life people aren't primed to expect it and it makes it even harder to defend against. Torn is arguably a good playground to pick your own brain and analyze why and how this worked. Maybe it will come in handy in the future. Though of course one would rather hope it won't.

I really didn’t look at it from that angle. I would help anyone Male or female. Maybe I helped a more than because of the female, but at a friend level. It never really went past that.
