He’s not an acquitance. He or she or they could be anyone. You need to call it how it is. You talk to strangers online. That’s about it. Not someone you’ve met etc If you think what you are doing is appropriate, does your husband know? |

Scammers often work in groups and they have to coordinate to keep stories consistent. And they eventually will ask for money or want to steal identity or other nasty reasons.
Or they use AI as previous poster suggested But let’s say it’s a man. No decent man would be randomly searching for married women to interact online unless he’s a scammer or a troll |

He also wanted to help me find a job too. No joker would do that. They gave me very specific advice about lawyers for example. I doubt that a troll would waste to much time trying to give out advice. |

As Tart said it could be AI or could be a person. It is not even important. Bottom line is you don’t know who this person or people are. No he wasn’t going to find you a job or be your friend. And no you know nothing about this person or people.

There’s nothing wrong imo with having online friends, I’ve got a few people I talk to on here who I’ll likely never meet. But it’s a good idea never to give out personal or identifiable information unless you’re sure someone is who they say they are. |

Probably because reverse image search on Google would discover those pictures whereas if you steal privately sent pictures, those will be unique and not discocersble elsewhere.

TinEye Reverse Image Search
This is the search engine. It’s super easy to use. How can I protect myself against identity fraud if I share pics online? Anyone can steal pics if it’s not watermarked. Aside from not sending pics, what are my options? |

You seem to spend a lot of energy either defending this guy or arguing minor points. Why? Do you still want to continue talking to him or something? |

I was asking about the pics because I’m curious about that. And the stuff about A.I & motives. |
