He wasn’t loud or anything.

He’s a good actor! I got scammed… no,” posted an Instagram user. “It’s a scam, has happened to two of my friends,” shared another. “Dude, this happened to me,” joined a third.

He said his ser also committed suicide,” posted an individual. “I had faced something similar. What I did was, gave my business card and asked the guy to reach out with valid documents.

I wish there was a way to differentiate,” shared another.
