I have a friend who has a internet SO who seems to be potentially a scam. He periodically gives her/him gifts, she/he was afraid to talk to any of his/her freinds for years, she/he dissapears randomly, her/his voice seems to be modulated and we belive my friend gives more gifts than she is leading on as her/his paycheques dissapear. When the SO says longer sentences it becomes glitchy and feed backy. I know it could be the SO has bad interner or a poop Mic but is there anyway to look for undertones of modulation so we have some proof or anything? Before potentially breaking his heart, as I dont want to but worry for him/her?..

    I think you’re approaching the wrong aspect. While that could be a scam where a man is impersonating a woman, there are plenty where it’s actually a woman running the scam. There are plenty of red flags here, and those don’t change.

    The problem is that I’m sure your friend is aware of those red flags. He’s also choosing to ignore them. I suspect he doesn’t do well with women IRL, and this at least gives him hope.

    Assuming that’s all true, this is way above the pay grade of random people on the Internet.

      We’ve approached him about it but we’re just trying to pick any avenue to interject…
