#2I know it’s sad and scary to get death threats.
But having a gay guy have a wide following of women in love with him is hilarious

#3Things I didn't realize I should be thankful for #2,500,231:
My face will never ever be used for a romance scam.

#5Upsetting that in an article all about photos being used to scam people, there's not a single sample of an offending image!
I mean, I think I get why. But still, it's the first thing I want to see when I read a story like this.

#6The woman calling the guy her fiance is pretty sad and a total failure on her parents' behalf.
You dont get engaged with or attempt to marry someone you've never met in person.

#7I have been constantly harrased by accounts with pretty girl pictures on LinkedIn, wish they could do something.
Why did I know they are fake?
One, I'm not handsome, neither do I work in those high status companies, why did they reach out to me?
Two, they look more like models than software engineers. Completely bullshit.

Yeah, I had to do a google to guess what the images might look like. https://www.google.com/search?q=James+Scott+Geras&tbm=isch

#9For me, the most fascinating part is about women refusing to accept they've been scammed or wanting a relationship with the men whose pictures were stolen, even though some of them are gay.
It is quite similar to cult followers like QAnon. They want to believe desperately on what is comforting discarding what is reasonable.
My Brazilian family of Bolsonaro supporters camping in front of barracks demanding a coup-d'etat is an example of it, similar to Republicans that believe in the Big Lie.
Most people love comforting and convenient lies and don't like uncomfortable truths.

Those are just the auditors; the audit firms send charismatic and attractive people around so that the people whose work they're checking will let their guard down.
