Description

She "Olivia" claimed to be the daughter of Arte Oro and said she launched her own high-end jewelry company in Los Angeles in 2017, after raising funds with her aunt in New York. Despite presenting the business as a luxury brand, it appeared to have little actual commercial activity. Our interaction began with a “wrong number” text, but she quickly transitioned into casual conversation and suggested continuing on WhatsApp. She immediately sent a photo of herself and began narrating her day in detail. Her messaging followed a familiar pattern—describing a lavish lifestyle, frequenting Beverly Hills golf courses, and referencing an assistant who worked for her. She mentioned having few friends and often tried to steer the conversation toward investing and gold, though I consistently deflected by expressing disinterest in money. It became clear she was attempting a scam, though I found the exchange oddly entertaining. She didn’t seem to recall that she had tried a similar approach with me months earlier. I requested a video call, which she eventually agreed to, though her responses during the call were vague and evasive. While I couldn’t confirm if she was using AI, the visuals matched the photos and office she had previously shared. The next day, she told a story about playing 18 holes at Beverly Hills with her assistant and sent photos, including one of her golf swing. She also claimed to have had lunch with friends at American Harvest restaurant near the course and sent a snapshot as proof. Her descriptions felt AI-generated—polished but impersonal. Later, she said she planned to go to Manhattan Beach with friends, but her assistant canceled. She then opened up more about her personal life, including her ex-husband and her journey to independence. Despite continuing to push investment topics, I didn’t engage. Eventually, her tone shifted—she became combative and began criticizing my job, seemingly out of frustration that her efforts weren’t working. The conversation originally began with a “wrong number” text on day one, but she quickly suggested continuing on WhatsApp. I shared the number she claimed belonged to her assistant, though she also used another number—(213) 827-5865—which closely resembles those associated with known scams. If you find her, give her an Oscar. Her (Olivia) story should be sold as a Netflix Special.
