I was approached on the Grindr app by a man claiming he wanted to send me money to pay my debts. He sent me an online check of $1,200 to deposit in my account (check is probably invalid, we will see) and then wanted me to send him money on Cash App right away to help an orphanage be able to get food. I stupidly sent $300 of my own money (as the check hadn't gone through yet, needing to be verified, taking 10 days before I will know if it is a valid check or not). Then he asked for more money to be sent, all before his "check" hadn't gone through into my account yet. All fishy and weird and I fell for the what I believe to be a scam. I don't think the mobile check he sent me is going to go through and I am just going to be out the money I already sent him. Don't be stupid like me and fall for someone who claims to want to give you money, but then start asking for it to be sent to weird places.
