Description

"Luna" befriended me on an app called Lex and recommended me to her sugar momma "Makayla". I talked to Makayla using the TextfFree app with a fake phone number since I didn't completely trust her. Makayla offered a photo of herself to seem transparent. She was suspicious, but personable enough to carry a conversation. She promised financial support, but at the request that I send her $50 via Paypal first. At that point I knew she was a scammer. Luna and Makayla had different texting styles, but both used the word "to" as a proposition when it should've been used as an adverb (e.g. "I like you to" or "I'm tired to"). Luna claims to work at a Hooters and Makayla claims to live in North Carolina. Luna's profile picture is that of a young naturally red haired woman, and Makayla's photo was also that of a naturally red haired woman.
