いつかs, the person （人命などを）奪う，主張するs it's the wrong number ― or they just liked your profile picture. They're friendly and chatty.?

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't keep talking if I 攻撃する，衝突する the wrong number.

Fattening the pig: This is where money changes 手渡すs ― but only a small 量.?

The person might send you a ビデオ, photos or even an account to スピードを出す／記録につける in to where you can see how 井戸／弁護士席 your 投資 is going.?

Slowly but surely, they'll 納得させる you to 追加する more and more to the account.

虐殺（する）: Now you're 納得させるd and have 投資するd even more. At this 行う／開催する／段階, 犠牲者s can be in for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.?

Higher 逮捕する-価値（がある）的s might have millions sitting with the scammer.?
