I'm sorry to be the 持参人払いの of bad news, Jim. This is a classic pig butchering scam.?

I know it all feels like things just fell into place ― and that's the point.

How am I so sure? What's happening here is に引き続いて the exact script these 犯罪のs use. I'll 輪郭（を描く） it for you.

冷淡な outreach: It starts with a 無作為の text, friend request, DM or comment.?

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.

Feeding time: Your new friend slowly builds up your 信用.?

They want to know about your life, maybe send you photos and tell you about what they're in.?
