A pretty Chinese woman sends me a friend request. She doesn't fit the pattern of the West African love scammers. No boobs, for a start. She seems pleasant enough, so I chat and wait for the scam to make itself apparent. It's much more subtle than the love scammers. In fact, to start with, if I didn't know it was a scam, I wouldn't be able to tell. Eventually she gets to the point. She has been investing in cryptocurrency and wants me to join in. Yu Qing Ning is clearly doing well, but sadly my friend Josef Vissarionovitch lost $200k in a recent crypto crash (there's always a recent example of people losing vast amounts). Miss Yu gives up and vanishes from my life. It seems that Miss Yu isn't for real, to my amazement. But I would never have guessed that she was a modern slave in a Burmese scam factory. Check out this CNN exposé Here's where Miss Yu comes from
