Scammer added me on Facebook, and we started chatting before moving to WhatsApp. They hinted at wanting a partner and engaged in discussions about interests.

A few days later, the scammer asked for help with a part-time job, claiming it was taking up too much of their time. I initially declined but stayed in contact. Eventually, they asked to meet and brought up the part-time job again.

I decided to take a look, and their request was as follows:

1. Contact Cartier at +65 8194 8??? via WhatsApp.
2. An automated message would provide a Cartier product URL.
3. Take a screenshot and send it.
4. An automated message would return supposed client details and an account number.
5. Make a payment through PayNow.

The scammer promised that the money would be returned within minutes.

I did not make the payment and responded to the scammer. They continued trying to persuade me, claiming they had been doing this for two years. This ordeal wasted a few weeks of my time and gave me some false hope, but at least I didn't lose any money.
