FWB Scammers

Posted on April 7, 2026April 7, 2026 By Griz No Comments on FWB Scammers

Since this is an all ages site, I will handle this with some care.

FWB (AKA Friends With Benefits) Scammers are likely not trying to approach women, so ladies, perhaps this is one of the few bonuses for your sex.

I have interacted with a few of these scammers in the last week or so. (Please note: While I maintain a harem of scammers, it is as a professional and I take care in how I do this. I do not advise you interact with any suspected scammer.)

The premise of their scam is pretty simple. They are preying on gullible men and how their anatomy tends to leads them to do dumb things.  I suppose I could discuss that in far more detail on another of my sites.)

The setup is actually pretty simple.

  • You accept a friend request from a lovely young lady
    • If you look, you will likely find that they have no or few friends
    • Their account will be new
  • They will ask you where you are first. it is almost an opening line right after the greeting.
    • They want to get your location so that they can give you a nearby location for themselves.
    • If you do not tell them, but ask them where THEY are, they will ask you again.
      • Whatever location that you give, they will pick something close to there.
      • In my cases, I will tell them the Portland Oregon Metro area, it is not close enough to be a danger for me.
        • They responded with:
          • Canby
          • Vancouver (I was able to confuse them and they assumed BC not USA)
          • Renton
    • They may say that they are living with their sibling and watching their kids while the sibling is out of town or some other excuse.
    • They will ask if you are married
      • They really do not care if you are married since they will offer to be … intimate friends shall we say.
    • As you agree to be friends, all you need to do is head her way and buy a couple of Apply cards so that she can entice the kids to take them to go play video games at their friends house.
      • You just have to take really clear pictures of the Apple cards for her.
      •    
    • Once you send those pics, you have served your gullible purpose. You’re out the cash and your friend lost the benefits.
    • No huggie kissie for you.

If you pay close attention to their use of language, you will catch phrases that we do not use here in the US. From my observations they tend to be South East Asian, likely India.

Save yourself the headache… if you need company, go out and meet someone face to face. Take a chance on an actual relationship. If you do not want a relationship, just a one of thing, many other people are in the same boat if you are just open about it. Stay cybersafe my friends.
