Reports :

The different accounts may present completely different occupations, locations, and personal histories. Scammers can use this method to target many victims while hiding behind the same stolen face. The approach may begin with a follow, friend request, or direct message on social media. Once the victim responds, the conversation may move to WhatsApp, Telegram, or another private messaging app. The scammer may then build romantic trust or introduce business and investment opportunities. Money requests can involve emergencies, investments, cryptocurrency, or gift cards. When one profile is reported or blocked, another can be created under a different name.
