Just scammed a man

Who was harrasing me sexually.

What chu think

Be serious. What do you think?

Sorry!. ill explain.

I was browsing this dating app and kept receiving messages from this old man for 3 days in a row calling me beauty and sending D pics, I ignored them, today in the morning the man called me by my name, he said ''Hi xxxxx, I like you, and sent a pic of me which he had found on tinder.

He talked alot about how much he wanted to F me and would pay me, and asked when we could do things, I said... Yeah ill be free in 3 hours, I sent him a random address, and that I wanted to be paid in google play cards cause I like games, then I took a nap... Hours later he messaged me that he bought it and I was like, WTF DID HE REALLY?, he asked if I was ready to, I said:

-Sorry im at college, will be free in about 40 mins.
he replied with an ok, im outside your house waiting.
He kept asking how much longer, I told him that the teacher was keeping us busy with his complains and that I was very bored, with so I proceeded with ''Hey can i have the code so I can play while class finish?, so boring over here'', He sent it and said, will be waiting for you outside my love. It was a $100 Google play code, quickly redeemed it, bought stuff in my game, went back to the app and I said:
-Yo, im a fake profile.
Him: So you just stole $100 from me
-Sorry bud, try to not get too horny with random pics you can easily find on google next time.
I blocked him, deleted the app, bought a VPN PRO and now im using it changed my location for security, now im here semi happy cause I got a super special p2w character in my game and im so top player now omg and now im here on basil feeling weird.

I'd post pics of all this crap, but yeah im very paranoid atm, maybe later when I calm down.

This is how I feel right now

My opinion both are in the wrong here. He was wrong for harassing you in the first place. Sending nudes and stalking your profiles is just plain out creepy. In a way he deserved what you done since he was more or less stalking you. Which could have ended up badly. I believe that he should have had something bad happen to him for what he done as what he did was borderline criminal.

Now on your part when you sign up for a dating site you should already know there are going to be some creeps on there. With that in mind you should take precaution on what type of information you are putting up on your profiles. Only allow people you wish to talk to with your real information until you further get to know the person. What you should have done was just block the person all together and report for harassment. Giving a fake address and stealing money from him was just wrong. Giving out a fake address could have put someone else in jeopardy as well. If he was a true stalker he might have went further and put you in more unnecessary problems involving other people.

Stealing money from him was karma toward his harassment but you really shouldn't be stealing money from anyone regardless of the situation. Like they say two wrongs don't make a right. So in point it's best to just be careful next time you use online dating sites and expect these type of things since you joined that site in the first place to locate dates. Block people who are harassing you and just move on. No need to go through all that risk just to get some extra cash out of it. Things can go far worse next time for both of you.

you were on a dating app so you can't not expect messages like that. You did steal from him but he is an idiot for believing you

@caca: Two wrongs don't make a right, that's the real answer.

@andreaverilia
You don't stumble on a dating app to talk normally to people, you'd have to expect to get some weirdo every now and then, also I don't recall you saying anywhere that you told him to stop, so I don't think he even knew you were affected by what he was doing, so in law it might not even fall under harassment, just saying.

As for whether or not your scam is justified; I don't think it was at all warranted or necessary, but there's a modicum of justification in it, if it were to happen to me, I wouldn't have done it, that's just me though.

I don't remember but I posted my picture on basil in post your picture thread or something. This guy might of saw it here and constantly message: you're cute. It still happens, i just ignore it.

My grade two teacher always said that two wrongs don't make a right (or maybe that was Marge Simpson, I forget). Anywho, point is I think I probably would have done the same thing, except I would have tried to get more out of that sucker.

tbh even though that was sorta low of you to scam him, i find it justifiable since he was harassing you, and you said this was an old guy right? it seems likely he would have targeted you if you were underage, so that's what he gets for harassing you. does this guy live in the same city as you? you could always report him to the cops cause i'd imagine that he also does this to many other girls.

as for anyone who thinks it isn't justifiable, which one is worse? sexually harassing someone and sending them d pics, or scamming $100? the answer should be obvious

high five, you did well

@masinko: Alright, that's fair to say. Slightly iffy wording is all.

@wolfexe: I should clarify, I agree with you that it was a fked up move. I think it's semi-justifiable. My bad!

@masinko: Oh no no, I'm not saying it was justifiable. Neither action is justifiable

I agree with @wolfexe, you scamming him $100 was a fked up move. To me, it's semi-justifiable with how he was harassing you.

good for you

@thiefy996: a lot of people actually/ use them for hook ups which is what the guy was trying to do i.e tinder

the guy should have just caught the hint and moved on after you didnt reciprocate

@andreaverilia: I just gave my thoughts on it. Thank you for not taking my words as a personal attack. That happens sometimes where I answer and end up made out to be the bad guy. rarely in these kinds of things is anyone completely blameless.

@wolfexe: That is relieving to read, I felt like he deserved something for harrasing me, I suppose he got my name from tinder, in the other dating app I put a different name.

@andreaverilia: Thanks. Having read that it seems like he was a bit out of line sending pictures that weren't wanted. Though I'm going to have to also put out the idea that making an account on a dating site when you're not looking to and taking money from people hoping to find someone is pretty low. Did he get your actual name, or was that just the fake profile name? If he had your actual name, that's kind of creepy actually. But I personally feel that taking his money like that is as much of a scumbag move as his trying to buy you.

I don't have much to say on it. There's not much told. Explain the situation in more detail please.
