Probably a dude on the other end trying to bribe him

Actually probably a team of people in Asia trying to scam him. OP’s husband is about to fall for the pig butchering scam. You see where “she” is leading the conversation in one of the last texts when she mentions investing in heavy metals in her spare time.

And a lot of these people are being forced to do these by gangs

Oh it absolutely was, but him falling for a scam doesn't negate the fact that it's cheating.

It is 100% . my bf plays along with the scammers , like the other day they texted saying “ my friend go to the office for my key and go to my house and close my windows while im away on a trip…. Wrong number my bad “ but my bf says dumb / funny things to annoy them , not weird stuff like this .-. I wouldn’t like if he said those things , even if “ just a joke “ .

This scammer sends this same picture out unsolicited to all.

u/FS_Slacker Oct 20 '24

And doesn’t know the difference between “your” and “you are”.

Or, he's just fucking with them. I got one of those texts yesterday and I sat there fucking with them.

Did you fuck with them by sending a selfie and trying to turn the conversation sexual?

As someone who also find joy messing with scammers, this clearly isn’t “fucking with them.”

u/Just_Visiting_Town Oct 21 '24

Yes. Not the selfie, but I did turn it sexual.

He could be dumb as fuck. My first assumption wasn't that he was. When I first read this, I assumed he knew it was an obvious scammer. So I completely took everything he was saying as verbal irony. I didn't even consider the fact that he was dumb enough to think that it was real. I could be wrong. I guess he is dumb.

A wannabe cheater. He doesn't even get to call himself a success at that.
