It happened today, I was in daze and just wanted one person to just talk to and in that daze I was blinded by that desire.

I ended up giving my WhatsApp number and age to a scammer, but my incessant babbling was helpful as they kept trying to be insistent and even got aggressive on the point of payment and it was like the haze was lifted.

I told them I was going to block them as instinctive retort in indignation, , reported the number on WhatsApp for fraud, reported the number to the ftc ( which i know can be spoofed), locked my Sim, added fingerprint and facial recognition.

Blocked the person on the app I used, deleted the account and uninstalled.

I alsoI didn’t have a profile picture on WhatsApp although I do still fear they might have extracted enough data from me in my stupidity as I left a review, and I am in paranoia mode that I gave them a too much information already.

I don’t know if it is mental decline or I have been mentally fighting for so long that my brain was working on autopilot

Just please don’t be like me, this environment is a safe enough place and I was in the desire for human contact and even when I could see it was scam before, it did not register as scam in the moment.
