I suspect a scammer in my messages, what should I do?
Some warning signs pop up when a person claims to have a higher education but uses incorrect or weird sentence structure, repeats words like “interesting”, person says “dear” or “sweetie” and “hugs and kisses” or “xoxoxox” assuming you don’t have a problem with it. They claim they have the freedom to relocate anywhere because of “contracting” for their job. They attempt to redirect questions. Then they get all righteous and butt hurt with you because you want to be honest letting them know this sounds familiar and claim they may sound like a scammer.
What should be done?

This is one of those report, block and ignore situations. If they are scammers they will be outed and dealt with eventually. There is no reason to dick around with them and it keeps you out of the crapstorm that goes along with trolls and scammers. Of course if you enjoy the drama, have at. I just don't see any good reason for it myself.
