That's absolutely no reason to feel naive. Many scammers are actually working for organisations which send out hundreds of thousands or even millions of messages and emails every month: they use a scattergun approach and just wait to see who replies, then sound you out to see if you're likely to fall for it or not - they haven't selected you especially for any reason and, as you say, they clearly rapidly realise you're too intelligent for them to continue trying. That's something to feel proud about!

I understand I have been reported in that group. I am no scammer. I have been a contributing member of agnostic.com for a year and am a member of the senate.

Just for the record

Just use common sense like you do, of course, in real life/answering the phone, etc.

It’s what they do. They have rooms of men sitting at computers in third world countries using stolen pics.
Become a member of the groups, learn their MO’s so you can protect yourself and our community by extension.

I need to see what one of these scammer profiles looks like. Where can I find the Watchers Group?

You might also like to see "Dirty John" on Netfix. Based on a true story.

Don't feel naive. These scammers are professionals, they have honed their skills to the max. You recognized them so no need to feel bad.
