My Bad
So, the OP, a young woman, never replied to the text messages of some internet creep. Good for her; if you ignore the problem, it’ll go away, right? Well, not exactly. This guy seems to have doubled down on his efforts to get with this woman by showing off his wealth in the “sneakiest” way possible.
Somehow, he sent a message to the OP where he claims he sent his dear mother $2,800. Is he trying to show her that he has that kind of money to give away or that he loves his mother with all his heart? Whatever the case, she could totally see through the BS.
