The Message That Knew My Name

It started with a message I couldn't read.
Written in a language I didn't understand... from someone I thought I did.
What began as a harmless conversation turned into something deeper, something consuming - attention that felt real, trust that felt safe, and a connection I didn't realize was carefully designed.
This is the story of how I was drawn in, how I didn't see the signs, and how manipulation doesn't feel like manipulation when it's happening to you.
Because scams don't target stupidity.
They target humanity.
