Romance Scams & The Hunter

Only by diligent study can thou learn the ways of Truth.

The next day after our call, my mentor, Big Ant, texted me a JPEG that read, ‘Signs of a Scam.’ He regularly illustrated the dumb mistakes I’ve made when trusting others. His business brilliance and wisdom had saved me a lot of grief over the years.

Big Ant’s text message prompted my frequency to drop, fear coursed through my body, and a pit of anxiety formed in my tummy. I was now having an anxiety attack, a common occurrence after all the banning, digital assassinations, betrayal, fuckery, and censorship I’ve experienced under the Rona Regime — a condition I call CANCEL PTSD.

At this point, I didn’t realize that I had perpetuated a ….
