This is the story of how I was almost fooled by someone pretending to be a friend online. It started with a simple friend request on a popular social media platform. The profile picture and name were familiar—it was an old friend I hadn’t spoken to in years. We exchanged a few messages, catching up on life, and it felt great to reconnect. But as the conversation progressed, my friend started asking for small favors—things like sharing a post, clicking on a link, or even helping them out with a quick loan until payday.
