✅ How to Use This List:
- If you see “Morning Beautiful” or “Gorgeous” within the first 1–2 messages, paired with love-bombing or urgency, it’s almost always a red flag.
- Combine this with no in-person meeting, secrecy, or rapid intimacy, and you’re likely dealing with a scammer.
- Save the list for quick reference — it helps spot patterns before investing time or emotion.
