Chapter 2

I opened my phone and carefully examined that account, comparing it to my brother's account. If I hadn't already added my brother, even I might not have been able to tell the difference.

Even the Snapchat account was strikingly similar, with only a few digits different.

From the Snapchat space to the message board and signature, everything was identical.

"I just joined the freshman group, and he immediately added me. Looks like this isn't his first time."

My brother nodded at my words.

"So how do we deal with this bastard?"

"Hold off until school starts."

My brother exclaimed, "By then, how many girls will he have victimized in my name!"

"If we expose him now, he'll just stop targeting me. Can you catch him? He'll just block me and move on to the next victim, won't he?"

My brother was a straightforward engineering guy. Ask him to unravel the mysteries of the universe, easy. But ask him to handle intricate matters, it's like asking for his life.

"So how do you plan to respond?"

I typed a few words on the keyboard, then deleted them.

"Bro, give me five bucks."

My brother almost kicked me.

"Did your IQ drop to zero after the college entrance exam? You're not really going to pay for my photos, are you?"

I was thinking, compared to dating and scamming for emotions, this kind of scammer would definitely prefer to have a sucker willing to give him money. This would be the best way to keep him around.

"I can't give you much, don't let that idiot enjoy too much."

Though my brother complained, he still sent me a $50 gift on Snapchat. After all, Snapchat payments weren't mainstream, and he was afraid I'd give too much to that scammer.

"I know what I'm doing."
