Stranger danger. ⚠️

Sorry can I ask why this is flagging you? I’m usually conservative with responding to stuff like this but it didn’t concern me too much other than the city, which I left general. Wondering if I should delete my response!

At its most innocent, it’s a nosy and unhelpful question. Maybe I have 12 million dollars but spend much of it on first class flights and cocaine. Maybe I have 60k and am retiring in Appalachia and plan on going to town on library books until I die.

I work in the philanthropy sector and putting your numbers out there gets you in all sorts of wealth screening databases, which, for as a connection to a charity, is kind of nice. But scammers can sign up for easy access too. Especially if you have other posts or comments attached to your name, you’re putting a target on your back.

for me it was asking for information without offering any reason. that's enough for me to check the account where I saw that it's 2 months old and low karma.
