Samantha told viewers, “Someone tried to get into my DMs saying, ‘Hey, sorry for the weird approach, I just have a question.'”
Samantha wrote the person back and they replied by asking her where she lives, how old she is, and what she does for a living.
Samantha said, “Already a weird start.”

Things got weirder when the person offered to pay the TikTokker to talk to her and she told viewers, “At that point, I straight up ask them, ‘Are you asking me to be a sugar baby right now?’”
The mystery person said they were just looking for a “text buddy” to talk to and to spoil
Samantha looked up the term “text buddy” and learned that it’s part of a well-known scam.
She blocked the person and told viewers, “Stay safe out there, y’all.”
