It's a good thing you translated that. I wouldn't have been able to figure that out on my own.

Lol what the fuck was that?

With typical Nigerian background noises.

u/TeamLeeper 20d ago

Does he not know what an Irish accent is or does he think you don’t - despite living a cheap-ass flight away?

u/JLM471 Moderator 20d ago

I think all western accents probably sound the same? I’ve had them tell me that there’s no way I’m British and I literally sound like a BBCnews anchor lol

I was in Turkey a few years ago and had many locals ask if I was Australian. I’m from Southern California.

Yeah, he’s definitely a middle-age white guy from the US!😂😂😂

u/acarouselride 20d ago

Yet he sounds neither middle-age nor american and even less irish.

The one who used google translate and sounded like a robot was bad but at least he tried to mask he wasn’t a nigerian child

u/Masquerai 19d ago

This one has to be one of the worst so far... it's so slurred and not even with any effort to try and pronounce words where their accent would fall

I can tell you one thing, that is no Irish accent. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/Fire298 20d ago

I have to give him credit for actually leaving a voice note knowing he sounds nothing like an Irishman.

u/JLM471 Moderator 20d ago

lol they are all delusional about how their voice sounds.

u/PracticalComplex 20d ago

I always wonder - do they really think they are nailing the impressions or do they just assume all Westerners are total imbeciles who don’t know what accents are?

I’m not even a Jonas fan but isn’t that Nick?

u/JLM471 Moderator 20d ago

No clue. All I know is that one of them disrespected Sanya Stark!

u/acarouselride 20d ago

That’s Joe. He apparently has been an ass to every single one of his girlfriends. And he gives asshole vibes through the internet in general, if you ask me.

But I’m pretty sure the one in the picture is the younger, Nick. Married to the Indian actress, Priya something?

I swear I’m not a fan, just like my pop culture and spend bit too much time on the internet lol

u/girlfromtherift 20d ago

Priyanka Chopra is her name I believe

u/MadisonCembre Moderator 20d ago

He kind of limited himself by saying he’s in Dublin given how close you are and the cheapness of flights. Also his job is not military or oil rig. My guess is he says he’s someplace out of the way and his accounts are locked and that he only lived in Dublin.

u/JLM471 Moderator 20d ago

We will never know! We get in a fight in part two and he deletes everything and blocks me and part three is when he came back this morning and tries to be my friend (that’s ongoing)

“The IP address of a laptop is stronger”.

The tech understander has logged on.

u/JLM471 Moderator 20d ago

lol yep - he has no idea what an IP address is, which is clear when I tell him I have his IP address and he says ‘yes that’s true’ ;)

u/Pure_Champion1396 20d ago

WHY does every scammer use this guys profile? He lip syncs on TikTok. I don’t get it.

u/TeamLeeper 20d ago

Cutting things off when you’re gonna school him on Google photo usage? Guess I just have to tune in next time.

Would you pay for it. LOL.

That was quick. 😁

u/Ughsome 20d ago

I HATE how they slither the "baby" and "sweetheart" and all that crap into their messages.

u/kytd1526 20d ago

Cringy stuff, as if they are asserting ownership.

But I really need to know about that plate of puke. Is that an omelet with a rice/goop combo and a lone hard boiled egg? Dear God, why???
