Regarding scamming I suspect you are correct. I actually think I was scammed a few months ago for some gift cards as a deposit by someone on Tryst. I’m not upset about it , it wasn’t much , yand I’d have to write a short story to explain. She had an elaborate website and active twitter but her travel schedule seemed off. She did have reviews going back a number of years on TER which leads me to believe she was real but what you say about AI makes me wonder.
