Just got *these exact same pictures* from "Agnes Jansson" at janage2023@gmail.com -- sadly, I 50% thought she might be real at first, because:

1. She said she was from Sweden and had found my email address in a forum (although suspiciously didn't say where).
2. I *actually* did start learning Swedish recently and posted on several penpal websites (which don't directly expose my email, but...)

I was 50% convinced she was a scammer at first but I replied because I'm overly nice and thought I'd give her the benefit of the doubt, but:

A. I wrote to her completely in Swedish and she replied only in English.
B. She wrote kind of a lot without actually *saying anything* (you know what I mean).
C. Finally she sent these pictures, which I reverse-image searched at TinEye and found this website, and *these exact pictures*.

Anyway, I'm dumb but I guess no real harm done, and I wouldn't have ever sent any money in a million years anyway.

Briefly explain what happened during the scam. : I got this email first (from the Outlook address):

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Agnes Jansson and I'm from Sweden. I am writing to you today to request a pen pal friendship. I have always been fascinated by the idea of having a pen pal, and I believe that it would be a great opportunity to learn about new cultures and exchange ideas with someone from a different part of the world.If you are open to the idea, I would love to exchange letters and get to know you better. We could talk about anything and everything, from our daily lives to our interests and hobbies. I believe that this could be a truly enriching experience for both of us, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,

Agnes
