Today(20:36 Yerevan time) a stranger stopped me on the street and asked for help with 20,000 AMD (about $53), saying he was in trouble and something had happened to his machine. I sent him the money via a card transaction, and he promised to return it in “2” — I did not fully understand whether he meant May 2 or 2:00 AM Yerevan time.

He gave me his phone number so I could call him if needed. He looked well-dressed and had the latest iPhone. He also showed me some Instagram page as proof that he was not just a random person (though I am not sure why that was necessary).

Now I am starting to feel suspicious. I dont understand why he didn’t just call his friends for help instead of asking strangers on the street.

I will not participate in this market.

That is all I know for now, will update if anything happens.
