Everyone, please hear me out…

Have you heard of a site called “Mistress Message Board”? I posted an ad there and received messages from several people, but every single one of them made no sense… 《Person #1》 He asked if we could talk on the phone because he wanted to discuss the terms. I said I didn’t have time for a call, so we should discuss things by email. He replied that he thought hearing each other’s voices would make us both feel more comfortable, then asked when I’d be available to talk and whether I could give him my phone number so he could call me. When I said I would call him, so he should give me his number, he said his workplace was basically a family business and that they shared a smartphone, so he would call me instead. I suggested exchanging LINE IDs and using LINE calls, but then he stopped replying. What was that about? Was he just messing with me? Or was he some kind of operation trying to obtain my phone number? 【Person #2】 He asked to exchange LINE IDs and suggested having a LINE call. We were talking on the phone when, all of a sudden, the call cut off mid-conversation. I thought, “Huh?” and immediately called back, but he didn’t answer—and I’d been blocked. What on earth was that? 😭 【Person #3】 He asked me to send him a photo. After I did, he said, “Someone I’m currently talking to sent me this exact photo too.” While I was sitting there thinking, “Wait, what? What?” he said, “I don’t deal with liars!” and ended the conversation. I honestly have no idea what any of these people were about. Were they all just messing with me? I could understand it if someone had a grudge against me, but this was my first time using the “Mistress Message Board,” and I hadn’t even posted a photo or profile… Does this happen often?
