They/he are playing you. Everything about this smells fishy. ABSOLUTELY.

Yeah biggest sign was that she deleted the profile when i asked for the special selfie finally. Idk what the end goal was tho. I'm guessing they were hired by the website to keep people engaged and look at ads.

The end goal usually revolves around money. Establish that she is a doctor and thus gainfully employed. Then concoct an emergency where she doesn't have access to funds and needs to borrow, with you coming as the knight in shining armor to save the one you love, and her promising to pay you back. Rinse and repeat.

Or it can be a creep getting thrills out of fooling people.

I don't believe it was about scamming me out of money. Tbh i've seen ads for jobs that claim to be "website moderator" but in actuality you get paid 70 cents for each sexual message you send to someone, thus the longer you keep them on the hook the more you earn. My mistake was that the person seemed too genuine to me. There was even periods where they didn't msg me for a few days.

Fuck sake, I got a message today saying it's her and she wants me to know that she's still alive, but her health has taken a big downturn.
