Dunno cuz I didn’t take the bait but they wanted to meet for coffee and they also wanted to invest they said.

This was someone pretending to be a Hong Kong chick currently traveling in LA and looking to visit JC. But didn’t know anything about JC. so probably just going to random city subs and doing this

I would be impressed. It seems like real convo, they follow up and ask more personal questions etc.

At the end they said they were wanting to invest in my field.

They tried to take offline, also said they wanted to meet in person etc.

Pretending to be a woman visiting town.

Seems like they are trying to scam people.

Could totally just be locals. But seems like English is not their first language.

I engaged to see what it was about. First I legit thought it was a tourist asking the mod about local sites.. but when they said they wanna have coffee lol I was like ok stranger female trying to have coffee with me this is a scammer lemme see what the scam is.

I started acting silly and less interested and they also lost interest

Reply to NJIT @ Jersey City? Is this new? When did this come about? by mooseLimbsCatLicks

https://www.roi-nj.com/2019/12/20/education/njit-cuts-ribbon-on-jersey-city-location-with-35-students-and-plans-for-many-more/

Apparently opened in 2019? But with 35 students and plans to increase to 500 in 3 years which is now. So I’m seeing targeted ads. Maybe they are following through

Also found an institute for future technologies partnering with Ben Gurion University? https://news.njit.edu/njit-ben-guiron-university-unveil-home-institute-future-technologies

That’s the second Israeli university to strike a deal for a facility in Jersey City .

This is cool. The city needs more high level schools, here is hoping NJIT and even Steven’s continue to expand into JC.

Reply to Where to park to go to Manhattan by babybench

Do this instead Secaucus Junction

County Ave, Secaucus, NJ 07094

Coming to JC then back up is a bit out of your way.

You’ll save maybe 45 min this way. The secaucus train station has a train to Manhattan every few minutes and it has a parking lot. And it’s less driving for you and more direct to Madison square garden.
