The author, Kim Diggs, recounts her experience of using a language-learning app called HelloTalk in the summer of 2015. Seeking to improve her Spanish and learn Haitian Creole, she came across a user named Stanley, whose profile picture and flirtatious messages quickly captivated her.
Despite her initial reservations about his appearance and the speed of their connection, Kim pursued a long-distance relationship with Stanley. Over time, he manipulated her emotionally and financially, eventually convincing her to wire him nearly $1,000.
The article highlights Kim's naivety and desperation to escape her unfulfilling job and living situation, which made her vulnerable to Stanley's deception. It serves as a cautionary tale about the risks of online interactions, particularly on language-learning platforms that may not have robust safety measures in place.
