JFL Just need to buy oxygen bro

[The Notorious SLAV]

An 80-year-old woman in Japan sent the equivalent of $6,800 to a man she believed was an astronaut in orbit. He said he was low on oxygen. She thought they were in love.

Police in Hokkaido say the scam began in July after the woman met the man on social media. He claimed to be working for a space agency and told her he was stuck on a spacecraft circling Earth. Eventually, he messaged her that his ship was “under attack” and he was running out of air. He said he needed money to stay alive. From a…space oxygen/gas station equivalent?

She sent it.

The request came in the form of electronic money, a common tool in fraud cases. Investigators say the woman had developed romantic feelings for the man by then and believed she was helping someone she cared about. It was only after the money was gone that she contacted the police.

This isn’t even the first time someone has pulled this stunt. In 2022, another Japanese woman lost more than four million yen (about $27,089) to a man pretending to be a Russian astronaut who said he needed help covering “rocket fees” so they could get married once he landed.

There is no astronaut. There is no spaceship. And the only countdown was to the poor woman’s money disappearing...
