The Congolese man was a personal assistant to a South African celebrity when the woman targeted him:

"There was no love. It was about who I was and who I was associated with."

The mystery hun lied and claimed to be a buyer for the luxurious brand Hugo Boss. She made her claims believable by posting fashion content and travel vlogs.

The trouble started when Ferreira asked to meet up and was always disappointed. The woman played games with him by lying, gaslighting, and being manipulative:

"This isn't a Reddit story; it's actually something I experienced."
