So, I recently upgraded from an S23 Ultra 1 TB to a S24 Ultra 1 TB, both in the same lime green, online only color which,.. I absolutely love! What I love even more, is the fact that Samsung FINALLY went from just the silver\chrome-ish fingerprint magnet surround on each side of the screen... to FINALLY having the option of a darker color that doesn't show fingerprints quite as much, if any at all!! That is probably one of my favorite features of this new S24 Ultra of mine, the lime green and the dark surround where you actually hold the phone is absolutely phenomenal and looks amazing!!! 👍🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👌🏼🤌🏼🔥🎯💯 Furthermore I'm not sure if anyone else is extremely OCD with their new phones like I am but literally instantly after taking the phone out of its box it gets wiped down with alcohol pad, then dried, then gets a tempered glass privacy screen protector as well as slapped directly into some sort of phone case, which in my case lately, has been some type of minimalist phone case I've always had an OtterBox defender series phone case which are very nice and offer and extreme amount of protection from drops and whatnot but I always find that they are a little bit of a pain in the ass to pull in and out of your pocket and I don't really use the phone holstebelt clip very often like I used to, so I discovered Latercase online in my searches and really liked the full carbon fiber minimalist style phone case which I wound up buying... I'm extremely careful when I'm handling my phone so the risk of dropping it or damaging it is very minimal really,.. And lastly, to give it that extra bit of durability I just bought rear camera metal caps / lens protectors from casemate they were a breeze to install They come in a little bezel I guess?.... It's extremely easy to line up then you just have to put a bit of pressure on each lens for the adhesive to seal and voila, you're good to go and they match the darker color surround of the phone screen quite well too! I was a bit worried that these camera lens bezels would be too big for my carbon Latercase, And I would have to do some trimming to the case itself in order to be able to install the case onto the phone... but thankfully and as the packaging says, they work with pretty much most cases, which worked for mine! 🙏🏼 I've been a die hard Samsung Note/S series user since the Galaxy Note 8 and have pretty much owned the flagship model of each new release since, absolutely love them.. so, if anyone is trying to find good phone protection for their S24 Ultra.. this case\lens protector combo works great and doesn't add very much bulk to the phone itself but does add some level of protection 👍🏼

So, I made a Vehicle Deck for pauper... and incredibly, it worked. Played it on a local tourney, won 2 out of my 3 games, and the game I lost was ironically against a deck my deck was well prepared to handle...
I just got nervous and played like absolute trash.
Here is the list: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/GCCLX2wVG0eEusHQoXZ-OA
The star of the deck is [[Renegade freighter]], that's why I would like to call the deck "train affinity".
https://preview.redd.it/5h5mgmmgzj5d1.jpg?width=393&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5cad3320cdd77724e6f86865d2390aa7ef7051cb
Background: I love cards that are different and can be clustered into small group, which is why I have all the Sagas that are playable in pauper, as well other things such as the familiar cycle. But Vehicles, being an arguably inviable mechanic always caught my eyes. Got them all as soon as I could, and always dreamt of making a deck with cards like [[Nezumi Road Captain]] or [[Kitsune Ace]].
Then one day while looking at old cards, [[Cinder Wall]] opened my eyes. One easy way to enable vehicles is by having strong creatures that can not attack but can Crew a Vehicle. My mind instantly went to [[Rotten Reunion]], a card which has strong utility against GY setup and is fairly efficient for it's cost. (one 2/2 creature for 1 CMC, then another 2/2 creature for 2 CMC) Given that red is capable of dishing a lot of damage fast (which works well with strong vehicles attacking early for 3/6 damage each turn) and black is able to draw a lot of cards (neccessary for a deck that needs to play Vehicles AND creatures), the identity of the deck was born: an Aggro Rakdos (B/R) deck.
Since the deck wanted to be aggressive, the idea was to keep ourselves on the low end of the vehicles mana-curve: motorcycle, trains and helicopters, no giant mechs. (sorry [[Thundersteel Colossus]]) These low cost Vehicles could also help get [[Galvanic Blast]] online, which is fantastic aggro card. But that also means that extra artifacts can help, which is where affinity comes into play: [[Frogmite]] works suprisingly well with low-curve Vehicles and artifact lands! Another free 2/2 that can crew our stuff.
Sadly, the vehicles were going to be an easy picking for pretty much any removal spell in the format (including both creature AND artifact removal), so the next idea was to find uses for the vehicles before they got derailed. Protection is not Red's or Black's forte, and while cards like [[Undying Evil]] or [[Offer Immortality]] exist, none of them looked particularly great to me. Instead, we can accept the inevitability of card destruction and try to gain advantage with the bodies we have: [[Deadly Dispute]] for extra card draw, [[Annihilating Glare]] for removal and [[Fling]] for extra face damage. Let me tell you, few things are more satisfying than flinging a [[Renegade freighter]] that has already dealt piercing damage for extra 5 points of damage!
Finally, thinking of taking advantage of all the self-sacrifices the deck was going to have, I wanted to include some "mind control" options to use my opponents creatures against them. Something akin to [[Bloody betrayal]], which also generates an artifact token. Also, the card [[The Shattered States Era]] looked particularly tempting to me. However, thanks to [this list over here] (thanks u/Lord_Rewex) I realised that [[Tenative Connection]] filled the role like a globe. The deck already runs [[nezumi Road Captain]], which gives us options with menace. Combined with the fact that the deck is hungry for artifacts, [[Goldhound]] is the perfect filler: cheap agro-oriented artifact with menace. May not sound like a lot, but that menace can give you 1 or 2 free hits, and force the opponent to make awkward defender choices.
The list:
Creatures (9): Frogmite x 4, Goldhound x 3, Cinder wall x 2
Vehicles (7): Renegade Freighter x 4, Flywheel Racer x 2, Sky Skiff x 1
Artifacts (4): Experimental Synthesizer x 3, Barbed Batterfist x 1
Sorcery (5): Tentative Connection x 2. Okiba Reckoner Raid//Nezumi Road Captain x 2. Annihilating Glare x 1
Instant (17): Lightning Bolt x 4, Galvanic Blast x 4, Rotten Reunion x 3. Deadly Dispute x 4. Fling x 2
Lands (18): Jagged Barrens x 4, Vault of Whispers x 4. Great Furnace x 4. Mountain x 4. Swamp x 2
Sidedeck: Flaring Pain x 2, Cast Down x 2, Breath Weapon x 2, Red Elemental Blast x 2, Gorilla Shaman x 1, Tentative Connection x 1, Reaping The Graves x 1, Relic of Progenitus x 1, Cast into the fire x 1, Makeshift Munitions x 1, Deface x 1
Conclusion:
The deck is clearly not perfect, and there might be some things to fine tune:
* Bridges? I think they might be too slow, and the ping for the crime-lines is not to be under-rated. 1 or 2 damage with this deck is usually game defining.
* Not sure about [[Experimental Synth]]. The deck has a few 3 mana cost cards which completely back-fire when drawn. [[Ichor Wellspring]] might be a better solution. (maybe)
* [[Kuldotha Rebirth]] MIGHT be a viable card. 3 tokens that can crew your vehicles or go face is not something to be scoffed at.
* [[Arada Express]] is another train with menace and a crew cost the deck can easily fulfill with zombies, frogmites and even other cards. There is anti-synergy with [[Nezumi Road Captain]], but it might still be worth it.
But all and all, I really liked it. No idea how this is going to fare in a post horizon-3 world, but I just hope I can keep polishing this idea further.

First off, I want to thank everyone who has been so kind during this journey. Please know that I’ve read every single comment on every post I’ve made about them and appreciate the support so much. Now I’ll go into details of what happened (I’ll start from the very beginning for anyone that might be new to their story). On May 16th, I got word about several mare and foal pairs that were going through an auction in Missouri that had been shipped there from Mississippi. As soon as I saw Fridas picture from that auction, I was determined to help her and her foal. I registered to bid online. All of the pairs were going for over $1,000 each. Once Fridas bid got to that as well, I backed down thinking that surely it was a private home bidding on her and she’d be safe… I was wrong. I worked diligently to track them down and found out that a trader in Wisconsin had bought them. As soon as I got in contact with them, I bought them for a marked up price of $1,300 on May 18th. Being all the way in Pennsylvania, I started working on finding a place for them to quarantine, rest, and start recovery so that they would hopefully get healthy enough to make the trip home. I found an AMAZING family who took them in without question. They moved their 3 personal horses to their neighbors pasture so that Frida and Olive could have the peace and quiet they needed and deserved. When they arrived we knew very little about them. I had the trader lot put a halter and catch rope on her before they left because no one knew the extent of Fridas handling at the time. Of course, we found out that she was either completely feral or horribly abused. Her feet were horrific. She was severely emaciated. She was extremely beat up, probably from trying to protect Olive when they were being shipped all over the place. It was not a good situation. We had the vet out immediately after they arrived and she suggested that we give them a little bit of time to decompress, relax, and get some nutrition into them before we stress them out. As she and several others said, she went this long with her feet like this, a while longer isn’t going to make a difference. Frida was too weak to cause her any stress or to sedate her. The vet told us to start letting her out onto the grass for a few hours each day. We did and she LOVED it. She was so happy. Olive loved napping in the sun and grass while her momma ate. They started to do so well. Frida started whinnying at the family who was taking care of them and would come and eat hay out of their hands. They would sit outside with them and read or sing or just talk to them. She got a little spark back in her eye. The family adored them. Frida learned that the words “good girl” meant that she was indeed doing good and she loved hearing it. Olive started running and playing like a normal foal. Out of no where on Thursday, June 6th I got a call early in the morning saying that the vet should probably come out for Frida. After the call, I got a video and she could not move and was non weight bearing on her right front. They put hay and water next to her while waiting for the vet and she ate and drank. The vet arrived and was able to get Frida into a chute made of a panel. She was such a good girl for the process and once she was in there she let them rub all over her body and ate hay from their hands again. She only panicked when someone moved too fast around her face (this is why the vet thinks she may have been horribly abused VS feral, because she didn’t act feral in the chute and she even took the banamine paste in her mouth perfectly). We decided to keep her on pain meds and give her a few days to try and get her pain managed so that we could figure out our next step. She could barely stand on her right front and it was going to be impossible for a farrier to do any type of emergency work on her that day. On Friday morning things were looking a little better. She was moving around more (it wasn’t the prettiest but it seemed like an improvement). She learned quickly to go into the chute for her meds and was such a good sport. Late Friday night I got a message that Frida probably needed to be admitted to a hospital for better care than they had the means to provide for a terrified horse at their place and that they thought she needed more than just time to be able to get through this. I was surprised because earlier Friday evening she seemed to still be doing a little better than she was. Then very early Saturday morning I got another video. I was devastated at what I was watching. My heart sank and I knew immediately that things were probably not going to end well. I got on the phone right away and a lovely woman who doesn’t even know me dropped everything to go and pick up Frida and Olive and take them to the clinic. Frida hopped right onto the trailer even while she was in such bad shape. While they were on the way I was keeping in touch with the vet. She warned me that based on what I was saying and the video that I sent her that things looked bleak and to start preparing to raise an orphan foal or find a nurse mare. I told her I’m willing to try whatever we can to save Frida but I understand that there may not be any options. Once they arrived the vet called me and the first words out of her mouth (in the kindest way possible) were “it would be completely cruel to keep this mare alive, given how terrified she is of humans and her current condition, she has a very small chance of coming out of this and it would be dangerous for any vet and farrier that would have to do the real work to even try and help her”. I agreed to let her go peacefully. The way she was walking was horrifying. She was petrified at the vets. She got “comfortable” with the family that was quarantining them and I am thankful that she had 3 weeks with them to get to know what good people were. The amazing woman that took them to the clinic stayed with Frida until she was gone, talking to her and loving on her. Olive was checked over by the vet (she’s extremely healthy!) and then was sedated and taken back to her farm. We are actively trying to find a nurse mare for her. In the meantime she is being offered milk replacer, milk pellets, hay, and water. She is understandably sad but doing well given the situation. We will continue to do everything in our power to do right by her. I am very sad that things ended this way for Frida. I wanted to see her get better and live happily ever after in my pasture but sadly it wasn’t in the cards ☹️. I have her tail being sent to me and I plan on getting a bracelet made for the family that took amazing care of them for the three weeks I owned them as well as a bracelet for the woman who dropped everything within minutes to help yesterday. Everyone is heartbroken. Again, thank you for all of the love and support you all sent their way.

My name is Mark Faraday. I was just looking for love back around January 20th, 2024 but I don’t want to see anyone else get scammed. I had a human profile picture when I was using these website, and was honest. I ran into a whole lying network run by a Woman, her friends, and a man. I will update this story if I have more to say in the future. Her nickname is Yomi, she told me her name was Miyuki Miyamoto and she was from Japan. Her real name is Jeong Nahyeon and she is from South Korea. She also has fake Chinese accounts like:

Summary: January to March 2024
Jpndate.com / Datesteady.com / Cudate.com / Sayhiup.com are dangerous Romance scams. All the women are paid actors for the website from Korea/China. They will try to get into a relationship with you very fast, don’t fall for it. They are milking you for money like if you're a cow. They will threaten to kill you or your family if you call out their scam. They might also say they will sue you. If you stop paying them, they will text you very little. They will never video call you face-to-face. Jpndate.com has a sister scam website from the same people called sayhiup.com. When you buy something on Jpndate the payment goes to Cudate Limited, so that site must be part of the scam also.There also Datesteady with the same layout. There is a company in China doing all type of illegal and immoral practices. Their name is Zhengzhou Zhongzhiqi Technology Co., Ltd. / 郑州市中之祺科技有限公司 . They have their main technology business but they also run a list of many scam websites stealing money from American men, Asian, and European men. Such as Cudate, JPNDate, DateSteady.com, SayhiUp. These are romance scam sites where all the women work for the company. If you make a female account it will pend forever. Only men get approved. They claimed before to be an American-owned company then I exposed them now they claim to be Dutch. Their servers are all in China. They never filed paperwork with any foreign country. They are none of these the Chinese pretending to run many dating sites when in fact it’s all fake. They claim to be in nations their not. They have fake terms of service. I used PayPal before I didn't know it was a scam. I paid in dollars, but they refused to refund me till I told PayPal. PayPal made them pay me back. Then they refused to pay me the total amount they wanted to pay me on yuan when I paid dollars. I reported them to FTC. They also try to hack my laptop for me telling the government the truth about them. They probably get funds from the Communist Party government or SW Entertainment in South Korea. They are very very bad people. Please look into it or forward this message somewhere where it can be looked into. Pretends to be a legit dating site but feels more like a pay-to-use website for fake love. All women here are paid actors for the site. The same few women have multiple profiles pretending to be different people. The funny part is anytime you call out JPNDate bs they change their terms of service. Screenshot everything people. They have a fake page saying they're trying to stop scammers, it all bs they are the scammers.

Hi! This is Mark Faraday talking to you.
This is my story of how a website named JPNDate Dancing Idol scammed me out of 4080 American dollars. From the time period of January to March 2024.
First, I was on Japan Cupid, a dating site. On Japan Cupid, no one can chat unless one of you has a membership. I bought a 1-week membership. Within 5 minutes to 10 minutes, a woman nicknamed Yomi from Japan messaged me; this should have been a red flag for me. We talked for a while. She said she was interested in me. She asked me if I could move over to the dating site JPNDate because she paid for membership there and not Japan Cupid. She also promised to delete her account on Japan Cupid after we changed sites. She does delete her account off Japan Cupid. Japan Cupid is sus also. I don’t think it is the same company but it is still very sus. However, these women used that site to find men like me. That is a story for a different day.
Unlike a normal scam artist, who may only have 1 or 2 photos, she has several photos on her profile. My trust in her grows a bit seeing that. She then privately messaged me several more photos of her. She asked me for some photos, which I sent. She then sends back happy and heartfelt emojis. She told me she doesn’t date Asian men anymore because they were violent to her in the past and her last boyfriend cheated on her. She talked about how she didn’t want to fight with me. She also said we could talk about any topic.
She would compliment me often, as I did for her. Of course, on my profile page, I try to post my best pictures. Throughout my life, I have had many different hairstyles. She even mentioned this and got very happy and asked if I was a hairstylist.
The spam of talking on JPNDate.com between us was from January 20th, 2024, to March 24th, 2024.
On JPNDate, there is an upgrade system. You need Blue Diamond to chat with others. Crown to send videos. Blue Diamond is 20 dollars per month, and Crown is 80 dollars per month. I got the Blue Diamond membership at first. It showed her with it too. After a day or two, she asked me to upgrade like she did to the Crown membership so she could send me a video. I upgraded it, and she did actually send me a video. All pictures and the video match the same person and the same face. Some pictures were in different locations, and some were like three different pictures in the same place. We then later buy a 6-month Crown membership for each other because it is cheaper than 1 month at a time. I bought it for her, and she bought it for me.
At this point, I start to believe. This person was giving me all their time. They reply very often, and their texting time was the same as Japan timezones every single day. They spoke not only English but also Japanese almost fluently. However, they did let me know that they're still learning English and sometimes use a translator.
She let me know that this website has something called a mall. This should have been red flag number 2. You pay 1 American dollar for each gold point. Paypal is the only thing that works. When we started dating, she said it was normal for couples in Japan to send each other gifts. It was a symbol of forever love in Japan, she claimed. As an American, I didn’t know if this was true. I googled it and couldn’t get a clear answer. She said whatever I bought her, she would buy me as well. She asked if I liked necklaces or charms. I said anything was fine. She wanted me to pick up a necklace. At first, she picked up a $1,000 necklace from the site mall and asked me. I said no; that's way too much money for that. She said how about a 300-dollar Jade Romance charm. She told me to get her white one; she would get me the green one. I questioned if she was legit. She started crying. She somehow convinced me at the time that she was legit again. I did buy it. A few weeks later, I did receive the overpriced Green Jade Romance love charm to my address from her. I never told her which day exactly my tracking information said it would come to my house, but I asked her, and her tracking date was the same week as mine. By the way something almost the same as this necklace is 12 dollars on Amazon. It also broke when I got it in the mail. Probably cost them 2 cent to make.
For the next few days, we had a wonderful, happy conversation. It is late January, and I know Valentine's Day is coming. I offered to get her flowers. I got her flowers and chocolate at a very high price of multiple hundred dollars. She then gets so happy. She told me many times how she wanted to go to America and find me.
We talked about many topics for several more days. She told me she worked in an office in Tokyo. Yomi told me her real name was Miyuki Miyamoto. Which is very funny because I told her before I was a Nintendo fan, and this is the same last name as Mario and Zelda Creator. She also said she had her apartment to herself, which is true; she does own an apartment. She talked about how life is stressful right now in Japan. She claimed to have grown up in the Japanese town of Nagano, Japan. She also said she had gone to a university in Tokyo with a major in computer science. She wanted to visit America in July for 15 days when she had her time off. July is a normal time for people to get off in Japan for vacation, so I thought nothing of it.
I told her that I was from a smaller town in California, but I lived not far from San Francisco. I told her how my town is quiet and how I could see mountains outside my house. She said she wanted a peaceful life and that life in Tokyo is too fast. And she always had great things to say about every picture I sent. We also talk about going on dates. I asked most of the questions, but she did ask me questions as well.
I started to ask her a lot of questions about Japan. Like if she visited Himeji Castle, she said no. However, she did say yes to visiting Mount Fuji. I should have asked for a photo of this, but I didn’t. She was very happy; she told me very many topics about Japan. We even briefly talked about anime. She told me she liked Digimon, Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, and Detective Conan. This information is important later. We also talked about how both of us were big Disney fans growing up. She told me she wanted to go to Disney Land when she came to California to visit me.
One day she told me, how work was busy today. I told her it was okay and we didn’t need to talk today. She did, however, still text me a little bit that day. This was the only day during our whole time talking when she was super busy. There is nothing wrong with this; all humans get busy. I decided to spend my evening drawing a picture of me and Yomi on a date to surprise her. When I sent it to her, she did not react. This was a red flag for me. I tried to convince myself that she just didn’t like drawings that much. I know I sound really dumb right here, but whoever I was talking to is very smart and knows a lot of things. I was in deep love.
We started talking a few days later about the idea of meeting and going on dates together. I know that the yen is weak against the American dollar right now. I told them I would pay for anything they wanted when they were in America because I was in love. This was a big, big, big mistake. They then asked if I could give them 1500 dollars to buy a plane ticket. Never give money to people you never meet in real life, folks. Don’t be dumb like me. Turns out the ticket was actually 2100, so they asked for another 500 dollars the next day, claiming their friend let them borrow the money, and they paid the difference. They did show me a picture of a plane ticket. With the name Yomi and the correct airports in Tokyo and San Francisco. This gave me more trust in them; I got a lot of photos, videos, and even a picture of a plane ticket.
At some point, I talked to them about social media. They claim to only have Skype and Line. I found it very hard to believe a woman in her 20s wasn’t on Instagram or Tik Tok. I went on Instagram and typed Yomi, and I found a Yomi who looked just like her. This made me think: why did she lie? What confused me is that all the pictures on her Instagram were different from the ones she sent me, other than one image that was the same. Meaning that the images were not clearly stolen from there.
I looked up JPNDate online; there isn’t much info on this website (Right Now), other than one reddit forum from 1 year ago. Someone said something about being scammed by an IDOL on this site. They also said the website wasn’t in Japan but in China. I was wondering why I never saw new females joining the website; it was the same 23 pages worth of them. I wanted to test the website to see if it was legit. I made another account, a fake male account with AI artwork. It was approved in one second. I then made a fake female account; it said pending approval. It has now been 2 weeks since I made that account, and it still says pending approval. This means all the women on this website have to be fake actors. There is also a setting on JPNDate to see who has been online last or which accounts are the oldest. When I asked weeks before, Yomi claimed she had been on this website only for a short time. Her oldest picture was dated October 20, 2023. Yet she has the sixth-oldest account on JPNDate, according to the website. The Reddit forum I talked about before was over a year old.
When I was on this website for a month, at least 10 other women tried to text me. There was this one profile of a woman from Taiwan, age 20. She texted me three times in one month. When I joined, her age was listed as 20, and at some point, she changed her age to 25 on her profile. I ignored all these women. This proves again that all these women are fake. I do know these are women based on how they type, but they are not truthful like they act like they are. As I write this, I just realized this is Yomi's friend or sister; it matches the other Yomi account's sister tag. They are part of the same dance agency Aiu_Agency on Instagram from SW Entertainment in South Korea.
I knew this website wasn’t telling the truth. I found the JPNDate IP address and tracked it to a server in Hong Kong, China, hosted by Alibaba cloud servers. Reddit was right; the website is Chinese. However, Yomi is Korean which I learned later. I took pictures of the website code just in case. I asked Yomi if she knew Alibaba.
Then she asked if I’m going to China—a very strange follow-up question.
At this point, I was confused. Who is Yomi? I couldn’t find anything about Miyuki Miyamoto, only Yomi. On Yomi’s Instagram, she speaks Korean, not Japanese. I started to think there are no Japanese women on this website like they claim to be. She does speak Japanese, though.
I started using more than 10 different software programs to track who Yomi was since she kept asking me for money. I found like 1000 pictures of an idol, WeChat model, singer, dancer, person on endless Chinese dating sites, and a valiant professional gamer part of the AI’U agency for over 8 years. I found two other Instagram accounts with Yomi's face. Another account in Chinese with an idol name other than Yomi also had a Facebook page. The Chinese account has a post about her going to Australia in early 2024, where she is typing in English words. It was a fake trip. I also found an account where she speaks only Korean on Instagram. I also found a tik-tok where someone dances and looks 100% the same as Yomi, to whom I’m talking. The part that is crazy is that none of the images are 100% the same, but the person is the same in all of them.
This shocked me; I follow all the accounts. I saw the stories daily to see who this person was. Her Yomi account is just her normal pictures and atm company or something. Her Korean account is about traveling to Singapore, Spain, and South Korea. She also posts a lot about Disney toys here. When I talked to the scammer about Disney, I had no idea about this.
At this point, I knew that many men had been scammed out of money for fake love, not just me. These women are real women. However, there are actors pretending to be in love. They will crush your heart and call you names after a few weeks if you don’t buy their stuff. It has to be from JPNdate Mall only, nowhere else. JPNdate Mall prices are crazy high. I am not sure if the point of the website is just for money or if it is actually for women to study English or what. Chinese women, pretending to be Japanese (most of them), that have connections to Korean music, dancing, and gaming on professional teams. Man, what a hell of a story this is. This sounds like a Hollywood movie, but it's real, or at least partly. At this point, everything I say seems to be true based on what I know. They are connected deeply with SW Entertainment.
Yomi told me early on that she had one older sister and one younger brother. It seems like she is actually a twin, and she is the younger sister. Or it’s her friend she calls a sister from the dance Aiu Agency. Yomi claims to be 25, but I think she is closer to 27 or 28 based on finding a listing of her work in 2015 at Twitch Gaming. You have to be 18 or older to work at Twitch gaming, unless your parents sign things. Unless this job is fake, I don’t know.
When I showed the pictures I found to Yomi on JPNdate, she played the victim card on me. Saying she thinks I’m a liar and she wants to break up. Then she gave me her Skype account to try to prove it was legit, and all the other images and accounts were stolen and fake. Her Skype name is Rose, with a One Piece picture. She sent me many voice clips, crying, trying to convince me that she was real. I put them in software, and the voice was 30% human, 70% AI. Clearly, a woman is changing her Chinese or Korean voice to sound Japanese. A PC gamer would know how to do this; they do it all the time to troll. Yomi told me she didn’t play video games anymore, but I found a picture that wasn’t that old of a woman who looked the same as her; she had a Nintendo Switch with a white OLED in it. Btw it’s a known fact that Yomi uses software to cheat in the Pc FPS games. We talk for a few more weeks on Skype.
I can’t let Yomi, her sister, whoever the man is (I think her lover), and her idol dance friends scam men for their time and money. Yomi Chiense's name is Vera Yuanxin (维拉). Her twin sister goes by veravera_zhangg.
Yomi “deleted her profile” when I exposed her. But One Yomi is still there with no pictures. Two they clearly have other accounts with people who look like she just changed hairstyle, talking and trying to scam other men.
Remember when I said the anime part was important? On Yomi's Korean account, she has a friend with whom she talks about Digimon. She gave him a Disney toy. She told me she wanted to cosplay a fox; his profile is a fox. There is just so much proof that these are the same people.
Later someone hit me up on Reddit from the Phillippines and told me how the same person Yomi scammed them. How for months Yomi promise them so many things. Then when they said it came to going on the plane to visit him they said they were sick or dying or something.
Yomi also made a fake Instagram pretending to be Joe Biden and sent me a friend invite. I messaged and it was so funny how bad it was on their part. I said “Yomi are you trolling me?” then they deleted their account. This was on April 6th, 2024. Yomi tries so hard but use a lot of cheap things that are clearly fake like ai artwork, bots for like at ai_u agency, and fake profiles where she comments herself and attacks anyone who calls her out fairly.
After exposing Jpndate they Ip ban my address lol. Then on social media joke about attacking me.
If you call out their BS they threaten your family and yourself. Just stay away from all these sites if you're going to date online use well-known legit sites. I contacted Paypal and me and JPNDate.com had many emails back and forth. They pretended to do an investigation on Yomi real identity and said she was really Miyuki Miyamoto. It was so bullshit. I told them I would sue them if they were lying, The site no longer exists. The scam does, however.
What happened After JPNDATE? April-June 2024
In April many fake Instagram accounts started following me each day. They are romance scams I never got them like this before. I didn’t fall for any of them. All or most were likely Yomi and her friends. Paypal did get me 4000 of 4080 dollars back but it took 6 weeks and multiple emails. JPNDate tells me they will be closing soon after PayPal went after them hard.
Like I said I just wanted to find love. I made some stupid decisions along the way. However, I want to find out the truth and make sure other men don’t get scammed by them. I keep messaging Yomi's skype during this period, they never block me. They unfriended me but I could still send messages I wasn’t blocked. They even responded 2 times out of the 50 times I did this in the multiple-week span.
I contacted the Aiu_Agency on Instagram (It is the same people as JPNDate) they pretended to be different people. I told them about Jpndate. They called me a hero, they said they loved me, and they thanked me for sending them all the pictures that Yomi sent me on Jpndate and Skype. They follow me on Instagram for 2 days. Then they unfollowed me randomly for no reason. They said their agency would do a police report and kill the scammer. I knew this was so bullshit. I told them how the scammers were making new profiles of them on Japan Cupid. Which is true. The leader Mingmei1344 (Which is Yomi Chinese account) claimed I was the scammer setting them up. She plays the victim card on me. I showed her all the messages and how I got the pictures, I didn’t steal anything. She told me her and her friends are okay if I hacked them, because I’m from the CIA. I am not from the CIA. It was a joke I made a few days before when she pretended to be a mob boss in Korea. I told her I am not a hacker. Right after that she and her friends all ban me other then Mingmei1344 account. Mingmei1344 Message me 1 more day, then block me.
However, Mingmei1344 and the Aiu_Agency keep posting things on topics I told them days or weeks before. I checked their old post they never talked about any of this before that. I told these to Yomi on JPNDate and skype not Mingmei1344 again proving it is the same person. They look the same as well. Like the blue feather concept in love mythology, Gundams, Nintendo, Persona, and many many other topics. Yomi claimed to not know anything about videogames before I talked about it with her. I think this is partly a lie.
This confuses me so I make fake Instagram accounts to message Mingmei1344 and Aiu_agency. She replies to my messages and Mingmei1344 even does a ask me a question thing on Instagram and replies to all of them. She clearly knows these accounts are from me Mark however she replies anyway. The replies were nice and positive things. Then later she bans them all again.
Often Aiu-Agency Women (Yomi and her friends, Mostly Yomi) pretend to go to countries they are not actually in the picture, it’s all greenscreen effects. They also use Ai for Music covers Artwork. For music covers they pretend to sell millions of copies of but there is nowhere to buy such a music cover CD they claim to sell. Their music covers are claimed to be from popular songs kpop songs. I looked, at least not right now such CDs aren’t real. Of course, the songs are real but not their covers. Yomi is most of the women in the pictures but not all. They will post Ai cover artwork, multiple pictures of them using the greenscreen effect, then put a high-quality image of a famous Korean male singer. They never took these pictures of these Korean male singers. They download them and edit them. They pretend to perform with them but it is all fake. Mingmei1344 started always putting her with all the famous Mark’s in Korea. Only her not her staff with Mark’s. I think it’s a reference to me. She didn’t do this before meeting me I looked at her old post. Again Mingmei1344 is Yomi who is Jeong Nahyeon, who pretends to be Miyuki Miyamoto.
She still references me sometimes in other ways and I send them messages to see what will happen next. One time I wrote about loving her to see what she would say. I do love Yomi, however I don’t want anyone to get scammed. I told her we could travel across the world together. She wrote in her next post on Aiu_agency on Instagram she liked this future with her future husband. It was a direct reply to what I asked the day before.
I joined DateSteady after being contacted by a woman on Japan cupid. She is very interested in me and Yomi so I tell her everything.
