Pacaya is about real people making real plans — but that also means scammers may try to fake trust to get money, info, or worse.
Trust scams: Quick connections followed by crisis requests (“Can you spot me for a Lyft?”).
Blackmail: Shared nudes or recorded calls used for extortion.
Fake emergencies: Rent, medical bills, travel “help” — all fake.
Age traps: Scammers pretend to be underage, then demand money.
