TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU - by getting scammed for almost 2 years

In 2019 I've been in China for my studies, and with some friends we downloaded the app Tan-Tan to date some girls. I talked with some, but one got my attention. With her, I talked about geopolitical and historical things, which was very interesting. But she quickly started talking about sex, and insisted to exchange some photos. That's not something I usually do, so I refused at first. She still sent me some, and even if she didn't show her face on those ones, and the background seemed to match with her Tan-Tan profile. She wasn't talking much about herself though, which I found weird. After some weeks of talking, I decided to finally send her some nudes. Our conversations were very interesting, so I decided to trust her. I proposed multiple times to meet her, but because she couldn't speak English at all, she always refused. In February, I had to come back to my country because of the Covid-19. Despite the distance, we continued talking. Again, we exchanged some nudes. Just to protect myself, I never showed my face on the explicit ones, but she still has some photos with my face on them. We continued talking a lot, and the sex game between us vanished somehow. But three days ago, she came at it again, and sent me a gif, saying that was her, and asking some photos. That's when I discovered everything. On that gif, I found an inscription, which was the name of a Redditor. I looked at that Redditor's profile, and indeed found a video that represents the gif. I began to investigate her WeChat profile, with some reverse photo search, and found out that everything was a lie, from the beginning. She (or he, I'm not even sure now), didn't threatened me with the photo I sent, and now knows that I discovered everything. I reported his/her profile on WeChat, but I fear that my photos may be used elsewhere.

TL;DR : I chatted with a Chinese girl and exchanged nudes for almost 2 years, and I discovered she was a scam only 3 days ago.

PS : If you read everything, thanks to you. It may not be an uncommon story, but writing it here made me feel a bit better. And even if it seems obvious, be very careful with strangers online. I'm not especially young, and I've always been very careful about this, but I still got scammed, so it could happen to others.

TIFU almost so bad by not unlogging from this Reddit account

I use this Reddit account to mod r/hearhimfuck , watch my porn and answer NSFWAMA when I feel like it. I religiously log off completely after every time because I don't want my partner or anyone knowing about this account. It's the holidays and we are all busy so I had a quick session with myself and ran to get a shower and leave for another family Christmas dinner. My phone stayed in my purse the whole evening. By the end there's 6 of us left and we're sitting in the living room, having mellow conversation. Pets are discussed and photos shown. Someone asks about my dogs so I go fetch my phone and sit back on the couch. As soon as I unlock it, there's a full blown ANAL clip playing. Fortunately, the sound was off. I manage to turn the sound all the way down and shut the app without anyone seeing. TLDR; Iwas THIS close from having hardcore porn blasting surrounded by my parents, my partner, an aunt and a two cousins. I can't imagine the aftermath of what could...

TIFU by fucking my coworker

Happened a couple of days ago, but yeah, as the title says... Oops... We've worked together for about a year now; we've always been friendly, but I never really clocked her as a potential romantic option; she's my coworker, she had a boyfriend when we started working together, and to be honest I just thought she was completely out of my league: I'm a schlub and she is gorgeous So when she texts me asking if we want to hang out after work, I genuinely thought nothing untoward would happen; I thought we were just going to chill and watch cartoons; and for a while we were just having a nice platonic hangout. But we got very drunk, and eventually she was giving me the bedroom eyes and saying we should make out. I very emphatically said that was a bad idea, but she kissed me anyway, and at that point I really lost any semblance of self-restraint.. I am not proud of myself, at all. I can tell myself that she came onto me, but ultimately I also comepletly let it happen. No...

TIFU by shopping on Amazon

So I have an Amazon account, and a family. Anyhow, the person I'm seeing likes to do things with me... try new things if you know what I mean 😏 Recently I've ordered a few packages with adult toys, swing, etc. And... clone a willy. It came in yesterday while I was out. While I was out I got a notification that the cloning kit came in. I sent my son a text asking him to bring my Amazon package in. He said he had already. I didn't think much of it. Until last night when I went to go... use it. I asked my son where the package was on my way out the door. He asked "The plant stand or the cloning kit?". Mind you, the boxes DO NOT say what the contents are, nor were they opened. He must have realized what he said because my face is a goddam story book. I just stood there silent and shocked. He pointed towards the closet. This has been going on for ages, but he has NEVER indicated knowing what's in the packages. So now my teenage son knows his mom is a freak. ...
