If you Feed them they will come back

What would be your reaction if an unfamiliar individual approached you and stated, "I love you"? Your initial response may lead you to perceive this individual as irrational. This phenomenon is comparable to interactions with strangers in online environments:
It is happening more each day online, and on social media platforms
How you respond to them can save you thousands of dollars by choosing not to respond.
Flattering words or deceitful phrases often swindle many elderly people out of their life savings.
Don't get me wrong; there are times when you can help a stranger who desperately needs it.
The adage reminds us that when you nurture them, they will always come back.
This contemporary take on love just doesn't resonate with me.
I have finished feeding these online pigeons.
