Made a friend,but….

Has anyone made friends on red note? I have,she is super sweet and told me she wants to show my China. The problem is that my boyfriend is doubtful,saying she only wants money or something. I know people have mentioned scammers,but I highly doubt she is one.

Most people on Rednote I don’t think are scammers. A lot of Chinese people sincerely want to make foreign friends. If there is something they want from you, my guess would be that they want to practice English lol (and learn about different culture)

I have made multiple new friends from China and none of them have tried to scam me or do anything untoward. Two of them did want to buy me gifts though for being their first American friend 😅💖

I’m messaging and building a friendship with someone on red note. She’s shared and I’ve shared. Nothing untoward as of yet

lol, after seeing what middle class in China is.. she probably doesn’t need your money!

Just remember you don’t give ANYONE money . If she is your friend she won’t ask you money and ask you download any crypto apps

If she asks for money then you’ll know what she wants but everyone from China I’ve met is wholesome and kind. I have seen fake profiles with men saying they’re from the US, with IP addresses from Nigeria. I told one of them I was psychic and I felt he was lying about being from Florida. He stuck to his story and eventually blocked me 🤣

Make friends life is short. What is there to scam when they should already know by now they’re more well off than us Americans.

There was someone earlier today, a Chinese woman, posting about how "feel free to make friends and be kind, but the moment someone mentions money, walk right away, don't even bother rejecting them".

I think it's fair to be cautious with all people in the world, no matter what app. If anyone asks for money, unless you've known them for a really long time (or unless you don't mind throwing away money), let them go.

Be ready for differing sets of expectations on what “friend” means. This is not meant to come across as a negative, just a fact that two different cultures expect different things. If your friend gets upset that you don’t do certain things in return, you’ll have to be honest that friendship means different things in your culture, and that you did not know about her expectation when you started, nor can you fulfill that expectation.

Edit: I am married to a man born in China. I am not Chinese.

She probably just want an American friend to practice her English and learn about our culture.

Tips for not getting banned

I’m considering dowloading xhs. I would literally just save things, use it as a 2nd Pinterest. I wouldn’t comment, dm, post, even like posts. I literally js want the inspo. I’d use mandarin and I wouldn’t save too quickly. I just need tips as to how I can’t get banned.

Locked out of my user

I got logged out of my user in rednote a few minutes after redownloading it since a year ago. my account was aesthetically pleasing until now, the app gave me a random user name and a random display name and a random profile picture. how can I fix this?
