I'm stupid, can someone explain to me how this is illegal? Like morally questionable I get, but how is it illegal?
According to a quick Google fraud in Japan is
Gifts I assume are property here
Jesus Christ! Can we get some of that law in the US?!
We do - romance scams are fraud, and they're illegal.
Enforcement is the issue. Cops in the USA wouldn't care about this.
Cops in the US still care about a lot of laws which people don't even give fk about in LATAM, SA and SEA
Best I can do is legalizing corruption and then spend billion dollars on public programs explaining how lobbying helps the people, not capitalism
The only thing that will stop them is the modern day equivalent of people walking out of rome, leaving the elites to make everything themselves.
I've studied laws like that for the better part of 25 years and I've formulated this new law ointment I'd like to call Lawinment2.0! IRS available at Walmart for $17.75! And the shipping is free because its a download. Just pay as you normally would thru Walmart pay and then head on over to laws.com and receive your free gift! And if you pay thru laws.com to receive a free 5% offer on an additional law you'll also receive this custom deluxe gorme designer bag gift pin retainer. Its our way of saying thank you! And thank you George Carling for this fine comedy bit.

So like...makeup?
"Why you wearing eye shadow, you fraud? Just don't sleep and get real dark spots under your eyes, poser!"
No, more like telling 35 different women 35 different fake birthdays so they get you some nice gifts while they're all under the impression that they're your only girlfriend. Nothing like wearing make up, you silly, woman hating, goose! Xoxo
I'm definitely not a legal expert, especially for Japan.
but this sounds like a con artist.
