Redirected to banggood.com. With a URL like that you’d expect porn, but it looks to be an Amazon ripoff.
ETA: subsequent clicks took me to dhgate.com, another shady shopping site. They probably run multiple sites and the link sends you to some sort of roulette thing that spits you out on one of them.
That used to be the place to get quadcopters/drones when they were first becoming a thing. That was mostly just chance though, they were temu before temu was temu.
Isn't banggood legit? I know the name looks suspicious as heck (well, if I didn't know better, I'd think it was an NSFW site), but I remember Atomic Shrimp using it for legit purchases. I'd never use it though. I think it's in the same stable as Ali express and that sort of thing.
Na, he's probably like me: completely undesirable.
After about 10 years using dating sites I came to realize how to spot these bots. For me it's actually really simple, if they message me first they're a bot.

Thanks for clicking it! My skin crawls just looking at the ads and banners in that picture.
How ironic. That's a fake Temu site. Should be pretty comparable in terms of data safety and privacy.
