However, while enjoying the sweetness, WeChat officials also remind everyone to be careful of 'romantic traps'.

Although these words sound touching, if the other party only wants to chat by typing, refuses to meet in person, and does not want video calls, you should be alert.

Don't easily trust strangers just because of their sweet words.
