Texting your new college roommate on move-in day in a pan...

Conversation

1. Alex, there's a pinned TikTok with my face titled 'My roommate scammed me'.
2. What? send it to me right now.
3. I screenshotted it, don't open the actual video yet.
4. Why not? what does it say?
5. They say 'my roommate scammed me' and show Pine Hall exterior.
6. Pine Hall? that's our building.
7. My face is the thumbnail — it's literally my moving-in selfie.
8. Did you post that selfie anywhere public?
9. Only on the university move-in Facebook group and my public Instagram.
10. Okay don't comment, and delete your screenshot, please.
11. Delete my screenshot? I'm the one getting accused online.
12. I'm telling you, I didn't post that, I don't even use TikTok.
13. Then who pinned it and tagged our dorm in the caption?
14. Wait, I might've— I used a screenshot from that move-in thread.
15. You what? Why would you use my photo from the thread?
16. I thought it was the person who scammed me last semester.
17. You used my face to represent your scammer?
18. I didn't realize it was yours, I swear; their profile looked the same.
19. You pinned a video accusing 'my roommate' with my face visible.
20. I pinned it because I needed attention to prove the landlord scam.
21. So you ruined my reputation to get views and evidence?
22. I wanted to catch them, not hurt you; I'm so sorry.
23. Sorry doesn't remove people already messaging me threats.
24. I'm coming up, I'm taking it down, and explaining everything.
