This is an old tactic, RMT used to do this to me years ago. They would follow me, and constantly beg me in tells for gil or tell me to give them drops from a NM they saw me kill or whatever. Black Lists works wonders, and when I called a GM they were magically "gone" ^^
And as for the scamming gullible guys as a male... Eww.. I think the culprit is equally pathetic as the victim in these cases.
