There is no mention of any consideration (a legal term meaning he didn’t promise them anything in return) provided by the “boyfriend”.
This would not be fraud under English common law.

This seemed a little clickbait-y
Remember when there was a natural disaster on the East Coast and when there were fires in California and Texans said it was God’s judgment?
I do.
She will get reelected by the citizens of northeast Georgia because they vote.
Do you?

If your proscriptions were adopted, at least 4 billion people would starve and/or die from disease.

It is the lowest possible bar. If anyone can’t get over that, voters should at least know.
There is a new website tracking whether politicians will go on the record to be against bribery.
I wonder if they will note this?
Except for maybe these folks plus the people we don’t know about in El Salvador
Mahmoud Khalil • Syrian‑born Palestinian and legal U.S. permanent resident. • Detained by ICE on March 8, 2025 in New York—reportedly without a warrant—under a rarely used immigration law citing alleged national-security concerns tied to his activism. • Held at LaSalle Detention Center in Jena, Louisiana, for 104 days, separated from his family—including missing the birth of his son. • Released on June 20, 2025, after a federal judge deemed his detention unconstitutional, finding no flight risk or danger.
Mohsen Mahdawi • Palestinian U.S. green‑card holder and Columbia University student. • Arrested by ICE on April 14, 2025, at a citizenship interview in Vermont . • His detention prompted immediate habeas corpus filings; held in St. Albans, Vermont. • Released on April 30, 2025, after a federal judge determined his detention likely aimed to suppress free speech.

Don’t believe the naysayers. No matter which state you are in, your vote is important. Extreme Conservatives have been taking over school boards and imposing their agenda on kids.
Offices like Sheriff, Coroner, Secretary of State, Lt Governor, State Representatives, City and County Councils etc. are all important.
Every Vote Counts!!!!!
Many important local races will be decided by less votes than the number of updoots I will receive for this comment.

UPDATE 10/4 6:47 EDT
I have been going through all the comments. THANKS!!!!!! I did not know about the techniques listed, so they are extremely helpful. Sorry for the slow update. As I mentioned below, I got behind with this yesterday so work cut into my evening.
I ran a port scan. The first syntax, -p, brought no joy. The nmap software itself suggested changing to -Pn. That brought an interesting response:
nmap -Pn 1-9999
Starting Nmap 7.93 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2024-10-04 11:44 BST
Failed to resolve "1-9999". Nmap scan report for Host is up (0.070s latency). All 1000 scanned ports on 192.168.0.46 are in ignored states. Not shown: 990 filtered tcp ports (no-response), 10 filtered tcp ports (host-unreach) Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 6.03 seconds Just to be absolutely sure, I turned off my work computer (the only windows box on my network) and reran the same syntax with the same results.
As I read this, there is definitely something on my network running windows that is not showing up on the DHCP.
UPDATE 10/6
I am working through all these suggestions. I am sorry for the slow responses, but I have my hands full with family weekend. I will post more next tomorrow. But I did do one thing that has me scratching my head and wondering if this may be a wild goose chase.
I ran the nmap again per below with a completely fictional IP address within my normal range. It gave the exact same results:
nmap -A -T4 -p- -Pn
Starting Nmap 7.93 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2024-10-05 13:36 BST Nmap scan report for

The cancer example is plausible, but I am not sure you would always win.
In that case you are asking for help for a specific reason. They “get to feel good about helping solve your problem”.
Your deception deprives them of their having done something good with their money - which is the tort.
In OP’s instance, he was saying that he had a birthday and you are giving him a gift.
Not the same - you can make the same argument, but it is even thinner gruel.
