Glad to hear you enjoyed it, it was a messenger called "Line"

Ah nice! This brings back memories. I think this is a very popular messenger app in SEA region?
Taiwan, Japan and Hong Kong mostly.

SEA used a mix of messaging app, where Whatsapp > Line.

We believe the gambling ring is based in Indonesia, which is uncommon to use Line, but they seem to be using it here for all of their customer support across all sites.
Not really used in Hong Kong that much anymore apart from a small subset of people (WhatsApp is king). It's also heavily used in Thailand.
They must have trained their customer support AI with a database stolen from dating sites.
Can't blame a company for trying to make their AI charismatic :D
I feel like we need more followup, so come on, dish! Where are you taking her for that first date?
