In recent hours, the story of "L," a Canadian tourist, has gone viral in the Cardenenses group on Facebook. She allegedly lent her Cuban boyfriend $5,000 so he could travel to be with her. However, the woman claims to have lost contact with her partner and is now seeking help to find out about him.
In several posts in the mentioned group, L gave various hints about their relationship, identified their partner as D, stated that they met in 2020, and even shared several photographs together.
"Hello, my name is L, I am from Canada. I really like Cuba and I met a Cuban guy in 2020, very nice. My guy, D, wanted to ask to travel to America and Canada with me. I asked my bank RBC in Canada for $5,000 to give to my guy on September 2, 2024, and I haven't heard from him since. Please help find D," she wrote in the first message.
After the flood of comments and mockery of all kinds and in every tone, L expressed regret in a second post about the reactions of many people.
He said he only wanted to bring the issue to light in public to try to find his "guy," and what he has found is many Cubans who "laugh or take pleasure in a scam."
"Now, in Canada, I am paying a lot of money to my bank and I have two jobs to afford it. It's no joke, and I can prove it," he stated.
In a third message, L shared screenshots of the numerous friend requests she received from men and women in Cárdenas after posting her story.
"I am not looking for or wanting any more boys. Please do not send messages," she emphasized.
"People talk without knowing the truth. In 2020, I was in Cuba with my boyfriend, and I met his family, who are very good people. The family is not to blame for anything, so don’t write to me," she wrote in her latest post, where she shared a piece of information that has sparked much discussion.
She said she had stayed at a school with her boyfriend and got "lice, crabs, and bugs," which prompted her to shave all her hair off.
It is unclear whether the story is true, but it is evident that many have found a reason to joke about the unique tale of L and D.
"Lázaro y Yarelis 2" have been noted by some in relation to the soap opera that entertained the Cuban audience on social media a few months ago.
"Your boy is getting a ticket to Nicaragua and crossing to the U.S., you won’t see him again"; "Your boy is already at the volcanoes," have remarked a couple of jokers referencing L's messages, which, in addition to mixing Spanish and English, have issues with agreement due to not being in his native language.
The latest contribution to the story is a message posted in the group by someone named "D," who clarifies that they are not related to the story. It certainly does not match the face of the first man who was with L and could be a profile created to lend credence to the tale of the Canadian tourist.
"Good evening, pay attention to what I'm about to say. First, I don’t want any shady dealings with me or my family. You don’t know me from anywhere. I am a man, and I haven't scammed anyone because I was born of one. I am a professional massage therapist; that is my job, and I have no need to deceive anyone. I earn a living from my work, and if anyone wants a massage, they can write to me. I’m done with you today," wrote the alleged D.
"That's why I pay for the internet," declared a Cuban after following the course of the story and the flood of comments of all kinds generated up to that point.
In a much more dramatic tone, another internet user stated: "This is to distract us from the hunger we have and to make us forget that another hurricane is on the way."
As of the publication of this article, there are no further details regarding the story of the alleged Canadian L who is searching for her D on social media.
