In recent hours, the story of "Lori," 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 meet her. However, the woman claims she has lost track of her partner and is now seeking help to find out about him.
In several posts in the mentioned group, Lori provided hints about her relationship, identified her partner as "Duviesky," mentioned that she met him in 2020, and even shared several photographs of them together.
"Hello, my name is Lori, I am from Canada. I really like Cuba, and I met a Cuban guy in 2020, he is very nice. My boy, Duviesky, wanted to apply to travel to America and Canada with me. I requested $5,000 from my bank, RBC in Canada, to give to my boy on September 2, 2024, and I haven't heard any news from him. Please help find Duviesky," she wrote in the first message.
After the flood of comments and mockery of all kinds and tones, Lori expressed her regret in a second post about the reactions of many people.
He said he just wanted to bring the issue to light publicly in an attempt to find his "guy," and that what he has found is many Cubans who “laugh or rejoice at a scam.”
"Now, in Canada, I am paying a lot of money to my bank and I have two jobs to be able to afford it. It’s no joke, and I can prove it," he specified.
In a third message, Lori shared screenshots of the numerous friend requests she received from men and women in Cárdenas after sharing her story.
"I am not looking for nor do I want 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; 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 most recent post, where she shared information that has generated a lot of discussion.
She said she had stayed at a school with her boyfriend and that she caught "lice, crabs, and bugs," which led her to cut off all her hair.
It is unclear whether the story is true, but what is evident is that many have found in the unique tale of Lori and Duviesky a reason to make jokes.
"Lázaro and Yarelis 2" have coincidentally pointed out some references to the soap opera that entertained the Cuban audience on social media a few months ago.
"Your guy gets a ticket to Nicaragua and crosses over to the U.S., you won't see him again"; "Your guy is already in the volcanoes," have remarked a couple of jokesters, referencing Lori's messages, which not only mix Spanish and English but also have agreement issues since it's not their language.
The latest contribution to the story is a message posted in the group by someone named "Duviesky Rodríguez," who clarifies that he has no connection to the narrative. His comment certainly does not match the face of the first man who accompanied Lori and could be a profile created to fuel the story 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 have not scammed anyone because I came from one. I am a professional massage therapist; that is my job, and I have no need to defraud anyone. I earn a living through my work, and if anyone wants a massage, they can write to me. I’m done with you today," wrote the alleged Duviesky.
"For this reason, I pay for the internet," declared a Cuban after following the course of the story and the torrent of comments of all kinds generated up to that moment.
In a much more dramatic tone, another internet user declared: "This is to distract us from the hunger we are experiencing and to make us forget that another hurricane is on the way."
As of the time this note was written, there are no further details regarding the story of the alleged Canadian Lori, who is searching for her Duviesky on social media.
