Sorry to hear she was scammed of 50 K $$ Money spends quick. That amount of money, I could live comfort for 2 years.
Now it might not be a lot of money for people who like to live like the Jones .
Getting scammed can happen to anybody. Old, young, hefty, skinny, ugly, average, handsome or pretty.
I'm assuming she's in her 60s. You figured she'd be a little more wise.
A guy that says he owns a oilfield company and asking to borrowing money from a person he met on line. MAJOR RED FLAG !!! As I'm sure every oilfield owner has a few banks , that they deal with. Especially if they just got started, they deal with small business loans.
As soon as he asked for money. She should have, blocked and deleted him.
I really hope she gets her money back or at least some of it.
Becareful, stay safe, and God bless 🙏
Wait, it's a subscription??? This service should be free. Like... fuck poor people, you deserve to be scammed, right? Teaching people how to use google would be more efficient and helpful and totally free to do. You can make your money via ads on the website and ads on these videos. Or maybe even start a patreon. Anything else is utterly selfish.
I’m so glad one was real. That was nice!
Just because Estefan is real doesn't mean he won't scam her.
Right- 90 Day Fiance, hellerrr lol
Red flag words 🚩: “Queen”, hospital, oil rig, gift card
Babe..
@@catiag1558 and i love you in 24hours
How about he’s in the military
…widowed
Engineer. Dead wife. Kid in boarding school.
Any time someone calls you "Queen" via text, there's a 99% chance that he's Nigerian.
I’d say more like 100% chance he’s Nigerian. 😂
🎯
@@patinajadeatherton2385 There is a slight chance he’s from Ghana.
especially American men never say that unless they are at a Renaissance fair!
@@Bongwater33 Hahahaha! 😆
He’s an engineer in charge of a crew but needs her to send him gift cards to call his kids… right… On which planet are these victims living?
Every single woman in these catfish stories says the same thing: “He spoke to me in a way no other man ever has. He writes me poems, love letters, and gushy messages. My husband never talked like that.” 😳 That’s because most men don’t talk like that in real life! 🤦♀️ It doesn’t mean they don’t care, it’s just that most men don’t go around spouting cheesy lines from the inside of a Hallmark card 🙄. People in real life don’t talk like the characters in a Hollywood rom-com
And the broken English. How do they just gloss over that? If someone called me beautiful every morning, I would be annoyed. The bar is set so low, the scammers are dangling rotten fruit and the "victims" run with it
Exactly this. Hollywood movies tend to give people completely unrealistic expectations of what a romantic relationship should be like. People need to realise that romantic movies are a fantasy. It's absurd, unrealistic and unreasonable to expect real-life people to behave like a character from a dime store romance novel 24/7. If somebody online is communicating with you in such a manner, then that ought to be a pretty major red flag (as should requests for money, obviously).
You are so right! Most men do not speak like that. That in itself should be a red flag.
And also maybe men need to learn to be romantic and not only in the honey moon face.
They have scammers schools over in Africa, a young lad tried to scam me. I wouldn't have any of it, eventually he told me the truth and explained about the scammer schools. We are friends on fb but only as passing friends, I told him to be himself and stop scamming he is an educated young lad. I will never accept friend request unless they come from people I know. Sad!
Barrels for the oil? They must be laughing their heads off.
I know I sure am!
3 things: a real man doesn't ask for money, looks aren't everything and if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
Also men can need help with money sometimes and still be a real man. But its important you know he is real first.
Neither would a real woman. We're equal now right?
@@Gurra88 Anyone who just meets someone and asks for money is sus
@@erikalulea3608 - a man behind a legitimate FB profile can ask women money and use them. He is still an user.
and it doesnt even sound too good to be true with these people asking for money
She left her boyfriend because he was 25 years younger, and dated men online who were 40 years younger.
I don't understand how anyone can fall in love with someone they have never met. It's a total fantasy.
Red flag when date sends you personal documents. You never give your personal information to strangers, even your own family.
She needs to find a new therapist. That was terrible advice. She is a prime target for scammers. And if her therapist is going to give people that kind of advice it needs to be followed up with "Watch out for scammers, here are some videos to tell you the warning signs." People who've been out of the dating game for a while don't necessarily know about catfish and scammers. I only learned about all this because I was thinking about joining and app and Googled dating stories to get an idea which apps were more successful and came across all these scammer stories.
It's on all the apps! Christian Mingle is the worst.
Nothing wrong with the therapists advice. Nothing wrong with online dating. Just don’t send Money 💰
Yeah, you think her telling her therapist she's sending thousands of dollars to some foreigner engineer would have been a lecture from the therapist.
Therapist should have said meet somebody online in your community who you can verify in person.
I don’t think the therapist should have advised that at all. It is not a therapist’s job to advise, but rather to guide and explore with the client. The right thing for the therapist to have said (asked) was “what does moving forward look like for you? Have you thought about some avenues or activities you might like to explore as ways of broadening your horizons and meeting new people?” If joining a dating site ended up being one of them, at least it would have been her idea. And if she mentioned it to the therapist, without discrediting it, s/he could have warned her what to watch out for.
They struck oil and needed him back on the rig? 😂😂😂😂😂
No one person is that important on an oil rig (unless he is the cook! 😂😂)
Also, didn't she even read that letter? Bad grammar, and a ridiculous claim about not having plans for what to do when they strike oil. 😂
She spent 15 years with someone but felt it wouldn't work to get married. ???
Im so glad that one man was really who he said he was.
I think he managed to scam the Scamfish people on that one. I would love to see a follow up where we find out she's now sending him money too.
Grown men begging for gift cards so he can call his kids??! 😂😂 ohhhh hell no! In real life, that’s what we call a deadbeat. Why would you be paying a stranger’s son’s medical bills?! Stop being so gullible and work on your self esteem. I don’t feel sorry for her whatsoever. If a man asked her for money face to face in person she’d probably laugh and ghost him. She needs to stay away from any and all dating websites! Keep your money for yourself and work on you. Why are these older women so damn desperate? Edit to add- This is absolutely an addiction for her! She’s going to keep doing this until she’s broke. Seek out an excellent therapist and stay off the Internet!
DESPERATION.🤯 This is being so needy for attention from the opposite sex, that you will believe anything - you MUST have a man to be able to function.
This lady is not stupid so she should be more careful. Anytime anyone calls you QWEEN, he’s Nigerian. Any time he has emergencies and needs money he’s a scammer. She is going on looks in the men she talks to. A lady I worked with met a man and he was younger and very handsome, a 9. She was short, overweight, and about a 5 in looks. When she told me about him, I wondered to myself what he was doing with her, but said nothing. A couple of weeks later I asked how her love affair was going. She just shrugged and said oh he’s gone. Much later she told me he called her from jail to come bail him out that he was arrested by mistake. She had already “loaned” him money until he got paid. After checking on him, he had no job, was in and out of jail and lived off women by getting “loans”. Best to check them out first and when the age is much younger than you and he’s a 10 and you’re a 4, beware!
So tired about that mentality that oh you have to be according to your standard good looking to be able to have a good looking partner. There are MANY examples when that is NOT the case.
@@erikalulea3608 that may be the case, but big majority get attracted in the beginning by looks. Only those with an inferiority complex go to less attractive people. The younger generations go mostly on looks now. They didn’t all do that in my generation. I remember in high school the best looking boys had the best looking girls and the other way around.
@erikalulea3608 wow, it is the case, rarely see ugly with beautiful, I never have and I've been on this earth almost 70 years. This woman attractive but old, no way hot, young man wants her for her. No way in hundred years.
As a woman this is really embarrassing! She’s so smart but she can’t tell when when she’s being conned!!!!
She's the first victim who had me think - Well she seems normal, so how did she fall for this? But then she said that she didn't know how much she had sent. When she did her calculations it was $50,000. So I changed my mind. She's an idiot if she sends $50,000 and doesn't even keep track of it. Is she a millionaire?
Who said she was smart?
She is NOT SMART!
She’s as thick as a brick
Barrels for the oil? I mean cmon 🤦🏻♂️
Poor Estefan... Little does he realize that by allowing himself to be shown online his pictures and profile are about to be used by scammers. Think about it, social catfish has already vetted him, right?
Very good point Michelle!
@@JaimeMesChiens
Hmmm I’m starting to doubt that broken hip story
@@JaimeMesChiens
Wow, you’re so arrogant and rude! Saying just because a woman is in her 70’s and a hairstylist means she’s beneath someone guy that is a bit younger and has a PhD?! So, you’re equating age and educational status with worth and value?
My ex-husband had a Master’s Degree and used to brag about it, he was so “intelligent” that he ended up having an affair with his 18-year-old high school student and our babysitter. His stupid ego was always in the way of his so-called “intelligence” that he claimed to have. My sister has a PhD and a high career in the military and had trouble with alcoholism for many years. Arrogance will always knock people off their high horses, no matter what their big degrees. You seem to be underestimating hairstylists, some of them can make a lot of money!
If you think hairstylists are so lowly, don’t go to one and cut your own stupid hair, (it looks like you already do, love your bangs, it looks like a style a 5-year-old would have.)
You’re really a pompous ass. Nobody in their right mind would want to be with you because of it.
"my Queen" is always a red flag
Has the scamming field gotten so crowded that scammers have to scam each other to get to the victim several of them are targeting?
Imagine working for a company that say you have to pay someone’s salary to replace you while you take a holiday 😂
If she didn't think it would work, why was she with him for 15 years? She had a guy who wanted her, and now she traded the good guy for a scammer.
Real or not, this is so abusive. Why would they associate all the demands as "love." Something is broken if you can fall for someone like that.
She comes across as someone who has a very very elevated opinion of her looks, can be a good thing, but without being realistic it can lead to huge problems…and you end up tripping yourself up.
For her age I am guessing she’s about 60, she’s quite attractive.
Sad to say it's best to be single!!
Even if they don’t hook up, it’s very sweet that at least ONE of these guys was actually who he says he is. And he IS attractive, looks like he takes care of himself, is interested in women HIS OWN AGE, and has REAL old guy problems (which he handled without requesting 💰💰!).
I am so sorry that these people are missing something in their lives that would lead them into a life of total fantasy! She referred to herself as dating someone. You’re dating someone when you meet them in person and go out to places with them. You are not dating somebody when you’ve never physically seen them in person!!!
It’s so cruel how these scammers take advantage of those lonely people!
Deluded grannies believing lies. They scam themselves.
She's talking to multiple men because they're handsome and they flatter her. It's not loneliness.
The scammers can funnel the money into terrorist activity, take care of their own needs, and buy expensive cars and bling. They do all the above.
@@nineteenfortyeight6762 I disagree. That's a perfect example of loneliness.
@@CMV314 Get a pet
Needs barrels for the oil 😂😂😂
what kind of oil company would require the engineer to buy the barrels? omg how stuuuuupid!
Why would anyone send even a penny to a stranger? I don’t get it.
Wow, I think this is the first time one of them turned out to be real
These crooks know how to BS you, to reel you in with promise of love.
Don't send money to someone you never met........ Bottom LIne!!!
This is disgusting these scammers! You can't trust anyone online, and even at times,, in real life
Well, dating is nothing but meeting strangers. At least when we were young and in high school or college, we got to know the people we considered dating before actually dating them, for the most part. We were told when we were young not to trust strangers, yet that is all people do these days. I've been single and have not dated for almost 20 years and that is because I have no interest in meeting anyone to date. I guess I'm fortunate that I have established friendships from my youth and have grown children from the former spouse I met in college. I don't even have a desire to meet anyone for new friendships. You never know who to trust.
What makes u think this handsome man will have interest in you? Even if he appears physically, shouldn't you be cautious? Let alone online with no video call. C'mon
I would not date online and I do not accept friend requests from strangers. Anyone super attractive man who gives over the top compliments and asks for $, is a scammer. You’re better off getting a prison pen pal.
I feel horrible for her, she just needs to find a man her own age. Their skin might not be as tight as a young man. But she needs to be realistic about aging herself. The bloom of youth is gone. I am in my 50's but I don't expect some hot guy to swoop in and sweep me off my feet. It's just the world we are in now. A guy that is an engineer is way too busy to be messaging a woman all day. And she will never get that money back. She paid to keep his attention that's all. Think of it as a hard lesson to learn. Red flags galore.
I'm 53 and wouldn't even want a man less than 7 years younger than me
Many engineers just sit at their pc all day
I dated this guy for 15 years, and refused to marry him because it wouldn't work since we are 25 years apart in age. Well it worked for 15 years you were practically married at that point what the hell are you talking about
Hope that no scammer steals Stefans pictures now and use them to scam this lady.
People would not accept this behavior from someone in front of them. And yet the go along with this foolishness
ikr they wouldn't give a dollar to a beggar in the street either
He needed money for BARRELS??!! No. No one would believe that! 🤣🤣
the more ridiculous the store the more they believe it
I’ve quit dating Al together and never talk to anyone on line
Don't give up.....I'm real.
And yet you are here waiting for someone to talk to you
Me too. Done with crappy people.
These therapists who recommend dating sites to their patients need to have their licenses revoked. Dating sites are extremely toxic for anyone, especially for someone healing.
False. Dating in general cab be dangerous for women as is. Everything is online now, logistically speaking, as much as you want to deny it. People think they're too good for online dating, fine, but even non dating evens are organised online with the meeting point and price of the event
Wait…he asked for oil barrels? Omg… I can’t…😂
She had a previous relationship that lasted 15 years and she didn’t marry the guy??? I’m confused
Women: you get called Queen, stop 🛑 immediately! It’s like fire rules: Stop, block, and roll.
Gotta hand it to these guys:. They are MASTERS!!!
well, i think that anyone being too sweet or even sweet to begin with, its a major no no. being on line or offline
Ann, if you want to know if James is real consider this. He told you that you are the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. I'm certainly not saying you're ugly but do you think you are the most beautiful woman in the world? Or even the most beautiful woman James has ever seen? Sorry, but if a man told me that I would immediately kick him to the curb because that just is not true about me. Do you think it's true about you? If not, why would he tell you that? Oh, I forgot. He asked you for money. Do you suppose THAT might be the reason he said that you were the most beautiful woman he had ever seen? Why do you care if he's real? If he's real, it just means the picture he gave you is really him and the name he told you is really his name but he still is the loser who begged a stranger on line to send him some money. Is that REALLY the type of man you want to be connected to?
Uh was he planning on putting his oil in barrel drums? I'm insanely confused by that. 🤦♀️
I think he's confused too haha
Why oh why do these women think that any man who is attractive/half their age/ good job etc....need to be online dating?????
Finally, a genuine dude! 😍 And a chance for Anne to recoup some of her money.
I'm sure that guy will be thrilled to find out he was one of three she was talking to.
@@prayforjonas Especially since she dumped him like a hot potato after he told her about his accident and that he broke his hip.
Best way to find out is DONT send any money
Why can't the world be awake to the fact that you can call for free several ways?
Some times stupidity is it's own punishment.
“James” looks like my husband when he’s looking his best lol
Her therapist should pay her scam losses for his bad advice
Most of these guys start asking for money after 2-4 weeks of connecting. Can you imagine dating a guy IRL and he did that? I don't think I've EVER had a boyfriend ask to borrow money!
asking for money is a huge turn off and most of us would run a mile
"A sucker born every minute and two to take 'em.". The gullibility of these people is amazing. Send me money or my son will die. Yea, right. 🤣
Estefan is the first story I've heard on here where they were a real person. wow
If you’re going to go online to date, why not try to find someone local first? Approximately 99% of these scams could be avoided.
these people don't want someone who looks old like they do. They want a fantasy
She says these guys are "cute, or adorable" like she is picking out a puppy, not a human being. Why would a hot guy want a 70 year old?
This is tragic....Falling in love with a beautiful picture....it can happen to ANYBODY...extremely sad..i wish everyone who has suffered from scams strength, fortitude and courage...all the very best....I have learnt to love myself and I do not do ANY ON LINE DATING, OR USE ANY DATING PLATFORMS....NONE....I wish all again the very best....
I feel for Stephan having a broken hip! 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Same. I broke my hip at the age of 31, and it was absolutely hellish! It didn’t help that both my mom and grandma were dying, too.
I think vulnerability is an issue in these situations. But GREED - wanting more money I.e. getting a big payoff, wanting a more handsome bf - is also part of the problem.
What private citizen has to buy oil barrels???? What???
When you get “swept off your feet” you get all your senses knocked out of you. Missing that correlation, is where the problem lies. (Though the first problem is responding to these West African teenagers in the first place.)
Lady! You had a man who clearly loved you for 14 years and you didn't think marriage would work because he was younger? He didn't magically lose age when he proposed after 14 years. This one is just dumb.
I don't understand why she wouldn't marry her boyfriend of 15 years. Because he's younger than her makes no sense. Sounds like she was looking for a way out of the relationship. Now she has it so much better with a scammer. I do not feel bad for most of these women because it's so obvious these guys are scamming them. Who needs to borrow money from a woman to pay for things for their job, ridiculous! Too gullible ladies.
If people keep handing out money , this scam is never going away …Wake up people !!!!!!!!!!!!
My queen , what a crock
Maybe try the senior center, meet someone face to face
Yes because Oil Rigs don't have any barrels. They only produce like 5,000 barrels of oil every day but no barrels! They have to store the Oil in Coca Cola Bottles! 🤣
Her problem is she keeps picking guys that have health issues or the kids are sick. Keep looking honey , the right guy will appear. I would not send a dollar to a woman I never met . How can people give up money like it grows on trees?
plot twist: the therapist was the scammer
Lonely? Get a cat,dog or bird ! You have 50K to spare-go on a luxury cruise meet a nice gigolo. At least you will have some nice memories.
This is the most surprising and awesome episode so far, what a great outcome:-))
It's not a great outcome...she lost 50000. That's it!
Bloody hell, they found a real one!
So he’s a writer and uses “payed” instead of paid.
Even her therapist is scamming her
So easy to scam these older women. Anybody that wants easy money can do this. Plus nothing happens to the scammers. It’s the perfect crime. These women have lived in a bubble and have no real world experience
😂😂😂 again with the royalty! My Queen! Pls RUN the second you read that.
One day they’ll invent AI that will complement and love on us (just like in the movie Her) and these scammers will be out of business.
I mean, these women seem to be addicted to just that so there is a market for it.
How else do you explain giving money to people you’ve never met or FaceTime with?
No, you have not "met" any of them...
Damn she's strong. Wow! I've been lifting weight for 3o years and I lift heavy weights, but I can only do 2 or 3 of those pull ups. That is amazing!
I’m concerned bc even on these videos someone still commented “you should meet within 30 days” and that is waaaaay too long. Why is it so hard for older people to grasp 😅
7 days maximum
Imagine that you really think that oil rig needs 60 something year old woman to send money for barrels to store the oil 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Please tell me where I can find a fool like this
Hi. I used BeenVerified to check into a man I met in real life and not an online, which turned out to be just as dangerous. After watching enough of these videos, things this man said (when we were together in person) didn’t feel right so I signed up and ran a check. Turns out he was a convicted violent felon in multiple states, including sex crimes. Just wanted you to know that you’re doing good work and even people you meet in person should be validated.
Yeah good point. If you meet someone in real life it doesn't mean he/her is trustable. Always go with a double check!
Really good point. Meeting them only proves their picture matches, little else.
I’m happy you did that and that you’re safe.
How much does it cost
Omg! Way back even before the internet I wrote a letter to a guy via a magazine dating site….and I knew he was in prison but I didn’t know why until the third letter I got back from him and turned out he was convicted of murdering his wife!🙀I have no clue what made me write him to begin with! Needless to say that didn’t last long!
I gave up on marriage, realized my age, became at peace with myself. Got hobbies, started a news channel, called friends. Then one day my neighbor of 17 years came over. We're married 11 years. Ya never know.
Similar story here! 33, broken engagement, I just gave up. Met a cute guy on Twitter and figured if it didn’t work, I could just block him and move on. Married 10 years now!
@@Jenny010132 You didn't give up. You were still open to a relationship. Congrats.
Ohh...I like your love story!! My motto is never say never! 👍🏾
Ahhh! Love this.
ha ha had to go to a homeless shelter as my nasty daughter kicked me out of her house after giving her money helping with the grandkids and studying at the same time made friends with this guy 8yrs older then me told me he left his wife as she was messing around on him fell pregnant he was there too he asked for my number but i was jus thinking we d be friends he spoke to me for wks then sent me a fox holding a purple heart i looked at it when he rang i said are u coming onto me he said i was goin to aske u for a date dated for 3 months im 59 by the way i met him when i was 56 thought i was past my used by date lol 3 yrs we,v been together ive never felt so content relaxed happy after being single for nearly 30 yrs thank u God so theres hope for me ppls theres hope for u guys dont give up and dont put love on your age heck u can find love at 90 God bless everyone xox
If someone starts 'love bombing' you straight away, he's either a scammer or a Narcissist, run for your life.
Yeah or OJ Simpson.
Either way, you're better off alone!
Or a Christian who's out to convert you.
100%
EXACTLY!
“I need money to buy barrels”
I can’t😂😂😂
Or the one who needs money to pay for babysitters? A bunch of them. That was super ridiculous 😛
So many stalled relationships over one partner not purchasing their barrels 😭
Barrels of what? Monkeys? Laughs? Oil?
Same thought. And she sent the money for the barrels.🙈🙈🙈
Many of these women have led rather sheltered lives. Also, loneliness can make a person take chances they otherwise might not.
I'd love this channel to do more happy stories, because these can demonstrate what *green* flags look like, as opposed to the red ones we see waving in the sunset as their money sails off. Maybe one day they can do one on my husband and me.
I'd rather see my mom with a real guy 25 yrs younger than a fake digital guy.
Yeah like it’s crazy because most women here are desperate, she’s not really that. She obviously had no issues getting and finding men, her therapist gave her bad advice and didn’t warn her.
Same here, I'd rather be scammed by a 'real-life' person, than by some fake profile online! That is embarrassing as hell. 😦
She says she was in a 15-year REAL relationship with a man 25 years younger but turned down his marriage proposal. YET here she is online dating younger scammers she's never even MET!!! Totally illogical to me!
Dating in your teens: I hope he has a car
Dating in your 20's: I hope he has a job
Dating in your 30's: I hope he's mentally stable
Dating 40's and up: I hope he's a real person
I'm becoming so okay with the idea of being a cute little old maid
Yeah, I decided that, at 30, I never wanted to marry again after 7 years of marriage. I dated in my 30's, thinking I could meet a decent guy to go out and do things and he'd live in his home, me in mine. Never found that, so in my 40's decided to stop dating, and it has been the best decision of my life. Too many men are just pests, especially after you meet them, lol.
@@cmcordoYT You are my hero 🙏🏾
@@mundaneamazing Thank you.
This is so true!
people are sooo needy and pathetic.....
That is so sweet of her to send $50,000 to 1 scammer... and now she is going to spread the love around to a new scammer.... she is an angel
Is there enough money left for a second scammer?
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Yes, big oil operations ask random women online for money in order to buy barrels. Makes total sense to me.
Imagine your employer, a multi national oil company, forces you to use your own money to hire an employee to replace you. And that payment is made by your internet girlfriend sent to the replacement employee's wife. Why do these scammed people think this is normal.
Exactly! They live in fantasy world where everything these total strangers say is true.
Add to that, not doing a regular Bank transfer (which ANY company Accountant will demand) but shady Bitcoin/Gift Cards/etc.
@@fahey5719 It doesn't matter how money is exchanged, nobody should ask another person for money like he did. They never met, she doesn't know him and is not related to him in any way, he was supposed to be her "boyfriend" and asks for money? If a stranger asks for any money online, my response???? "Piss off".
Sounds like a bad soap opera story.
Student loan scammers wouldn't stop bothering me. So when they fished I told them I owed half a million. They were excited, until I told them it was in Bullwinkle bucks. They don't have any problem wasting my time, but boy did they get mad!
The moment “a man” says crypto, Bitcoin or gift card your conversation should logically BE OVER.
As soon as he mentions WHATSAPP as well.
exactly, even if it was a real person, if they cant handle their life any better than asking internet friends for money they are a red flag!
Also words to look out for- "my queen", "have you eaten?" and "my frozen bank account"
Yup, dating a single mother is a huge no, but getting a teen stepdaughter is literally life-threatening situation to put yourself in.
Shoot, the second he calls me “babe” I’m out
Don’t these victims wonder how the scammers paid for things beforehand? Like this guy who needed $2K for his son’s “surgery,” how would he have paid for that before? And how did these scammers pay for food, bills, and rent before? It’s so ridiculous. 🤦🏻♂️
I think they have a savior complex. They like saving men. It's bizarre.
And supposedly they're wealthy. Lol. Why he need you then Queen? I've been in a long distance relationship for a year and NEVER ONCE asked each other for ANYTHING. Just love & support. People do things when they want and are not obligated to.
What hospital demands you pay the copay first before you get the procedure!? You always get the bill later!
I met a woman online and her car broke down. She never asked me for money, but hinted that she needed money. I simply asked her if she had any friends that could help her because I didn't know her very well. Not sure if she was a scammer, but I found it odd.
Some woman only look at his good looks
He calls her queen and she's hooked line and sinker
But forgot one important thing, he's 19 and she is 60
😒Its getting harder and harder to feel sorry for these people. They are their own worst enemies.
I'm 53. Was married for 27 years. Had never heard of catfish before (I didn't used to watch Dr phil or any of these shows) I STILL knew you don't give free money away to anyone! I have never been asked for money by a man. I use online dating but only within 60 miles from my town. Have to meet in a week or blocked! It's really not that hard
I don't
that is a good reason to feel bad for them. It is too bad she ended up falling for romance scammers I feel bad for her imagine how difficult it must be to be that easily fooled? I really hope the experience can change that but it saddens me to see this middle-aged men and women be this vulnerable, of course we cringe because we know better but what does that say about the mental health and commonsense of so many ?
(the ones who are assholes I cant stand but the ones that are just ridiculously gullible I feel bad for, being easily fooled doesn't make you a bad person just a less functional one)
tydr They must have serious commonsense of mental health issues that make them more vulnerable than the rest of us who don't, scammers want you to ridicule them it distracts you from the issue of exploitation of human vulnerability that they get rich off.
@@aprioriontoast704 I guess you're right. The elderly, etc. But those who cheats on their partner and squanders their child's future investments, I don't feel sorry for indeed, like you said.
@@sandyn3384 ya even if the person hypothetically wasn't a scammer they where talking too cheating and squandering their child's future investments is unethical .
