SHOULD BE TITLED - Man loses money to a woman who scammed him with “love and adoration”. She could have accomplished the same thing selling used socks.
Yup, a pretty lady can vacuum dah money outta dah pockets of quite a few men. Props to the reporter for self control, she did not laugh her head off at this man’s foolishness. How appropriate the term, Pig Butchering😂🤣
Man thought he had a beauty drooling over him, all he had to do is send her money and eventually she would show up in dah fleas to part lifer with him. Now he wants to get his money back! How ungrateful he is, after all she spent time feeding his fantasies!
I don’t like to see anyone lose money but how is this a crypto scam? A “wrong number” calls and it happens to be an attractive girl so he goes in $100k without any research and it’s a crypto scam? Nah he thought with the wrong head and gave it to a dude in Nigeria! Also who can retire on $100K?? This isn’t a crypto scam it’s a dumb man scam!
The way she got him is by bringing up his ethnicity which is Slavic. Sometimes people who have a similar background or ethnicity they can easily scam you. That's why that man grew comfortable with her.
From $7K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
Christina josef understanding of market indicators is impressive. She knows exactly when to enter and exit trades for maximum profit. her siignals are top notch
Don’t be confuse buying the dip in a bear market, with guaranteed future returns. Just because that company is down 60%+ from ATH does NOT make it a sound long-term investment. Make sure you’re investing in great companies. kudos to christina josef
I had a scammer calling me for a month. "Connor Thompson" was his name, but the dude was clearly East Indian. I kept leading him along like I was going to give him money but I would come up with an excuse to waste his time. After about a month of this, the guy eventually snapped! Calling me names insulting my mother, lol. It was hilarious. Over and over again, I just kept baiting him, then nothing. Until he just couldn't take it anymore and snapped.
@@momentumstocks3493 no. Take some time. Listen to Michael Saylor and Jeff booth. Look at stuff. Think. If you take some time you’ll soon realize it’s going to be bigger than the internet.
@mp2753 why does it make sense? You think bitcoin will just keep rising in value forever? The average personal loan has an annual 8-20% interest rate. That's how much I need to make every year just to break even, without repaying the principle. Don't encourage people to do irresponsible things.
Rules: Don't answer unknown phone calls. If a stranger mentions the word 'crypto' or 'investment', immediately hang up the phone. And Never have more than 10% of your investments in crypto if you have already decided to invest in this speculative asset. Otherwise, stick with traditional securities and real estate.
If you feel lonely or have low self-esteem for whatever reason, that is not a good time to be getting into romantic relationships. You need to work on yourself first. If you're not considered conventionally attractive and a young attractive person confesses love for you, you are likely getting scammed or have to pay up energetically. We tend to partner with similar people in terms of social status. Age and attractiveness are part of social privilege.
Yea that’s really the biggest problem here…romance scams which target the most lonely people. Do you have any clue going years without a romantic partner, you would give up anything for an opportunity to be with somebody including all your money. That’s why romance scams are so successful. We live in a society with so many lonely desperate people. Sorta like fake jobs that lure desperate unemployed people to give their personal information, romance scams lure desperately lonely people to give all their money in exchange for love and greater financial riches. That’s why I see this rinsing and repeating. It’s a risk that feels totally worth it when you’re an average Joe and you finally experience a pleasure you haven’t experienced in decades.
I hope this video goes viral and someone who typically spends his life savings on purses reups him 10 fold. God bless that man. That is so sad. $70k isn’t a lot for most people but it is for people who have worked hard for it. Who are we to judge?
This scam also happen alot in indonesia. They are targeting lonely men or women. They try to pretend to be lovers. And in the end they swindle you till your bank dry. They swindle first around 10.000 then more and more till dry.
It’s amazing these people never heard the old sayings. “If it’s to good to be true, it usually is”. “Never give a sucker an even break”. “You made your bed, now you lie in it”. Greed is always the main motivator in all con games.
Yea, they left out the romance scam part..and to me, he paid for companionship of a beautiful MUCH younger girl in turn for "her"😂 to to send him a few," i love you" did you eat today" " you are my forever love" after two weeks of chatting JUST online.😂😂😂
The "SIMP" in him cost him big. Yeah he trusted her over the phone because she had a sweet voiced?... 😆 poor old guy from generations past, he has no clue these women nowadays are nothing like the women of his generation.
Rule #1 in investing. Never invest what you can’t afford to loose. Never invest with someone you have not done your homework on. Company or private investor. So this guy received a cold call and invested his life savings with a complete stranger. Says it’s all…
Why do you show a picture of Bitcoin at the beginning of this piece? It has nothing to do with this story. You are either badly misinformed or you are spreading misinformation. You should be ashamed.
I don't know if he would call some vulnerable old guy getting taking advantage of a stupid tax. Hopefully if this happens to your dad or grandparents you'll show a little more empathy.
I do not get it..he was already in crypto so he knew So now he goes with an unknown as well Me think guy was looking for girl friend, lover and got sucked in .
I'm sorry for the guy, but to say he can't retire now ... ? I mean, he only had $70K in savings, so he probably wasn't going to be retiring anyway if he needs to count on savings. $70K wouldn't take him very far. I wonder how much he would have invested if the caller had been a man. Imma say zero.
Rule#1 Never believe in easy money return. Rule#2 The only real money in return is your job. Rule#3 Follow rule#1 and rule#2, then you'll be just fine.
Invest $70k into certain safe investments. Earn 10% interest per year. $70,000 * 10% = $7000 earned per year in (passive income/another source of income). Not only that, but $70k invested -> is a good chunk that can easily correlate to creating“generational wealth” for your decendants.
😢Can’t blame him for wanting female company, but perhaps he wanted to date much younger ladies and he being far into his senior years but not wanting to date ladies of his generation, he used the little money he had to attract them much younger ones. The fact that a young hot looking female cold call him, he thought the heavens answered his prayer but alas, the happy luv ending was not to be. 😭 A tear yanker of a story, worthy of a movie, maybe even a sequel.
The same thing happened to me and I'm still dealing with the bs I lost my money and I want it back but crypto says I have to pay the taxes so they can release my money to me and idk what to do or who to talk to about this situation this happened to me last year and my life has been a mess ever since idk how I can get help
Always aim video call...face to face cam live ...full stop....i had chat scammer and told em let go video call then he or she refused..then i block em bye ..i knew it scammers
high risk-high return. Bitcoin during covid was 3-6g bitcoin now is around 60g over 1,000% in a few years. On wall street nearby that's called a tenbagger!
@@michaelstollairetbarceo3287 Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger wouldn’t have anything to do with Bitcoin. Charlie Munger was especially critical of cryptocurrencies.

Rule number one goes back to when you were a kid and your parents told you don’t talk to strangers.
🤣
It’s great advice for grownups too but obviously not everyone aware.
I'd reply to this comment...
But I don't know you.
@eternaldarkness3139 😅😅😅😅
Yeah 100%
rule no 1 when it comes to investing.....NEVER follow through with a cold call.....NEVER
Never accept internet communication with strangers
I usually put them on mute, crank up the volume to my music, and unmute the call to get back at them. Their anger is music to my ears, lol.
Common sense...
Bro thought he was getting tail. come on, this was the only reason why this scam became possible
SHOULD BE TITLED - Man loses money to a woman who scammed him with “love and adoration”. She could have accomplished the same thing selling used socks.
Yes, another catfish scam. Profiting from people’s greed, on both sides.
Crypto bros really triggered. Would be a lot harder scamming someone with a stock broker since it's all trackable.

Homie thought he was going to get sum!
I never pick up a call when I'm not expecting A call
Right. If it's important, they can leave a voice-mail and I'll get back to them.

It's their agenda to attack crypto at every opportunity possible
I could live very well with $100,000. Even $10,000 would change my life..Donate to my breast reduction. Link in my bio
The site she sent him to for the transactions wasn't real. That's a scam.
From $7K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
I agree just reached my goal of $500k monthly trade earnings. Setting realistic goals is an essential part of trading

I fell for a romance scam too.
Marriage
@@eternaldarkness3139 yeah, we all fell for that one!
@@eternaldarkness3139 😂😂😂😂😂

@@SwishaMane420 But not with a TOTAL stranger !

Let’s be real this guy was going to work till he dies anyway. 100k isn’t going far these days.
Yeah, and it wasn't even 100K -- 30K was a loan he took out. His savings amounted to 70K.
People lose thier savings everyday at the casinos in Vegas🤷♂️

Don’t believe in people YOU HAVE NEVER MET.
The key point in this scam is that the scammer had a female picture and voice. This man fell for the oldest and most obvious scam in history.
I hope this video goes viral and someone who typically spends his life savings on purses reups him 10 fold. God bless that man. That is so sad. $70k isn’t a lot for most people but it is for people who have worked hard for it. Who are we to judge?
Wait so $70,000 was his life savings And he was going to retire on $70,000
Alot these biden dayz😂
Who cares ??? maybe he was going to retire in a country where this amount is enough !
Bro got taken to the slaughter. Bc of his greed. But they will say crypto is bad bc of this.
This scam also happen alot in indonesia. They are targeting lonely men or women. They try to pretend to be lovers. And in the end they swindle you till your bank dry. They swindle first around 10.000 then more and more till dry.
Try to pretend to be lovers?
um ... no one can retire on $70K anyways.
When most people don't have $400 in emergency savings, $70k is a GREAT start.
It’s amazing these people never heard the old sayings. “If it’s to good to be true, it usually is”. “Never give a sucker an even break”. “You made your bed, now you lie in it”.
Greed is always the main motivator in all con games.
Man wasn’t going to retire in San Diego on $80k anyhow. Buy and hold Bitcoin is the only advice anyone needs. Can’t be scammed if you hold.
Yeah ..I thought the same
I'm sorry to hear old man.😢
Poor man, lied by a woman. Poor man...
I sense sarcasm ...🤣
just sad. People need to learn basic financial basics. Try taking out your $$ .. if there are issues then quit. quit now, not Later.
He said “ now I must work until he die” That’s truly sad, Somebody make this man a go fund page please.
What, he never heard the old adage NEVER PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET?
The old saying, “Something sounds too good to be true, it probably is!”
Yea this is the bottom of the barrel scam.... we all kno this scam.. this has been going on for a decade , this isn't new
This guy was looking to get lucky in more ways than one.
wait so he put in 70K? umm sorry but thats not enough to retire
cant feel sorry for idiots sending money.
He wanted something else
Ultimate simp
Poor men… usually its older ppl who fall to huge scams
I had the same thing done to me. I hate crypto and i ended the conversation
Investments can go down as well as up
He planned to retire on only $70,000 ??. Fuhget-about-it
DTA: Don't trust anyone.
What!! From an unknown caller!? Wow…you made that scammers day! Easy peezy…..😮
Yea, they left out the romance scam part..and to me, he paid for companionship of a beautiful MUCH younger girl in turn for "her"😂 to to send him a few," i love you" did you eat today" " you are my forever love" after two weeks of chatting JUST online.😂😂😂
Dude the hole bag ?
The power of the P.U.S.S.Why! Just remember folks... Not your keys, Not your crypto.
Damn, did not do his own research
This is 1% to do with crypto
99% to do with him making a bad choice.
The "SIMP" in him cost him big. Yeah he trusted her over the phone because she had a sweet voiced?... 😆 poor old guy from generations past, he has no clue these women nowadays are nothing like the women of his generation.
A real friend would told she was not real
They did their homework, already knew about his family background & was into crypto.
Rule #1 in investing.
Never invest what you can’t afford to loose.
Never invest with someone you have not done your homework on.
Company or private investor.
So this guy received a cold call and invested his life savings with a complete stranger.

Don't let greed or lust take over.
Sometimes in life some people need to learn lessons the hardway. Accept the loss and move on.

@@ronbo30 absolutely not … he himself is dumb .

I do not get it..he was already in crypto
so he knew
So now he goes with an unknown as well
Me think guy was looking for girl friend, lover and got sucked in .
Its easy to pinpoint those people who do bad things to other people. WHY THE AUTHORITY IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ON IT.
no he thought she was cute thats why
I'm sorry for the guy, but to say he can't retire now ... ? I mean, he only had $70K in savings, so he probably wasn't going to be retiring anyway if he needs to count on savings. $70K wouldn't take him very far. I wonder how much he would have invested if the caller had been a man. Imma say zero.
SIMP alert 🚨
A cautionary tale…..
When they start asking for money turn and run away.
it's got nothing to do with crypto
More FUD hand delivered by the media. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy . . .
So he got catfished lmao 😂
a few idiots will probably try to start a go fund me for him....which will turn out to be a scam.
