It’s kinda sad how people fall for these scams as they are desperate for love/ companionship
Happens to the best of us. Some in real life some online. Either way we believe them.
yea...reminds me of traditional marriage.
Look at what happened to paul mcCartney, scammers are Everywhere.
You literally can’t trust Anyone, not even your own mother.
@@JLamstudio what are you talking about why did you bring him up 🤣
U should see 90 day fiancé
Romance scammers make me angry. I love trying to waste their time
@Carpe Diem You don't have to wait, sign up for Telagram messenger, they are there by boatloads.
Dating scam is so dark
The thrill of playing those scammers back at their own game is just simply priceless
How do I
@@robertspender4286 I can tell how I do it.
I scam bait. I waist their time.
@@jeffreyburney6161 It's a pleasure watching them explode with rage.
U don't do anything but waste ur own time lol they have tons of people they contact
I'm a grandfather and never understood internet dating. In the old days you meet at school....Church...weddings and family and friends set you on dates.....You can't fake face to face.....Looks like old school is the best......Takes longer but hey, never lost a penny to over it.
I'm 33 myself and I totally agree with you
@@fotoz2363 same. 33 and still single because I cannot get the online dating thing.
@@vivianscircle I'm from East European union -> Slovakia, it's far easier over here to find a partner than in the west
Agreed I am in my 40s. Meet at a laundromat or coffee shop.
Well, when the pandemic hit, especially if people weren’t able to go out and interact with the whole people, turn to the Internet to interact with people and that’s how song people ended up dating people then there’s other people who are disabled, who can’t get out and actually meet people so either they play video games online or they talk to people online and end up dating them
Do you have feelings for your victims? Do you see it as stealing? Do you feel superior to your victims? Have any of your victims ever tracked you down to collect what they have paid for?
Send No MONEY..period
Scammers are scum bags.
The publisher's clearinghouse (pch) scammers are probably the worst.
💯
Who cares what you think 💭
Literally 🙄 like do people actually win because you can apply for years and they probably wouldn’t pick you I actually tried it and I never won
Scammers are everywhere. I keep getting calls from India as they pretend to be Canada Revenue Agency and Social Security trying to scare me that I will be arrested if I don't give money now. I have never fallen for these scams, but there are old and vulnerable people that do get taken advantage of. I understand that these scammers are trying to make a living, but scamming money from vulnerable people is not right. I watch these scam videos to make myself aware of the dander out there.
I could care less if they’re trying to make a living. They all should be arrested and do 5 to 20 years hard labor
Our world has changed so much. It’s simply filled with garbage humans whom lack any morals!!😡
This is an absolute disgrace. They should be arrested the same way as bank robbers stealing money from a bank
They should have to do 5 years hard labor
It happened to people i know….not strange I am glad Marianna is doing this !
This is strange. Btw it's always nice to know something new..😁😁
😡
Its nothing new. Its been going on for 10+ years,. Friend of my family got taken so much by them that he printed out his bank codes and sent to them, because the tricked him that they needed it to put money on his bank account...
Needless to say when his social security was due to be paid they taken it all for themselves. It ended up so bad, that he did not even have enough money for his medication, so he got a cerebral hemorrhage and ended up in the hospital. But did that stop him?.... Of course not... Still believed in their lies of fortune and gold, and kept sending them money. Smh,... The guy also believed he was married through E-mail as well to some woman in Ghana. He sold his tractor and took out sms bank loans of which there were 100% interest rates on etc.....
It ended all with he could only afford sausages and eggs to live on.... He has since passed away and his entire estate was auctioned out. SO yeah, it was really a bad case of online scamming. They basically took everything from this guy. And you know how it goes... Ppl around him tried to tell him. But to no avail.
DON'T PLAY THE GAME AND YOU CAN'T LOSE!
I love that NG saw the skill and talent Mariana has! Glad she got away from vice
I feel like NG is becoming more like the old Vice used to be.
Scammers: there's a fool born every minute 😂🤣
Lonely people :
" STAY OFF THE INTERNET. " I'd rather B alone, than get played.
Wow amazing..
Watching.and reading today's newspaper...thinking I'll stay to places I've visited before.
Hope karma gets all of them.
Amen.
Good to know
Well this is interesting
Wow that was sad and awful😳
They were different from History, and all the other stations back when I first watched them. Now they’ve changed dramatically
Nice 😃
That is scary
Throw them in jail
Or prison.
Or in a cell
Epic
Well, you just gave a wild idea to lurkers 🤦
Like the show, Criminal Minds, they give ideas to sickco's.
Yeah like the movie scream and chainsaw massacre gave ideas 💀
@@iheartjbgccb Scream was taken from The Gainsville killings by Danny Rollings(sic)
Nice
Sad 😞
Good
Thank you for the tips🤗
Hmmmm! My goodness.
Wow scammers
A scammer once said if you are stupid enough to believe me it’s your fault. The problem with most of these guys is all the blood in their brain went down below their waist and they’re brain dead lol!
Don't mean to victim blame but everyone should be wary of everyone especially when you haven't met them 😅 if these people were happy with themselves they wouldn't need to be looking online like that
What a justification. Abusing people weakness and ignorance is never justified. They are dangerous predators and should be prosecuted.
@@davidfdzp ppl are grown enough to not send money to strangers online... Did ur parents meet online? Its not a justification. If the payment isn't unauthorized the person needs to grow up and actually take the time in their life to educate themselves about the internet
Strange things the people do for living!
Que susto!!!
This show is the feds!!
She needs to investigate the stolen bicycle 🚲 game. I'm in Denver Colorado and it's really bad here.
I like the old school ways
I started doin this.. You wouldnt believe the $$$$
Fr
But why scam? I honestly would not mind chatting with someone as a job.
People that fall for it want to be sold a dream. They want to be chatting with beautiful women that are in love with them, not just someone as a friend.
If you're foolish enough to fall for these scams, it's your own fault.
Lol wait for the day two scammers scam each other
there are lots of romance scammers on the "words with friends" scrabble phone app game. I can spot them a mile away.
That was some useful info
AFRICA!!!! AWOO💪 !!!!!!
Why don’t they get suspicious when a beautiful lady keeps asking money from them?
Because all the blood in their brain rushes down south is why.
I don't understand it. "hey, you're cute, give me money" haha
Good for him
Hiii
I'm waiting session 2 on Disney hotstar
ES IGUAL A CARMINA DE AVENIDA BRAZIL
How has NatGeo changed to this?
İi
lol. The more amazing part is someone is actually dumb enough to send a random stranger money.
This reminds me of David and Lana from 90DF 🤣
I’m in love with Marianna. ❤😊
👁
I would often just mess around on these sites they're almost never seriously for dating just some dumb flings
😨
👀
Cause & effect is Strict
It's easy to explain. Everything that's harmful stimulates the brain, and everything that's beneficial doesn't.
I want to see a non scamming site and I still searching I think seriously they find women in space before we do it on Earth.
This was cringe to watch
Who will run after all types of scammers ⁉️
What about the people who designed these dating sites?
Yeah, I've signed up for a dating site and it was rather high-tech, you set up a free profile but as soon as you were done you would magically be getting 5-10 super hot chicks contacting you but of course, when you never get responses back eventually you realize the scam when the initial surge of response dries up and the fake interest in you goes away.
it won’t last
I have a mask like that!!!
Is this a crime?
Scamming is a crime. Probably an indictable-only offence.
@@johnb6723 being dum is a crime lol.. how can a normal person fall for this
Sheaiiitttt
Why she not arrested
Carminha tá diferente
Code green
World is full of lonely mens 😥
Women are lonely as well. Foolscrew us once, shame on you. Foolscrew us twice, shame on us. There will never be a third time. Dating game over at 23.
These are the part of life.with wrong or right way?
its because men are more generous that is sad though
Nope 🙅🏾
So there's a bunch of rich people with free time to waste and more money than common sense.
This is so bad
wait until michael se this
Let me go make an account real quick.....lol
Oh boy, that male ego - nobody wants to say no
"SMH" I understand being dedicated 2 just 1,but there are men,& wemen everywhere. Just get up, & get out. Gotta be really desperate,or just don't care.
Sadly they aren't happy with themselves
Hey i can't be mad at them for doing what they are doing lol. The men who are doing this are not so smart and are losing because they know how this works. It's all over social media, TH-cam, a news. So that's there fault and some are married so that's what they get for being unfaithful.
So sad. Men don’t report because most of them are married and doing this right under their wife’s nose!!
I always knows they are scammer... I m vry religious person any bad aura i can sense them.
am I a bad person?
Sociopaths 😡
Bill gates traveled to jeffrey epsteins Island for at least 17 times.
Updating window?
He does it for the children.
@@briangreen1781. Bill Gates Is: A SICK INDIVIDUAL!!!!
It was nice knowing you
And former president Bill Clinton did it 27 times!
I need to get in on this because looking for actual love ain’t working for me
There are thousands more Stupid Guys than Scammers. It's Supply and Demand. No Stupid Gullible men, No business for Scammers...
Men do better job even playing a woman! No kidding!
This is why the Christian Church has a vested interest in helping lonely men like me to make love connections with women!
The Christian Church has a vested interest in taking your lonely money.
I like the guy’s gold mask. Is he single?
Essa mulher na tumb tá parecendo a Carminha
Muito! Cliquei achando que fosse ela
I did not understand anything
That's good. Send me some money and I'll explain.
You rube
