🆕WATCH NEXT: Woman Insists Romance Scammer Is Real!: th-cam.com/video/jiEdCQTtVhQ/w-d-xo.html
Poor guy got his gorgeous pics stolen and used for robbery! I had a guy chat me upon FB from Nigeria pretending to be Nigerian actor who am a fan of! He got so frustrated, I did not give him the opportunity to ask for money. He told me he has a business proposal. All I did was tell him all my family obligations one after the other he got frustrated and left me alone! 😆😄
ANYONE ON LINE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW, DO NOT SEND YOUR MONEY TO!!! IT'S ALL A SCAM!!! DON'T DO IT NO MATTER WHAT SOB STORY THEY GIVE YOU!!! PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE NOT THE PERSON YOU THINK THAT THEY ARE!!! KEEP YOUR MONEY AND PERSONAL INFORMATION TO YOURSELF. I FIND IT SO TERRIBLY SAD THAT PEOPLE FALL FOR THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY. 😢 GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏🙌❤️
These women need to take
responsibility as effectively they are partly to blame. In love? Buying your own engagement ring 8:29 ? Then she looks for another man? David? Unreal. Wise up sweetheart.
Hi, are the participants of this series real or actors. Someone stated this victim was on Judge Judy. Red flag when people jump between different TV opportunities.
Oh my gosh. This woman gets scammed by one then believes another scammer can get her money back. How on earth do these women get so desperate?
Shit I’m another female snd I’ll talk to you for free. She could call me. I’m a old widow. Lol I’ll talk to her for free. I don’t even want money sent to some wallet. Lol I have no idea what a wallet is! Lol
How is she gonna call someone stupid after sending him $300k???
😂
Yeah, I was waiting for him to reply something like that 😁
She reminds me greatly of a woman whom used to live near my passed grandma. She was a kept woman, married a military guy who did everything for her. When he passed she started mooching off my grandma who was a good decade older. She never worked, had kids, hobbies-she was a sort of parasite and not bright at all.
I bet this woman is like that. That apartment building she owned with her sister was likely gifted to her by their parents. I don’t really agree with all these comments talking about how nice she is. She is stupid, superstitious , gullible, selfish, lonely, miserable, ugly and old. Why does being negative and weak in all aspects of life make one nice? All she seems to really be able to do us waste wealth and make criminals rich.
Rant over.
😂😂😂😂
Send anyone just $ 100k and call him stupid forever!!
Tip: if someone tells you that he is on a ‘secret mission’, they are not on a secret mission. Because it’s secret.
Exactly. They ain't gonna be blabbing about it on the Internet! C'mon lady!
A military doctor on a "secret" mission???!!
😂 True.
😂😂😂
The secret mission is to steal!
$42,000 on her OWN engagement ring!!?! Are you kidding me? I’m just trying to pay rent every month! 🤦🏻♀️
These women have too much time and money on their hands. 42k for a ring in any universe it’s way too much especially when you have to buy it yourself. Unbelievable 😏
👍 me 2!!!❤
Boomers.
👍
Do you hear me? I'm just speechless 😢
I'm still pissed at myself for wasting $80 on cab fare in Paris and this woman sent $300K to a scammer and was like, oh well.
Different worlds!
Her ring is over 2 years of income for me. Worked 2 jobs last year and just made over 21,000. I don't understand how soooo many ppl have at a minimum I've seen on these videos is 20k then u have ppl sending 300,000 and upwards of a million dollars and I just don't know what jobs these ppl have to make that much money.
But he called her Queen!
The Nigerian community is for ever grateful for all the financial support from Karen.
😂😂😂😂
Because a community of low life thieves should feel so proud of fleecing vulnerable elderly people, right?
Ain't that the truth!!!😂
The filthy slaves
😂😂😂
When someone half your age wants to start a romance with you, it’s a scam.
Not only half her age, but a physician who looks like Super Hero and is on a "mission" but shshshsh. "I can only tell you because you are my queen, although I have talked to you once". It's really beyond delusion.
I never date someone old enough to be my parent, or young enough to be my kid.
Yeah he wants a sugar mama.
When his pictures look like professional model pics - also a scam
When hes white but has a nigerian accent - also a scam
When he starts asking for money - DEFINITELY a scam
Maybe I've spent too much time online but I can tell very quickly when a profile is fake. I've been in fb groups where an obvious fake profile posts a selfie and the entire group starts thinking with the wrong head (not seeing it's obviously fake). You can just tell something is off. I could write an essay on the red flags you know? Should I feel bad for them for not seeing very obvious red flags? With all due respect, why would this super model be so interested in you? People need to associate asking for money with scams.
"Plenty of Fish" = "Plenty of Catfish"
😅😂🤣
We used to call it Plenty of Freaks
Plenty of Mentally Challenged
It’s sad when a woman buys her own engagement ring.
Yep, handsome young doctor goes for a much much older woman and falls in love with her within 2 weeks. Definitely makes sense
And needs her money 🤔
😂🤣😂
@@shaylatanner4713 A fool and their money are easily parted!
For some reason I don't feel sorry for her. She's a category 5 idiot. Anyone sending massive amounts of money to someone they never met like this is dumb
Sounds legit... 😂
This woman is an absolute scammer's DREAM. Simply unbelievable.
Yeah and she is still absolutly delusional even after being scammed, the fact she claims that "She grilled him on everything" and after being scammed once immedeatly goes and gets scammed a second time baffles me, but I guess she has to defend herself somehow.
Thank you. She needs to be banned from online anything 😅
Honestly, she should just find a man who needs a green card wife to stay in the country. PLENTY of Africans needing that, and in some cases, they pay YOU
But...WHY....her children Don t switch OFF her comp ?????
NO! empathy for her at all! she was DESPERATE!😳🥹
Phone call to scammer was SERIOUS CRINGE! I'm embarrassed for her.
She paid someone $3k to tell her to pee in a pot, this whole thing is totally ridiculous
She learned from her mistakes, and then repeated them exactly
Then got confused about who the original scammer was
When someone 25+ years younger who says they're on a secret mission convinces you to buy a $42,000 engagement ring despite having never met you, there's a slight problem with your romance!
Women shouldn't be cougars.
SLIGHT 🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣. It's a JOKE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
SLIGHT 🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣. It's a JOKE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There isn't a slight problem, there is a very big problem there because if he promised her that he'll return for her, why would she buy herself a ring when he could have done that upon his return. I think this woman is lying and she lied to her family that she had met the guy in person and further that he gave her that ring. That explains why she doesn't want her family to be involved in the show.😳
I would never even accept an engagement ring at that price. Sorry. I'd tell him, listen, honey, take it bake to the jeweller, give me the money, and I can buy a small apartment in Wuppertal and rent it out, collecting rent every month instead of wasting the money on a ring I don't even want.
Two of his friends fell off the boat and he jumped in to save them and he lost his phone and wallet. He's just a true hero! This woman is too old to be this naive!
😂😂😂lord have mercy with some of these stories
You would think. But there is a saying. There is no fool like an old fool
Love and wanting someone really blinds some to real BS!!!
Lol lol
Naive is too mild a word; she is a stupid, dirty old lady who thought she was buying young meat.
The numbing in her hands is a sympton of that mysterious ailment called getting old.
Dammit! I thought it was a Nigerian virus!
Could be diabetes but that usually only happens after years…:(
how do people still fall for this BS?
" why are you scamming me?????" Seriously???? I'm scamming you for one simple reason: $300,000!!!!
Scamming her for 300 thousand reasons!
Good looking doctors don't need to use internet dating.
🎯
Yup the don’t need it -at allllllllll
Non good looking Drs don't look for online dating either lol
Good looking doctors have more romance options than Church's has Chicken.
😄
actually good looking people are the only ones who _can_ use internet dating.
Whenever anyone makes a dating profile, the first sentence should be "I have no money; if you ask me for money, all communications will be stopped and I will report you to the site."
I put it on mine. I put my age, location and after introducing myself I said (made a short video on one dating site. It was required and free from scammers pretty much. At least free from scammers overseas) I then put in capital letters
I ONLY DATE LOCAL SO IF YOU'RE MORE THAN 50 MILES AWAY PLEASE DONE RESPOND
I ALSO DON'T ASK STRANGE MEN FOR MONEY AND I DON'T GIVE STRAGE MEN MONEY. IM NOT LOOKING FOR A OEN PAL OR A TEXTING BUDDY.
NO FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS.
What kind of autistic statement is this? Scams are beyond obvious if you have a half a functioning just don’t message them at all??
I met one in person 2x and then he asked me for money. I'm disgusted by him. Haven't messaged him again.
I met a nice guy 2 weeks ago online and he turned out to be my classmate. We've got out a few times. And we're taking things slow. But its promising.
Exactly
@@lanigirl01i dont care
She must be very narcissistic to think these men would go for her
She may have lost $42,000 on her engagement ring but she didn't lose her sense of humor ‼️😂💍
I LOVE HER for that sense of humor!😂❤😂😂😂😂
I would rather loose my sense of humor!
Still a mentally ill person though.
Or to unload all that burdensome money on all those handsome fake faces!
I’m a middle aged bald guy with alot of miles on me. If ANY woman half my age starts talking to me online, I automatically know it’s a scam. Especially if she’s smoking hot. I’m not delusional enough to believe that young hotties are looking for guys like me. 🤣
Aren't you a smart cookie.lol
We live in a very small sleepy town in norfolk uk, yet my 60 year old husband gets often friend request from 20 year old model looking stunning women, we always have a good laugh cause it always says that they live in our town and the only 'friends' they have on their fb lage r middle age males lol we always ask for a meet up but somehow they never could lol
Lol
Only if they are seeking a Sugar Daddy or a Fool!
oh she thinks shes a rocket
Can't believe her family trusted her to go to an online dating site again.
This lady is stupid yet has the audacity to call the scammer stupid. She sent all this money to him, spent money on her own engagement ring... that's a first. Also, a "top secret" mission in North Korea?! He wouldn't even have a phone or internet access!
I hope she learned her lesson. Damn
She made a mistake very stupid of you to rub it in by calling her stupid nobody is perfect like you
Maybe a 75 IQ
I’m old and there’s no way in hell I would believe a hunk like that would EVER be interested in me.. wth wrong with these women
@@Mrs.TJTaylor ❤️❤️
Raging narcissism and scummy morals.
Hey baby, 😘 you wanna chat?
She is either extremely narcissistic or her mirror is broken.
They are lonely and blinded by wishful thinking.
We grew up with our parents/grandparents telling us not to talk to strangers now the roles are reversed and we have to tell them the same and not to send them money!!
Good point
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very great point!!! I just don’t understand. Always in the military on a secret misdion
spot on!!!
So she was scammed by another scammer who lied and said he was going to protect her!? You can’t make this sh*t up! I’m sure the Nigerians are best friends sitting next to each other on their computers high fiving and taking bets to see who’s going to end up with more money!! Even if the white guy was real, he’s young enough to be her son!! I’m an RN, trust me, doctors have women flirting with them constantly!! I’ve never cheated on my husband but I’ve had doctors say very inappropriate things to me and heard about many affairs in the hospital!
I have a video marathon today watching these people who got scammed. And they are all being called a "Queen" or a "King" Lol
I wonder how many dishonest people are watching these shows to get ideas.
This lady is nicely presented, it shouldn’t be difficult for her to find a real person locally ❤
It's actually very hard, once you are over 50. Just true!
@@diane4488 there are alot old guys too in this world wtf.
The problem is she wants someone young and hot. She needs to be realistic and mature and date someone who actually likes her
@@guccilady1017 how u Know her thats she dates only young guys ? I think she just didnt saw the right Guy. Im sure she would date now a 55 year or 60 year old Guy after catfish
Not a 35 year old oozing with muscles like she’s trying to 😄
It’s amazing how much $$$ people have just laying around for scammers.
A fool and their money are easily parted.
She lost most of her investment gains. Others have put themselves in debt to pay these scammers. Why? I can understand falling for someone sweet talking you but to put yourself in severe financial debt at an age where jobs may be hard to find and at a time you should be enjoying the fruits of your labour, I just can't understand that part.
I just wonder...where all these people get all that money to being with. Maybe they should be scammed! 🤔
Boomers
@@bratzboyz The baby boomer gen grew up with the most intact families, in the best economic period in US history for regular working class people, etc.
I still don’t understand people who stay in love with someone they never saw
I hate when people tell her it's not her fault. IMO it's 100% her fault.
yeah these people need to stop doing that.
Have some compassion, my guy
Paid $42,568 for an engagement ring and received a gum ball machine ring instead... 😅🥴
i genuinely can’t believe people like her exist. i’m speechless
She paid for the engagement 😂😂
They do and it doesn’t just happen to older women a friend of mine met an age appropriate like for like, she was hot he was hot both similar in age years ago before this took off.. she was in a low point in life and he managed to get over £80K from her.
There not trying to deliberately hurt you - they want your $$$ !!!
It’s pronounced LAY-GOES!!!
Same here - where do they find these people? Are they actors? Or just random bored people who purposely get caught up in the nonsense just to go on this show?
Her saying she thinks he put a voodoo spell on her says everything about her you need to know
The fake doctor who scammed her told her that
LoL that was part of their scam, she didn’t assume that.
I’m sure she believes all the Q anon crap too
It’s not her fault? Personal responsibility is totally gone!
I was livid when I heard that. I have a question for her and her idiotic therapist. Had she taken out a loan for a house or car would you read the contract before you signed it?? These grown woman giggle like kids when discussing losing hundreds of thousands of dollars! Back to my question. If a person got a loan and didn't bother reading the contract it's THEIR OWN FAULT! No one else's. I'm pretty liberal in most situations but not the new "It's not my fault" mentality,! I've done incredibly stupid things many times and I know I'll do it in the future. Best thing to do is kick yourself for being a moron then brush yourself off, learn from your idiotic decisions and go on. I hate the damn blame game!! Take some responsibility. If a person is that easily swayed that they need protection from their own stupidity they should be put into a long term care facility. Not for elderly people per se but for people unable to distinguish facts from lies.
Karen you really do seem like a nice lady, but you kept calling him stupid, and yet he made off with $70,000 plus of your money.
Lmao
lmao for real! As soon as she said that I was thinking "ummm you probably gave him a fortune"
Right!! Who’s the stupid one???
Scammer should've said "took you long enough" 🤣
@@eurobeatking Scammer probably did say "I thought you'd never catch on!" 😂
People really need to tell their parents and grandparents not to talk to strangers on the internet. If you are lonely, get a part time job or join a local group.
Ironically our parents used to tell us not to talk to strangers online…….
People really need to tell everybody not to talk to strangers on the internet. The internet is not real life.
@@lynnsmith4 true. But I meant for old people and kids who fall for scams
Buy a Puppies, or a Kitten...... MUCH CHEAPER 👍👍👍🤣🤣
Adopt a shelter animal who deserves a good life.
Yes. This has been my favorite. She realized she did wrong by these scammers doing her wrong. She called them in their bs and sought treatment. Good job, Karen
Some of these women married high school sweethearts, and had healthy marriages… they have no dating experience, lived rather sheltered, and underestimate the # of predators.
@@Alison-ku5koyes. Also used to putting up husband's bs and being loyal to men who ignored them.
The Nigerian punks don't care if they get caught. They still got her money and are still unknown. On to the next victim.
I've been binge-watching these videos for a few hours... and THIS video is one of my favorites. KUDOS to Karen for speaking her mind and finally telling the scammer what's what. For such a smart n sassy woman, it's a shame she got sucked into these fools' shenanigans. I wish her all the best.
Ive seen all of them more times than I remember. I'm a home health aide for mostly elderly women at a retirement home for wealthy people (it's 4 to 6 thousand dollars a month to live there!) and I showed a couple of ladies these videos. They had me show everyone that was in the dining room. Since then they always want to watch them. They have Internet there but most use cable TV. EVERY SINGLE one of the ladies who saw these were shocked that a person could believe these fictional stories!
@@DarlaSlett for a hot second, I thought you were gonna tel me one of your ladies fell for that blasted hokie doke.
Do you think the scammers care if they get caught? They just laugh. They pulled it off and have $$$ now. They just move on to the next sucker.
Me too , this is my last one , it’s been 2 hours gotta stop !
I feel like it would be better to just ghost the scammer, like Kitboga often does. Confronting them lets the scammer know 100% that they can close this 'case' and go to another. Ghost them, they won't know and may spend time and effort trying to reach out.
OH MY GOD, Keep this woman offline
Confiscate any and all electronics that are wifi accessible.
Online dating is for Losers. 😅!
Confronting them is like me confronting my narcissistic mother, a waste of time because they don’t care about you anyway
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So true! My Dad just passed in Nov. My Mom 2 weeks ago. I got nothing my whole life, they stole my inheritance, my self esteem, pushed religion, and even in death, I've been lied to!
I was made homeless by my brother, after having a land contract with my Mother! Devasting to think this is real.
@@americafirst6492 i haven't talked to mine in 30 yrs. just don't want to. (my parents passed w/in 2 months of each other.) can't stand liars.
Sad but true. Super difficult to comprehend.
this hits too close to home... 🙍🏾
What an absolutely precious, but gullible woman. Especially when she slipped the check at the end. She’s so sweet it breaks my heart someone would take advantage of her.
If she were sweet she'd given that money to the needy. A lot of people that deserve help more then these scammers.
These victims don’t have much common sense
This lady needs serious therapy, or she will get scammed again 🤦
She probably needs a conservator.
Yup the egg and pee?
She already has been.
Meets and falls in love with scammer. Finds out he's a scammer. Meets new scammer. Tells new scammer about old scammer. They both scam her. Could they have been the same guy?
I think so. The Plenty of Fish guy was very similar looking to the Doctor guy.
Totally the same guy, he saw her on another app 😂
It's obviously the same guy?! That's why the first guy knew about the second guy lmao
Don't forget: tells third and fourth scammers that first scammer put a voodou curse on her, and sends them money to remove it.
Heck, she lives in California (maybe SOCAL based on the outside of her house). There are plenty of Bontanicas where she could have had the curse removed by a real-live voodoun priest or priestess for under a $1,000. Support local business!
Since when do you pay thousands of dollars for your own ring???
I can’t watch it’s torture!!!
The stupidity!!!
How can ANYONE be this naïve? Ladies! If someone HALF your age is telling you they love you after a week or 2, IT'S A SCAM!
Run if anyone of any age quickly tells you they love you after one week!
@@sabrinamerrick1271 Hell, they start the I love you my queen, your so beautiful in under two minutes🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@debraolson7553 yes! They quickly use affectionate words like, “honey”, “babe”, etc. I find the use of those words to be very patronizing. But a vulnerable person may not.
No kidding, I am shocked by all of these stories, I can't believe how much money all the women seem to have just lying around to give. I would be thrilled to have those amounts in my bank account.
@@sabrinamerrick1271 Right? Huge red flag!
A lot of these older women are really delusional that a young, hot guy they never met would call them beautiful and fall immediately in love with them. As an older and realistic woman, if anyone tries that with me, I’m not buying it for a minute.
They just want to deceive themselves
Let alone TWO-of them. lol.
40s is young tho lol
@Patricia parker Early 40’s is not an older woman 😀
@@MomoKunDaYo Yes, it’s incomprehensible how she could believe this was for real 😳
Drew was tearing up a little. You truly want to help these people. Thank you.
She's having a hard time believing that people can be that cruel. Ma'am, do you read or watch the news?!
He says “I love you” & calls her “beautiful” & babe and she responds with “honey” - it’s amazing how quickly these lonely women fall for these sentiments.
Look at her - wearing all that jewelry looks ridiculous but matches the ridiculousness of the shoe polish black hair dye & smoker’s voice. These women NEVER get attention from men that is REAL. So STARVED for attention of any kind, they will do anything to keep getting it.🤯
@@davisholman8149 I think picking on her looks it just being extra mean. I can’t wrap my head around that this model hot guy 1/2 your age wants to marry you !!! I think it’s sad that ppl are that lonely.
Yes be aware of someone compliment you all the time. The robot Anika I believe is her name said humans love compliments and it puts your guard down.
@@davisholman8149 And these cases will become more and more common. If I recall correctly, the number of older single women has exploded in recent years.
@@ViaScientifica it really has it’s because women are delusional and I say that as a woman lol I I can see what’s wrong because I’ve been in a relationship for 13 years and 30 years old it’s the bad bitch attitude is the shitty attitude it’s a independent woman I don’t need no man feminist attitude and I’m not gonna take anything less than $100,000 a year income. I’m also a four that thinks she’s a 10 but even tens are delusional but they can get away with it for a little bit because they’re attractive but once they age they will be lonely and single
Her lack of awareness, for a woman her age is scary. She’s a woman who has aged out of younger men being truly interested. Acceptance is key.
She's very honest and describes the devastation left behind for victims. Feel so sorry for her
I find it difficult to have sympathy for these people who get scammed. Am I alone in this???
I have no sympathy either…
Even giving a stranger online a few hundred dollars would send alarm bells… these women are giving strangers thousands and thousands of dollars. That’s not foolish, that’s total lunacy.
Personally. Your comment sounds a little bit naive to me. You don't know how articulous these people can be
Hell no! It always sounds like a scam from the very beginning they can’t all be this naive!!! It has to be a mental disease! I’m about to start scamming if it’s this easy😂
Her: "I knew it." Madam, you did not know it if you sent a scammer $300,000 and argued online with a scammer.
Yes! Thank you!
Then she sends $3,000 to a different guy!😳 What is the world is wrong with these people??
Love her honesty. She speaks about her shame, pain and not being able to talk to her loved ones because of their condemnation.
Thank you for sharing your story.
And she's a beautiful woman. Too bad she can't go out with girlfriends even for coffee and get talking with people.
No, she couldn't talk to her family because they TOLD her that basically she was making a fool of herself and she didn't wanna swallow her pride & admit that she was reckless & foolish
@@marciathehooligan9967 ...I would have to agree with you.
@@marciathehooligan9967 She'll be back online getting scammed again
Good recovery too
No remorse for any “Karen” that gets scammed, it’s called karma baby
Red flag #1,"Hey beautiful." Red flag #2, I'm on a secret mission." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In North Korea where there is no internet!
Red flag #3 - my queen 😂
And no war by the way but he is claiming to be in a war zone in NK🤦🏽♀️
“Urinate into a pot, and then boil an egg in it.” These people are having so much fun just seeing exactly how foolish this lady will act. Despicable.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I died on that part !!!!
@@sanaaniz Me too.
Everyone knows it doesn't work unless you put the egg into potato salad. Gosh.
And she had to pay $3,000 for that brilliant wisdom!
I would have more sympathy for her if her money was actually stolen. She willingly sent it and even paid $3000 to lift that "curse" or whatever. I don't know does she have some kind of diagnosis that impedes her from detecting bs? What the hell is wrong with some people?
A friend of mine almost got sucked into a similar situation but thankfully she told me about this wonderful guy she met on line. I asked her how much money he had asked her for. She turned white as a sheet and asked me how I knew about the money. She only lost 1000 dollars to this catfish. I'm so relieved that she opened up and talked to me about him.
🤣 I love it HAHAHA
I was talking every day to someone for months. Said he was a business owner, in Northern Ireland.
We arranged to meet up twice, and he couldn't make it - which made me very suspicious.
But on an emotional level, I actually felt like I had met him, and knew him very well. Luckily my logical head kept reminding me that I didn't know him.
Then he started telling me about a mistake at the bank, and his cash flow problems, because the bank froze his accounts.
He got angry because I didn't offer to send him money. But I asked why he would want to take money from a woman he'd never met?
He said he loved me - of course!
But I just kept saying I couldn't love someone I've never met in person, and known, in the flesh, for some time.
That was the end, and he was pretty angry. All those wasted hours wooing me, I guess.
He tried contacting me a couple of times, some months later, but I ignored him, then blocked him.
Do be warned people. You must keep a logical head about you - or ask a friend to be that critical observer for you.
😮😢😮😢😮
@@diane4488 - Ahh, the old nebulous "mistake at the bank" excuse...somehow this self-proclaimed intelligent and professional man can't be a big boy and talk to the bank himself and get the issue resolved...the only solution is for you to send him *your* money, of course -- because he "loves" you, he super swears. 🙄 Good on you for not turning your brain off.
The daughter was also the enabler. WHY WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ANOTHER DATING SITE TO YOUR OWN MOM AFTER SHE WAS LITERALLY SCAMMED BY AN ONLINE SCAMMER?
The worst is Plenty of Fish
Funny how they put all the blame on the scammers. No accountability whatsoever.
She kept wanting the scammer to admit he's a scammer, like that's the only thing that would've convinced her.
I always feel bad for the kids that lose their inheritance.
The kids can make their own money!
@@rockon8174 I would call it a stupid family habit if every person in the family would see nothing wrong to die broke by scammers.
@Rock On that's what the government said in charging a 40% inheritance fee. You're the sap too thinking they're here for you. 40% for your kids too till your great grandkids have to work from nothing.
@@briannadickson2884 Where I'm from, there is no 40% on inheritance (thankfully). But I've also seen plenty of gift contracts, so the inheritance was gifted before hand. You do have to trust your progeny for the latter though.
How about her retirement? Now she has to work to make it back.
She has arthritis blaming it on voodoo😂😂😂😂
She was scammed not once, not twice, but 3 damn times!!! This woman needs to just give her money to me. In the end, she is a sweet, caring and giving woman who hopefully finds peace in her life.
Drew , you are a true professional and quite Kind. Appreciate you taking time to patiently educate the clients.
Oh God Karen, what it's wrong with you? When someone ask you for money, you should run as fast as you can. THAT IS A HUGE RED FLAG.
she knew it all the time but she got emotionally involved and wanted the dream to be true
Someone as naïve & innocent as Karen should NEVER be online dating. She thinks she's doing 'detective' by questioning her scammers but then believes all their lying answers. Scammers in this field are like Olympians while she's still playing in the sandpit. She does NOT have the skills to be in the game.
@@mymai5859 no one is innocent. No one... I wish people would stop thinking this. They might be nice or kind here or there but everyone has a little devil in them.
@@thelthrythquezada8397 That is a ridiculous statement. In specific areas people ARE innocent. In this case she is innocent when it comes to sniffing out scammers online- she hasn't a clue.
Based on your statement children are NOT innocent? At what age are people suddenly not innocent? If you're walking down the street & get randomly punched in the face then are you NOT innocent? If you are abused, robbed, tortured for something you did not do or initiate, then you are NOT innocent?
The confrontation at the end doesn't matter, the scammer has your money. This woman is unbelievable
I was a little happy for her. That would have been great after $300 instead of 300 Thousand
It's called closure and she deserved to get her chance to scream at him. I did the same with a shitty ex and I'm still glad I did.
@@birdie8006screaming will not do anything ,most likely the scammer is laughing and he probably recorded so he can laugh even after .
@@omzy8700 it makes her feel better personal closure.
She did it for her, not for him.
Rule of thumb- if someone half your age who you've never met & tells you they love you way too early then asks for money.. they're a scammer.
Never met? Are you kidding ... haha!😅
This lady has a great spirit! I wish her all the best in finding the real thing 💖
Drew wasn't even scamming her and she still gave him 1000 $ 😄 I think after this video she might get a lot of friend requests
If you can’t meet someone in person within 1 month of meeting online. Delete them.
one week, at most....that would be my limit.
Tbh, some people are in different countries and people will do long distance. I’d say if they never video chat or send custom photos then drop them.
@@kenmoreSF so everyone you meet online, you meet up with them within one week?
@@mrsevelync6900 the answer is depends. If someone is local, I would say if they don't want to meet within a short period of time then they're probably not interested at all. Then I would move on. Now, that being said, knowing what I know now about scammers and how they work, I would never give a time of day to people who are working overseas, and asking for money, regardless how successful or beautiful they are. It's most likely a scam.
Or, should you be speaking with someone online who claims to be temporarily out of the nation you, and he/she professes to live, another idea is to just ask/tell/ advise him/her to contact you upon return.
If they don’t , no loss.
The stories some people fall for are out of some kind of 1950s romance novel full of mystery and intrigue. It just amazes me that people send fortunes to people they don’t know from a hole in the wall. Wait until the kids stumble upon this video and see their Mom blew through 300k. I feel bad for all of these people who get so lost and caught up in this type of nonsense/scam
While it is unbelievable, I do feel for this woman. She’s the first one who seems like an actual victim to me. Confused, but not manipulative like so many others.
I can't believe her daughter told her to go to POF, that is one of the worst sites. Aren't there any social clubs, community centres, houses of prayer to meet someone in person?
My mom can't meet people in person, either. She can't drink, she doesn't go to church , idk what a community center is... so she meets deadbeats off POF all the time, lol. But also, there are scammers on all the popular dating sites, paid and unpaid, you just have to be more careful and more aware of red flags. Educate the people around you, especially if they're older. Also make sure they know that it's not the end of the world if they've fallen for a scam, and they can come back from it.

Plot twist. Her daughter is a Nigerian scammer.
@@nicoledoubleyou is this Karen your mother?
Should’ve gone to her local senior citizen center
Why would a guy like that want an old woman like her? Didn’t that in itself make her suspicious? And he starts blabbing that he’s on a secret mission to a woman he doesn’t even know! He wants $12000 (!!) for a new phone, and he gets her to buy her own engagement ring. And still she suspects nothing. You couldn’t make this stuff up.
I can see James Bond on one of his missions calling up his numerous girlfriends: "Pussy my dear, can you send me a phone? I lost mine when Jaws attacked me and I needed to contact Q branch!"
😂😂😂😂😂
GradKat, yes, 12 thousand. Wow. She also paid 30 thousand for him to pay for a Google Hangout account, which is totally free. Even if one thought that one would need to pay for that account, one might think of an amount less than a 100 Dollars, NOT 30 thousand
If that guy messaged ME I would raise an eyebrow, and I’m only 35 🤨😆 Hot doctors don’t have trouble finding a date or need to go on matchmaking websites. He probably has a wife who looks like Beyoncé or Gigi Hadid
How these scammed women get so much money to blew? I work hard, I am frugal, and I simply don't have $30k to wire to a scammer even If I want it. Why these supposedly smart people are wasting money on scammers, when frugal and hard working people barely make it?
She's so likeable! I'm glad she told off her scammer and it made her feel a bit better. I liked the interaction at the end with Drew! ❤ (Drew is a doll!)
Drew is definitely a better man than me for shredding that check in the end 😅
If you have a family member who was scammed, why would you suggest they then go onto Plenty of Fish? That was the worst advice ever. The people who easily fall for scams need to stay far away from online dating or meeting people on social media.
Plenty of Fish 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Another Site for Lonely, Older, "BROKE Men 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. LOSERS 👍👍
Bingo!
POF is the worst! Scammers love free sites!
Nanna needs a new hobby.
I think if you're gullible enough to get tricked once by a scammer like that you should never try online dating again. Ditch it and do it old school (irl)
Karen, you are not being cursed. You are stressed and your body is reacting to that stress. All you need is a long rest with no stress. You seem a pretty nice woman, it sucks that those scammers feed on your goodness and played your mind and emotion. But you are going to be fine, try to step away from social sites and just take a long rest surround yourself with your family and friend try to have a good laugh at least, trust me you will feel better. Don't think about those romance scmmers they will get what they truly deserve, one of these days.
💯
Witchcraft and voodoo are real.
@@ericrivera8410I was thinking the same thing 😂
@@Mataylor17Wtf are you talking about?
@@Mataylor17 you misread that
She’s such a sweetheart! I hate that they took advantage of her! Glad y’all helped her!
Why r these women alway laughing n smiling when they find out they’ve been scammed ?
Because they are embarrassed
When you fall for a scam you are on a list of gullible people. NEVER send money to someone you have never met
And don’t send money to most that you have met!
She's not gullible. She's dumb!
🚩 🚩 🚩
No. Not all are gullible. She didn't get any gain from this. She was lonely.
How hard can that be?
The delusions never ceases to amaze me. Karen...do you see what this man looks like? Smh
Total delusional.
Ikr, it’s so annoying that people are that delusional
You are so right!
I was very attractive in my 20s. In my 50s now. That dr wouldn't have been interested in me when I was in my 20s!
When a young stud says to an old crinkly woman "Hey Beautiful!" on the first sentence. Do you need to say more?
I’m only a few seconds in and a major red flag came up “ I’m on a secret mission in Korea! If it was secret you wouldn’t be telling someone on the internet that you’ve just met!
I feel that her therapist telling her “it’s not your fault” is irresponsible. She got taken for a ride and it was very unfortunate, but she was actively participating in the whole thing. She CHOSE to send the money despite any hesitations she may have had. Saying “it’s not your fault” shifts the responsibility from herself and makes it easier to feel victimized.
Exactly, well said...I agree with you 100% here. It was her fault, and no one else's! She is to blame for what happened to her, not to mention she continued allowing these individuals to scam her even after the so-called 'romance scams', which is just something I can't even find any words for! 😅🤣😂🤩
I completely agree. Someone needs to bring her to her senses and have her accept responsibility for being so stupid.
And then said” that’ll be $10,000 😂
@@raimeyewens7518 the therapist just wants to get her money, so that she feels validated.
So is it a woman's fault when she is physically abused and stays in the relationship to take more beatings? Come on. You can say she didn't make the best of choices here but she was emotionally vulnerable and manipulated. The scammers pray on emotions and this was a form of emotional abuse and manipulation. Almost like an addiction. The "fault" lies with the scammer. Please don't victim blame.
it made me sad when they said she slipped the check into Drew's bag. she seems to not understand yet that you dont have to pay for true kindness. hoping she heals from all this
Me too. And it’s not like she hasn’t lost enough money and doesn’t need the money.
People like her feel ‘less than’ & don’t feel worthy enough to receive unconditional ‘love’.💔
Damn she was sweet as heck for that check. Thank y’all for shredding it. That’s good guy behavior.
She's not a very intelligent or savvy person at all and she did this to herself but she seems like a nice lady. At least she didn't insist these phonies were real
Hope she learned a lesson on how not to be so desperate!
It’s funny how they think telling their scammers off, makes any difference to them.
You’re absolutely right. The scammers don’t care because they were just go to the next victim.
The scammer is devoid of any emotion. He's a heartless human being. He could care less.
I agree. The scammer is laughing their way to the next scam.
So she fell for it TWICE? Good grief ...... that's unbelievable.
Where's her family in this? I would NEVER have let my mum get into any of this vile nonsense.
No one has to pay in order to get their own money back! What a slow woman
Americans and close families is like oil and water, strange culture we live in
her daughter tried helping her once, she told her he was scamming her but she didn't listen
Twice? How about the 3 grand for boiling an egg in tinkle? 😂
@denisejohnson4037 yeah I'd have confiscated her laptop 😆
If she meets a homeless person in the street, she will tell him to find a job and refuse to give him 1$😅😂
She texts the new guy pics of other and receives message asking why she exposed his identity…did she not stop to think how did he know?
The numbing in her hands is probably from carpal tunnel from all her time typing to these scammers!
I thought the same. Joints can't endure the same kind of abuse as when you're young
😂😂😂😂
😂
@@charliekane135 it’s accumulative with age.
@@sookie4195 yeah, I know .......
“I thought it all along.” “I was like Miss Detective.”
It must be so so hard for them to keep a straight face.
They say that to alleviate the embarrassment and pain. She’s very naive. This scam is so out there, her daughter warned her, then told her to go on lots of fish..biggest place for scammers. She knew she said, but yet listened to her heart not her head.
@@ginaanelli9717 i could not imagine sending my dear old mum to go on any internet dating site much less plenty of scams lol
90% of the people on here say some variation of "I knew it!" when shown that these are scammers.
Yup Miss Detective! I believe in a secret agent doctor who refuses people from the sea.
My 77 year old Mom talked to some scammer five months sent her entire SSI check's and even stole 3000$ from me and my son and owes me 2500$ for her bills to. I'm so mad at her also she has cancer as well.
