🆕WATCH NEXT: Woman Insists Romance Scammer Is Real!: th-cam.com/video/jiEdCQTtVhQ/w-d-xo.html
Ubert I think Love how you say hub-bert😄🤩😍
unbelievable! People fall for phantom romance! No long distance relationship babe-bie! Face to face only!!!
Sad😢
Another delusional old woman.Get a life
@@CatfishedOnline They dream a lot
If I die and leave my husband with a bunch of money to live on, and he turns around and gives my hard-earned cash to a scammer, I promise I’m coming back as a ghost to haunt his ass 😑
Right on
On Gawd lol
Right 😂😂😂
Only if ghosts are for real.
hahaha i hope your husband is a smart guy!....for his own good.
WHY do all these people say "I'm a smart person" when they clearly AREN'T!!!
Low intelligence.
Cuz only stupid ppl say that lol. Smart people never say it cuz their actions prove it. And they're smart enough to know how saying they're smart, comes across.
@@dxcSOULYes, good point. Thinking back, the smartest person I've ever met was also one of the nicest and the LEAST arrogant. I was SO in awe of him when I met him; he'd literally won a Nobel Prize long before I was even born, and I met him at a CME; but he didn't talk down to me at all, even though I was this very young woman with no appreciable education at the time. (Joshua Lederberg, may he rest in peace)
Yet so many of the people getting scammed really do make a point of saying "I'm smart."
Because smart people don’t go around bragging about being smart.
seriously. no normal person asks for money like that. only scammers
“He took my breath away.” Took your house away too! 🏡🤦♂️
😂😂😂😂🙆🏿♀️🙆🏿♀️🙆🏿♀️🙆🏿♀️
This comment though 😂😂😂😂
💸
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
“I’m not a rich woman.”
Well…not anymore.
LOL! yeah that's hitting the nail on the head. Geez, send ME $108,000 I can cetainly use it! What gets me is women taking out LOANS, one took out SIX loans!! maxing credit cards, even selling a home!
She was set up for a comfortable retirement...on the other hand some con man is gonna be able to send his kids to harvard
Hahahaha😅
@@marknewton6984😂😂
Ya, because SHE WAS rich... but not anymore.
The harsh reality is that if they, regardless of age, look like a model and you don't, it's probably a romance scam.
I feel like this lady needed a grief counselor
She needs a full-length mirror
Never understand why folks can’t look in the mirror and judge their worth ?
@gregblack8550 Looks don't equal worth.
@@im26c4u5they do in the dating market
“I want to know he’s a real person and not playing games with me” lady, even if he WERE a real person, he is absolutely 100% playing games with you
I wanna hit like ..but I can't touch 69
That is the part that is triple frustrating. The dis connect is real. Even finding out he is not the person she has been talking to, the romance is still raging. I guess it would be difficult to process. The fun of seeing who you have been talking to, wipes out the hard truths.
It's so sad that they all say the same Damn thing!
EXACTLY!!🙄
He’s also way out of her league.
Your husband , even though he was dying of cancer , tried to make sure you would be ok after he was gone ….that is true love
And she disrespected his memory pissing it all away on another man.
@@TomokoAbe_ Sad but true
"After months of mourning, she decided to move on." Damn, that gravedigger wasn't finished wiping the dirt from his hands and she was "moving on."
She even had the audacity to say "He just made me feel loved" referring to her online BF like she never felt that from her husband.
True love on the husbands side but then this old lady gives all the money her husband saved for her delusional irrational fake relationship with a scammer
They are always “too smart to fall for something like this.”
That part 🤣🤣🤦🏾♂️
🎯🎯🎯🤦🏻♀️
Love it!
No, just too dumb to realise!!
It may be harsh but this is an insult to her late husband’s memory pissing the money away her late husband left to ensure her security.
It's actually a bigger insult to LYNN that she pissed away her own future.

Not harsh at all. The old woman is a fool.
@@davemathews7890 She fooled herself with her first two husbands. She was fortunatewith the third, then fate took the right one. So she latched on to the hook of a shark. Instead of living for her own best life as a tribute to the good man who'd built with her. There's the problem.
If I saw a guy in a pool with another guy he's gay. Whats wrong with this woman??? Oh never mind. Smh
I totally agree with you!! It's a slap in the face to her late husband by her giving his money away to a stranger...sicking ..
It's beyond my comprehension there's adults with real money and assets that give it all away to someone they've never met.
It's always from husbands or parents
Ok there's an elephant that's obviously in the room as in certain race and certain economic backgrounds that get caught up in this stuff unless the other race isn't reporting that's happening to them too.
It’s like a drug. Dope is short for dopamine.
@@callmekirkland8
She was a willing victim.
"Even though I know i'm a smart woman..." lol. i bet she's a republican.
Its crazy how so many family members wont even give or loan money to their own family , but they don't even hesitate to give their money to a complete stranger. Now that's messed up! 🤨
Dad and I have this battle. He talks to scammers on the phone and I tell him, "Well I need money." He starts laughing! I took his ass to the funeral home and picked out a plan for him, he put down 3k and paying on it, I'm gonna get him to make another payment, we'll handle the rest. ( thankfully mom was the smarter one and bought plots, her funeral was completely covered.) My daughter is on his account and we already got a will, power of attorney etc. I'm glad he doesn't have credit cards and can't remember his account information. These people that fall for scammers must have some type of mental illnesses. My dad wanted to buy a boat for him and my son, my dad is 90! I told him, "Sorry dad, those days are over, you do that and we're going to take you to my house and sell your home!" He refuses to move in with us and he is messy as hell! Poor mom did everything.
I gave a huge loan to my family and regretted it : 58 000 euros. Not a living person will get a cent from me, ever! All my assets now go to animal welfare
Or there are the victims who don't hoard money and the wrong people sniff us out and suck us dry.

Thats when u know u have to BE RID !!
Exactly!
At this late date in the world of the internet, there's ZERO reason for anyone to fall for romance scammers. It's not even sad anymore. It's just willful ignorance.
@@Theressomethingwrongwiththem Even without any experience or knowledge of the internet common sense would tell you that scams like this are just stupid and impossible.
Don't these women own a mirror
My wife had a friend that went through this. It took everyone she knew to convince this woman she was being scammed, 6 months later she was online with another scammer. You just can’t help people who are willfully ignorant.
Maybe it was even the same scammer using a different name.
My father called me crying one day saying the IRS was gonna throw him in jail because he owed taxes. I told him the IRS does not call people and it's a scam. He was retired 3 years at this point. They called back again and he fell for it again.
@@KNByam I got one of those calls. The jerks said the cops were coming to my house. They even told me who the officer was. Unfortunately for them, I live in a VERY small town and know the names of all of the tiny police force. When I pointed this out and asked to speak to a supervisor, they passed me off to someone else. Then I asked that supervisor if someone else in the Washington DC location there could get on the line. Someone who had an American accent. Cause yeah, they were in DC. Then they knew I was not buying it so they played the song Bad Boys and hung up. Swear to God, Bad Boys. It was insane.
Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous offers meeting specifically for fantasy addicts 🙏
@@KNByam😮😮😮😮 so sad. You should have given him a friend’s name and told him you hired a lawyer for him and that’s the only person the IRS should talk to, not him 🙈
She ain't a victim, she's a volunteer.
Born to be scammed.
She needed therapy, not a man with evil intentions.
Hello beautiful how are you doing today?
@@genpaullacamera2233 get lost fool? what are you going to ask her for 100,000 cuz your money is tied up? LOL get lost.
That is precisely what I was thinking!
I look like Brad Pitt. Send me $$. Hahahaha😮
As do most if not all of these victims, or at least less loneliness in their lives. I've made mistakes along these lines myself, but fortunately not to the tune of 100k and not with some internet scammer I've never met. Being in a bad place mentally/emotionally will lead people to do stupid things, and these damned scammers have made a science and an art of exploiting those people.
No need to block him hun. He’s already finished with you and he’s gone. 😢
Exactly...
“He’s fit, he doesn’t have a big belly” there lies the main problem : lack of self awareness and delusion.
How true! Can't figure out why she would think she's "in love" and he has the hots for her old ass?!?!?! Duh ☜ (↼_↼)
They think it's a catalog
She doesn't understand that the person in the picture is not the person she's dealing with it's a Nigerian in a room full of men working together to scam people, yet she keeps saying him does she believe in the Easter Bunny in Santa Claus too. I think this lady has lost her marbles
Nailed it 💯
But you do! Where's your mirror lady?!!?
Damn man...when I hear the amount of money they send ..I'm thinking I've never seen that much money in my life. These people liquidate their assets for these strangers...and in this case it's especially sad and frustrating because she dipped into the money her husband worked hard to make sure she was okay after he passed.....and you spent it on a stranger. That would have been the one money source I would have never allowed another man to have access to.
Altogether they send a BILLION DOLLARS out of the american economy.
It's a lot of money in your country. it's literally 18x more in mine.
@@HumanimalChannel We need a law that forces only banks with multi step required checks & balances to be able to send money to the most corrupt areas from 1st world countries. No more losing a widow’s spousal support to these scammers. It needs to stop. NOW😡
These videos make it look so easy that if it wasn’t illegal, I’d think about starting a scam myself 😂. These crooks just seem to send a text saying “send me money” and then people send it. It looks a hell of a lot easier than working for a living.
Yea I just can't understand how she can have such little respect for the legacy her husband left behind
I'm amazed at how important good looks are to these women who don't even get dressed up a bit or put on some lipstick for a video chat that they know will end up on TH-cam.
They don't know what a youtube is 🤣😭
Yep
Or a decent bra
OMG! I was just thinking the same, she looks like she rolled out of bed, didn't brush her hair or even take a look in the mirror first, LOL. Zero self-care yet she loves herself a model looking man with 6 pack abs. There has to be some strong narcissistic traits in these people to believe they would end up with a high maintenance person when they can't even do the very minimal basic grooming.
They must know the back lash they'll get from the comments....No one feels sorry for them!!
The stories these scammers have is like an action movie
And their victims are totally willing to be a part of the movie... playing the role of SUCKER.
Man, I went into the wrong business.
It’s almost always the same story too. American hero trapped in Syria, he finds this amazing older woman on Facebook who doesn’t look her age, they’re going to get married when he gets home. Oh no, he’s lost his information and can’t get home. Don’t worry though he has gold bars and they’ll be rich when he eventually gets back. Thank god is amazing fiancé of 3 weeks is there to buy his way home. Everything seems fine until he gets caught at the border and they want even more money. Thank goodness she can help again. 🥺
It actually makes more sense than a plausible story because people relate more to movies than they do to real life.
Ask someone the last non fiction book they've read vs the last movie they saw.
Lol 😂😂😂😂
She doesn’t take of herself at all YET loves how he takes care of himself 🙄.
Yes; it’s wild how she doesn’t even seem to know how to take a flattering photo of herself. Why on earth would she think someone that attractive would be interested in her, with a profile photo like that? One of the oldest “rules” of online dating sites is that no photo at all is preferable to a bad photo. When I first used an online dating site over two decades ago, I asked a friend with years of photography experience to take my photo. She agreed to on the condition that I get my eyebrows waxed.😂They’re still the dishiest photos of me ever taken. People looking at photos on this site assume the photos show people at their best. If you look like a mutt in your photo, they will assume that’s your best and shudder to think what you actually look like in person most of the time. The woman in the video has good features and could actually produce a flattering photo if she made a bit of effort. But she would still be unlikely to attract a younger man who looks like a model; this is reality.
@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci because there is an epidemic of loneliness, desperation and isolation in this world especially since the inception of the smart phone and tablets. People have zero sense of what is real or fake anymore.
@@ASouthernBoyCanSurvive it's pretty simple, get off the bloody internet and go outside and talk to people!
@@DL-ep5uk They're in denial which will keep them from ever forming any meaningful relationships. They refuse to accept that human beings ascribe importance to looks and it's sh*tty and manipulative behaviour to pass yourself off as someone who looks completely different, and to refuse to understand why a person you've deceived feels angry when you meet them in person and they see they real "you".
@@ASouthernBoyCanSurvive
It's so very sad. 😢
If the person you're flirting with is too good-looking, too attentive or too good to be true, it's time to move on.
It’s the ego, and at some point they know but they rather keep paying just to hear what they want to hear from the delusion created in there mind. It all boils down to feeding the ego. The idea a person that takes such good care of them selves and has worked so hard to create success- will hand it over to them just for being them. No discipline to eat or get fit. No drive to crear success BUT this person that has worked so hard will just give it to them. - they are just the same as the scammer but lost in the game they are playing
@@angelenicole1243 That seems like a pretty accurate analysis. When someone professes undying love for you, the first thing you need to do is take a long, hard look at yourself and understand what it is about you seems to attract that person. If it's mainly money or material things or favors you can do for them, that's probably a bad match
That advice would have had me suspicious of my husband who seemed way too cute, too sweet and too attentive. But we were seeing each other in real life so I knew he was the real deal.
eta: ok it was different because we were both around 30 and I was a very pretty lady with my own career
@@aliciamerline4787 How nice.
The naïveté of these women thinking that a handsome fit man would have any interest in a old wrinkled housefrau just kills me.
Her asking where the real guy lived irked me 🙃 leave that man alone. He don't know you!
She wanted to see if there was a chance that he would fancy her.
@@peroduanippa yeah she's gonna have a hard time getting past the "Gay man" part.
@Violet Verdict lmaoo I'm dying 🤣
she absolutely was going to harass the man in the pictures
@@shonii119 I think she thought he might be the scammer himself and she could harass him to get him to give her money back. The idea of the scammer is a Nigerian just seemed to past right over her head. She seemed to think that he might be part of the scam and not the innocent person who had his picture stolen.
Honestly, I don’t know that I would want to date someone who creates an international incident whenever he leaves the house
International incident 😂😂😂
Omg😅
She sounds like a naive and giddy teenager....all she talks about is his physical attributes..
At her age that kind of mindless behavior is pathetic.
She deserves being scamed.
😂

“I’m not a rich woman, I’m not.” Well…you certainly were rich enough to send him $108,000! 😳
😅
Not for you to judge
@@italiantraditionalcatholic2390 yet here I am judging 👀
Yep I wish I was so poor that I had $108k lying around the place. Of course I sure wouldn't be sending it some scammer mongrel
I’m glad I’m poor! Can’t get a dime!
I’m 50 and not in perfect shape. But it’s annoying how she loved how he “didn’t have a big belly” and took care of himself. When it doesn’t look like she does the same.
Ya, the dilution is real. In real life he would be with a 30 year old hot chick. Silly woman.
@@thinishot Or a hot guy in his case.
@@dbranconnier1977 age is just a number, right?
@Daniel Branconnier I'm sorry but that's not how real life works. This lady was enamoured by his looks and the attention... she was superficial !
exaaaaactly
Ah, yes, the notoriously dangerous country of Belgium, where people get illegally detained without a trial for months as the corrupt government ask for ransom. I can see how she fell for it.
Jajajaja 😂😂 i am from Argentina. You have South américa, scammer. Not one said Colombia, Venezuela, Cuba, the scammer don't know politics. The victims don't know nothing at all (?). Nothing (?).
But what about the Sharia law being imposed there - I'm kidding lol I'm not a braindead ruzzian bot farm. Come at me bots.
@@ThePolaroid669and scam victim Americans are even way less worldly than average!
A couple of years ago, I met a guy online. In the beginning, I knew he was grooming me: hey babe, honey, I miss talking with you,... and we have just met. One day, he came up with the story that his daughter was hospitalized and he has his bank account frozen and asked me if I could help him. I told him: "look if you're looking for a sugar mommy, my wallet is hypoglycemic". He then came with the argument that I was heartless and insensible and promised to give me my money back. I just blocked him. If someone that you just met asks you for money, you know what you have there. Period.
He didn't know what he was missing out. A smart woman with a sense of humor.
"You're heartless." Darn right, I'm pacemakered.
“If you’re looking for a sugar mommy, my wallet is hypoglycemic”. 🤣🤣🤣 I love that line!
Someone like this messaged me from Facebook, of course I knew he was a scammer. I played with him a while told him, I was a rich widow (I'm not) but I wanted him to stick around for a while to hear his BS. And yes, obviously he told me he was an Engineer on contract in Germany. I pretended to be an older woman living alone in California just living on my dead husband's huge pension (I'm not) he said he had a teenage daughter and her mother died in a terrible accident blah blah blah. I enjoyed messing with him, pretending to be impressed by his love poems from Google.
Events he was stuck for money and needed $500 he showed me his (fake) bank account but he couldn't get his money because he's in Germany 🤣 I sent him on a wild goose chase. Pretended to send the money, kept telling him baby, I sent it. Then realising "Oh sorry baby" I made a mistake and I put the wrong code in, it didn't work. Let me do it again, I've definitely sent it this time. Then pretent something else went wrong "oops sorry baby" I missed out a bunch of numbers, it didn't go through, can you send me the details again 🤣 I'm sorry baby...it went in and on as much as the guy's patience would tolerate it. 🤣
@@maxfitnesstraining1585 🤣🤣🤣 this is hilarious. Yes, I played with that scammer as well, but not as well as you did it. Pretty smart.

And he was able to escape too😂

Prisoners can get phones smuggled in.
This woman actually convinced herself that a man that handsome would be interested in dating her.
She obviously doesn’t have a mirror installed anywhere in her home.
She is marilyn Monroe in her Imagination!!! 🥹
I cant laugh about this! How longsome and alone she must be in her life!
Delusional. 😅
Ego. Dementia
😅
NO KIDDING!!!! Thank heavens I'm not delusional!
It’s profound that her husband who passed worked hard for decades for all of the money to go to a scammer. He could have used that money to really enjoy life: taking vacations, going to sporting events, etc. Or he could have lived an easier life and worked less. This blows my mind.
This is s as typical story with widows.
Her husband is crying from heaven 😢
The saying goes if it's too good to be true, then it probably isn't. So that's all she had was hope and desperation. The banks can't even stop these people and I'm sure they see all the red flags
The husband may have been a workaholic, that is why the woman is so starved for attention and acting like a teenager. She has thrown all common sense out the window for a few week complements. A very sad situation......
That is why when I die I’ll leave everything I have to animal shelters, I’m not here to work my ass off and have other people to spend my money? 🤡
Dogs and cats deserve that 😂
I'm 44 and no one I know personally in real life has ever asked me for money. I can't understand why people think asking for money online is normal when it's wildly uncommon in real life. 😐
A couple of boyfriends asked me for money, but this was after we were in a relationship for awhile. It did not go over well with me . One was paying credit card bills and another was trying to pay a fine of some sort . I helped them both out, but to this day it pisses me off because I have never, ever asked a man for money, except my husband. And one of them paid me back and the other didn't.
Same. I try giving my broke friend money and can't.
Exactly! It's equal to a random person on the street walking up to you and asking you for hundreds/thousands of dollars. It's insane!
I never had a romantic partner hit me up for money, ever, until I met this one woman (my sorry ex today) she did, early on, for something small like her 40$ cell bill...I should have seen that red flag waving in my face w that! It never stopped
@@angeladelcid2589 Hello beautiful!!! you're my queen, you're the most beautiful woman i have ever seen in my life. You'll always be happiness...... Please give me a couple of Thousand Dollars baby i need to buy food to eat 😁😁😁.
My fave part was when she said "Even though I am a smart woman .... " it's easy to tell that she thinks the guy in the pic is the one who scammed her, and if they gave her Gene's address, she'd show up at his house asking him if he still loved her.
EXACTLY, thats what i commented also, i dont see a smart woman, falling for a person telling blatant lies and asking for money 24/7 !!!!!
I thought the same thing. She thinks Gene is the one who scammed her. She doesn't get it.
@@jennayoung99 They need to be told that they are not being scammed by one person having one-on-one interactions with them but teams working on a mark, 24/7.
Yes, this has happened before in previous videos, where the person scammed became obsessed and started stalking/harassing the person whose pictures were stolen. Not surprised they no longer give away such information if they find it.
All the women I’ve seen on this show say they’re smart. Some go so far as to say they are very good at reading people.
I’m rooting for the scammers at this point.

@@FC-hj9ub Okay but being in your mid-60s is not being in your '70s. I'm sure you'll feel the same way when you get up there.
I think these victims should be additionally warned that the scammers sometimes follow up with a second scam by saying they can help them get their money back. They pose as investigators or attorneys etc. These people are clearly vulnerable and should be forewarned.
Those are my thoughts exactly.
so true and thank you for pointing that scam out also
And the scam where they tearfully confess to being a Nigerian con artist, but only because they were so desperate, and now they've sincerely fallen in love 🤢
Exactly! They often hang out in this comment section too, posing as victims who got their money back by some person on istagram or telegram trying to lure more people in. Wish that social catfish could do an episode on those too.
They do. They may not show it on every episode, but they leave the victim with tools and resources and have covered the private investigator/federal agent/cop etc who often show up soon after the scammer on many episodes.
People always get hooked on the one thing: looks. If an average or "ugly" looking person said all the same things, they'd be rejected immediately. The sad thing is, the scammed person seems to have no self-awareness of this.
This applies to women and men.
I have a very dear Gay male friend, He taught me that the ugly ones are the best, because the ugly (in appearance) have kindness and are usually well endowed in his opinion. As God had to give them something.

I have to say, kudos to this scammer because he has one Helluva imagination. Escaping from a Turkish prison, hiding in Copenhagen, dead- but not!- you gotta admit, it's something different from the usual "I'm on a oil rig, send Steam cards for food" story.

😅😂
These videos prove that wisdom doesn’t always come with age.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
true
Mother Nature is a smart lady...MOST of the time..😀
She encourages young ladies to pursue young, virile men so that the human race will continue to multiply..
Same with young men...they look for young, nubile ladies to mate with and continue to multiply...
Sex...the ultimate attraction when young...
However...Mother Nature has really screwed up when she gives old
ladies and old men the 'urge'...it really is quite laughable. 🤣
There's no fool like an old fool.
It trips me out whenever a scammer casually types "Babe, I'm in jail. " Ah, of course they still have their laptop and cellphone in prison. No red flags whatsoever 👀
They never seem to wonder how someone who is in prison can text. Or someone who has been kidnapped can text. Or living on the street, but can still send a text to ask for money. Beyond stupid.
I love when the scammer says they'll have their "business associate" send the victim some money. If you have business associates, why can't they send him money themselves, and why can't those associates access the account to make any deposits/withdrawals instead of the victim?
Scammer logic for you...😝 I especially love the stories of being stuck at the airport with 1 million dollar cash in a briefcase and you need to buy them a $5000 plane ticket.
Exactly!!
@@PungiFungi That hasn't happened to you?! 😂
FACTS
ALOT of these scammers say they target Americans because we are so stupid, these shows are proving it's true 🙄
It not just that, Americans have this mentality "I am worth it" and have too much unjustified self-confidence. This lady looks like a dowdy grandma but believes a man who looks like a movie star would be interested in her. This guy looks actually better than George Clooney and we know what sort of woman G Clooney married: much younger, incredibly good-looking, an international lawyer and very rich.
Not any more stupid than anyone else. But extremely insular and ignorant about the rest of the world. And very gullible because they are so obsessed with religion .
Even if he was real, would she really want someone needing all that money.
I don't know about Americans being stupid. You have to realize that these scammers probably go through maybe a hundred or more potentials before they finally hit a "live one." I think most people are on to this thing.
@@taxusbaccata1154 Probably it's a question of more stupid people having access to internet.
I’m so embarrassed for this lady
She looks like the scammers mother. Seriously. 🙄
Oh gosh, me too.
Me too, but I`m also sorry, she`s so naive.
😢
Why would YOU be embarrassed? She's just a fool, period.
“He took my breath away”. Ehh Lady: not just your breath, your money as well. 😊 Thank God he was “her type” 🙏🏻 These people get fooled by their own shallowness.
And her brain
The fact that she actually thinks a guy that looks like that would be interested in her is the epitome of delusion, good lord. 😂
😂😂😂😂
Exactly
😳😒🙄🙄Seriously..
They all believe that. Like they don't have a mirror. Why would a model want a retired person? The worst ones are the old men who have been stuck up in their house, not cutting their hair or dressing in anything but a dirty Tshirt, missing teeth and this gorgeous blonde model falls madly in love with them. It seems as if they stop thinking nor using their common sense
@@Nettiezoo Lol..ur so right..😂😹💯
I'm sorry but this story is absolutely unbelievable. How could she sent so much money to a man she never saw? Absolutely crazy
But, but he called her "hunny"!
Common sense is not so common.
I would not even consider lending that amount to a friend or relative and I would be insulted that they even asked. She could have had some dates, even with "younger" men for a lot less money than that. They would have been temporary companionship, but at least she would have actually spent time with a human being.
I can not wrap my head around this come on really get a clue!
It might be a case that we, viewers are scammed to believe that these people were scammed. TH-cam views pays money.
He may have taken your breath away, but he also took your money away.
And brains…
Took her check away!
He didn't take it, she gave it away
'I'm a dumpy, unattractive 66-year old woman and this is my handsome, word-travelling fiancee whom I've never met and who needs 100K of my money'. Seems legit.
Spot on x
yea some of these fantasy scams these older women fall for are so far fetched they would make a soap opera series seem legit.
Are there really people this stupid in the world!
At what part in time dose this become a scam ? She is never forced to give any money she sent it because she wanted to. Can you cry scam due to stupidity. Sometimes I just can't feel sorry for them/ people have told her he wasn't real.
@@JFM1170just because she wasnt basic-level smart doesnt mean it wasnt a scam
Even if this guy was proven to be real, he still owes this woman over $100k and has never made it to visit her. I know the victims often say they'd be thrilled if their scammer was a real person, but with that in mind, they would still be scumbags; every single one of them.
My thoughts exactly.
This! I don’t think this is highlighted enough.
These scammers get to a point where they don't even try anymore. Once they know they've got a hold on their victims and see how gullible and foolish they are, they just come up with the most lame and blatantly implausible excuses as to why they ask for money. It's insane how anyone can fall for that.
I had someone try to scam me. They said that they needed money for their mom's medicine then sent me a picture of a pretty girl implying that's what they look like(the scammer). I told them my dog needed the money for her medicine then sent a picture of Robert Pattinson and said that was my dog.
@@TheguyfromJurassicpark3 ahah, I would have loved to see their face!
They actually share the paying victims info with other scammers so they fall for it again.
Once a person sends money, it is easy to do it again and again. After they send thousands of dollars, they likely feel like they have invested so much already into the person and the imaginary relationship.
And it's always "BABE" I need more money..
"I am not a rich woman"
Says the woman with two rental properties
"I'm not a rich woman" No, not anymore !! 🤣🤣🤣
Even if he was real. Why on earth would you want to be with someone like that?
Delusion, loneliness and being groomed …
This is the 1 million dollar question.
Lol yes def delusion is involved when a doddy ol' lady in her '80's thinks there's nothing strange about some hot, 50-something year old millionaire wanting to marry her after 10 min of chatting online, but mostly it's got to be a mutually beneficial relationship as she just has to be getting something out of constantly being the "Savior" for her hapless guy & his constant problems. And I say this because of how many of these "victims" insist on returning to the act of regularly sending cash even after it's been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they're being scammed. (probably well over 50 percent?)
Everyone around told her, but she was the smarter one... She even managed to insult her dead husband.
I wish they would show the reactions of the family members too.
So true
She's infatuated with someone she's made up in her own mind.
This is clearly a new type of addiction - sending money to scammers. I never thought so but it's made clear episode per episode.
It's like drug addiction. Maybe as bad.
I’m talking to this man at the moment and four others. I go on until they request money and then promise that I’ve sent it. Imagining them trying to locate the money makes my day 😂😂
Hilarious 😂😂😂
Oh i want to do that so bad. How do you find them and trick them that money has been sent. I so wanna waste these bastards time!!
LOL!! I get 'friended' on Social Media all the time by these scammer...you can tell they're profile is fake, they always call you beautiful. RIGHT....
Oh that’s fun. A bunch of gal pals and me torment them mercilessly and say their money will come by carrier pigeon
Oh brilliant, must be so satisfying 😆
These women sure love telling you how smart they are when they’re talking about how they threw away staggering amounts of money.
They may have a normal IQ but also both ignorant and naive.
These women have zero idea what a REAL man is supposed to be! She “went without” for him?! C’mon! She was buying a relationship she could never have organically.
Real men don't date online.
@@marknewton6984 All the real men are gone
Thats not true, her last marriage lasted 22 years, most victims of romance scams are old people that have been in a very long marriage and after not dating for so many decades and being with someone honest and loyal (most likely) its like they don't even have doubts of people being dishonest.
I hate at the end, when the Victim turns into an Advisor, telling us what not to do. Don’t worry, we know.
I know right? 99 percent of these “victims” are such narcissists.
Lol right!
“And where does he live, supposedly?” Why does she need to know that? Is she going to stalk the real man? She gave me creepy vibes herself when she said that.
They always want to "confront" them at the end. They do NOT believe he's in Nigeria. They think it's the guy they hooked up with, but just used different photos. I do not think most of these women can accept they've been conned. They have no sense of reality.
I think that she has had enough evidence that he is not real.@JohnnytNatural
@JohnnytNatural This guy Gene is a victim too and no need to stalk him. That's what the investigators try to protect.
She is scary.
She's going to buy a ladder 🪜 😂
I can’t believe by now they don’t recognize that the scammer will mimic your life to get closer to you.
I have a hard time believing that people are so gullible that they send hundreds of thousand dollars to someone they have never met. What in the world is wrong with them.
They have severe mental illness. Seriously. You can't see that?
No alot of people aren't that smart. They really are that gullible. Also I think they get so caught up in the fantasy that they don't realize someone like that wouldn't be interested in someone like them. The scammer is usually this gorgeous person that wouldn't even give them the time of day in real life. They get caught up in the fantasy.
I find it difficult to feel any sympathy for the stupidity and desperation of these scammed people. A fool and their money are soon parted. And when the scammer investigators asked her what she wanted from them, she still clung to the hope it was real
@@paulbrown6464 It's easier to feel sympathy when you realize most of them have severe mental illness. They have proper mental disorders. It's not just that they are 'foolish' but legit, their brains cannot 'do the work', they cannot 'know better' anymore because they have severe sickness of the mind/brain.
A combination of loneliness, gullibility, and isolation.
Zero sympathy, total delusion. I feel sorry for her deceased husband who worked hard all his life only for her to squander it all on delusion. She needs help😢
Agreed 👍🏿
I said the same thing
Yup. I swear these people are suffering from an undiagnosed mental disorder. There is no way they could willingly give away thousand upon thousands of dollars to someone they never met. It just don’t make sense. Someone seriously needs to do some research into these people.
@@daCubanaqt 😂😂
With $108k she could've travelled, donated generously, made investments, even put a deposit down on property depending on where she lives. Loneliness isn't enough, as pervasive as it is. There's a personality type that's susceptible to this. It should be studied.

Always widows who had it all. I haven’t seen any single mothers do this because I was a single mom and like hell if a man’s gonna get my money.
you're 100% correct. Age has nothing to do with it either, and it's already been studied. Codependency and a dependent personality.

These women would REFUSE to date a man who wouldn't pay for the first dinner date... but are EAGER to throw away their money on a fictional online "boyfriend".

I guess the saying there’s no fool like an old fool was made for people like these
You are not horrible. No one feels sorry for these people, because they are idiots. If they had just a touch of self reflection, and a mirror, they would know that someone that could be a model (mostly they are😂), would never ever look thier way.
I don't think you are a horrible person. If a man asked me for money I'd be "hell no". How many red flags do you need?

She already knows he's fake. She's constantly saying "if" he's real. She knows already
Why would anyone want a man (woman) who asks them for money? Especially before they even meet them. But in any circumstance, even a real live man, who asked me for money, in person, is going to get a big fat middle finger from me.
It's Spiritual

This is Juju
@@donnagelina8548 It's Spiritual

It’s not spiritual anything. Just manipulation to create addiction. They love bomb so the victim gets used to that high of getting their undivided attention and love then creates situations where that could possibly be taken away from them and the victim does everything to keep that source going and knowing that they’re not real don’t really make a difference.
Yes, despite having fallen for the con, it seems she's more grounded than many others, and was able to pull herself out of the fantasy. So it seems. Sometimes they surprise us and get back in touch and send money even after proclaiming to Catfished that they've blocked him.
Haha. The prison break story has to top all the stories I've heard scammers tell. 😂

It's a good one.
I don't care how good looking or how much he tells me he loves me....I would never put myself in debt for a man I have never met in person. This is crazy. I am not sure how these woman fall for this.
As soon as someone asks for money, big red flags are waving vigorously...
I had a female with a young photo offering to marry me (on facebook) a while back. I'm a senior citizen. I played along for one evening. Sent her photos of my apartment etc. I cut it off the next morning. No young female is going to marry an old man before meeting, and almost certainly not AFTER meeting unless a lot of money is involved.
Men too.
Oh about that 500 USA hon 😅
They are dumb!
“He won’t answer my calls, I think he’s running away.” - more likely, he found a more lucrative mark!
I don’t understand how these people willingly hand over their money to a stranger. The mind boggles.
Especially the vapid, empty conversations. All the scammer has to do is parrot her likes and dislikes, and add a few hollow compliments!
BAM! Easy money!!!
Mental health is real
Me neither. I still feel bad for her
SMH don't understand why . I would never send money to anyone. Good grief soulmates. That's what's wrong. I hate the term soul mate

The lack of accountability is what it is, refusing to blame herself and needing to blame ANYONE OTHER THAN HERSELF! The guilt that you realize you’re an IDIOT is a tough pill to swallow at her age if she wasn’t aware earlier in life.

The catfish mirrors what their victim says.

Also, all these episodes have taught me that one’s projection of love is POWERFUL! No matter the red flags, the victim feels loved because she, herself, loves the catfisher so much.
Be careful out there, people.
If all of your friends and family are telling you that it's a scam - it's a SCAM!
The sheer stupidity of trusting a stranger, and ignoring your true loved ones is mind-boggling.
Then, to actually send more money after investigators confirm that it is indeed a scam...
I'm having a hard time feeling any sympathy for her.
I don't feel sorry for any of these delusional, narcissistic, egotistical idiots.
Why? She is a strong and independent woman.
@leepialong TF are you talking about? Every dime she had came from her late husband
It baffles me that an unnatractive person thinks that they will land an attractive person online. Online arena is about looks exclusively... That person doesnt know you... Its the only parameter that they will use
"Lynn has spent over $100000 trying to get Hubbard back to the United States". I have lived overseas several times in my life. It's not that tough to return to the US... buy a ticket, grab your passport and get yourself to the airport. One commonality I notice among these victims is a lack of awareness about international travel.
Haha I always think this too, I was annoyed when I had to pay like $30 for my visa process when I lived abroad; these ladies hear the guy needs tens of thousands of dollars just for a visa and they don't question it 🤔 and you can probably look up the process for any country you want online ......
“Her type” = toned, younger, good health, at weight, a 9/10, rich, “likes” her and proclaims love/marriage after a week of texting ; while these victims are always older, sickly, fat, 4-5 in looks, believes they are loved for themselves but have never met these people. But they will sell their houses, assets, give every dollar they have, 401Ks, even money laundering but they are smart.
Guess I was blessed to have had a horrible marriage. I don’t trust or believe freely and I need to see action correspond with words. I think if someone has a loving marriage then it is gone they tend to believe scammers.
She didn't have to compromise her well being, she chose to -- for someone she's never met. End of!

What these people have to understand is that NONE of you are "in love" with these scammers. It's a high from the attention, it's what a 13 year old feels, a rush, a chemical high that has absolutely nothing to do with love. It's the same when you meet anyone in person. Love takes a long time and is based on factors that come out after months, years. I wish people would get that through their heads and stop being driven to do what we see on these videos based on an illusion.
Good point.
Love is a verb. An action word.
Love isn’t about what you say, it’s about what you do.
Fantastically said!

The thing you always notice about these “victims” is they always lust so hard for the pics online but never put any effort into making themselves look/feel better. If any of them chose to better themselves for their new “love” they’d quickly see it for the lie it is.
Agreed. And surprise surprise....these women , if they put as much effort into the basics at the very least. ...like...combing their damn hair and show some pride they may find romance locally when they aren't looking.

@@treewitch666 I’m not judging their looks at all, just saying that the only reason these people ignore their family and loved ones warning them is because they get so wrapped into the fantasy, which would get easily exposed as such if they spent any time meditating, working out, or otherwise engaging with reality.
