Soon as she said Nigeria I knew she got scammed 😢
Sorry I was laughing with JJ the same time. Barnum Bailey was right. A sucker is born every minute
🤣🤣🤣
Yup!!!!
SAME!!!!
They scammed a x co-worker I used to work with before and told her she won 500,000 dollars and she had to send them 500 dollars and when she called them back she cursed them out and told them “ you a dumb MF for doing that “ and she said the man told her “ Naw, MF you’re the one who is dumb B!!!! I got your 500 dollars you dumb ssa” and hung up the phone 😂😂😂 then she still didn’t learn her lesson cause she told me that she knew someone selling money orders 5,000 for 50 dollars and I told her that money orders don’t even come that high and that the highest they come is 1,000 and she said “ well, they look legit and I need them” anyways I tried to tell her but she wouldn’t listen cause she wanted to believe it ( like JJ said) so she got scammed again and I didn’t say a word when she told me but I tried not to laugh cause she should have listened
"i've been discharged from the military but they won't bring me back into the country" wasn't a red flag??
😂 the sick thing about it is even if it was a true story, it’s still a huge flailing red flag 🚩 😂😂😂
OKAY??? 😂
Hey, don't question her. She served two tours of duty at Ruby Tuesday's 😅
She didn’t want to believe it was a scammer
Catfished on "Plenty of fish"....😂😂😂cant make it up.
Having been in the military the entire situation sounds ridiculous. JJ's laugh is completely deserved. 😂
Same 😂😂😂 Left him in Afghanistan?!?! 😂😂😂 She is too old to be that gullible.
Yeah I was in the Marines 8 years including 1 deployment to Iraq. It's crazy to me that people believe this nonsense too.🤦🏻♂️
When will these woman wake up.? 😪
Having not been in the military this entire situation still sound rediculas lol
@@alexc.7975 She looks maybe 49 or 50 and this isn't too old.
As soon as I heard ‘Plenty of Fish’, I got red flags about the situation
Clearly ripe for phishing.
I met my darling man on POF. We are still together, sweet lil'dumpling man. You can meet somebody nice on POF or Our Time or anywhere, but "stupid is as stupid does, Forrest." I made SURE we met at a public place. And no long distance stuff. Did make friends with a poor guy from Pretoria. He said" I truly am screwed, woman. I actually DO work on an oil rig. I'm A bloody COOK. " Turns out that is no joke, I guess they work 3 shifts round the clock because work there never stops. He has to be able to feed a shift late, early, whenever they come in. We still text from time to time and I do hope Piet finds somebody nice. ( The pictures he sent me weren't scam material. Scary.)Marine petroleum well stationary platforms are filthy, noisy and incredibly dangerous. Don't know why I'm telling you this except that there are decent guys out there, but discernment is necessary skill.
I've met some ppl on POF, but never scammed
ONCE MORE FOR ANYONE OUT THERE: At no point does anyone in the military need you to send them money for medical, necessary expenses, or travel. Everything is covered in full. It is a scam. Stop sending them money.
EXACTLY!! A whole damn scam! 😂😂😂
are you frikin serious.... like even for food? cause.... thats what my dad always did....
Let me add: NO ONE WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE ROMANTIC INTEREST SHOULD GET YOUR MONEY. THEY MAY NEED MONEY BUT THATS NOT YOUR PROBLEM. RUN AWAY AND DO SO FAST!!!!
@@sanv3275 send them food in a box but not money
And only food that’s allowed to be imported
Totally made a fool of the defendant. The plaintiff didn't even need to say a word.
And the sad part is, when JJ talks about "the government" and "some government", the defendant nods, agreeing, not even getting JJ is being sarcastic. Sheesh, some people really need saving from being potential victims (saying it nicely) of scams.
I'm 1000% sure each and every person she talked to about him told her he's lying, but she didn't want to hear it.@@amixeblu
Yep! And no matter how ridiculous the story is, these people still believe it all! Its astonishing @amixeblu
@@melissawright1979 Sometimes scams can be so subtle and sneaky, but other times? Even the scammers sometimes get scammed.
Judge Judy laugh “ he said he would pay her back double “
😂😂
If he had that type of money in the first place why wouldn’t he be able to bring himself back home? 😂💀
That's right and she has the paperwork to prove he said it! LOLOLOL
The sad thing is that there are people out there who believe those scam callers or scam profiles from dating sites and get duped
Consider how long ago this was recorded and think about how the catfishing industry has grown since then. This was just the tip of the iceberg
@@darlenefraser3022yea but what hasn't changed is people lack of common sense and knowledge. I don't even know about the military but even I understand you wouldn't just be left somewhere after discharged
@@bunnyrabi totally! As JJ pointed out, it’s because the victim wants to believe that some hot guy could be interested in them.
I watched a TH-cam video “documentary” about this guy who knew he was being scammed but he fell in love with the guy who was scamming him, he fell in love with the idea of love and how the dude would call and talk to him. He ended up homeless and then missing, was a sad thing to see. Guy needed help and knew it, but was addicted to the scammer basically.
@@chancemathews7057 That is heartbreaking! I also saw a documentary of an older woman that was scammed out of tens of thousands. I felt so sorry for her because all she wanted to love and companionship. Unfortunately, there are thousands of women and men that feel they need to pay a so-called mate to be with them. Truly sad.
I love how JJ leaned over and laughed 😂😂
I leaned with her 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@nicoledillard7358 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve worked in both telecommunications and banking and the amount of times people fall for these scams is truly baffling. The worst is when it’s someone who is elderly because they can be so desperate for someone to be there for them to talk to that they just will not believe it’s a lie. The most heartbreaking experience I’ve ever had was an 80 year old lady sitting in my store sobbing because she really thought that man was her friend and he took her for every penny she had.
That's disgusting what happened to that elderly lady.😭
There's a special place in hell for people who scam the elderly.
@@wifeoftim I’m sure she is in a pickle and on food stamps now. It’s incredibly sad.
That’s flat out heartbreaking . Makes my blood boil
Yea unfortunately the reason these scams continue to exist is because people continue to fall for them. If they didn't work at least sometimes.... they wouldn't be so common.
Judge Judy is having the time of her life with this case lol
She tickled herself with that one joke
I love cases when one side doesn’t have to say a word.
She's definitely blessed because she is so high look at her eyes 👀 rolling in her head 😂 look at how Bryd watching her 😂
FYI I was rolling my eyes at her bs!!!!! And I didn't sleep the night before cause I was nervous as all hell!! And he's watching me cause just before I went up there I was puking my guts out and about ready to pass out!!!
I had a cousin almost fall for this scam! She asked my dad for $3000 to help the guy get home from Afghanistan cause he was also supposedly “kicked out” of the military. She refused to believe us that it was a scam and completely cut us out of her life despite now knowing we were right.
She is ashamed, leave her, she will come running back to you sooner rather than later. 😢😥😥😢
@@donnathomas9111
I was going to post the same comment! Embarrassed , humiliated and ashamed. She doesn’t want any reminders of that time in her life right now.
0
@@donnathomas9111 Probably not lol, that was almost 10 years ago. She has not once made a peep to us and barely even speaks to her own mom who also told her to piss off when she asked her for the money too lmao
Wow that’s sad…
This is the reason people from over seas continue to run these catfish scams because people like this lady will fall for it
The scammer was in the US, though. They lied and said they were overseas
@@fairycloudz315She never met him in person - how does she know he was actually IN the USA, though? Or even in Afghanistan? Goodness knows where he really was!
@@MommyLion She mentioned Nigeria, as well. That country is thick with scammers.
exactly! i feel bad when these scammers take advantage of people like the elderly or people with conditions that make them more naive but some people are mentally there enough to see this is insane and go with it anyway, it’s concerning!
@@fairycloudz315not necessarily..99.9%of them are in Nigeria
These kind of cases are just sad. People are so needy of love that they crawl for any crumbs thrown at them.
Exactly. I feel bad for the defendant, however she could have prevented this embarrassment by paying her friend back and not coming on tv to add more embarrassment.
@@Crazycatlady71yeah, I’m still trying to figure out what her defence was going to be!!
It is sad.
My brother was DISHONORABLY discharged.. But definitely was provided a way home. Not in the quickest or most comfortable way, but he had a way home nonetheless.
what did he do?
@@karlas4446 Basically thought the service was a vacation. Smoking Mary Jane, talking back, getting into fights..
Yea one thing about it, they gone get you home regardless !
@@here2laff397 They definitely will !
Shame on your brother!!!🤨
I don't know what made her believe coming on JJ's show would be anything other than massive embarrassment... on the other hand if she believed her boyfriend was stranded in Afghanistan to the tune of $2700...
the show pays the debt so its worth a little embarrassment
The show pays the settlement amount and then some.
They pay the 750 not anymore! Wish they did... they fly you there and get your room, that's all..
This is the most I’ve ever seen JJ laugh 😂
When JJ started laughing, I lost it. 😂😂😂 She believes he was discharged from the American military and was left in Afghanistan. She wants to believe it.
The lady sitting behind the defendant is ALL of us. That look of disbelief and confusion is the exact look I had watching this case.
I saw her face as soon as I read your comment. 😭😭😭
JJ's laugh 😂😂😂 I love her!!!
She cackled 😂
I love how JJ just laughed in her silly face repeatedly!!
This case is sad.
With how common this scam is it fascinates me as to how people still fall for it.
Same. But some people are sadly so desperate for love to where it clouds their judgement.
Because they're gullible idiots unfortunately.
@@brandikins11 It's not desperate, it's plain stupidity.
I think that they think they’re too smart to be taken in, so this person MUST be legit
Theý stupid
JJ was so tickled 🤣🤣
If I was the defendant I wouldn't wanna be made a fool of anymore than I already did and would pay back the money over appearing on judge judy to be made a fool infront of 10 million people
I hope the defendant learned from this. She just seems so broken from being a victim of that scam. I do feel bad for her. How lonely she must be to have fallen for one of the oldest fishing scams out there.
She doesn't have any money, or own anything!! She owed me the 2k on top of the 750.. I tried to go after her for it and couldn't get a dime back..
This case was just a Comedy Central roast. LMAO !! Don't think I've seen her laugh that consistently. Damn near the whole short episode.
It’s a difficult when what you believe in is torn down right in front of your eyes
Well stated. Hard to feel anything by sad for the defendant.
Fat girl trying to find love 😂
Someone in Nigeria is watching this video and laughing his ass off 😂
As a Nigerian, Indeed. 😂😂😂😂😂
He's trying to find her contact info.
Sad sad women
Poor lady. She’s probably very sad. I hope she realizes that she is lovable.
I feel the same. Empathy is lacking in many of these comments and today's society. I'm glad like you still have a heart.
She will still be sending the person money. Shes a desperate loser who will never learn i have a friend who is exactly the same she still hasn't learned even got to the point she brought a cheap ring pretending he brought it for her from a store they dont even have in the country he's in (pakistan) the military base there doesnt have internet so she has to send him google cards or he wont message her
I agree. I don't like the comments saying that she or other scam victims "deserve" it. Being gullible isn't a moral failing. IMO the only people who "deserve" bad things to happen are people who hurt others.
She conspired with someone to scam her friend out of money. She's loveable...she's despicable.
@@bellalegendre2644 she did not conspire. She was duped.
The woman had more faith in a man she's never even met or seen than she does in the military! Thinking they would discharge someone and just leave them in a country we are at war with 🤦♀️and she didnt know why he was discharged. She just bought it. Tell me youre desperate without saying you're desperate!
Ngl, I feel bad for her. She looks like she wanted to believe because she is lonely. Loneliness can be extremely dangerous and weaponized by conniving people. I hope she doesnt fall for any more scams in the future and finds a good partner.
Yeah but you gotta use common sense though
There was an investigation into criminals targeting people on dating sites, always claiming to be in the military then asking for cash to be wired to them for some mahor need or emergency. Looks like the defendant was one of those victims...
I came across these romance scammers on a dating site. They operate in teams, often working on the victim for several weeks before they ask for money. Sometimes they claim to be in the military, sometimes they say they have a job on an oil rig. That lets them explain 1) why they can't meet in person, and 2) why they suddenly need lots of money. I wasn't fooled for long--the person claimed to live in my state, but they didn't know a very popular restaurant in the area, and their command of English varied from day to day. (See above about working in teams.)
Once you've come across them, their tactics are blindingly obvious. They always work in a remote area. They always try to get you to move away from the dating site as soon as possible. They almost never want to talk on the phone. The photos they use are from stock photo sites.
one sucker born every minute
Im a handsome Nigerian prince who was also kicked out of the army and im stuck in this country.
Can anyone send me money so I can fly back home? I promise to pay you back with the millions of dollar that I have sitting back home
There are tons of scammers preying on lonely people. If they ask you for money, block them immediately.
When the defendant uttered the word NIGERIA, that was enough. Even before she dropped the "he'll pay her back double."
Scammers always tell these people they will pay them back double. Who does that?
How could anybody believe such an obvious scam? 😂
As Judge Judy said she wanted to believe
JJs laugh 1:59 is hilarious
I have never seen her laugh that hard 😩🤣
Judge Judy didn't have to laugh like that.. 😂😂😂
Before everyone comes for the Defendant, I just want to say…to us this sounds ridiculous but if you’ve ever been single for a long time and are deeply wanting someone to love you, that feeling can drive you to a place of doing things you wouldn’t even believe.
I’m just saying people don’t want to be dying alone out here. For those who have a relationship and someone to love them be grateful and for those of usssss that don’t have a relationship and are single…stay strong my friends✊🏾 dating is hard out there. She still needs to pay her friend back.
Oh please. Did she die...no she didn't. These scams have been around forever. The defendant should've known better. I wouldn't be surprised if she was in cahoots with the online boyfriend scamming others out of money. So yeah I passing judgement.
@@bellalegendre2644True!
I've been alone for a long time..but I would never fall for this scam ever!!!!! First time they asked for money...it's bye bye
2:57 JJ’s laugh and the lady in the back looking down 😂😂
The plaintiff didn’t have to say a word.
Plenty Of Fish? You’re kidding me 😂😂
I'm really trying to find some sympathy for the defendant...
It really is sad that she's so lonely that she would fall for this scam. I do feel bad for her. She lacks common sense at the very least, but doesn't appear too bright either. She was perfect candidate for a fishing scam.
@@Crazycatlady71 The sympathy ended for me at her defense for not repaying the loan to her friend: "He had stated he was going to pay her double back."
Save your sympathy for someone who actually needs it
@@purplelove3666 🤨
@@Crazycatlady71Probably thinks she has a nice figure as well. If she's that desperate for a man she ought to take a long look in the mirror and start from there.
The two guys in back of the plaintiff... priceless! 😅🤣
The only thing that would have made this case more ridiculous is if the defendant had sent it all in gift cards.
And she stood there the whole time looking as though she still believes the story!
She thought Judge Judy was being serious talking about the government, too. She is so dumb she honestly doesn't get it.
Judy should’ve kept embarrassing her for 3 parts. 😂
I think the defendant has been embarrassed enough, however she could have prevented this embarrassment by paying her friend back.
“And you believed him because you wanted to” 😂
Starting with the defendant - always works out for the plaintiff! Let’s see …
To Afghanistan and Nigeria!!! lol 😂
JJ's laugh is always contagious 🤣. What ever she laughs at is definitely funny
He went to Afghanistan and Nigeria 😂
I have a woman I help with rides and things. She told me that she had met a guy online and she was in love. They had been talking for months, and she needed two thousand dollars for him to get home from canada because he didn't have his license or visa or something. She couldn't even explain it. I tried to tell her that it sounded like a scam, and she got so offended that I would think she was dumb enough to fall for a scam. ( which it obviously was because she didn't want to discuss it about a month later ) He probably scammed her out of a whole disability check I would imagine. Peanuts to him, everything to her. Taking advantage of someone's lonliness is as low as you can get
There's actually a catfish channel and i see lots of women like her get romance scammed
Plenty of Fish...more like Plenty of Catfish. 😂
Afghanistan Nigeria?
I had to do a double take on that!😂
*and
It is so sad how many lonely people are out there, and even sadder that they are so desperate they will believe anything
Ladies stay off these sites! These guys are scammers
Once she said Nigeria I knew she was scammed lol 😂
Online dating is risky
The plaintiff was stupid to give her money. But the defendant was the most stupid for believing this scam. Women can be such suckers.
What about all the simps?
Plenty of men fall for these romance scams as well. There's a YT channel called catfished that has case studies. There's other YT channels as well.
I was told it was to save her house, not to go to some dip shit she never met, I didn't know that till the day I went on the show, that's why I'm so pissed... I'm not that dumb, thank you!!
Patiently waiting for Nev and Kami from ‘Catfish’ to make an episode about this 🤣😭
Jj is laughing hard no it’s a scam 😂😂😂😂
We literally said “Don’t tell me what she knew!” At the same time. 😂😂🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ I watch too much of JJ
I don't understand sending money to someone you've never seen in person. I don't even like to let My friends borrow money.
I LOST it when JJ started laughing HAHAHAHAHAHA
Not again 🤦♀ Lending people money is and suing them to pay back is an extreme sport🤣
The defendant is silly for not paying her fried/ex-co-worker back 🤣She hands down knew it was a scam.
How will someone need money from you, promise to pay you double back and you believe them🤣2:57 JJ is me🤣
Truth!
Sad case, the defendant really wanted to believe he was for real.
I was clear after 'Plenty of Fish,' and 'Nigeria.' Loneliness is so damaging.....
i feel sorry for her because she’s desperate and he scammed her
Scammers always target people with low self esteem n aren’t confident enough about themselves .
She should have paid her friend back. No sympathy for defendant.
I would just tell a friend and significant other……no…what is wrong with these people.
I would of told her no if that's what she told me it was going to.. all together I gave her 2750, she told me it was so she didn't lose her house!! I was winning and I didn't want to piss jj off..
2 minutes in and I am already recognizing this as a romance scam!
I love this
Plenty of Fish, lol. She's sure had plenty of ice cream
Sounds like she catfished her friend …… 🤦🏽♀️
Look at how Byrd looking at her 😂😂😂
This lady wanted to be liked so bad by a man she believed he was abandoned in another country lol 😂You can tell these people have never had love in their life and are desperate.
Lol they don't just leave u there 🤣 😂 😂
At least she got her laughs on this case 😂
How many others said "Don't tell me what she knew" at the same time Judge Judy said it??? 😂
I love how the plaintiff didn’t have to say a single word this entire case 😭
I really can't understand anyone sending money to someone they've never met that isn't for charity.
Wow just wow! If that doesn’t scream scam!!
As soon as they said the last name of the plaintiff I knew they were from Minnesota 😂
Wow! That Plaintiff didn't have to say one word.😳😳😳😳
I try to be sympathetic and then I hear the foolishness and I just can't! 🙄
Exactly! I feel the same way. Glad I'm not the only one.
Judge Judy is so wise!❤
She is gullible.
I feel so sorry for the defendant because she is not the only person in the world who has fallen for this scam. Unfortunately, it's gonna cost her two times what she lost. Hate to say it, but despite that this guy took the defendant for a ride, that doesn't mean she has to take the plaintiff with her. 😔😔😔
The Nigerian scammers got her😂😂😂....she seems to still believe the guy's real
I wonder how much money she has sent him in all. I bet the reason she had to borrow it from her friend was because she sent him all she had. There’s a TH-cam channel showing tons of people who fall for this. It’s baffling how naïve they are.
2700 of my money, cause she had none!!! And she told me it was so she didn't lose her house, not to send to some dude she never even met!!!
Omg pof scam thats horrible, i have people similiar military stories to try to scam me. Sad she fell for it.
😂😂😂😂 I wish somebody would give me free money
Plaintiff said NOTHING. but defendant said plenty of fish and I’m like 🤦🏽♀️
Oh how desperate!!! She could spend they money on a gym membership and maybe get an actual boyfriend after a few months commitment
