What a creep. He should be arrested and thrown in jail. Showing up to someone's house unannounced with malice intent. I would be scared and would call the police. Really creepy following the victim around, harassing them. Even ambushing them at a petrol station. This Steve Marshall guy seems like a dangerous stalker.
So it’s weird to show up to someone’s house, who you believe you have built a relationship with, to meet them, but it’s absolutely fine for a current affair to show up to random peoples houses and start harassing them?
Yeh the way that's reported is just weird as fuck. It's like they've never visited 1 of their mates, knocked on the front door then knocked on a window, and when you got no answer walk around the back. It's perfectly normal if you know somebody and have planned to meet up. It's not like the dude was trying to sneak around and break in, that's pretty clear on the footage if you subtract the over dramatized editing. I could probably edit some footage of me walking into my own home and make myself look like the biggest creep on the planet, especially when I lost my key and had to jump in a window haha.
Its not like papparazzi or reporters havent condemned the actions of what killed di either. They still do chase em down the street for a story. News n the like are the biggest hypocrites of the all. Violent video games are the reason y ppl kill each other for eg n you gotta stop ppl playin them.. Turn on the news, see stalkers, shootings, killing, stabbing etc Y dont they report on the GOOD stuff that happens?
I feel sorry for him, this is something I can see my brother getting mixed up in. He wasn’t very savvy with online dating and has a learning disability. He got preyed on by someone who said they were from China but living here. Shame on A Current Affair! And Sophie Monk should know how often this happens… poor guy
He has full grounds for a law suit if he has been scammed and aca has gone and portrayed him as being a creep he has grounds to sue them for defamation of character
I watched this episode when it came out and had the exact same thoughts on the beginning but then I was mad when he said he was scammed. It made me so sad they exploited him, chased him around and made fun of him on world wide television. They did not do journalistic due diligence and report the true, instead they mocked and harassed a average citizen
They should do an episode on the people scammed out of love, money and much more by romance scams. All the people who genuinely believe they are interacting with celebrities and totally in love! Not flipping the script and making fun and exploiting them.
ACA really needs to be stopped or at least held more accountable when they go too far like this. Like seriously how do they have the power to go into someone's house and film it. who ever gave them the power to do that needs to take it away again before they do more harm to another innocent person.
yea they doxed him, now anyone in that area of the city knows where he lives. There will be people who will turn up to his house and attack him, or burn his place down.
Im not into all this social media BS, but if this guy is saying the truth then someone should start one of them fundme things and get him out of that shack just to stick it up all those yuppies nose.
Now imagine deepfake catfishing. You wouldnt know unless you meet. Then a chance being accused of a stalker and stalked by A Current Affair. What a weird and dangerous world is becoming.
Especially with AI voices. Saw a video about how a group stole a few million and will likely never be caught because the only lead they have is a phone call between the employee and who he though was his boss (complete with the “boss” sending him an email) but was actually an AI voice of his boss.
Like the poor nurse who hired a bike in the US after her 12 hr shift to get home ONLY for a group of 5 men try and take her bike… I hope she sued the sh!t outta every one of them! The news outlets, reporters and they guys doing this!
🙄 if someone took their life behind anything like this then maybe they shouldnt be here. Thats rediculous, people have things way too easy nowdays to take their lives behind anything as minute as this. Natural selection used to take out the weak & now with modern medicine & the ease we now have doing just the basics like having running water/indoor plumbing, central ac & heating etc peoples lives used to be far more difficult & most ppl didnt have time to even think about such things. People also all used to be far more religious & had more self discipline, self awareness etc so wouldnt even think of committing such a sin not only for their own sake but also to not bring shame to their families/friends
Such a relief to see a balanced piece of reporting where facts were found and both sides were .. oh, wait .. neither side was interviewed.and no real facts were processed.
They've completely humiliated the man. Regardless of the situation, no one should be made a spectacle about what their house looks like on national TV, what's his house got to do with anything? Hope he sues them👌
Haha, can hear your baby losing it in the background at 11:09 Been there mate. I would also fk off to the next room with "sorry babe, I need to work, can't settle the baby right now"
I remember talking to a guy who was involved in online dating and believed he was dating a Chinese billionaire. He confidently mentioned that she would be arriving in a couple of months to pick him up in her private jet. Furthermore, he astonishingly claimed that he had given her $50,000. Haha!
Fun (well, depressing) fact: "The lucky country" was originally coined as an insult, as in "look at what we've been given, and how poorly we've used it"
This level of Country wide embarrassment would be enough for some people who are struggling to suicide. He was obviously gullible but he doesn’t deserve this.
This is horrible. Do I think they initiated this, probably not. However, do I think they would seize it as an opportunity and ran with it, absolutely. I don't trust a word out of network media's mouths. He needs to sue them from here and back.
@@madtabby66 my understanding, to the point most lawyers will drop it because it will cost way to much, then gets to point it will cost them thousands to even get to talk to someone. Shit is bullshit
Thank you for doing this. The guy was catfished. Catfished. Catfished. He was scammed. Nothing about this guy deserved mocking his home, his car, or harassing him. He was innocent. Naive. A bit like someone who may struggle socially. Harassing this guy disgusted me. His house is on a great block of land. "Sydneys West".... is a way of shaming someone. That journalist was the creeeeeep.
That's so sad for the dude he was played like that. A friend of mine was confidence tricked out of his life savings by fake window's support. Might sound funny to some and everyone likes to think it wouldn't happen to them, but scammers are often very good at what they do and it ain't funny to have your savings wiped out.
Damn...I think you nailed it. You should do go fund me and fix his porch. Injustice is funny when it isn't me. Also in a heart breaking moment he returned to take back the rose.
If I was that poor guy, I'd be saying "1 lawyer please", then sue them for that hatchet job. It was cruel enough he was catfished and scammed out of a shitload of cash, but for them to go and do this was just wrong of them.
ratings choice: "mentally ill man gets catfished", OR..... "tv star 'victim' gets stalked by scary home invader".......nothing has changed on commercial television, its like a people magazine on steroids
That Steve Marshall guy needs SUEING...BADLY! I'm glad you called this out, my guy....but, how about do that poor fella a REAL SOLID....and send a money-loving, COMPETENT, defamation lawyer his way!! It shouldn't be long before Mr. Marshall won't have to be so offended by this poor man's home. STEVE can BUY HIM A NEW ONE!!
There's a similar story in Lebanon, with a huge lebanese star singer, but it ended sadly, the fan went to the star House and the husband was there and mistook him as an intruder and shot the guy dead
How do we know the scammer wasn't actually someone from A Current Affair, and this wasn't a scheme to create publicity for Munk and money for themselves?
Sounds like a quick look of his msgs and chat history should have cleared this up. ACA should be sued into oblivion if it turns out this bloke was catfished. They only care because she is hot otherwise nobody would have cared.
5:33 can't wait for your video as to why parents of very young children (and depending on the length of the car trip, not so young,) HAVE TO CARRY TP! Oh Mr Butterfield how I DO look forward to that upload! 😆 😆 😆 9:05 I do believe I can hear newborn baby Butterfield screaming up a storm? Really great when they still wear disposable nappies Buttsmarn But when it's, "daddy daddy quick stop I need to poop right NOW and you're a fairway from any BP.......you're gonna NEED that TP! 🤭

Yooooooo you had me for a second 😂

Thought you were talking about the victim for a sec
So it’s weird to show up to someone’s house, who you believe you have built a relationship with, to meet them, but it’s absolutely fine for a current affair to show up to random peoples houses and start harassing them?
Reporters: Its not like we're the public, plus we have a mic and camera, hows my hair look?
@@philobetto5106 the media really thinks they are above everyone and the law. its unacceptable and has been for a long time

Y dont they report on the GOOD stuff that happens?
I'd say he sees him as a scum, hence feeling entitled to do whatever he wants. Crazy!
If he is telling the truth, he literally needs to get a lawyer and sue for defamation!!!
He might need a go fund me.
Might need some tiers for that fund the house tier,lawsuit tier etc.
agreed
such an American take
@@insanity-vr6vu what’s American about that?

All those dating sites are nothing but scam bots, gave up using them yrs ago for that very reason, never met a real person on them.
He has full grounds for a law suit if he has been scammed and aca has gone and portrayed him as being a creep he has grounds to sue them for defamation of character
Yeh sure he looks like he would have the cash in the bank to afford some justice...
@@paulmarshall248 looks like a slam dunk to me. Shine lawyers or one of the other ambulance chasers would do it on a no win no pay basis.
@paul marshall if can spend 7k on a chick he chatted with online, he can get a lawyer.
Yep, except he lives in a run down shack and has zero money…and Channel 9 has gazillions. So there’s that…
@@paulmarshall248he's a drug dealer.

@@aprilchiginsky7560 yea the article should have been entirely about the scam. Not about the other stuff.
stop watching a current affair and giving this absolute pieces of trash viewership.
If he is telling the truth they need to formally and publicly apologise and clear his name. This is slander. It is utterly discussing.
What are you discussing?
A news station admitting they're in the wrong? Good luck
@@akumabazooka9169 the video? the fuck did you just comment and not watch it?
ACA really needs to be stopped or at least held more accountable when they go too far like this. Like seriously how do they have the power to go into someone's house and film it. who ever gave them the power to do that needs to take it away again before they do more harm to another innocent person.
I want too see them try that crap in the US. Just seems too easy here for them to harass people at home.
I feel sorry for him cus it's absolutely wrong for people to show up to random peoples houses and start harassing them
Unless you have a camera crew - then it’s ok.
It's so stupid that a current affair can legally go to someone's house and video it like what the fk has the world come to
yea they doxed him, now anyone in that area of the city knows where he lives. There will be people who will turn up to his house and attack him, or burn his place down.
The media accuse him of stalking, yet they are stalking him, and have been told to get lost and continue to harass him.
Im not into all this social media BS, but if this guy is saying the truth then someone should start one of them fundme things and get him out of that shack just to stick it up all those yuppies nose.
If what the victim says is true, and he was contacted via email or text and can still access the messages, it'd be fairly easy to prove I'd think.
Seeing this host who btw should be unemployable, all I can say is:
TY for reminding me WHY we don't have or want a TV.
When fame and money of one's self is more valuable than the dignity and life of another... love is growing cold, people.
Poor guy was clearly the victim of a romance scam where he believed to be in a relationship with a famous beautiful woman. Sad.
Now imagine deepfake catfishing. You wouldnt know unless you meet. Then a chance being accused of a stalker and stalked by A Current Affair. What a weird and dangerous world is becoming.

The scammers got money out of him too. I feel bad for him. It happens to so many people.
this is literally just bullying. there is no excuse to try and destroy someone's life like that.
Australian journalism, what a treasure.
You can't call anything ACA do journalism, though. More like sensationalist rubbish.
At least your TV presenters aren't coming out gay to cover up the fact they've been noncing work experience boys for years.
@@yorkshirecoastadventures1657 good call!
That's got to be classed as harassment or slander or something by that TV presenter guy.
It would be classified as defamation, easy lawsuit.
i think a current affair found Sophie Monks drug dealer 🤣🤣
"How would he know these things? I didnt know this and I know things!" Ive never related to a statement so much
Like the poor nurse who hired a bike in the US after her 12 hr shift to get home ONLY for a group of 5 men try and take her bike… I hope she sued the sh!t outta every one of them! The news outlets, reporters and they guys doing this!
Legit, they said she was being racist but she literally has the transaction that she bought the bike lmao
Current affair: He showed up at her house 😯😡
Current affair: Steve shows up at his house 😆ahhahahahaa so funny.
Cheers Isaac , there’s nothing better than a beer and watching some awesome current affairs bashing
🍺🍺🤙
If this dude ends up taking his own life. Current affairs needs to be criminally charged.
🙄 if someone took their life behind anything like this then maybe they shouldnt be here. Thats rediculous, people have things way too easy nowdays to take their lives behind anything as minute as this.

8:37
I can hear little Buttsmarn in the background 😂
Note to self:
I can't watch Isaac's vids while my wife is asleep next to me;
I shook the bed a bit and my ribs are still sore...
Such a relief to see a balanced piece of reporting where facts were found and both sides were .. oh, wait .. neither side was interviewed.and no real facts were processed.
Raise the funds for this dude to sue them to get out of that place
This is really depressing from a current affair
Nice teamwork ya have there TNT👍🏼😂
If this was a women getting scammed, they would never, never, never dare to run such a story. Truly horrible behaviour by ACA
Poor guy. This is disgusting. I feel so sad for him and the fact that they keep giving him shit about his house is just awful.
if there ever was a case for defamation, this is it.
A report should drop and ask ACA all the damning questions and harass them like they do to so many...
They've completely humiliated the man.
Regardless of the situation, no one should be made a spectacle about what their house looks like on national TV, what's his house got to do with anything?
Hope he sues them👌
super happy to hear you and Claire's healthy baby in the background👍👍👍
Congratulations!!!!
Haha, can hear your baby losing it in the background at 11:09

He was obviously buying groceries before he got there🤷♀️😂

So everybody that does not watch this story to the end will think this guy is a stalker. The height of journalistic LAMENESS.
Someone should give that dude money for being embarrassed by tv.
Thank you for doing this. The guy was catfished. Catfished. Catfished. He was scammed. Nothing about this guy deserved mocking his home, his car, or harassing him. He was innocent. Naive. A bit like someone who may struggle socially.

Think this way, at least ACA does unintentional funny crap, the project is billions times worse.
God this is so fuckrd up but you have me in tears this morning. Kudos bro
That show should be offering him a public apology.
That's so sad for the dude he was played like that.

If I ever see a current affair walking around following someone I wanna go smash their camera and piss off before they can do shit
The Chasers War on Everything did some pretty good takes on A Current Affair and Today Tonight.
I was on ACA for being the ‘worst mother ever’ for a few videos of me walking my child and innuendo!
Poor guy.. this is just so sad 😞
Oh when I hear Issac talk about A current affair, I know it's going to be a good one!
6:28 BAHAHAHAHAHHA Boy thats gotta be a Blockbuster....CANT WAIT🤣🤣
How ironic that a current affair is accusing someone of doing the exact same thing that they're doing to him and many other people over the years. 🤔
That reporter.. like c'mon! Outrageous!!
Someone get this man a go fund me to fix his porch 😂
Can I just say you’ve had an excellent hook on this video? I really wanted to stay till the end and watch all so good job 👏
I'm an Aussie and don't watch A Current Affair! I'm way too busy watching paint dry😊
Damn...I think you nailed it. You should do go fund me and fix his porch. Injustice is funny when it isn't me. Also in a heart breaking moment he returned to take back the rose.
At least he's going to get a new house with the Defamation lawsuit
If I was that poor guy, I'd be saying "1 lawyer please", then sue them for that hatchet job. It was cruel enough he was catfished and scammed out of a shitload of cash, but for them to go and do this was just wrong of them.
Literally right before Isaac said "How would he know where her manager lived?" I paused and said the exact same thing.

The cigarette packet reference… gold.
At least Brian left a rose when he went to Sophie’s house, Steve didn’t leave Brian anything!
They doxxed a guy that got scammed, but he clearly isn’t too bright
The word you’re looking for is catfished
As a Canadian we don't have ACA .... but it's my guilty pleasure. I feel sorry for Brian regardless
With reporting like that no wonder ACA has the comments turned off on their YT page.
They never pick on rich people like this... they have good lawyers
Wonder if the Buttsmarn's had his fair share of stalkers yet
Sounds like a quick look of his msgs and chat history should have cleared this up. ACA should be sued into oblivion if it turns out this bloke was catfished. They only care because she is hot otherwise nobody would have cared.
