what would I do? for starters I would question the legitimacy of any witness protection program that let's me, an internet acquaintance, in on the witness protection cover story ... 🤯
That ain't how witness protection works
i could definitely see how someone could fall for this. one difficult thing about telling stories like this is that six years of communications are covered in an hour or two and no one listening has the kind of emotional investment you'd naturally gain over that time. in the same way that no-one joins a cult, no-one gets into an abusive relationship. they get into a relationship with someone nice who treats them well, shares their emotional vulnerabilities and who they enjoy talking to. it's only after this connection has been formed that abusers will shift their behaviour, knowing that their target will try to justify their actions and bring them in line with their image of the abuser. it is difficult to admit when you're wrong normally, even more so when the thing you believe is such an integral part of your identity and relationships. getting out of situations like this takes a tremendous amount of courage and self-belief, which often needs to be built up over time.
I will never understand and hopefully it stays that way, how do some people change their whole lives for someone they are not related to, in this case, someone you have never met!!
I think it was easy because it was actually someone she DID know -- her cousin. She knew her inside out -- what she likes, her hobbies, how she thinks.. Which made it easy to manipulate her
Unbelievable how the catfish can do this. In some cultures you don’t meet someone for years… and this can easily happen to anyone.
This is phenomenal content.
lol your sarcasm is delicious!!
@@Marcel_Audubon it is phenomenal content.
@@iamastrangeloop9204 doubling down on the sarcasm is doubling down on the delicious! 🤣🤣🤣
To quote Count Arthur Strong, the voice of all reason & sanity that he is, “You couldn’t make it up, eh” 😂😮😅
None of these people were really her friends or tuned in to her horrific choices at the time. If she was even telling anyone what she doing. Someone should’ve smacked her & taken her phone etc & reported, blocked, deleted all! Then gotten her some help! Good lord🙄
Fantasy … she is engaging in fantasy. He is playing a game.
I dont think I am ever that attached someone to give them. that power over me
And talk about the long con! In a way you can see how someone so lonely and or vulnerable would never even fathom someone would carry out such an elaborate long con! 😳🤯
But what about the voice? Whose voice did Simran use to talk as Bobby on the phone calls?
I'm sorry but no Kirat's just gullible
It is not Kirat with the fault. It is the perpetrator/con artist. Society always blames the victim
You can claim whatever you want but she fell for this obvious garbage and chose to delve deeper into it, she's an idiot go somewhere else with that. How do you listen to the fact she met the real person and he didn't know who she was or all the other red flags and how she ignored them and go "she did nothing wrong"? it's people like you that fall for this shit, She gaslit herself most of the way and you're defending it. Yes what that lady did was wrong but come on. @@leyakawamba8012
@@leyakawamba8012 I think there are certain ppl who will fall for this, and certain ppl who won’t.
This dude is an evil genius. Sick and twisted genius. One could teach a course, for good or evil in equal measure, on this case alone. Would take yrs to break it all down.EDIT WAIT WHAT? I just heard the very last bit & wish I hadn’t caught that. SPOILER ALERT AHEAD: “she” should be prosecuted?!?! 🫤🤔
