Sorry this happened to you but you. I was used as a mule like yourself it's a mess currently suffering Identity theft a d fraud they are out of control abd dangerous people
When I was attacked by two scammers I was well educated by Catfish. I had no idea how to Phone Florida from Sweden, stupid enough to survive. I had broken an arm and can not write much. The men on Facebook were always two. I saw them in military clothes. But one was working as a ship captain. Photoshoped faces so I did not see them. Since you had taught me how they work I knew and used Greta Thunberg s word: I draw the line here and know! After some days they stopped calling.
You know what I always find weird? When these women who have already handed over their life savings, took out loans, depleted every penny, then go on to say “I would be so thrilled if I found out he was real”. Sooooooo what if he was real? You’re telling me you want to continue this relationship where all you do is hand over money to a stranger? Yeah he’s real alright. A real scammer.
ikr they're pretty shallow, all that mattered to them was having a good looking boyfriend. It gives some insight into why some women stay with abusive partners.
I laughed at that part cause the ex husband is probably watching this going "LOL. Dodged a bullet by divorcing crazy." Even if she never gave him anything he definitely got the last laugh.
@@DaveDepilot-KFRG Things are all so different now. Sad but true. 😔 Dating is meeting someone then meeting them again. I don't know why they call this dating. I used to work for a group on Facebook to try and talk to women who did this. It was very difficult. Honestly you would think they had been brainwashed. I truly feel for them.
"My husband flipped because I never gave him a dime". Exactly what makes zero sense. These people refuse to help out friends and family, but don't have any problem whatsoever with handing over every penny they have to their name to a stranger they met on Facebook.
Yeah it is sad because it’s not about anyone else really, it’s about them, their ego, they are high on the narcissism spectrum and they are very easily charmed.
While I am completely against catfishing I don't think its correct to say "he took everything from me" she GAVE everything to him. Some people have no self control over their emotions. These women are in serious need of counselling.
The more videos I see like this, the more determined I become to spend the rest of my life being happily single, having as much fun as possible spending all my hard earned money on myself and if I have some spare I will give to charity and get real happiness
The solution is stop giving men money. I don’t care what man it is. A man is supposed to help you, not take away from you. And if the man is trying to use you, whether they’re online or in person, they will go away when they find out that they are not getting what they want. I can’t remember ever giving a man money. They’ve always gave it to me.
Okay, I have been married for 10 yrs to a lovely man I met online. We net in person after speaking for a few weeks. Be single and happy, but not out of fear love. Sending you positive vibes ❤
@@ammcd2012 I am glad to hear that. I have been in love. I was married for 33 years and sadly I lost my wife 4 years ago. I see absolutely no reason why I have to go on social media and dating sites just so I can find love again. If I do meet someone in real life and we click I might reconsider but for now I am quite enjoying my own company and stories like this actually put me off the whole online dating scene even more. I am happy it worked out for you though and my very best wishes for both of you
She never gave her partner a dime but willingly emptied out her bank accounts and sold all her possessions for an online, fake profile picture. Make it make sense!
and I thought she said her husband had died 5 years prior, but she spoke of him as he was still alive when she made that comment about the gift cards and her ex.
The scammer was never emotionally attached to the victim & could care less about how ‘hurt’ the victim is. The insults she is ready to hurl at the scammer will just roll off their backs & the will probably get a good chuckle out of it. Don’t waste your time trying to call these scammers out. They know what they did. Just move on & don’t be catfished again.
Blocking them and getting rid of social media is the only way of genuinely affecting them, as it means they lose their source of income. They simply move on to the next mark but it is about the only way of getting back at them. The victim is a mark. Pure and simple.
@@ChrisAndCats Yeah but we're talking about people who have already given them money. Insulting them, confronting them, does absolutely nothing. They just move on to the next mark. From the scammers that have been interviewed, I don't think most even see what they do as at all bad. As far as they know, if you're dumb enough to give them money, then that's on you. So trying to shame them with a big confrontation is entirely pointless. I suppose it may make the mark feel better but that's about it. It does not affect the scammer because the scammer is not emotionally involved, at all.
@@themessenger2455 it’s not that they don’t have a conscience…they see it as a business transaction and these people are clients. It’s like saying a prostitute has no conscience.
I feel like this woman will still continue to talk to these scammers. She is acting like she is going to shame them or tell them off like even care what she thinks.
I agree, she is going to burn up her phone talking to them, they are going to cry and beg her forgiveness and as soon as her ruffled feathers are all smoothed down they will start asking for money again. She should get out in her community, do some volunteer work or church work or start bowling or do something to have a support system so that she doesn't need to rely on the internet for friends
I agree with you. The scammers could care less what you have to say to them. They are heartless people. If you can drain somebody's account that just shows that you're not much of a person. It sticks and stones to them. They just laugh at you and go on.
@@littlerebel386 I actually think that these scammers actually *couldn't* care less, which is even worse. It reminds me of the times I tried to tell my very senior Mom that strangers (check out staff, for instance) do not care about her long chatting, especially if there is a line behind her.
My mother in law knew in heart that she was being scammed, she just wouldn't come out and admit it. She still sent him money faithfully every month. Why, when she knew it was a lie? Because he was texting her, calling her sweet names, listening to her. She was basically paying him to play make believe with her. The fantasies in her head were worth paying for. Loneliness was too much for her. After years of being scammed, she continues to this day. Different scammers, but same old bs.
i was also a victim of "romance scam" I keep sending money and nudes to that imposter not until I came across one of this video exposing romance scam, but already it's too late because I've lost $9700 to that scum. when i confronted him he threatened to blackmail me by posting my nude on the internet if I don't send him more money. honestly I was so frustrated 😞
but lucky me a friend recommended someone who helped me hack into his device, cleared all his data and also recovered $7100 from his wallet. why not send him a request if he can be of help. all this scammers need to be taught a lesson.
He didn’t TAKE anything. She GAVE them everything! You are able to start dating again. Stop giving away money and go out to dinner . Talked for months? That’s the problem. Don’t talk- go on a damn date. If he’s eluding you, why are you still talking to him?
@@louiscyfer6944 I don't think she's asking for much. I'm only on the first guy in the video so far but he is very obviously extremely obese, is elderly or at least very late middle-aged and isn't handsome facially. He doesn't have some glam job. I mean she isn't exactly reaching for the stars here. That dude is nobody's fantasy. I'm not being mean, just realistic.
I know right. If you willingly send money to someone it's not theft. Scamming may be a crime but I don't see it as theft. Men and women both fall for this shit. No offense but if someone that looks like a super model is into you it's a red flag. Insist on a video call, do an image reverse search on the photos. If they as little as insinuate they need money, just block. There are so many red flags. I'm lonely too but I'm not falling for any bitch ass scammers.
Im a guy and it just happened to me. It’s crazy and you think it’ll never happen to you but it’s more complex than that. They know how to do it and play with your emotions. Be careful never ever send money. I thought I was investing.
Thank you, thank you so much for your comment. And yes, please...EVERYONE, you can have these scammers as friends...FOREVER if you want, just don't pay them! I bet you they'll not want to have you as their friend once the see you won't pay them.
I agree, they are playing a game and you can too, chat and love chat and chat chat chat and if they dump you because you aren't sending money, move along, there are a lot more scammers where that one came from lol.
Just a thought here but perhaps Shelly would benefit from getting a couple of dogs for company. I've been alone for some 15 yrs by choice & always have my fur friends to keep me company. For human interaction I go to Church activities or to local town meetings. One on one relationships are not the only fulfilling types of relationships that humans can enjoy.
Yes, my Duke (a rescued 1 yr old Chihuahua and my 2 cats) Einstein and Gracie will NEVER demand money from me (and BTW men would do that are total losers anyway ) ,they'll never betray my confidence or steal from me. Sure it'd be nice if they'd help do the dishes once in awhile 😂 but they love me completely and unconditionally + just delight in spending time in my presence
Damn bae, I love you. I work on an oil rig in Nigeria. I’m a billionaire, send $100,000 quick so I can get my accounts released. I will get you Birkin bag & Jimmy Choo’s make sure you make it out to mr.onkukwe ok?
I actually feel bad for this woman because these men aren’t exactly Calvin Klein models. She’s not one of those delusional crazy shallow types. Looks like she’s telling the truth. Unfortunate but as long as she isn’t superficial she’ll find someone.
I feel bad for her because she's stupid, gullible, and sending thousands of dollars to strange men with little or no discretion. I'd hate to be this naive. The clue to the scammer isn't really that they look like Brad Pitt and you're a grandma, it's that *he is asking for money* .
These so-called victims are egomaniacal an emotionally immature I say that simply because all of those thousands of dollars that are spent on these men presumably for their own pleasure could be spent in charities all of the time she spends on the damn phone every day trying to get her ego stroked she could get out there and help people and stop complaining about being lonely I have zero respect
The scammers are getting more sophisticated, impersonating completely normal looking ppl and tailoring their age/looks to the person they are scamming!
Several of them are obnoxious, even blaming the people whose profile pictures were stolen. One of them thought the real Johnny Depp owed her something!
i remember that episode, the scammer pretending to be johnny said he will donate a painting to charity n that lady said the real johnny must refund her money n donate a painting to her charity
Jesus Christ is God of the Bible, please do not use his name in vain as a swear word, you are sinning against God . Please repent from your SINS for the KINGDOM of God is near.
@@Jesus_isLord_andGod --- Your "god of the Bible" is an extortionist. Who'd willingly enter into a relationship with anyone who threatened to have them tortured if they refused?
@@KerReeeee Do not misuse God's word. Jesus said repent for the kingdom of heaven is near. We are his followers who are commanded to preach the gospel so people can get saved. Without repentance, there is no forgiveness. For you to use that scripture trying to judge me for preaching God's word is foolish and I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ. Open rebuke is better than hidden love. Repent from your false faith in Christ and get saved and born again or you will perish and spend eternity in hell.
I dunno... at this point the relation is a consentual fee--based partnership.... the participating individuals are engaging in the relationship willingly and voluntarily at all times.
If you were looking for someone to go out to dinner with, then why would you choose someone who is telling you they live far away? I don't feel sorry for her.
Dang. I live alone, am 66, and I'm perfectly content. My grandmother used to say "WHO NEEDS A MAN?!" My sentiments exactly. Maybe this lady should go to a church or senior center, and find some activities to get involved with.
Yes! I'm 68 and my friends and I hike, kayak, inner tube, go out for a meal, stay in touch by text. I'm never lonely. When I don't feel like going out, no one's bugging me. When I DO wanna go out, I can almost always find a friend to go with me.
@@hellarekaibi we can't blame anyone for searching for love. However, when these women send these people money that they obviously don't know, along with thinking someone is in love with you when they don't know you, that's a problem.
Some people don’t like being alone. People are different, it’s okay to not want to be alone. I enjoy having a partner we’re a team and it makes life so much easier. I literally hate being home alone. Just the type of person I am. My dads been single since I was a baby. He enjoys his time. That’s the type of person he is.
Shes not going to shame them, they have no shame! She will just make them mad, they will insult her and come back later under a new profile name and picture. Shes already proven she can be manipulated so shes on their gullible list. Unless she gets her ass off of the internet this will never stop.
I would answer the first request from my “online lover” : “ I am suffering from a serious case of gold digging. If you’re asking me for money you are the WRONG man for me. GOODBYE”.
She gave STEAM gift cards? I’m sorry, I’m a middle aged woman and it’s not great not having someone around…But even I wouldn’t be that desperate to give anyone my money. This woman is delusional
"I'm lonely". "I don't have any friends down here." Learn to be comfortable with yourself, within yourself and foremost, for yourself. Learn hobbies, a new skill. And you can start by asking at stores of the things you are interested in. Fishing stores have workshops, hone supply companies have workshops, craft stores have workshops, heck you can even sit in many book stores and read right there. There's bound to be someone that you eventually strike up some sort of a conversation with. With time, those conversations become more frequent, more in depth and friendships are eventually made. Learn to entertain yourself! Don't expect others to do it for you. Don't use 'loneliness' as an excuse.
Unfortunately what you're saying is good but if I woman is in one of the scams she will not believe what you tell her. I have watched Dr Phil and there's many episodes where he has proven that the person that they were talking to was a scammer. Yet they still did not believe Dr Phil. I just think it's so sad that there's people in this world that are that lonely and desperate that they would believe a scammer. I even seen on Dr Phil where a doctor gave up almost all of his money I think it was like a million dollars and Dr Phil proved to him that the woman he was talking to was a scammer and you know what he didn't even believe Dr Phil.
Rebecca-Totally agree! Education and awareness are key as these social media sites are not doing one thing to help! There's is a tiny but powerful army of victims helping Anthony Dohrmann this fight from that very sentiment. And these folks advocatingforu.com/ are ALL in, even going to Congress! #strongertogether
No online dating has been amazing to connect people who wouldn’t have otherwise met. Just use your common sense and if they don’t want to video chat and then ask for money, run!
I met a wonderful man online. The sleezes are actually quite easy to pick out. You just have to follow a few rules like don’t be afraid of being rude when necessary and know what you’re looking for. Always make sure to meet in a public place and do it shortly after starting talking to them. If they can’t meet, move on. No big deal.
Or alternatively be on online dating sites but propose a meeting after a week or so of chatting and then walk away if meeting in the real world doesn’t materialise.
Thank you . I have a real problem when people call meeting and talking to someone online "dating" . Anyone can call me whatever they want because I don't feel sorry for her or anyone else who meets someone on a dating site and don't exercise simple common sense such as not send these people money . I hear people say that meeting people in person don't make a difference but I beg to differ. At least you can physically interact with a person in person, you can't do that with someone online. Wake up, get some self worth and go back to meeting people the old fashion way - IN PERSON!!!!
"My ex-husband flipped because i NEVER gave him a dime!" Laughs at her witty humor, even tho she couldn't help her husband but can give a stranger she has never spoken to or even met for thst matter a ass-load of money without blinking an eyeball! WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?????????
When she said "I don't have any friends down here, it's just me" that broke my heart. I'm a lot younger than her but I would love to be her friend. I hate people who take advantage of people's loneliness for their own sick financial gain!!!!!
Budgie; TRUST ME, these American White Females NONE want your friendship; they ALL Suffer from the Same illness. They all treat their Husbands Poorly. And None of them want Your friendship.
@@pm2886 Exactly. There are Plenty of Older American White females who also Need a good friend and they Can Keep each other from feeling lonely and give each other Support; but a Great majority of American females do Not want the company or to interact with other females. Go figure!!!
I'm Australian and when I was a teenager, we never used the term "dating", that was considered American. We said we were "going out" or "going around" with someone. That's so much more literal and accurate. You were physically with that person.
Wondering if people are actually men or women will be a thing of the past. Now it will be if they are actually a human being or a robot. That should scare everyone.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten “friend” requests on FB from guys on rigs or in the military. They usually don’t have any friends, or any “real” posts on their page. My advice is if you don’t know the guy and have no friends in common, delete, delete, delete!
Yeah it’s hard to watch. When they say things like “John Robert took my money” “does anybody know him, he’s a Sargent in the army…….” It’s like they still don’t f…ing get that there NEVER was a guy called John Robert.
Exactly. Watched an episode of Dr. Phil on scammers and the victim asked him, "how do they get other people's pictures "? The issue was completely out of her realm of thinking.
Though I love and appreciate this program, the presenters need to spend less time on the identity of the fake. Whether they are gay, or have businesses they showcase on Instagram is irrelevant once they are identified as victims too. What is relevant is that their photos have been stolen. Then we need footage of the scamming mills, bare rooms filled with Nigerian teens with laptops, following time-worn scripts. Show what these kids look like, every time. Or even show the syndicate bosses and how they live while the kids are still in sweatshops. Also, the techie language is too detailed for most uneducated people who would fall prey to scammers. VoIP, VCNs, Crypto even PhotoShop are not concepts the average person is familiar with. They are explained, but so quickly. It's too much of an information dump. It obscures the message that these people are actually being conned by a kid, or group of kids, somewhere halfway around the world. Continuing to refer to these interactions as "relationships" further clouds people's judgment and feeds their delusion. "How long has your relationship with Robert been going on?" It is not a relationship, it's a financial transaction buried in web of lies. Calling these scams "relationships" solidifies the fairytale that some meaningful exchange of the heart is taking place.
True. Even after being shown what is going on, they still want to meet the “real” person in the photo without realizing that person has no connection to any of this.
They are NOT lonely! If they were lonely they would seek out real friends (church, volunteering, hobbies, etc), try to spend more time family, get a pet, etc etc. This purely about sex and narcissism.
I get the feeling she’s not done with them. I think she wants to tell them off, explain feelings, try to make them feel bad, reason with them. Please just walk away
Yes that's what will happen. I wouldn't doubt it. As soon as she talks with them though, they will turn it all around and try to make her feel that she is mistaken, and that they aren't scammers, then they will just start scamming her again. These people need to just block them as soon as they realized they were scammed. They aren't going to get revenge on someone when they are all the way over in Nigeria, and they sure aren't going to be getting any of their money back either. So the best thing they can do is just cut off all contact.
I don't think she realizes that this was never about a friendship or romance to start with. She's acting as if a friend broke their promise, to be honest with her and now she wants to shame them. I know the crew doesn't want to be cruel but they should let her know she was dealing with some of the most despicable people on earth who don't give a shit about her. They don't care if you and your kids literally starve to death as long as they get the money.
This woman still doesn’t get it. She clearly cares a lot more about them than they do about her. They don’t care if she calls them out on the scam. They’ll suck her in again.
I just can't imagine falling for a scammer. I'm a woman in my 50s and get those scammers trying to talk to me all the time. I always delete, block and report them!! If any man asked me for money I would drop him like a hot potato lol ..
I’m watching this video at 8:25 am. I love watching all these videos no matter how painful they are. I learn some thing every time. I was scammed for a lot of money over a period of 20 months. He stole my heart. These people understand human nature really well. Today I learned about using two first names . He used Martin Arthur. I did use cat fish to find out he was really Steve Gern. I told him that and of course he had the perfect answer. I pray people run with their brains and gut feeling and not their good will and heart. I’m sad to say that my heart is bigger than my brain. I’m still recovering.
@@patriciariddle1602 By the victim's last words, she obviously has a religious belief, I'm sure there must be a church near her. They hold meetings etc. She's talking to a man in another country, thousands of miles away, even talking to a stranger in her own street would be better. And if this stranger was good looking and 30 years younger than you, why not pay for his company if you're that desperate.
@@pm2886 You're so right, unwilling and incapable, that's why they should have some form of treatment to enable them to live in the real world. Even after they're scammed, they go back time and time again, gluttons for punishment.
It made me disappointed when she said she never gave her husband (the person she spent real ife with) a dime, but will give a stranger on the other side of the world thousands of dollars. The worst part is that there's a few women that were covered on here that said the same thing SMH
I met my husband online, but not on a dating site. We were living together by the second year. We met after a few months. If they don't insist on meeting "their Queen" then forget about him!
Wdym she gave away her money and time while dating three men online sending money to all of them. She's basically just paying for thier attention at this rate. Who knows if three of them is just one person.
How can any of these people think they’re in a relationship when they never met the person. The show just reveals a whole lot of crazy. How did any of these people ever make it through life to get to where they are which is totally clueless
Look up love bombing and read about how it can alter your brain. She was essentially brainwashed. It can happen to anyone and they don't have to be "crazy" or "clueless".
If you have to buy or rent a guy, buy or rent a REAL guy...one you can touch and actually talk to, face to face...so you can actually get something out of it, you know...like REAL sex!
@@Melinda_RossOH yes they do, even the 2 bagger models. The Vacation Love Rats shown on BBC make out financially pretty well with these attention-starved ladies.
It breaks my heart to hear these women talk about how lonely they are. Never date someone who can't meet you..and obviously, never give anyone money!!!!
The cold hard truth is that most older men want younger women or they're looking for someone who will be a nurse with a purse. Ladies after a certain age build a network of female friends, you won't be lonely and your money will stay in the bank.
There is some truth to this, in that many older men pursue younger women. However not every man is interested or only interested in younger women, many men want age appropriate relationships because thankfully not every single man is a creep. It's not like a woman has an expiration date and she should give up on romance after a certain age because no one out there is interested. She should always have self respect though, and not allow herself to be used or abused. Being alone is better than dealing with that.
Question: Say you were married. And your partner asked to buy an expensive thing. Not in your budget. You would say: No not at this time. We will save for it. Then why would you say yes to stranger. This is your life saving. 1) you never give money to anyone. Not even a real boyfriend. 2) If your looking for love. Why in the world. Do you pay for it!
Or find a couple woman friends. We all like to go out to dinner, watch movie, hike, inner tube, kayak and watch movies together. I always have someone to talk to.
When you start to wonder why these men have such a hard time and are asking for money, then you have to know they're not real men! Real men who love you wouldn't be asking for your money!
People need to understand that dating has nothing to do with talking to someone online. That is not a date. I also blame this channel for continuing to call talking to a criminal online a "relationship" STOP! It's just reinforcing this woman's delusions. If she keeps doing things with the money that they're sending she's going to end up in prison. She is not going to stop I don't think, because she feels so important getting this negative attention. As you're describing who those men actually are she's nodding and grinning and is having a great time. No remorse for her errors.
Yeah...it's time they upped their game and changed their formula. It's doing nothing. But remember, the channel exists tonsellntheir Products, so inguess being soft is the key. They're not here to tell these people how stupid they are.
I just joined this channel. I will be 60 this weekend. My photo is to the left. I weigh 145 pounds and am 5’9. I am not smarter than anyone else. I am lonely too. No one chats me up in person at my age, as is normal. The professionals are too well mannered to mention one clue other than all the obvious ones… if the person is out of your league, they are not real. I know that’s harsh. These people somehow think they are still young, slim and beautiful. Attractive men and women have no need to chat up a stranger. I am saddened all the way around. Common sense is missing.
A golden rule I’ve learned is regardless of whether on line or in person - if a guy or woman starts the relationship asking for money they are a scammer. If by some chance they’re not - you can be assured you will be their cash-cow throughout the relationship. :(
if there’s one thing i’ve learned from online dating is that men want to meet you asap…sometimes the day that you match with them. if they won’t, they want your 🤑
Scams have been around since the dawn of man and will continue as long as someone is there for the picking. These individuals who are scammed continue on the path they want to believe something, therefore, pay to hear it.
If a beggar would have asked her for $500,00 to buy food and clothes she would deny him. But she gives all she haves and more to someone she is talking to, who she has never seen in reality. When you are talking to someone unless you have actually spend time with them. You are not in a relation you are just speaking to them. Why in the name of our Mercifully God would you give them your money/ lifesavings. She even said that she never gave her husband a dime. If you want to meet a man, go out partying, go to church or ask your friends or family to hook you up. If you meet a man in reality you will be able to make better choices. A real man will never ask you for money.
What's scary is that these all look like photos of men who would realistically ask her on a date. They look like photos of average middle aged men. Usually they use photos of a model.
@@robertrullo1688 If she is still sending the scammers money, even after she knows they are not real people, then they need the money more badly than she does. Clearly, she has more than she needs.
More women need to learn to be comfortable on their own! It seems a large number of these women have just come out of relationships, newly widowed etc. I get they are lonely, but learn to be content in your own company.., don’t go looking for someone else to give you a feeling of completion or validation.
I'm 82 and don't those women have brains? Watching these videos you learn a lot. If one is lonely get a cat not a scammer. Thank god I'm never lonely, still so much to do.

SOCIAL MEDIA is the devil.....
When I was attacked by two scammers I was well educated by Catfish. I had no idea how to Phone Florida from Sweden, stupid enough to survive. I had broken an arm and can not write much.
The men on Facebook were always two. I saw them in military clothes.
But one was working as a ship captain. Photoshoped faces so I did not see them.
Since you had taught me how they work I knew and used Greta Thunberg s word: I draw the line here and know! After some days they stopped calling.

Sooooooo what if he was real? You’re telling me you want to continue this relationship where all you do is hand over money to a stranger? Yeah he’s real alright. A real scammer.
Ha! I never thought of that before. So true
ikr they're pretty shallow, all that mattered to them was having a good looking boyfriend. It gives some insight into why some women stay with abusive partners.
Because they are simply unintelligent
There is an emotional payoff somehow then it turns into love addiction.
@@SueRosalie these guys were barely a 3
She didn't give husband a dime but willing to give strangers everything. ..says alot about her
Maybe he was a jerk lol
She probably didn't make any. This was all money from her husband from working and any life insurance he had.
Says a lot too.
Well it's her husband money
She's been used. It could happen to anyone. Why do the comments have to be so mean?
The way she laughed when she said she never gave her husband any money ! Disgusting
I mean, her husband should give her money since women are providers
That's the thing with these people. If a friend or family member was in need of money they would think twice before sparing a dime.
I laughed at that part cause the ex husband is probably watching this going "LOL. Dodged a bullet by divorcing crazy." Even if she never gave him anything he definitely got the last laugh.
For real. I give my hubby money (and permission to spend it) ALL THE TIME. No reason not to, because he rarely goes overboard with buying.
Truth
Dating actually means meeting people and going out with them in person.
Spot on! And they are NOT your 'lover'!
Right? I always wonder why they say "dating" if they don't go anywhere together.
You are just chatting/texting a person. Online dating is a contradiction in terms.
To some people dating means sending money to strangers you've never met.
@@DaveDepilot-KFRG
Things are all so different now. Sad but true. 😔
Dating is meeting someone then meeting them again.
I don't know why they call this dating.
I used to work for a group on Facebook to try and talk to women who did this. It was very difficult. Honestly you would think they had been brainwashed.
I truly feel for them.
“I met Robert a year ago”
No you didn’t , you never met Robert 🤔
Some of them are so incredible actors. I felt I met my scammer but he didn't get one red cent.
Just look at her.😮
Meeting someone is not the same as Meeting Someone in Person. You can meet people in many different ways. Blind people are also able meet people.
It’s 2024 not 1964, maybe someone should tell you… people meet other people online all the time now.
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
If a man start asking for money, dump him immediately!
Yup, block. When a guy asks me about my personal info / situation in the intro conversation and I feel interviewed I'm gone with the wind.
Or women.
@@funkmonk5921 Yes goes both ways.

Hhmm…not nice!
Literally
This victim is not fully grasping the situation. I think she's still vulnerable to future love scams.
Ssdly
Agree
She’s giggling, even though she’s participating in money laundering….think woman, think! 🤷♀️
They will continue to play her
Ya THINK 🤔?????
She said “Robert screwed up” her bank account. No, you allowed him to “screw up” your account.
if it were me-once they filled up my bank acc. i 'd go down & close it out-then block him!
"My husband flipped because I never gave him a dime". Exactly what makes zero sense. These people refuse to help out friends and family, but don't have any problem whatsoever with handing over every penny they have to their name to a stranger they met on Facebook.
Yeah it is sad because it’s not about anyone else really, it’s about them, their ego, they are high on the narcissism spectrum and they are very easily charmed.
Girl you don't date three men at the Same time and give all of them money lol
Like, tf? 😂😂😂
Painful watch 😂
Like female Winnie the Pooh said in another episode, “desperate people do desperate things”. This lady is just incredibly lonely.
Makes no damn sense
hahahahah this is insane
She acts like giving her money to scammers is so much better than to her ex husband. Even laughed about it, just nuts!
And laughed about it. She's insane
That's why he became an Ex-husband 😢
She needs a new brain.
While I am completely against catfishing I don't think its correct to say "he took everything from me" she GAVE everything to him. Some people have no self control over their emotions. These women are in serious need of counselling.
Well said!
Good point 👍👍

@@SweetUniverse😂
I cant fathom how some women can even fall for this crap. But I do think that the ones that do have very low self esteem which is so sad.
The more videos I see like this, the more determined I become to spend the rest of my life being happily single, having as much fun as possible spending all my hard earned money on myself and if I have some spare I will give to charity and get real happiness
Best plan 😊😊
@@magdaraghassi2224 thanks 😁
The solution is stop giving men money. I don’t care what man it is. A man is supposed to help you, not take away from you. And if the man is trying to use you, whether they’re online or in person, they will go away when they find out that they are not getting what they want. I can’t remember ever giving a man money. They’ve always gave it to me.
Okay, I have been married for 10 yrs to a lovely man I met online. We net in person after speaking for a few weeks. Be single and happy, but not out of fear love. Sending you positive vibes ❤
@@ammcd2012 I am glad to hear that. I have been in love. I was married for 33 years and sadly I lost my wife 4 years ago. I see absolutely no reason why I have to go on social media and dating sites just so I can find love again. If I do meet someone in real life and we click I might reconsider but for now I am quite enjoying my own company and stories like this actually put me off the whole online dating scene even more. I am happy it worked out for you though and my very best wishes for both of you
Being lonely is better than being lonely and broke!!
She never gave her partner a dime but willingly emptied out her bank accounts and sold all her possessions for an online, fake profile picture. Make it make sense!
Ik I found it disgusting 🤢
She mentioned ex-husband not her husband who died
It makes no sense that a human would think trading cash money for non cash money, isnt a scam.
Yes, gift cards are a scam.
never gave her husband money but gave three men that she never met in her life thousands of dollars 👍🏾
and I thought she said her husband had died 5 years prior, but she spoke of him as he was still alive when she made that comment about the gift cards and her ex.
@@kerrywillis4794I wondered as well. And it was husband in there present sense. 🤔 is she still married and talking to three guys?
The scammer was never emotionally attached to the victim & could care less about how ‘hurt’ the victim is. The insults she is ready to hurl at the scammer will just roll off their backs & the will probably get a good chuckle out of it. Don’t waste your time trying to call these scammers out. They know what they did. Just move on & don’t be catfished again.
Blocking them and getting rid of social media is the only way of genuinely affecting them, as it means they lose their source of income.
They simply move on to the next mark but it is about the only way of getting back at them.
The victim is a mark. Pure and simple.
The "scammer" is a team of people working in a call centre
@@bobbyhillthuglifemore likely an internet cafe or someone’s home
@@Nocturnaluxor stringing them along then never sending anything. If you're strong enough not to cave.
@@ChrisAndCats Yeah but we're talking about people who have already given them money. Insulting them, confronting them, does absolutely nothing. They just move on to the next mark.
From the scammers that have been interviewed, I don't think most even see what they do as at all bad. As far as they know, if you're dumb enough to give them money, then that's on you. So trying to shame them with a big confrontation is entirely pointless. I suppose it may make the mark feel better but that's about it. It does not affect the scammer because the scammer is not emotionally involved, at all.
It kills me when they feel like they HAVE to let the scammer know that they know. 🗣 SCAMMERS DON'T GIVE AF! They just move on to the next one.
Yep! Also, often the same scammer will make contact again in the future, and the cycle starts again.
For real tho..they don't give two hoots. I think the just wanna hold on hoping the guilt will change them. These people have no conscience.
@@themessenger2455 it’s not that they don’t have a conscience…they see it as a business transaction and these people are clients. It’s like saying a prostitute has no conscience.
Actually this is wot I thought
Right? They act like if they call them out as a scammer, they’ll somehow be sorry and return all the money 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I feel like this woman will still continue to talk to these scammers. She is acting like she is going to shame them or tell them off like even care what she thinks.
I agree, she is going to burn up her phone talking to them, they are going to cry and beg her forgiveness and as soon as her ruffled feathers are all smoothed down they will start asking for money again. She should get out in her community, do some volunteer work or church work or start bowling or do something to have a support system so that she doesn't need to rely on the internet for friends
Sad😰😰😰
I agree with you. The scammers could care less what you have to say to them. They are heartless people. If you can drain somebody's account that just shows that you're not much of a person. It sticks and stones to them. They just laugh at you and go on.
@@littlerebel386 I actually think that these scammers actually *couldn't* care less, which is even worse. It reminds me of the times I tried to tell my very senior Mom that strangers (check out staff, for instance) do not care about her long chatting, especially if there is a line behind her.
Like they care how she feels. Once they know she’s on to them they’ll ghost her immediately.
My mother in law knew in heart that she was being scammed, she just wouldn't come out and admit it. She still sent him money faithfully every month. Why, when she knew it was a lie? Because he was texting her, calling her sweet names, listening to her. She was basically paying him to play make believe with her. The fantasies in her head were worth paying for. Loneliness was too much for her. After years of being scammed, she continues to this day. Different scammers, but same old bs.
I met him on lnstagram

i was also a victim of "romance scam" I keep sending money and nudes to that imposter not until I came across one of this video exposing romance scam, but already it's too late because I've lost $9700 to that scum. when i confronted him he threatened to blackmail me by posting my nude on the internet if I don't send him more money. honestly I was so frustrated 😞
but lucky me a friend recommended someone who helped me hack into his device, cleared all his data and also recovered $7100 from his wallet. why not send him a request if he can be of help. all this scammers need to be taught a lesson.
He didn’t TAKE anything. She GAVE them everything! You are able to start dating again. Stop giving away money and go out to dinner . Talked for months? That’s the problem. Don’t talk- go on a damn date. If he’s eluding you, why are you still talking to him?
Yep, totally right, agree with you 100%!
these are old, unattractive, desperate women living in the boonies. their prospects are really bad. of course they will fall for fantasies.
@@louiscyfer6944 I don't think she's asking for much. I'm only on the first guy in the video so far but he is very obviously extremely obese, is elderly or at least very late middle-aged and isn't handsome facially. He doesn't have some glam job. I mean she isn't exactly reaching for the stars here. That dude is nobody's fantasy. I'm not being mean, just realistic.
I know right. If you willingly send money to someone it's not theft. Scamming may be a crime but I don't see it as theft. Men and women both fall for this shit. No offense but if someone that looks like a super model is into you it's a red flag. Insist on a video call, do an image reverse search on the photos. If they as little as insinuate they need money, just block. There are so many red flags. I'm lonely too but I'm not falling for any bitch ass scammers.
Im a guy and it just happened to me. It’s crazy and you think it’ll never happen to you but it’s more complex than that. They know how to do it and play with your emotions. Be careful never ever send money. I thought I was investing.
The first truth bomb that she needs to digest is that he (the scammer) took absolutely nothing from her. SHE WILLINGLY GAVE it her him. SMH
THE KEY IS DON'T SEND MONEY...
if lonely... chat, love, talk with them for ever!
but if there is no money, the scammers will stop scam...simple!
Thank you, thank you so much for your comment. And yes, please...EVERYONE, you can have these scammers as friends...FOREVER if you want, just don't pay them! I bet you they'll not want to have you as their friend once the see you won't pay them.
There it is Money kills everything
She should've pocketed the original cash and called it a day and blocked him.
I agree, they are playing a game and you can too, chat and love chat and chat chat chat and if they dump you because you aren't sending money, move along, there are a lot more scammers where that one came from lol.
@@richardmilliken8705 agreed BUT keep in mind the cash was sent to her. as in they had her address. that’s a very VERY dangerous game.
Just a thought here but perhaps Shelly would benefit from getting a couple of dogs for company. I've been alone for some 15 yrs by choice & always have my fur friends to keep me company. For human interaction I go to Church activities or to local town meetings. One on one relationships are not the only fulfilling types of relationships that humans can enjoy.
I've been alone alot longer, but your right, get a fur baby, they always good for a laugh and don't ask for money, they love unconditionally

@@judiclayton4409 exactly
I feel bad for her because she's stupid, gullible, and sending thousands of dollars to strange men with little or no discretion. I'd hate to be this naive.
The clue to the scammer isn't really that they look like Brad Pitt and you're a grandma, it's that *he is asking for money* .
These so-called victims are egomaniacal an emotionally immature I say that simply because all of those thousands of dollars that are spent on these men presumably for their own pleasure could be spent in charities all of the time she spends on the damn phone every day trying to get her ego stroked she could get out there and help people and stop complaining about being lonely I have zero respect
The scammers are getting more sophisticated, impersonating completely normal looking ppl and tailoring their age/looks to the person they are scamming!
I love how these men and women constantly blame everyone but themselves for getting scammed
Several of them are obnoxious, even blaming the people whose profile pictures were stolen. One of them thought the real Johnny Depp owed her something!

That's what I think about every one of these stories, but it just keeps happening.
This comes from a combo of lack of self esteem and loneliness, and the scammers will keep on scamming.
No kidding, totally agree!
She literally can't be. She's not. She's paying for attention.

If you were looking for someone to go out to dinner with, then why would you choose someone who is telling you they live far away? I don't feel sorry for her.

Dang. I live alone, am 66, and I'm perfectly content. My grandmother used to say "WHO NEEDS A MAN?!" My sentiments exactly. Maybe this lady should go to a church or senior center, and find some activities to get involved with.
Yes! I'm 68 and my friends and I hike, kayak, inner tube, go out for a meal, stay in touch by text. I'm never lonely. When I don't feel like going out, no one's bugging me. When I DO wanna go out, I can almost always find a friend to go with me.

@@hellarekaibi we can't blame anyone for searching for love. However, when these women send these people money that they obviously don't know, along with thinking someone is in love with you when they don't know you, that's a problem.

Shes not going to shame them, they have no shame! She will just make them mad, they will insult her and come back later under a new profile name and picture. Shes already proven she can be manipulated so shes on their gullible list. Unless she gets her ass off of the internet this will never stop.
She’s so stupid because the “men” she’s shaming are victims of identity theft. She’s not even shaming the actual scammers
It stops when the victim is broke and homeless.

She gave STEAM gift cards? I’m sorry, I’m a middle aged woman and it’s not great not having someone around…But even I wouldn’t be that desperate to give anyone my money. This woman is delusional
"I'm lonely". "I don't have any friends down here." Learn to be comfortable with yourself, within yourself and foremost, for yourself. Learn hobbies, a new skill. And you can start by asking at stores of the things you are interested in. Fishing stores have workshops, hone supply companies have workshops, craft stores have workshops, heck you can even sit in many book stores and read right there. There's bound to be someone that you eventually strike up some sort of a conversation with. With time, those conversations become more frequent, more in depth and friendships are eventually made. Learn to entertain yourself! Don't expect others to do it for you. Don't use 'loneliness' as an excuse.
I've learned to enjoy my own company again. Spending time with other people is a bonus but not a necessity
Only selfish people are loney
I only meet psychopaths,i think i’m too kind.
Some people have no interests to pursue in life hence go online for romance and keep getting scammed. Empty shells.
All victims should become friends like sisters and help warn others to not fall victim.
Great Idea!!
@@mariacleto1502 Thanks
But they want online man
Unfortunately what you're saying is good but if I woman is in one of the scams she will not believe what you tell her. I have watched Dr Phil and there's many episodes where he has proven that the person that they were talking to was a scammer. Yet they still did not believe Dr Phil. I just think it's so sad that there's people in this world that are that lonely and desperate that they would believe a scammer. I even seen on Dr Phil where a doctor gave up almost all of his money I think it was like a million dollars and Dr Phil proved to him that the woman he was talking to was a scammer and you know what he didn't even believe Dr Phil.

Scammers have ruined online dating forever, meet someone in person it's the best way
No online dating has been amazing to connect people who wouldn’t have otherwise met. Just use your common sense and if they don’t want to video chat and then ask for money, run!
No all you need to do is meet the person in person within 1 week of meeting them online. If you can’t make that happen move to the next one.
I met a wonderful man online. The sleezes are actually quite easy to pick out. You just have to follow a few rules like don’t be afraid of being rude when necessary and know what you’re looking for. Always make sure to meet in a public place and do it shortly after starting talking to them. If they can’t meet, move on. No big deal.
Or alternatively be on online dating sites but propose a meeting after a week or so of chatting and then walk away if meeting in the real world doesn’t materialise.
Not really. I mean if you're not a complete moron and can recognize red flags and Nigerian accents, you should be fine🤷🏻♀️
You are never dating people online; you are solely corresponding with them.
Not even money on dating sites. I've been physically catfished . No one is who they say are.
Good way to put it!
Thank you . I have a real problem when people call meeting and talking to someone online "dating" . Anyone can call me whatever they want because I don't feel sorry for her or anyone else who meets someone on a dating site and don't exercise simple common sense such as not send these people money . I hear people say that meeting people in person don't make a difference but I beg to differ. At least you can physically interact with a person in person, you can't do that with someone online. Wake up, get some self worth and go back to meeting people the old fashion way - IN PERSON!!!!
Or employing them....
Yes. They are a (very expensive) penpal. Nothing more.
Even meeting people in person is risky. Guard your heart.
Be selective.
"My ex-husband flipped because i NEVER gave him a dime!" Laughs at her witty humor, even tho she couldn't help her husband but can give a stranger she has never spoken to or even met for thst matter a ass-load of money without blinking an eyeball! WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?????????

The chances of meeting an actual oil rig guy online are about as high as getting struck by lighting.
Imagine how amazing these scams are going to be with AI
I know! It’s very scary! People will be sharing less and less on social media. At least regular people will stop sharing as much.
Wondering if people are actually men or women will be a thing of the past. Now it will be if they are actually a human being or a robot. That should scare everyone.
It’s already started
This woman owns more steam gift cards than the children of an entire school district.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten “friend” requests on FB from guys on rigs or in the military. They usually don’t have any friends, or any “real” posts on their page. My advice is if you don’t know the guy and have no friends in common, delete, delete, delete!
Excatly they go on grief groups say the same send you requests and you know straight away they are fake
Absolutely
Same. No friends. Only a few photos. Usually on a yacht or in the military. Named James Christopher. Hello Dear.
They have pics of puppies or flowers. 😂
Yep, me too
Many of those scam "victims" don't even understand the concept of using another person's image in a fake dating profile.
Yeah it’s hard to watch. When they say things like “John Robert took my money” “does anybody know him, he’s a Sargent in the army…….” It’s like they still don’t f…ing get that there NEVER was a guy called John Robert.
I think they do when they are told about it but wouldn’t have imagined such a thing before.
Exactly. Watched an episode of Dr. Phil on scammers and the victim asked him, "how do they get other people's pictures "? The issue was completely out of her realm of thinking.
Though I love and appreciate this program, the presenters need to spend less time on the identity of the fake. Whether they are gay, or have businesses they showcase on Instagram is irrelevant once they are identified as victims too. What is relevant is that their photos have been stolen. Then we need footage of the scamming mills, bare rooms filled with Nigerian teens with laptops, following time-worn scripts. Show what these kids look like, every time. Or even show the syndicate bosses and how they live while the kids are still in sweatshops.
Also, the techie language is too detailed for most uneducated people who would fall prey to scammers. VoIP, VCNs, Crypto even PhotoShop are not concepts the average person is familiar with. They are explained, but so quickly. It's too much of an information dump. It obscures the message that these people are actually being conned by a kid, or group of kids, somewhere halfway around the world.
Continuing to refer to these interactions as "relationships" further clouds people's judgment and feeds their delusion. "How long has your relationship with Robert been going on?" It is not a relationship, it's a financial transaction buried in web of lies. Calling these scams "relationships" solidifies the fairytale that some meaningful exchange of the heart is taking place.
True.
Even after being shown what is going on, they still want to meet the “real” person in the photo without realizing that person has no connection to any of this.
Yep if they can't produce a photo of themselves holding a local newspaper with today's date within 15 minutes....send them packing!
Lol that won't work. I'm guessing you've been scammed before.
Not everyone has a newspaper on hand.
Photoshopping experts can make that happen. If they can't video chat w u, dump them
A good man doesn't ask a woman for money.
I'm so glad you have Drew doing the voiceovers now. The voiceover lady in this video has an insanely high voice.
Drew has a very soothing voice I find
The woman who did the voiceover work for this video sounded audio-wise like fingernails scratching across a blackboard! 😩😩
I would never sell nothing for any man, hell no that's so crazy
These poor people so lonely and vulnerable
They are NOT lonely! If they were lonely they would seek out real friends (church, volunteering, hobbies, etc), try to spend more time family, get a pet, etc etc. This purely about sex and narcissism.
There's something a bit off about her reaction. What's with the smiling?? I reckon she will continue to talk with these scammers.
She thinks she now has leverage over these guys. But they don't give a damn.
Yes, she seems to like the attention
She is online now!😮
I get the feeling she’s not done with them. I think she wants to tell them off, explain feelings, try to make them feel bad, reason with them. Please just walk away
Yes that's what will happen. I wouldn't doubt it. As soon as she talks with them though, they will turn it all around and try to make her feel that she is mistaken, and that they aren't scammers, then they will just start scamming her again. These people need to just block them as soon as they realized they were scammed. They aren't going to get revenge on someone when they are all the way over in Nigeria, and they sure aren't going to be getting any of their money back either. So the best thing they can do is just cut off all contact.
They don't care. That's the point.
Only thing you can do is scambaiting.
I don't think she realizes that this was never about a friendship or romance to start with. She's acting as if a friend broke their promise, to be honest with her and now she wants to shame them. I know the crew doesn't want to be cruel but they should let her know she was dealing with some of the most despicable people on earth who don't give a shit about her. They don't care if you and your kids literally starve to death as long as they get the money.
I agree 💯 with you. Bad idea just move on, and hopefully have learned something. But I'm not thinking so.
The second anyone asks for money, block and delete. It'll always end badly .
Thanks for explaining to people how victims are turned into mules for money laundering purposes.

I just can't imagine falling for a scammer. I'm a woman in my 50s and get those scammers trying to talk to me all the time. I always delete, block and report them!! If any man asked me for money I would drop him like a hot potato lol ..
yep anyone middle aged middle class will get fb friend requests from fake profiles. They're always obvious and laughable and I block them immediately.
I’m watching this video at 8:25 am. I love watching all these videos no matter how painful they are. I learn some thing every time. I was scammed for a lot of money over a period of 20 months. He stole my heart. These people understand human nature really well. Today I learned about using two first names . He used Martin Arthur. I did use cat fish to find out he was really Steve Gern. I told him that and of course he had the perfect answer. I pray people run with their brains and gut feeling and not their good will and heart. I’m sad to say that my heart is bigger than my brain. I’m still recovering.
It's good you found this channel! The more you know, the safer you'll be.
Desperation leads to sometimes losing your common sense😔
This is actually true for all kinds of situations in life.
I very much doubt she had much to lose.
There's a saying: Desperate people do desperate things.
Desperation and common sense? Oxymoron..
If your lonely join a social club and meet people in real life
better to be lonely than lonely and broke.
You say join a social club I've never heard of it I know how she feels I was scammed by two guys but it's hard not to talk to them when your lonely
@@patriciariddle1602 By the victim's last words, she obviously has a religious belief, I'm sure there must be a church near her. They hold meetings etc. She's talking to a man in another country, thousands of miles away, even talking to a stranger in her own street would be better. And if this stranger was good looking and 30 years younger than you, why not pay for his company if you're that desperate.
These kinds of people are very often quite unwilling to form and create friendships.
@@pm2886 You're so right, unwilling and incapable, that's why they should have some form of treatment to enable them to live in the real world. Even after they're scammed, they go back time and time again, gluttons for punishment.
Every time they send me a friend request I blocked or report them!
I love how she says it isn't hard to let go, when she's JUST told us that she watched the scammer screw up, but still refused to let go.
Came to say this.
She’s trying to hold onto some of her pride by acting so tough at the end. It’s clear she’s not done yet.
It made me disappointed when she said she never gave her husband (the person she spent real ife with) a dime, but will give a stranger on the other side of the world thousands of dollars. The worst part is that there's a few women that were covered on here that said the same thing SMH
And laughed....she deserves what happened
She did say ex-husband so they may not have had a good relationship. I don’t think she was talking about the one who died.
Time is the most precious thing we have! He not only used her to launder money, he waisted 5 years of her life 😬 Be careful out there ❣️
I met my husband online, but not on a dating site. We were living together by the second year. We met after a few months. If they don't insist on meeting "their Queen" then forget about him!
She wasted 5 years of her life.
Wdym she gave away her money and time while dating three men online sending money to all of them.
She's basically just paying for thier attention at this rate. Who knows if three of them is just one person.
He is laughing all the way to the bank 😂😂
How can any of these people think they’re in a relationship when they never met the person. The show just reveals a whole lot of crazy. How did any of these people ever make it through life to get to where they are which is totally clueless
I have no idea, love your comment! I just listen to their stories and I wonder how the hell they got to where they are now, I really do!
I think it's possible to have a relationship with someone you haven't met. Just don't pay for it!
Look up love bombing and read about how it can alter your brain. She was essentially brainwashed. It can happen to anyone and they don't have to be "crazy" or "clueless".
100%
Right on
If you have to buy a guy, what do you need him for?
If you have to buy or rent a guy, buy or rent a REAL guy...one you can touch and actually talk to, face to face...so you can actually get something out of it, you know...like REAL sex!
@@bratzboyz no real guy will have them, not even for money
@@Melinda_Ross Totally agree, I hate to say it but yeah, so true!
@@Melinda_RossOH yes they do, even the 2 bagger models. The Vacation Love Rats shown on BBC make out financially pretty well with these attention-starved ladies.
Watching these stories makes me think that I'm in the wrong business!
It breaks my heart to hear these women talk about how lonely they are. Never date someone who can't meet you..and obviously, never give anyone money!!!!
So sad. These kill my soul
that crazy lady dosent even look embarrassed or ashamed or mad or surprised! wth!
The cold hard truth is that most older men want younger women or they're looking for someone who will be a nurse with a purse. Ladies after a certain age build a network of female friends, you won't be lonely and your money will stay in the bank.
Great advice
Absolutely, well said!
You are so right!
There is some truth to this, in that many older men pursue younger women. However not every man is interested or only interested in younger women, many men want age appropriate relationships because thankfully not every single man is a creep. It's not like a woman has an expiration date and she should give up on romance after a certain age because no one out there is interested. She should always have self respect though, and not allow herself to be used or abused. Being alone is better than dealing with that.
That is true...especially when you see the real life wife of the man whose photos were being used by scammers.
I can't even watch, the stupidity is. Too much for my brain😰😰😡
Mine too
Question: Say you were married. And your partner asked to buy an expensive thing. Not in your budget. You would say: No not at this time. We will save for it. Then why would you say yes to stranger. This is your life saving. 1) you never give money to anyone. Not even a real boyfriend. 2) If your looking for love. Why in the world. Do you pay for it!
It’s a mystery and I’ve often wondered that myself
She is talking like she is proud to be giving away her monies.. WTH! She said she is lonely, but yet won’t meet actual men in real life…
Oh my god! Really lady? Stop that online crap! This is these men’s job! I really hope you find a real man and he’s out there for you!
Or find a couple woman friends. We all like to go out to dinner, watch movie, hike, inner tube, kayak and watch movies together. I always have someone to talk to.
If you want trust worthy companionship, get a pet. If you want more, then a vibrator is cheaper and more fun
But that takes effort to go out
If I had someone sending me money, I'd keep it. lol
I know right...me too. I might just start now. All I need is a few fake photos and to call everyone "baby" lol
What is wrong with these people????
stup1dity
Greedy also.
Vanity, and a desire to buy younger meat.
I don't know, I swear to god, I have no idea what they are thinking!
I pray for them to have wisdom💖
Anyone who asks you for money isn’t a friend or lover. Never lend, never borrow.
When you start to wonder why these men have such a hard time and are asking for money, then you have to know they're not real men! Real men who love you wouldn't be asking for your money!
One of the oldest scams and people are still falling for it ,I don't know what to say
People need to understand that dating has nothing to do with talking to someone online. That is not a date. I also blame this channel for continuing to call talking to a criminal online a "relationship" STOP! It's just reinforcing this woman's delusions. If she keeps doing things with the money that they're sending she's going to end up in prison. She is not going to stop I don't think, because she feels so important getting this negative attention. As you're describing who those men actually are she's nodding and grinning and is having a great time. No remorse for her errors.
Great analysis!!!!!!!!
So called Dating online is a total joke
@@reginaking2150 and apparently sometimes a tragedy as well. 😝
Yeah...it's time they upped their game and changed their formula. It's doing nothing. But remember, the channel exists tonsellntheir Products, so inguess being soft is the key. They're not here to tell these people how stupid they are.
I agree! They always say, how long have you been dating this person online? It IS NOT DATING!!!!!
I just joined this channel. I will be 60 this weekend. My photo is to the left. I weigh 145 pounds and am 5’9. I am not smarter than anyone else. I am lonely too. No one chats me up in person at my age, as is normal.
The professionals are too well mannered to mention one clue other than all the obvious ones… if the person is out of your league, they are not real. I know that’s harsh. These people somehow think they are still young, slim and beautiful. Attractive men and women have no need to chat up a stranger. I am saddened all the way around. Common sense is missing.
@annieseaside Nice looking profile picture If I was younger and not married I would cat with you.
You’ll probably meet a man a man in person who thinks you’re awesome!
A golden rule I’ve learned is regardless of whether on line or in person - if a guy or woman starts the relationship asking for money they are a scammer. If by some chance they’re not - you can be assured you will be their cash-cow throughout the relationship. :(
yes asking for money is an undesirable trait anyway
if there’s one thing i’ve learned from online dating is that men want to meet you asap…sometimes the day that you match with them. if they won’t, they want your 🤑
None of these guys are on oil rigs. That’s a popular one for scammers. A lady I know got taken for thousands this type of hoax.
I met one on FB dating. Wanted to hit me up for $30K "loan." He failed. He cried and sent me a photo of him in tears. Oy!
OMGosh these woman are so desperate…. Very sad.
Scams have been around since the dawn of man and will continue as long as someone is there for the picking. These individuals who are scammed continue on the path they want to believe something, therefore, pay to hear it.
If a beggar would have asked her for $500,00 to buy food and clothes she would deny him. But she gives all she haves and more to someone she is talking to, who she has never seen in reality. When you are talking to someone unless you have actually spend time with them. You are not in a relation you are just speaking to them. Why in the name of our Mercifully God would you give them your money/ lifesavings. She even said that she never gave her husband a dime. If you want to meet a man, go out partying, go to church or ask your friends or family to hook you up. If you meet a man in reality you will be able to make better choices. A real man will never ask you for money.
What's scary is that these all look like photos of men who would realistically ask her on a date. They look like photos of average middle aged men. Usually they use photos of a model.
Very true
If she is still sending them money, then it's money she doesn't need. Let them have it.
Um what?
Yes you are 100% rigth!!
@@robertrullo1688 If she is still sending the scammers money, even after she knows they are not real people, then they need the money more badly than she does. Clearly, she has more than she needs.
@@lauragriffin6512 clearly she isnt responsible enough to handle her money, why not give it to someone who might use it better?!
@@teem9010 Well...yeah, she is doing that, the scammers are using it better lol!
More women need to learn to be comfortable on their own! It seems a large number of these women have just come out of relationships, newly widowed etc. I get they are lonely, but learn to be content in your own company.., don’t go looking for someone else to give you a feeling of completion or validation.
Yes, so totally true. Well said!
Love and friendship does not cost money 💰.
Can't Buy Me Love says The Beatles.
I'm 82 and don't those women have brains?
Watching these videos you learn a lot. If one is lonely get a cat not a scammer.
Thank god I'm never lonely, still so much to do.
