CHECK OUT OUR NEWEST EPISODE: th-cam.com/video/vK0KUVrw5Is/w-d-xo.html we help a man who believes he’s in contact with his celeb crush, actress Jennifer Aniston😳
My dad passed in Oct, in Nov she said she met a gut online, at 1st we were happy for her. But, then my 18 yr old daughter caught her taking pics of visa gift cards and said she was sending them to him. Here we are after numerous fights, my mom trying to stab me after I caught her sending more money, I have receipts for about 8,000 at this point. That I know of. We have screenshots of the conversations of theirs as proof of the transactions.
We googled his picture, it came up as a singer in Spain, a jorge sanagustin, though the guy she says he really is and matches the pictures goes by a "Levy Adam" with multiple fb profiles
Fast forward, he has said he was going to come see her multiple times. Hasn't shown. Currently today, she says he's stuck in the airport after flight delays. She just admitted she has only 200 in her acct and now we can't pay the mortgage or any bills, I moved
Happy Valentine's Day all you Kings and Queens. Have you eaten today? You're all the most beautiful people I've ever seen while I'm out here on my oil rig.
I work Customer Service and have had people randomly give their card info, mother's maiden name/answers to secret questions, password, etc! It's bizarre lol
Yup... as a service member (I am not one, so this is more what I see from the outside), it seems that that is the only thing the Govt is reliable to the Military about, is this.
My first husband was flown in from Cuba several times. My second was flown in from overseas several times and picked him up at the local airport. Both Marines. If they have a plane flying in from anywhere you can get a ride. At the least they will fly you to the closest airport in your home state.
There is a saying "you will never be a prophet in your own country". No one who knows everything about you will ever think your that great. I bet Taylor Swifts brother is like "yeah she a singer whatever"
How many women need to be scammed before they realize that very attractive men, either in the military or working on oil rigs don't reach out needing gift cards?
How does one eat food with an Apple gift card? (I know they sell it for money, but "send me an Apple gift card, I don't have food" hardly makes sense.)
Having personally purchased dozens of Amazon gift cards for Marines guarding our posts for the holiday, I can confirm, there go tos are protein powder and junk food 😆. I’m always amused when I run into them in the halls and they thank me simultaneously for protein powder and whatever their favorite snack is. It always strikes me as such an odd combo, but as long as they’re happy.
Her daughter need take some accountability too imo. If she knew her mom was gullible, she shouldn't of had her signed up on dating site or at east educate her on scams first still
@LifetimBetweenTh… Um nothing wrong with meeting someone on dating site just me careful n diligent I know couple folks of different ages have met their spouses n been happy so it’s not for everyone yea times have changed
I think what would be better is to educate older people about these scammers. And to teach them to be critical and to look for signs. Because sometimes they're not even trying to online date when they get roped in. They just get a message on FB or something. It's a shame really
My husband’s 60 something friend met his age appropriate, wonderful wife online. But he is educated and worldly so he would never fall for a fake profile of a young scantily dressed woman with large breasts.
@@BudduredToast Yup, an older friend of mine almost got roped into a romance scam because she friended someone who messaged her through a Bible/uplifting quote group on Facebook. When she shared the texts between them, I was able to warn her before she went down the rabbit hole. Pretty educational on how the scammers draw people in and get them to reveal info, though.
If you know a lonely older lady who's been widowed/ divorced PLEASE DON'T encourage her to look for love online. It's like sending toddlers into the tiger cage at the zoo😮
I'm 54. I was married for almost 30 years. I've used online dating sites. Date local only Meet in a week or move on Stay in your lane. It's that simple
@@a.jlondon9039 no they don't I have been to Africa and those scammers are living good off stolen money they build houses and drive around in nice cars and they are young boys. These people need to stop being so delusional.
I watched a docu on the rings of scammers in Nigeria and surrounding areas. In this particular ring, there were a room like a call center full of people. Men and women. They only typed. They were the ones in charge of finding the person who is likely to give money. Once money starts flowing, the victim then is passed off to another group of smaller scammers. These are people that have access to IT people, to send fake credentials, fake websites ect.. Then if a victim sends big money, on this night it was 10k, then they are passed off to a room of only 5 people and those 5 people work on that one person to get deeper in their pockets. This was a network of over 300 people and getting paid by commission. The last room of people are called "The Closers". The woman filming the docu at the end was saddened by the stories the scammers were coming up with. They live in a country that is poor with no jobs or hope. So her ending commentary was talking to young Nigerians age 5 to 10 all with goals of becoming football players or soccer players but they all knew what their first job would be in a matter of just a couple years and that is the first call center. She lost the purpose of exposing how these rings worked and ended up being suckered by the scammers. In the "closer" room, they all had thick gold chains, rings on every finger and nice clothes. All funded by lonely naive people with more money than sense.
I lost my husband to cancer when I was 45. Was with him 25 years. Trust me, I get her feeling of loneliness and wanting to feel loved again. However, what I don’t get, it feeling needing it so bad, that I would buy into these ridiculous stories? I will 100% die alone before I ever pay someone to love me🤷♀️. It’s crazy to me that people just blindly hand over money to people they have never laid their eyes on, or even spoke on the phone to for that matter.
Strange how our brave military personnel are just dropped off in foreign countries without any support our transportation home. And they are so stressed they all end up with Nigerian accents. 😂
Maybe they met in school and were high school sweethearts. It didn't say they were married that long that they were together that long. What's scary is comments like yours. 🤦♀️
13 isn't high school lmao What's more likely is that this man was a predator and isolated his child bride. Like they did a shitload back then. It was normalized because older people thought to protect shitty men instead of little girls @@PamMinnick
@@PamMinnick no the original comment was right on the money. She’s only been with one person since she was 13 years old. She never explored or anything. clearly doesn’t understand how the Internet works. doesn’t understand there are people out there who are going to hurt you and bleed you dry until you’re useless to them. That’s what scary.
@@mc1069 You're talking about a literal child at that time. We had public school for way longer than 40 years. Enrollment was mandatory for most of America since the 20s, all after Alaska joined the union.
The lack of knowledge about the capabilities of the military is astonishing. To think they are stranded, without food, have to pay their own way home from a foreign country is so damn dumb.
Also, as a European, Im baffled by how ignorant Americans seem to be about Europe. These people whom are trying to bail people out of hospitals, customs, countries etc etc are stunning to me. Most European countries are well developed wellfare states with rigid institutionalised regulation based on human rights and liberty. Most have free healthcare and direct service to American insurance companys. No need to bail anyone out of a hospital or like. Jeezez…🙄 And for beeing jailed, The US has the strongest protection via Embassys all over Europe. This is jus crazy level of ignorance😵💫
and all of that information is easily found online. i'm sorry but some of these people don't want to know. they are so excited about this fantasy bs that they ignore everything else until the guy takes everything they have and disappears. then they are a victim.
Since it’s called tinder the daughter must have thought the site sold tins of chilli, meatballs and macaroni. And was just fixing her mother up with her favourite hobby
I know an older woman who has hook-ups via Plenty of Fish, another hellhole. Wouldn't surprise me that the daughter thought Tinder was an improvement over PoF.
@@dashopepper You are absolutely right about POF- that was my experience; even after making it clear I only wanted to meet men in my immediate geographical area, I was getting comments from "France" and NYC!
You know, I can totally see how this one happened because she was with the same man since she was basically a child, and she hasn’t been out to experience all of the bad things about dating, the lies, the hurts. Even though she’s this age, she is just now learning.
Johnny Depp was going to fly in to see her, but the landing gear collapsed, but if she can send him $120,00 he could rent another plane and he’d be right there.
@@obscurum6Nope you’ve got it wrong . Johnny Depp had a car crash when he was driving to the airport so he could go to meet her . He’s now in hospital and needs money for medical bills . He can’t access his bank as all his money is ‘frozen ‘ in his account as he’s going through another nasty break up and they had a joint account . The press doesn’t know about the break up yet . He also has a young son who is being looked after by a friend. His son desperately needs an Xbox . So please can she send some money or send the XBox . His son loves her so much and already calls her ‘Mom ‘ . Johnny will pay her back when his account is no longer frozen . He has a billion in the bank and will treat his Queen so well. Also can she send Johnny’s lawyer 100k as he can issue papers for a marriage licence so Jonny can marry his Queen .Johnny has sent his Queen an engagement ring with the 50k his Queen sent him. Did she get it? ( It may look like it cost $10 from Amazon but it’s not from there )
@@lillexus5589Probably not, she don't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed. She apparently believed there's a "California airport" like the whole state only has 1 🤨
@@JaimeMesChiens Yes but she said Islam, not Islamabad. I can honestly say I know many people here in Tennessee who had the same life (early marriage, baby factory) and several didn't even make it into high school, much less graduate - too busy chasin babies and grandbabies all their life to worry about the world.
Everything they revealed to her, her response is “that’s what I thought”, “I knew it”, “I figured it was a scam all along”. Like, *no you didn’t.* You would not have sent this person all your money if you “knew” you were being scammed. It’s so frustrating when they do that. I get that you’re trying to save face, but come on. 🙄
She was married for over 40 years isn’t it time to find out who you are without a man. Join a gym, take an art class, spend time with friends. Stay off these dating sites full of scammers.
Sending money is one kind of crazy, but giving this stranger her social security number, birth certificate, and bank account info is crazy at another level! ! 😳
Especially when "Timothy" is warning her about how unscrupulous some of his soldier buddies can be in stealing his identity once they got hold of his iPad. /s
@@devadii24 Even many MARRIED folks have separate accounts! Be careful! I was married to a man and we shared an account. I had to leave him (abusive) and he DRAINED THE ACCOUNT OF EVERY DIME!!
I’m pushing 50 and have been single for 5 years. My mid 20’s daughter and I live together in a very petite unit with our cat and it’s very easygoing and peaceful. I wouldn’t give it up or change it for anything. I have my little routine, habits and quirks… it’s bliss.
@elainech6387 I visited London in 2008, where my brother lives, and I saw this type of houses, anyways I knew before this trip how a British house looks like from pictures and movies.
It's a house in Birmingham, England, tragically destroyed in a gas explosion before Christmas. This media photo was stolen to prop up the scammers lie about Syria, but it doesn't fool a lot of us!
I would be absolutely furious if I was the daughter. If I show you hard proof he's a scammer and you not only continue sending money, but refuse to believe it until someone else shows you proof?? That's really messed up! "I knew it was a scam... something told me it was..." YEAH! your FAMILY told you!
Actually, I have seen and experienced this a lot. Someone from outside the family who is perceived as any sort of authority on something (even if they really aren't) is often believed before someone inside the family.
@@patpeifer7871It’s the same thing in business. I’m retired now, but I remember several times in my career where mgmt ignored their employees recommendations and opinions, but were happy to do whatever expensive consultants suggested (even though it never ended up being better than what they were already hearing for free).
The sad thing is I have reported scam profiles of famous people to Facebook and EVERY single time FB has said their TOS allows scammers to set up profiles. EVERY SINGLE TIME WITHOUT FAIL
I wouldn’t even give £1 let alone give my birth certificate, social security number, bank details and retirement to someone I’ve never met. She’s beyond help
So I can't feel sorry for someone who is BEGGING to be scammed! I mean, what did she think a total stranger was gonna do with her social security number & birth certificate?! My boyfriend of 6 years doesn't even have that information on me
Most normal people wouldnt. Have to have something seriously wrong to stay in a relationship that doesnt exist except by phone and one where the other party asks for money. Crazy….
I Angela stopped emotionally developing in her teens. When a woman has a baby at age 13, 14, 15 etc that’s the emotional age she stays until the baby grows up. Combined with no real formal education and isolation plus I don’t think she has any critical thinking skills…..
As a woman myself, it's truly alarming to me to see how many women out here are 50+ and never learned to love themselves or have an identity outside of their partners or spouses. Once they're widowed or divorced they just want to fill that void with another person ASAP which makes them easier prey. SOOOO much cheaper to just learn how to be okay by yourself and get a hobby. Read, paint, travel, work out, make art, make friends, experiment with recipes, there's SOOO much more to life than romantic love.
They wouldn't. I guarantee it. When my department closed after 26 years working for the same company, my sister, who I thought was my best friend, suggested I go to the food bank.
Wait, hold up, you breathe in oxygen and expell carbon dioxide too? We're soulmates. Let's consummate our relationship with apple gift cards and Bitcoin 😂
one huge red flag among the rest....How could she think that a man in great physical shape ( and it takes dedication and will power to have a fit body) would go online and find love with a woman who looks so-so unhealthy. Her kids must have seen that.
Exactly. I just want to know what they fantasized? Going out with this good looking guy and they’re waddling next to them with no bra and unstyled hair and baggy t shirts?
I agree... Looking at the condition of that woman's overweight body...did she actually consider an intimate relationship with that young guy.? Sickening thought..😢
"If she sees it on the internet, she believes it " sucks, but my mom is like that too. It's tough to convince your older parents that they're being fooled.
@Itried20takennames my Nan's older than her and knows better. I don't see my Nan joining any dating sites after her husband dies, but I've warned her about the other types of scams like if someone calls pretending to be me or my sister to hang up and call us herself, or if they call claiming to be cops and needing her to pay off a fine w/gift cards to hang up.
These are the same people who were scammed by publishers clearing house. The internet made it more prolific but this generation was just too naive and trusting. They also believe any one who is rich got it because they were geniuses.
You can bet your life that she’s already phoned her daughter to tell her she’s over Timothy and is now in a new relationship with someone called Tom who she met online, she’s just waiting on him finishing up a contract he took on an overseas oil rig and that he’s going to buy her a house with all of the money he’s made, a house fit for a ‘Queen’ 😂😂😂
@@peggypetrone3401The problem isn’t Tinder specifically. Anyone who watches these videos knows that scammers are on all the dating sites. They could have set her up on Christian Mingle and the same thing would happen.
@@maxrebo8455 Thanks! You too. I really feel for these people who are desperately searching for that special someone but are naive enough to be duped out of their savings.
What does it have to do with having a "big heart"? She just saw a picture of a guy who was clearly out of her league and wanted to hold on to this fantasy of being with him
The big heart excuse is often a coverup for ulterior motives, such as a big cash payoff down the line, promised by the scammer. Or it is based on over-evaluation of one's assets and the desire to snag a gorgeous hunk.
As a military veteran who was deployed in 2019 - 2020… I can tell within the first 3 - 5 minutes of this video that this is a scam. I video chatted with family and friends back home the whole time I was deployed. This woman is ridiculous.
and why don't people do a basic reverse image search. I picked up 5 fake profiles/possible scammers in a local community group I'm in just by doing that.
There was no need for a reverse image search.. And any American citizen who doesn't know the military takes cares of soldiers, seriously has to be mentally challenged. I'm sorry if that's harsh but it's true; I mean that's why people join the military in the first place.
“I have a big heart” hmmmm….. -helping immigrants/homeless/elderly? Nope. -volunteering at the animal shelter or wildlife refuge? Nope. -sending money to romantic interest who’s going to buy her a house? Ding ding ding.
Syria isn’t just deserts and war zones like the media shows you. There normal are cities and residential areas. The irony in you calling someone else ignorant is hilarious though.
@@dewilew2137that was unnecessarily mean. And wrong. I realize the semi-anonymity of TH-cam comments can contribute to impolite jabs but it would be so nice if we treated one another with respect, particularly given the goal of this channel to help others. Have a good day!
what gets me is that her daughter already gave her more than enough evidence to debunk this guy. what makes so many of these victims believe total strangers over their own kin? why does she need to hear the same information from youtubers for it to click?
The scammers are telling the victim what s/he WANTS TO HEAR. The kin and others who truly care are telling them the cold hard truth. Telling a target what they want to hear is Con Artist 101(a).
I was talking to my neighbor about how conartists can make a mark out of anyone. While one vic may not fall for a romance scam, they might join a prayer group. They may not join a prayer group or fall for a romance scam, but they will donate to a sick child or animal. They may not do any of those things but get caught up in a celebrity fan scam. The scammers will just keep coming at the target in different ways until they get a foothold. I've had one family member get scammed via Anydesk tech help pop up and another that has an oil rig bf that never gets to leave the platform but constantly needs gift cards 😒 I never thought my antisocial tendency to believe NO ONE has my best interest at heart, would become a successful defensive mech for avoiding scams 😂 but here we are.
The level of denial with this woman is amazing. When the family shows you photos that she has of him and it's saying it a scam and you still don't accept it....wow.
My husband retired from the Navy after 20 years. Trust me, Uncle Sam treats his soldiers EXTREMELY WELL and they are NEVER left in some foreign country and forced to use their own money to pay off some service-related debt and they are NEVER left on some foreign shore to pay their own way back home. Your dude is lying to you. PERIOD.
Service people get 3 good meals a day, except on Sunday where they add an extra meal, brunch for those who want to sleep-in Sundays. My husband says the food was great. My father was a cook in the Navy and would cook for us on weekends. You never have to pay to get out of any service. They even fly you home when there are planes going near your state. My husband was flown to Atlanta and we picked him up. Was about 35 miles from our home. There’s no excuse for a service person to ask for money.
@@MsMedfordIt does . Maybe after they’ve come out of the Services they aren’t treated as well as they should be . Many have mental health problems including real PTSD ( not the fake kind ‘ I’ve lost my handbag and now I’ve got PTSD! )
Even if he was real, what kind of man would take someone‘s Social Security checks? This woman is on a fixed income. Even if she offered it, a decent man would not accept it; a good man would turn it down. This shows you how heartless and callous these scammers are. They are pure evil.
I'm still trying to figure out how the heck people start planning buying houses, weddings and sending money ! etc. etc. without ever meeting the individual !! Just Mind Boggling !!
I was in a shop and a man bought a scratch card . He went to the side and then shouted out loudly ‘Yes’ . Then he started crying . He’d just won 100k. He was a builder and he hated his job as his boss was very nasty to him . He phoned his boss and quit . He said the first thing he was going to do was take his son on holiday . It was a lovely atmosphere in the shop .
A few weeks ago. An american rock star (supposedly) messaged me. I asked him why his English grammar was so bad? He said I wasnt his friend. I replied "No I dont befriend catfishers, ciao." 😂😂😂😂
Well! The intro was a bit random! That house with the roof torn off is about three miles from where I live in the UK. We had a mini tornado about a month ago that caused a lot of damage. I'd take a tornado any day of the week over a scammer trying to empty my bank balance. 😂
Tbh they screwed up this time cos that house damage isn’t the one they showed. It’s exactly storm damage from just before Xmas 2023 in greater Manchester.
I actually got this line from a guy that messaged me. I picked this crap up by playing a cute little game on FB. So in the middle of planting my corn, I get the message "Hi!". And while single, I have no interest of dating anyone online. But thought, this could be interesting. After two days he started in with the queen stuff and have you eaten? I figure, it is time for me to make my move so I say, "Hey, I know we just met but we seem to be soul mates! I have a trust with about 500K but I need to move through getting the estate settled before I can tap into my money, can you help me? After a long pause and I am about to hyperventilate laughing, he said how much? I said 20K. He immediately had to go back to work. Hehe. After a couple days, he messaged me again wanting the paperwork to prove what I said is true. I said, well know I am in serious trouble. I borrowed 10K from some really bad guys and they are after me, can you help? He said he thought I was playing him and has never messaged me. I got my son to make all my FB private so now I am enjoying planting my garden without any disturbances!
They never listen to their loved ones. The people they raised and who care for them. But, then, say they are just SO kind and generous they will just give everything they have away…to complete strangers. SMH 🤦🏻♀️
He's at "the airport in California"? Seriously? Maybe he can take "the taxi in California" to "the hotel in California." I think California has one of each of those things as well. Good luck, Angela. He sounds perfectly legit. Maybe ask him to send a picture of his passport. That should confirm it.
He likes movies, and SHE likes movies!!! Imagine the odds! 🙄 As soon as he mentioned Syria, she should've blocked him. These "victims" are not rooted in reality.
@@dashopepper Some Americans don't have a good grasp of geography so are easily tricked. A FB scammer told me he was French and working in Cardiff. He asked me where I was born and where I live now and I said Wales. (I don't). His reply was he had heard that Wales was beautiful but he had never been, Cardiff is the capital of Wales.
@@dashopepperactually lmao 🤦🏽♀️ no Syria is NOT a desert (fun fact: I’m Syrian), parts of it are, but those aren’t largely inhabited that photo is bullshit bc it’s obviously a European architecture NOT MENA. Syria is rocky farmland mountains/steppe and coastal Mediterranean geographically. I would know I lived there for decades. This woman is a ding dong tho thru and thru
Reminds me of Best in Show when gorgeous Jennifer Coolidge, married to a man who's 1000 years old than her and out of it, says, "We have an amazing relationship. We both have so much in common. We both love soup and, uh...we love snow peas...and, uh, talking and not talking...we could talk or not talk FOREVER and still find things to not talk about." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I often wonder what quality of emotional support/intimacy these women have had with their partners if the most basic inquiries from these scammers have them feeling loved. Especially this woman who sounds like maybe there was a little grooming. 3 kids by 19 years old? Did she even finish high school?
It's always amazing how these women actually think that these younger good looking men would really talk to them let alone marry them And I don't mean to be mean but I can't believe the self confidence that she has! I wish that I had that much confidence!!!
I hate to say it but this is the kind of thing that happens when you have three children before you are 19... You have absolutely no idea about the world or what has been going on around you, no experience, no critical thinking skills.
I loved the photo of the houses obviously in the UK that the scammer passed for bombed houses in Syria. It's really sad how many Americans lead such sheltered lives that they know nothing about other countries/cultures (and the scammers use that to their advantage).
Absolutely..it's sad..American Soldiers when they are stationed in Europe always talk about the USA as:the world 😅been married to one, that's how it I know
Yeah, I know that was one of my first thoughts as well. I mean no shade to the guy in the photos but he’s definitely not got that kind of height. My husband is 6 foot three my dad is 6 foot four who are over probably 6 foot one. It’s pretty easy to tell you can tell by the length of and proportions of their limbs
@@thankthelord4536POF 10 years ago was so amazing for lesbians. I miss it. So old-school now. I had a really great date at 21 thanks to that site.. But then I chickened out and felt insecure :( and disappeared. Still regret that..
@@thankthelord4536 I would say that in general, yes, and as a widow myself, I would probably not choose either of those platforms to put myself out there mostly because I would be afraid of having my own photos, stolen and misused not that I am some supermodel, but I’m above average looking, and anytime I created a dating profile I seem to be inundated with messages, but I do have a best friend who literally met her husband of many years on plenty of fish and they’re both perfectly normal decent well adjusted people. It was just one of those things I mean, it does happen, but I would say in general most people on those kinds of sites are not looking for normal, decent well adjusted partnersfor the long-haul LMAO
Seeing her tear up when talking about people treating her like she’s stupid broke my heart - and mostly because when watching these I often think “wow how stupid”; but seeing her tear up brought it home. She’s not stupid she’s very lonely. It’s quite sad and these scammers display a striking amount of cruelty.
From what I understand it may be thousands of emails and contacts they made through text and social media before someone responds. Then there’s even fewer people who would go beyond a few exchanges with a scammer. Then there’s even fewer who will go off the original platform which is what the scammer wants. From there, they work their magic and are more likely to get money from a victim at least once. Sometimes people catch on before money is ever sent. While others catch on sometime after. They may lose some money but not their life savings. Then there’s the ones that we hear about. The ones that send their life savings to this person that they have never met.
Hundreds. I see scammers on groups I am in, but there are so many other groups. There are billions of fake profiles on FB. I believe this is why they cling on hard if they get ANY response, because that must be so rare.
@@thisperson5294 the funny thing is, I look at the friends of the FB scammers and if they have any half of the look like scammers and are posting on each others' pages.

People giving up their birth certificate, social and their banking info is insane to me.
It’s freaking INSANE
What makes you think that she is sane? She’s a friggan loony tune who wants a man to take care of her so she doesn’t have to get off her couch
Right? My husband barely has that info.
I work Customer Service and have had people randomly give their card info, mother's maiden name/answers to secret questions, password, etc! It's bizarre lol
I died when she said the military left him stranded in California. The military will bring you home even if you're dead.
I was a military wife for 25 years even if you have a dishonorable discharge they fly you home
and how do you get stranded in California? Id think you could at the very least rent a car or go on cheap tickets 🤣
Yup... as a service member (I am not one, so this is more what I see from the outside), it seems that that is the only thing the Govt is reliable to the Military about, is this.
@@brianred8until you retire and need post war therapy
My first husband was flown in from Cuba several times. My second was flown in from overseas several times and picked him up at the local airport. Both Marines. If they have a plane flying in from anywhere you can get a ride. At the least they will fly you to the closest airport in your home state.
Irony is, mom believed a total stranger over her family, and now is listening to 2 total strangers over her family.

That's not irony! Look it up! 🤨
Such a shame
There is a saying "you will never be a prophet in your own country". No one who knows everything about you will ever think your that great. I bet Taylor Swifts brother is like "yeah she a singer whatever"
What were her children thinking just turning her loose on Tinder after 41 years of marriage without supervision?
She’s not too bright and fairly ignorant of the ways of the world. Likely her kids are the same.
id tap that
ESP since she had only been with her husband since age 15
I would have been grateful for 41 years and honored that great love in a special way not involving the internet.
They probably were not fully aware of how haywire this would have been for their mom. They underestimated the dishonesty on such sites.
How many women need to be scammed before they realize that very attractive men, either in the military or working on oil rigs don't reach out needing gift cards?
Nor do these chiselled hunks need old, obese, worn out dish-rags!
All of them it seems
How does one eat food with an Apple gift card? (I know they sell it for money, but "send me an Apple gift card, I don't have food" hardly makes sense.)
Having personally purchased dozens of Amazon gift cards for Marines guarding our posts for the holiday, I can confirm, there go tos are protein powder and junk food 😆. I’m always amused when I run into them in the halls and they thank me simultaneously for protein powder and whatever their favorite snack is. It always strikes me as such an odd combo, but as long as they’re happy.
Timothy would never look at her twice.
"I'm tired of people treating me like I'm stupid"

Who the hell sets their mother up a Tinder Profile?!?! 🤦♂️
And then says, "She believes everyone she sees on the internet." Daughters, WTH were you thinking???!
@@tinaalexander8719 exactly 💯
Her daughter need take some accountability too imo. If she knew her mom was gullible, she shouldn't of had her signed up on dating site or at east educate her on scams first still
I agree. I find it weird her own daughter encouraged her mother to join Tinder. Talk about pushy her into the lions den. That back fired.
Well, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The daughter is not one of the brightest either.
Please stop suggesting that your parents go online to date. Find them someone in town. And parents listen to your kids. They love you.
@LifetimBetweenTh… Um nothing wrong with meeting someone on dating site just me careful n diligent I know couple folks of different ages have met their spouses n been happy so it’s not for everyone yea times have changed
I’ve seen this lady before
I think what would be better is to educate older people about these scammers. And to teach them to be critical and to look for signs.
Because sometimes they're not even trying to online date when they get roped in. They just get a message on FB or something.
It's a shame really
My husband’s 60 something friend met his age appropriate, wonderful wife online. But he is educated and worldly so he would never fall for a fake profile of a young scantily dressed woman with large breasts.
@@BudduredToast Yup, an older friend of mine almost got roped into a romance scam because she friended someone who messaged her through a Bible/uplifting quote group on Facebook.
When she shared the texts between them, I was able to warn her before she went down the rabbit hole. Pretty educational on how the scammers draw people in and get them to reveal info, though.
I just turned 62 and I know there's NO WAY a young, handsome, wealthy man would want to talk to me. Ladies open your eyes
Right? Same.

Another young Nigerian bloke is becoming a property owner in his early 20's.
They buy guns.
@@a.jlondon9039 no they don't I have been to Africa and those scammers are living good off stolen money they build houses and drive around in nice cars and they are young boys. These people need to stop being so delusional.
@@a.jlondon9039I imagine to take over existing property.
@@a.jlondon9039they gotta store them somewhere bud
I watched a docu on the rings of scammers in Nigeria and surrounding areas. In this particular ring, there were a room like a call center full of people. Men and women. They only typed. They were the ones in charge of finding the person who is likely to give money. Once money starts flowing, the victim then is passed off to another group of smaller scammers. These are people that have access to IT people, to send fake credentials, fake websites ect.. Then if a victim sends big money, on this night it was 10k, then they are passed off to a room of only 5 people and those 5 people work on that one person to get deeper in their pockets. This was a network of over 300 people and getting paid by commission. The last room of people are called "The Closers". The woman filming the docu at the end was saddened by the stories the scammers were coming up with. They live in a country that is poor with no jobs or hope. So her ending commentary was talking to young Nigerians age 5 to 10 all with goals of becoming football players or soccer players but they all knew what their first job would be in a matter of just a couple years and that is the first call center. She lost the purpose of exposing how these rings worked and ended up being suckered by the scammers. In the "closer" room, they all had thick gold chains, rings on every finger and nice clothes. All funded by lonely naive people with more money than sense.
I lost my husband to cancer when I was 45. Was with him 25 years. Trust me, I get her feeling of loneliness and wanting to feel loved again. However, what I don’t get, it feeling needing it so bad, that I would buy into these ridiculous stories? I will 100% die alone before I ever pay someone to love me🤷♀️.
It’s crazy to me that people just blindly hand over money to people they have never laid their eyes on, or even spoke on the phone to for that matter.
Strange how our brave military personnel are just dropped off in foreign countries without any support our transportation home. And they are so stressed they all end up with Nigerian accents. 😂

She was with her husband since she was 13 years old and evidently never left the house, never went to school, never learned anything. That's scary.
Maybe they met in school and were high school sweethearts. It didn't say they were married that long that they were together that long. What's scary is comments like yours. 🤦♀️
13 isn't high school lmao
What's more likely is that this man was a predator and isolated his child bride. Like they did a shitload back then. It was normalized because older people thought to protect shitty men instead of little girls

The lack of knowledge about the capabilities of the military is astonishing. To think they are stranded, without food, have to pay their own way home from a foreign country is so damn dumb.
Also, as a European, Im baffled by how ignorant Americans seem to be about Europe. These people whom are trying to bail people out of hospitals, customs, countries etc etc are stunning to me. Most European countries are well developed wellfare states with rigid institutionalised regulation based on human rights and liberty. Most have free healthcare and direct service to American insurance companys. No need to bail anyone out of a hospital or like. Jeezez…🙄
And for beeing jailed, The US has the strongest protection via Embassys all over Europe. This is jus crazy level of ignorance😵💫
and pay with gift cards lmao
and all of that information is easily found online. i'm sorry but some of these people don't want to know. they are so excited about this fantasy bs that they ignore everything else until the guy takes everything they have and disappears. then they are a victim.

He also has a young son who is being looked after by a friend. His son desperately needs an Xbox . So please can she send some money or send the XBox . His son loves her so much and already calls her ‘Mom ‘ . Johnny will pay her back when his account is no longer frozen . He has a billion in the bank and will treat his Queen so well. Also can she send Johnny’s lawyer 100k as he can issue papers for a marriage licence so Jonny can marry his Queen .Johnny has sent his Queen an engagement ring with the 50k his Queen sent him.

He's not out of her leave it's vice versa
Not only her heart is big
''I've got a big heart."
Well, that does not seem to apply to your family, that warned you about the scam for months.
The big heart excuse is often a coverup for ulterior motives, such as a big cash payoff down the line, promised by the scammer. Or it is based on over-evaluation of one's assets and the desire to snag a gorgeous hunk.
As a military veteran who was deployed in 2019 - 2020… I can tell within the first 3 - 5 minutes of this video that this is a scam. I video chatted with family and friends back home the whole time I was deployed. This woman is ridiculous.
and why don't people do a basic reverse image search. I picked up 5 fake profiles/possible scammers in a local community group I'm in just by doing that.
There was no need for a reverse image search.. And any American citizen who doesn't know the military takes cares of soldiers, seriously has to be mentally challenged. I'm sorry if that's harsh but it's true; I mean that's why people join the military in the first place.

I was talking to my neighbor about how conartists can make a mark out of anyone. While one vic may not fall for a romance scam, they might join a prayer group. They may not join a prayer group or fall for a romance scam, but they will donate to a sick child or animal. They may not do any of those things but get caught up in a celebrity fan scam. The scammers will just keep coming at the target in different ways until they get a foothold. I've had one family member get scammed via Anydesk tech help pop up and another that has an oil rig bf that never gets to leave the platform but constantly needs gift cards 😒
I never thought my antisocial tendency to believe NO ONE has my best interest at heart, would become a successful defensive mech for avoiding scams 😂 but here we are.
@FrankYammy I agree but the question still stands, and is a good question.
The level of denial with this woman is amazing. When the family shows you photos that she has of him and it's saying it a scam and you still don't accept it....wow.
My husband retired from the Navy after 20 years. Trust me, Uncle Sam treats his soldiers EXTREMELY WELL and they are NEVER left in some foreign country and forced to use their own money to pay off some service-related debt and they are NEVER left on some foreign shore to pay their own way back home. Your dude is lying to you. PERIOD.
Didn’t your husband have to pay to get out of the military when he retired?😆
Actually uncle sam doesn't treat its soldiers well
Service people get 3 good meals a day, except on Sunday where they add an extra meal, brunch for those who want to sleep-in Sundays. My husband says the food was great. My father was a cook in the Navy and would cook for us on weekends. You never have to pay to get out of any service. They even fly you home when there are planes going near your state. My husband was flown to Atlanta and we picked him up. Was about 35 miles from our home. There’s no excuse for a service person to ask for money.
@@MsMedfordIt does . Maybe after they’ve come out of the Services they aren’t treated as well as they should be . Many have mental health problems including real PTSD ( not the fake kind ‘ I’ve lost my handbag and now I’ve got PTSD! )
As a soldier of love stationed in Nigeria I can guarantee you that's not how it works here my queen.
Red flag #1 tinder. Biggest red flag “military contract”
Military career men who have all day and all night to hang out online and check on their 'babe'.
Oil rig must be #2
Even if he was real, what kind of man would take someone‘s Social Security checks? This woman is on a fixed income. Even if she offered it, a decent man would not accept it; a good man would turn it down. This shows you how heartless and callous these scammers are. They are pure evil.
I'm still trying to figure out how the heck people start planning buying houses, weddings and sending money ! etc. etc. without ever meeting the individual !! Just Mind Boggling !!
sick and shallow----anybody with a modicum of depth would be made nauseous by someone begging constantly
@@rdorris724 I Agree !! Sad to see how many people are so desperate for attention even if it costs them
I bet she buys scratch offs at the gas station everyday.
The one in a million odds of hitting it big, is a whole lot better than betting on this guy to marry her and buy her a house.
Buying a scratch off every day is a lot less expensive than giving all your money away to a scammer.
I was in a shop and a man bought a scratch card . He went to the side and then shouted out loudly ‘Yes’ . Then he started crying . He’d just won 100k. He was a builder and he hated his job as his boss was very nasty to him . He phoned his boss and quit .
He said the first thing he was going to do was take his son on holiday . It was a lovely atmosphere in the shop .
Hey, don't be hating on scratch offs lol. I've actually won $40 before
She doesn't go to the gas station.
A few weeks ago. An american rock star (supposedly) messaged me. I asked him why his English grammar was so bad? He said I wasnt his friend. I replied "No I dont befriend catfishers, ciao." 😂😂😂😂
Her daughter did her no favors by setting her up on Tinder. Did she not know that her mother would be a prime target for a scammer? Big mistake.
Sounds like they both sadly were very very naive
Well, scammers gotta eat. These people are their feeders.
Well! The intro was a bit random! That house with the roof torn off is about three miles from where I live in the UK. We had a mini tornado about a month ago that caused a lot of damage. I'd take a tornado any day of the week over a scammer trying to empty my bank balance. 😂
😂😂
Yeah, I noticed that. Americans. 😂
💯 That's here in UK 😂
Wait we have tornados in the uk??
How she thought that looked like Syria is beyond me. That is one lazy scammer.
I met an army general on the facebook last week. He asked how I was doin. I told him I was hungry and needed gift cards. He blocked me 😢
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣oh god i have to use that one!!! 😹😹😹😹😹😹
😂😂😂
i throw in a few nigerian slang words.... that gets my blocked quickly..... no fun !
@@GavTatu 🤣I do that sometimes too
@@ogcatlady I did it finally!! One asked me what I meant, one said Alaye and one blocked me immediately. It was such fun. 😂
I am in awe of how the Catfished team spin the events to make the woman feel less stupid.
They are very compassionate
@@kawalli3768To the point of qualifying for Sainthood.😂😂😂
I could never be so gentle 😂 I usually yell at my phone just watching it 😅
it is their business.
Tbh they screwed up this time cos that house damage isn’t the one they showed. It’s exactly storm damage from just before Xmas 2023 in greater Manchester.
She’s 57?!!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮 I’m 57! She needs to take care of herself 😑
Exactly what I said, me too. My mother looks better than her.
💯 ! She should focus on her health/weight asap!
I'm 54 and was shocked she was 57
Shes eaten no doubt
IM 58
I was talking to someone on a dating site. As soon as they asked for a gift card, I blocked them. I'm lonely but not dumb.
That happened to me too.
"Did you eat today, my queen." 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Whats your favorite food?
"Do you live with your family?" Cos they want people to be isolated.
Yessss!
I actually got this line from a guy that messaged me. I picked this crap up by playing a cute little game on FB. So in the middle of planting my corn, I get the message "Hi!". And while single, I have no interest of dating anyone online. But thought, this could be interesting. After two days he started in with the queen stuff and have you eaten? I figure, it is time for me to make my move so I say, "Hey, I know we just met but we seem to be soul mates! I have a trust with about 500K but I need to move through getting the estate settled before I can tap into my money, can you help me? After a long pause and I am about to hyperventilate laughing, he said how much? I said 20K. He immediately had to go back to work. Hehe. After a couple days, he messaged me again wanting the paperwork to prove what I said is true. I said, well know I am in serious trouble. I borrowed 10K from some really bad guys and they are after me, can you help? He said he thought I was playing him and has never messaged me. I got my son to make all my FB private so now I am enjoying planting my garden without any disturbances!
They never listen to their loved ones. The people they raised and who care for them. But, then, say they are just SO kind and generous they will just give everything they have away…to complete strangers. SMH 🤦🏻♀️
some listen, and fortunately for them, bcuz they listened, it never comes to this point.
0:13 "he's in DANGER" *Cuts to a random picture of a street in the UK*
Has there ever been anyone who has turned out to be genuine? That would be a good episode!
Yes once, and the catfish team spoke to her.
@@whiskers78753 what episode?
yeah, that one in vietnam who'd been taking money from the man for 10 years@@whiskers78753
But really, that woman was talking to two guys and was on the show because the other one had asked her for money
I was thinking the same thing!!
I would NEVER suggest to my mother to get on Tinder 😂
Never do it 😎!
I’m a native English speaker and I can’t understand 95% of what she’s saying.
Like how he was going to Islam? I guess those analysts need to be out on the front line and get that whole religion.
Same
She mumbles . Her daughter is easy to understand
Turn on subtitles
I’m from Asia and I hear her clear as day 😂 then again, my partner has a country mumble accent.
Hahaha!! They always say, “that’s what I thought” when confronted with the proof. Lol.
He's at "the airport in California"? Seriously? Maybe he can take "the taxi in California" to "the hotel in California." I think California has one of each of those things as well. Good luck, Angela. He sounds perfectly legit. Maybe ask him to send a picture of his passport. That should confirm it.
🎶 welcome to the hotel California 🎶
@Sashazur 😂I was about to comment, you can check out any time you'd like, but you can never leave.
@@lvega5606. But it’s a lovely place.
The fact that she had a feeling it was a scam but still sent him money what a dumb dumb.
He likes movies, and SHE likes movies!!! Imagine the odds! 🙄
As soon as he mentioned Syria, she should've blocked him. These "victims" are not rooted in reality.
Right! And the firebombed house across the street from his Syrian hotel. Like lady, Syria is in a desert, not in a northern climate.
@@dashopepper Some Americans don't have a good grasp of geography so are easily tricked. A FB scammer told me he was French and working in Cardiff. He asked me where I was born and where I live now and I said Wales. (I don't). His reply was he had heard that Wales was beautiful but he had never been, Cardiff is the capital of Wales.
@@dashopepperactually lmao 🤦🏽♀️ no Syria is NOT a desert (fun fact: I’m Syrian), parts of it are, but those aren’t largely inhabited that photo is bullshit bc it’s obviously a European architecture NOT MENA. Syria is rocky farmland mountains/steppe and coastal Mediterranean geographically. I would know I lived there for decades. This woman is a ding dong tho thru and thru
@@jordanalandry1866 Apologies. I was thinking more about it being along the Mediterranean and picturing palm trees, not Northern European vegetation.
Reminds me of Best in Show when gorgeous Jennifer Coolidge, married to a man who's 1000 years old than her and out of it, says, "We have an amazing relationship. We both have so much in common. We both love soup and, uh...we love snow peas...and, uh, talking and not talking...we could talk or not talk FOREVER and still find things to not talk about." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I often wonder what quality of emotional support/intimacy these women have had with their partners if the most basic inquiries from these scammers have them feeling loved. Especially this woman who sounds like maybe there was a little grooming. 3 kids by 19 years old? Did she even finish high school?
yes and her husband in photos looks much older than her..
I don't even like paying my own bills much less a complete strangers.
Why the hell would her daughter put her on Tinder?
Knowing that her mother is very gullible and uneducated.
Because she knows that Christian Mingle is scam city.
Because she met me here for a hook up !!
@@matchhunter7012😂😂😂
It's always amazing how these women actually think that these younger good looking men would really talk to them let alone marry them And I don't mean to be mean but I can't believe the self confidence that she has! I wish that I had that much confidence!!!
She weighs a 400 pounds at least, ain’t no oil painting, and I don’t understand one word she says. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@vidamariaixchel4962 🤣
Yes, there's a lot of vanity but no mirror!
@@Challenger2A7 🤣🤣🤣
she doesn't need a date, she needs dr now@@vidamariaixchel4962
I hate to say it but this is the kind of thing that happens when you have three children before you are 19... You have absolutely no idea about the world or what has been going on around you, no experience, no critical thinking skills.
I loved the photo of the houses obviously in the UK that the scammer passed for bombed houses in Syria. It's really sad how many Americans lead such sheltered lives that they know nothing about other countries/cultures (and the scammers use that to their advantage).
Absolutely..it's sad..American Soldiers when they are stationed in Europe always talk about the USA as:the world 😅been married to one, that's how it I know
She may not know what the UK is. I'm sure if you asked her she would not know what UK stands for no less what it looks like.
superbowl is a "world championship" xD i dont even know their version of rugby, they are calling "football"... lol, no feet included
@@sharynkhan1104not a 3 year old in her town
@@QQr00zHuh?
The man in those pictures is NOT 6’3”. He’s not 6’-anything. And why would you put your 60+ year old recently widowed mom on tinder????
Yeah, I know that was one of my first thoughts as well. I mean no shade to the guy in the photos but he’s definitely not got that kind of height. My husband is 6 foot three my dad is 6 foot four who are over probably 6 foot one. It’s pretty easy to tell you can tell by the length of and proportions of their limbs
@@jordanalandry1866 Absolutely. It was immediately obvious.
Tinder and POF are the Walmart of dating sites.
@@thankthelord4536POF 10 years ago was so amazing for lesbians. I miss it. So old-school now. I had a really great date at 21 thanks to that site.. But then I chickened out and felt insecure :( and disappeared. Still regret that..
@@thankthelord4536 I would say that in general, yes, and as a widow myself, I would probably not choose either of those platforms to put myself out there mostly because I would be afraid of having my own photos, stolen and misused not that I am some supermodel, but I’m above average looking, and anytime I created a dating profile I seem to be inundated with messages, but I do have a best friend who literally met her husband of many years on plenty of fish and they’re both perfectly normal decent well adjusted people. It was just one of those things I mean, it does happen, but I would say in general most people on those kinds of sites are not looking for normal, decent well adjusted partnersfor the long-haul LMAO
Seeing her tear up when talking about people treating her like she’s stupid broke my heart - and mostly because when watching these I often think “wow how stupid”; but seeing her tear up brought it home. She’s not stupid she’s very lonely. It’s quite sad and these scammers display a striking amount of cruelty.
I wonder how many tries it takes to find a gullible one.
It's a number game, just like fishing. They put the bait out there, and whoever bites, gets "loved" out of all their money.
From what I understand it may be thousands of emails and contacts they made through text and social media before someone responds. Then there’s even fewer people who would go beyond a few exchanges with a scammer. Then there’s even fewer who will go off the original platform which is what the scammer wants. From there, they work their magic and are more likely to get money from a victim at least once. Sometimes people catch on before money is ever sent. While others catch on sometime after. They may lose some money but not their life savings. Then there’s the ones that we hear about. The ones that send their life savings to this person that they have never met.
Hundreds. I see scammers on groups I am in, but there are so many other groups. There are billions of fake profiles on FB. I believe this is why they cling on hard if they get ANY response, because that must be so rare.
@@thisperson5294 the funny thing is, I look at the friends of the FB scammers and if they have any half of the look like scammers and are posting on each others' pages.
