Hahahaha

Hahaha, that’s awesome 👏

😆😆

Hahaha.. that's smart.. lol

Hahaha!!😆😆😆😆😆

😂😂😂😂fr

LMAOOOOO! This comment has me screaming 😂😂

They do say that, more often then not, on most of these videos. Lol.

That's what she thought but she went ahead anyway. OK.😑

It’s called cognitive dissonance

You can ALWAYS spot an African: they WILL NOT, EVER pronounce their Hs; They'll say "oppy, tink, tank and taught" Instead of happy, THink, THank and THought". Very easy to spot a Nigerian!

They’re so ridiculous 😂 I can’t stop watching these lol

Well I kinda get what she means of you read most messages fro Nigerian scammers they are not very well written

Sounds a little racist.

@@sponish0 she still feel for a scammer… 🤣

@@sponish0 ...but they still manage to find plenty American boomer dummies to fleece.

Right?! Time to practice some humility, Patty.

Is that so..?

And too wise!

It hurts and brings tears to my eyes when I read comments from victims who have been scammed by scammers online. I know how it feels and hurts to lose the money you've worked for half of your life. Sometime in January, I was scammed by a man who convinced me into believing that he loves me. And I lost a total of $150k, and when I requested a video call with him, he asked me to make another $20,000 deposit before I could see him on a video call. This is very pathetic so I contacted my sister and told her everything that was happening to me, to my surprise my sister told me that the man was a scam. I felt very sad losing my money. I did some due diligence on this man but guess what I ended up getting scammed. Who would have believed this? When I saw a comment from Allison Bambara, who managed to recover all his lost funds through the help of Mr James Steven Brain, an expert in recovering lost funds. Well, I did it 50/50, which means I can't lose my money to scammers anymore. So I gave Mr James Steven Brain a try and to my surprise, he successfully helped me get back everything I had lost. This is to create awareness, not everyone can be as lucky as me. I say this because I was able to get my funds back. Thanks to Mr James Steven's Brain recovery team, they are private investigators and fund recovery experts... Feel free to contact him via email for assistance. jamesstevenbrain@gmail.com I thought someone might find this information useful.

Or just meet someone face to face instead of online.

@@lvega5606 Don't forget that scammers can meet you in person and still scam you. Refer to the "Tinder Swindler"! He met all his victims, wined and dined them, took them on private jets, and still scammed them. Most people lost morals, they need to return to God.

Agreed

Yes, it's clear sign. Only interested in the money, gift cards, bitcoins too They stopped talking to you if they don't receive any money, Bitcoin or even Gifts cards.

💯Facts

Or customs package scams

Yes. If it were a legit person in need of money they would ask their family or good friends. No one should be asking a stranger or someone they recently met for money.

Once they ask for money. It’s delete from me

Dear Lisa, Yes, quite true: only naive, uneducated individuals think that "businessman" is a profession. Ha! They sound like fatuous rubes. So funny.

Fair point

Yes. Even if they're not a scammer, they're likely someone who is either unemployed or does something they don't want to talk about.

Exactly. “Businessman” can mean anything!

Or entrepreneur- typically means unemployed

🎯 Yes, they all knew... 🤡🤡🤡

some real good ones on the dr phil show that you can watch on KZfaq, if you haven't already

Me too hahaha I'm obsessed. Every time I start feeling bad about myself I'll throw one on the tube.

I'm horrified and fascinated at the same time

@@NachoAmiga I hope you are able to help him.

I know

Monies lol

Half of the ppl admit they watch these videos and saw the red flags and STILL sent sh**. It's ridiculous and very few that I personally feel are actual victims. Most are literally willing participants.

Yes, her own grammatical mistakes. Lol

She thinks Nigerians are stupid. They were smart enough to fleece her!

They are bilingual. More than I can say about the victim. It is hard to learn another language.

I heard that they often do the grammar mistakes on purpose, because if the victim is willing to overlook that, then they will overlook other things too, and be easier to scam.

@@NikkiC777 yeah okay.

Some are smart. Scammers need a sucka’ to take for a ride most of all. They key is the gullible stooge. Without one no scam can happen. I haven’t encountered a single story about scammer got the money without the dummy handing it over. I haven’t encountered a scam that I didn’t identify before a friend finished their second sentence describing this person they met online.

💯

No, she is not mocking her friends. She is explaining how she got into this situation. Our friend's advice does help us to make future decisions, and that is all she is acknowledging here, that she didn't just blindly go into something. She spoke with her friends and was encouraged. This was an elaborate scam, and they chose a man's photo who looked about the right age and was not too handsome to raise suspicion.

Pay for lay

That's exactly the question I ask and it's so perfect.

When feelings are Involved you don’t act the same

@@elisscaliving4776 That's right. You ignore all the red flags and sirens blaring in your face telling you, "Don't be an ldiot!!"

Nancy, this lady talked to this person every other day and felt she knew him .All part of the scam.

Because usually a stranger walking up to you immediately tells you this is a they're up to no good, no romantic feelings involved. Meeting someone online, especially a dating website tells you this person is looking for romance too so your guard is already down. They warm their way into your heart, or give you this sob story so you feel obliged in helping them they build a connection with you that's how it starts for some. They gain your trust.

Yes, agreed! Gift cards, Bitcoins. .

Met up with a would be OIL RIG scammer on FB dating. Within 3 weeks he tried to hit me up for a $30K "loan." His bank account froze at sea. No credit cards, no operating account. Damn shame. Bye bruh.

@@debmccafferty1007 Happened same with me! Bank froze accounts, Investment,etc

It’s a red flag 🚩 these desperate old women ignore

What about the ones who think they were loved by Johnny Depp

@@sssfsshtscfjyv7600omg the amount of women who think they’re dating Johnny Depp is crazy 😂

No, you weren’t being cheap. You have absolutely no reason to give a stranger on the internet that you’ve never met money.

You were thinking rationally. Many of these scam victims were following emotional feelings, which can turn off rational thought.

Fat line between trust and stupidity

Matters of the heart will trump common sense every time. Common sense is sort of irrelevant--in fact is an insult to the person--when it shouldn't be. Just makes them feel worse, and who needs that?

Thomas Paine?

BINGO!! My parents really hammered into me, starting when I was a kid, to never, ever, EVER sign anything without reading it, and to likewise never, ever sign anything I didn't understand!! Doctor's office receptionists always look at me like I'm nuts, because I actually read through *all* the paperwork on HIPAA and mediation, etc. that they want me to sign every time I visit a medical office, LOL! But hey- mom & dad were right! If I haven't read it, I ain't signing it. Period. 😁

As the daughter of a lawyer, I was taught from a very young age to never sign anything without reading through everything and if it involves money or contains any language I don't understand, having a lawyer review it. Even if it costs $100+ to get a lawyer to read over it, it's still going to be cheaper than getting scammed or entering into a bad deal.

@@susaninika7552 Hah! I didn't put that part of what you said in my reply because it was already so long...but I was also going to say how one bit of advice my dad also gave me was that it's almost always going to be cheaper in the long run to spend th ~$100 to hire a lawyer or accountant to read through any documents you don't understand than it could be to actually just sign something you don't understand!

Right! Those I fell for in real life started as friends, not models, but as we grew closer they became beautiful.

Its lust only

Yes! It’s very superficial

They are falling for the kind words and attention

Can you imagine that?

@@africa_everyday I really can't. The irony is at the beginning she says 'they are all scammers'. Then she hands over the money .....

@@amybarn9251 that's the most confusing part. She knows there are a lot of scammers online, yet she gave out her money. To me, that's stupidity. Having no idea that internet is infested with scammers is another story entirely.

Maybe the bit about her knowing about scammers was added afterwards, for the show

I think it shows that scammers are getting better and better. She doesn't seem to be desperate for love nor money but they reeled her in anyway with educated-sounding talk. She knew there are a lot of scammers, she probably didn't know much of the details though, what to watch out for. They are so clever it's frightening.

No it's not any person with sense wouldn't invest bitcoin with a stranger they met on a dating site.

one of those scams that appeals to greed, like the 419 scam. You think you might get really rich.

The absolute audacity & ignorance of Americans is summed up in that statement.

Haha, he was smart enough to trick her out of 26,000 bucks. SMH 🙄🤑

@@NikkiC777 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@@braindamaged9519 in one freakin statement 🤦🏾‍♀️

@@NikkiC777 this!

Thanks,couldn’t place the photo but it looked familiar .dr.Phil catfish

Yes !!! He was on show and stupid lady who was getting scammed took pics with him n sent it to the real scammer and she kept talking I think because it’s the voice the text people don’t get it they say oh it’s that or this

What makes her so smart? Lol

She has to be respectful. It’s called being professional. If she wasn’t soft and kind no one would ever come on the show and talk about being catfished. Its a part of her job description. It’s called common sense

She's a professional, done it many times. It's nice to be respectful but the fact is these victims are bird brained and don't need any respect wasted on them. Save it for people who are intelligent and deserve it

@@pinecedar180 There's only been one person on this channel who I've felt sorry for. I can't remember her name but she was so humble and admitted she'd been super naive and would never fall for it again. She was so upset she had to go and have a cry when she found out her man wasn't real. All the rest though, they're either insanely stupid, arrogant or just don't make me feel any sympathy for whatever reason. I find it hard to believe that in today's world that anyone would believe the outrageous stories they tell them and ridiculous reasons why they need money when they're apparently rich, and they want it sent in gift cards. Come on! 😅

Yes Linnie is a sweetheart

Yet she’s the dumbo sending money to imaginary people 🙄😂

😂😂😂

So offensive.

Sounds about white.

Underestimating these guys is a huge mistake.

This is so important. The guys that I have actually met and dated from apps were guys who made plans to meet me fairly quickly and we met within a week of matching. I'm not saying the other guys were scammers (I only encountered one who was definitely a scammer) but the ones who just wanted to text for days never resulted in actual dates.

Exactly. If people want to date online and will use common sense, they could be successful. The issue for these people is they go off the photos and get obsessed with the way the person looks and won’t let go and ignore very obvious red flags the ‘normal’ person on these sites do. 95% of the people I’ve seen on this show are extremely superficial.

I agree.

She is sadly mistaken! And it shows because she fell for the scam🤦🏾‍♀️

Nigerians are scary intelligent 😂 watch out

@@marthaindiana 🤣🤣🤣

Omg RIGHT! I wanna feel bad but yuck.

The Nigerian scammers are probably smart too

I'm from ghana and the weather is ok

I've noticed that most of the photos are from good looking gay dudes and the women are drawn in by their kind eyes & warm smile. Their misspelled romantic words are over the top and their tales of woe don't fool me. Turn the tables on these Fraudsters and get upset with them when they won't lend you $$

They go after anyone old male, female, gay, straight

Lol. Maybe you should try calling him, " my queen".

LMAO

Then you need a new husband!😁

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Right? I think they tap out their 401K and mortgage their homes etc.

Pocket change.

No, stupid and GREEDY people get scammed.

People need to stop trusting strangers on the internet. Most people that contacts you on social media are scammers.

It’s sad

I wonder how hard they worked for it

@@lauragriffin6512 Say it louder for the dummies in the back!

nowadays "chatting online" = "dating", I guess.

Yeah i also don't get the grasp of online dating someone you never met. I understand the concept of dating apps, the person is to connect you with possible dates like a "matchmaker", that's exactly what online dating apps are "matchmakers". After being matched both can talk to know about each other and move things to a real date. From thay moment it's not about the app anymore. I would only consider "online dating" if i was in a long distance relationship for some real reason, like my boyfriend went temporarily abroad so we set a video call and have an online "date" by chatting with each other, because meeting is not possible. Dafuk is wrong with these people that say stuff like "I'm so upset my girlfriend broke up with me. We have been dating for one year but she doesn't want to come because she lives in other country" "how did you meet?" "oh we met online but never face to face. Im so heartbroken"

Shirlaine, Yes, you are so right; writing emails and sending texts is not dating. It is merely communicating via a device. It is not a relationship. One cannot date unless she meets someone in person, and they engage in an activity. Meeting someone for coffee or tea, to me, is just a meeting--much like a job interview--so that I can determine if he merits further time and consideration. For a real date, the man needs to take the time to plan an interesting event/activity. Natalia

@Darla Lett Yes, and with a pen pal, at least you know where she/he lives--unlike these scammers!

This part! Exactly...smh

I know. So weird how she keeps saying ‘he is very intelligent…’. Well yeah.

Yes, very true. Many get in to the top grad schools in America and get jobs at top tier firms.

XD

It’s a shame they cannot use their intelligence for positive things instead of scamming vulnerable people - scum bags

Good point, anyone can be a good business person but yes I would never get into business with anyone I don't know

Don't this want you to throw your PC out the door!!

@@vr7317 I BLOCKED him 😂😂HAVE A GREAT DAY and STAY SAFE 🍎🇺🇸

@@vr7317 Listen, I am not going to argue with you. I am far from a SCAMMER DARLING. The TRUTH hurts. I SUED the United States Government for racial discrimination and WON OKAY. It’s documented. BASS v TANOUE, DC 2001. Good Bye ✌️

@@marybass5412 The scamming has F All to do with racial discrimination. It is purely about who the scammer is - not what bloody colour their skin is.

@@charliebrown7904 IF you SAY so…..A GODDAMN SCAMMER is a SCAMMER my FRIEND. Go tell that HORSE SHIT to someone ELSE! The United States Government SCAMMERS, scammed me out of my RIGHTFUL promotions for 12 years. A FEDERAL jury verdict was in my FAVOR, DARLING!

@@marybass5412 Maybe you should work for Catfished they can do with your intelligence

I think she might mean her intelligence might be below his.

Can you imagine that brainless statement? She's a nitwit.

No wonder she got scammed.

Maybe she has been watching other tv shows warning about catfishing. Dr Phil always used to point out weird spelling etc and telling people to look out for that because the scammer was frequently from a non-english speaking country.

Totally agree. Why wouldn’t they be ‘very intelligent’? Weird attitude.

Exactly, I wonder how scammer tell their children & wife what their jobs or earning coming from?! Thru cheat & scam of others… how can all family member eat & drink peacefully or the money belong to other woman bloody sweats pocket!? They simple use lying fake emotion robbed! That is why the scamming inherit one generation to next generation it is the curse from GOD, they can never see the light!? How shameful!

I mostly agree with you. Yet grown people willingly give away their life savings. How can they be so gullible at this time in their lives? I agree that the scammers are the scum of the earth. Absolutely 💯 but many of these victims won't accept that they are being scammed, even after Catfish shows them proof. They shouldn't be online. And I hope that the scammers get what they deserve! Evil

They will be very happy with stolen money. Look at human traffickers, slavers, bank robbers, burglars, tax evaders like Trump ( he was happy we elected him President). Drop the juvenile idea that evil people are unhappy.

We need to educate absolutely everyone on scams! People keep giving them money and until we stop they won't stop. There are people being held against their will in countries and made to scam! They (the scammers)are owned and sold by huge syndicates in barred buildings. This happens all over the world. If we quit sending money they can let the scammer slaves free. It is sickening

Baby: it’s spelled VAIN. And it’s okay to assume that people who are scamming widows and widowers out of money instead of finding any other way to make money are not intelligent. Maybe it’s naive but not racist or a sin. Can we not assume she was referring to the SCAMMER part of the equation? Or have we all completely lost our ability for reason and understanding?

When she said he’s intelligent she probably meant he speaks proper english, she said she didn’t notice spelling errors in his texts

It’s unfortunate that so many old people lack wisdom

its like going from the ropers to mr. furley.

Thank you so much!

I say the same.

It's her racial bias coming through.

@@kenbob1071 has nothing to do with race. Stop it. Naive people assume someone willing to scam widows out of millions must not be able to make money the honest way. Is that so bad? You knew what she meant, but everyone wants to jump on the R-Train because it feels fun.
