Cuz hes a simp

He's lonely. And wants to be loved 💔

Can you guys please do a quick follow-up on him down the road. Please guys! I want to know that he has come out of this a stronger person and has hopes and dreams for the future

People pay for fantasy all the time in various different ways. This is just another example.

Depression and no self esteem. He said he is a lady's man but he got taken for all he had worked for.

LMAO 🤣🤣🤣

Lmmfaooooooo

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😅😅😅😅😅

HIM: "Should I send the stack of gift cards to the funeral home or to you directly my queen?" So sad😂

A giant humongous red flag. I didn't pay one penny for anything medically related when I was in the military.

@@dennykeaton9701 Yup. My sister just left the Navy after 10 years. Tricare takes care of all that stuff.

& no money??

@@JaimeMesChiens He obviously didn't do basic homework. Sad

@@JaimeMesChiensbesides that its only a six hour drive

😂😂😂

He might. Just too much

So many have said this and all I can think of is come on....jails do not let you have your phone

Also ik stuff gets in but this is different

Also u only need commissary.He could ask which jail she’s in to send money there.

Well they can get a tablet

You can now text...they get tablets

Yes, the military covers all healthcare needs

Active members yes. But there are way too many homeless vets out there. Republicans cutting funding to veterans is a travesty. They give great lip service to the armed forces. But what they do vs what they say are at complete odds.@@chezshirecat1872

​@@chezshirecat1872They will even cut your dong off and give you tatas now 😂

Apparently.

There are so many out there that don't know what the military provides and the scammers bank on this...

He’s an incel.

😂 Facts

@@katywild4777 Whats that even supposed to mean or add value to anything? If you have nothing useful to say, sometimes you should just shut up.

@@Jesus.Christ106ok “Jesus Christ”🤓

@@Jesus.Christ106you must be an incel too, because that’s exactly what he is which is why he’s willing to engage in risky/harmful behavior in hopes of some attention from a woman 😂

He does? The first 2 mins was him explaining how he helps his father.

Hahaha... you beat me to it!!

I know right….😂😂😂😂

I wanted to die of cringe when he said that.

@@Anna.T. So true!! 😂 It might take me longer to recover from the cringe, than it will for him having being catfished!

This is the best comment ever! Dude needs to not only have 1 seat but several seats. The delusion is real

yes and he mentioned he wants a woman who goes 3 times a week into gym... So he wants a superfit woman while himself doesn't look superfit, sorry.

​@marthas.4456 Chances are he has over-looked at least one lovely woman, who works near him in the hospital because "Maria" fits the image he wants .

Yes ! And I don't feel bad because he said when he was younger he could've settled down but he couldn't stop chasing other women.

Some of these vulnerable people have underlying issues. He definitely does.

He is an old playa who played out. 😂

You said what I was saying!

Yes, girl!!! He lost me before the 5 minute mark... One thing to be a "reformed" womanizer, but his reasoning was his friends were settling down and he "needed someone who appreciates him". WHAT? That's not reform, that's peer pressure and way too much self involvement. Man thinks he's God's gift.

Isn't it what women advice each other? To go 304 till 30 and then settle for "high value man"? 😂😂😂

💯

​@gennarosavastano9424 it's clear you do not have much experience with women. 😂😂😂😂

I agree. The people being scammed are deeply entrenched and don't shift gears. More emphasis on who is really behind all of the "romance" might be beneficial.

😂😂😂😂 that irritates me..

I agree! But it’s a very delicate situation, some ppl end up killing themselves over this. I suppose they’re trying to be as understanding as possible to these delusional ppl.

That's biggest fail with catfished team, every damn time they pussyfoot around the fact the hey you're paying a black dude to talk to you while he's laughing his Nigerian ass off at you. They are way easy with these folks, it doesnt get through to them

Yeah I was waiting for them to ask him if he has ever heard her voice

@beaniemac 👍 i agree with you , totally absurd 🤦🏻‍♀️ but as we can see people fall for that 😥

Sorry im unable to push like on your comment my finger is broke😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

And they absolutely do not cared what happened to you. Even if you end up on the streets they will still try to get money out of you.

the idea is, if it is that obvious and a bozo falls for it, it can be milked to the bone

So many deaths 😢 😪 wow what a story

Many of these ‘victims’ want to keep the fantasy going by not knowing the real identities.

Right! It boggles my mind that the very tool these people are being scammed with is the same one they could just as easily use to reveal the truth and prevent all of this. I want to believe that delusion is a bigger psychological problem than we treat it as, ‘cuz it’s crazy what people believe!

He paid for the experience 😅

He didn't want to know the truth. He wanted to keep the fantasy going.

@@DB-vt1kk Yup! I always ponder why, because hookers are so much cheaper and will provide so much more 😂

Desperation leads to making poor choices... 🤦🏽‍♀️

I be mad when someone ask me for $20 for gas before I meet them! Oh hell na!

lol@@CozumelTy

Desperation meets Low IQ

I think being very desperate myself in the past, i can understand why he did what he did he wanted to believe it was true and was in denial, it’s much more easier and less painful than reality..

Dude would have been much better off if he hired an escort once a week for 24hrs. He could hire a woman who looks exactly how he wants, she would be willing to go out with him and have sex with him and pretend to be his gf. Even if he did this once a week, he would still be better off financially- and he would have a real human that he could have the physical relationship that he wants.

I was shocked when they said his age. I’m 42 and I thought he was way older than me

He's spent years as a carer working double shifts. He's lead a difficult life. It takes a toll after a while.

Agreed 😢

It’s mind boggling that no one around him told him he wasn’t exercising good judgment. We have seen people on here that ignore advice from friends and family, but he doesn’t seem like he would have done that. I think he would have cut them off, but he was sunk into it and had no discernment whatsoever. He genuinely seems to have not had anyone around to have pointed out some very obvious red flags with his scammers stories.

@@jaeshasway I agree

It's really hard to understand. This guy is my exact age and I would never...I know anyone can be scammed but I see it happening to a lot of boomers (my parent's age)--and then seeing a guy my age was a bit jarring...

Loneliness is a epidemic

​@@kimmi2662"an"

@@kimmi2662 Agreed! I'm in the process of consoling one person who sent over @5,000 to help a lover and keeping another from traveling to meet the person of their dreams. It's strange how no matter how many family members are around that longing for sweet words and companionship is so strong. Just be safe out there, EVERYONE. Cause it could happen to anyone!

He will spend that but not buy a ticket from NY to Virginia to try a visit her? Even when she was is the hospital?

A very nice guy and deserves to be happy. I hope he files for bankruptcy it will help some what.

That’s no surprise when he’s given away 67k in just 13 months. Who wouldn’t be seriously depressed about that?

@@cultfiction3865that was incredibly stupid even if she was real.

​@@epoh8698Yeah, because everyone else should pay for his stupidity, right?

Agreed. He's $67k in debt. There's no way he could afford or justify the cost of competent mental health care with that hanging over his head. It's nice to see the hosts making sure he's ok after the informational call about the scammer too. It's really easy to look down on someone for what we can see is an obvious scam but love makes you do stupid things and these scammers manipulate people for a living. Not being good with technology and a little naive doesn't mean you deserve to have your life destroyed like a $67k debt can do. I really like this channel. Good vibes and they're actually doing good out there.

Exactly!

He was referring to how he acted when he was young, not how he thinks of himself currently, which I think is reasonable. A lot of young ppl are like that.

@@AmbassadorKat”…so I guess you could call me a Casanova”. Present tense.

You're a poet and you don't know it!

@@knowbodiesfull5768 thanks 😊

Chances are he has probably never been on airplane. He probably has never moved out of his parents’ house.

The problem is, even if he found out the actual cost of the flight, these scumbags will come up with "tangible" reasons for the additional cost. The secret is never send money to anyone without knowing who they are and certainly not an online 'friend'.

I think he is on the spectrum. In other words. He is SLOW

I don’t think in his case it’s the “not being alone” he told that he had women. Probably tought with the wrong “head.” I am forever alone and really alone without even friends and would never never fall for something like this

What??? I paid 1300.00 for a round trip ticket from Tampa Florida to Egypt.

Def agree 👍🏼 ❤

Not a victim. He’s a volunteer.

I’d be worried that he’d harm himself

They all never shut up about how smart they are. They all need a financial guardian

exactly! I am lost in words and misery that anyone could do that to a Stranger. But is unable to help someone that they know.smh

67,000 USD for someone you never met

@@lukebignell7846 right how can you call someone like that normal 😑 I understand sometimes somebody needs help but send them thousands of dollars I’ll won’t even do that not even for my family

​@@hoosierbaddy3052You seem a bit triggered. Why? Offended? because you're that type as well?

Omg I just heard about that today I was shocked.

and the people doing is have no remorse

😢😢😢

What the fuck? There's a special place in hell for those scammers. Damn. That's horrific.

What is sad is his compromising photos are likely still out there forever

His father AND himself fgs! Going without eating for another bogus airline ticket? Someone needed to 5150 them, he and his dad, into forced care. You need a 72 hour lockdown when you cannot care for yourself any longer. Depriving themselves of insulin or sustenance, is borderline medical abuse. Mentally incompetent to be a caregiver, that’s for sure.

@hoosierbaddy3052 I disagree only on one part.... The son is a grown ass adult man. If he wants to give his money away and starve ...stupid but that's HIS business to do. His father, on the other hand, didn't sign up to be starved because of his son's make believe lover.

Unbelievable 😮

it's called loneliness and desperation. I knew Michael in real life, he's a really good dude. Don't judge if you've never been in his situation. I always felt he was seeking companionship and lonely, and when i say companionship, i meant females, not male. Cause hanging out with guys is different than having a life partner to lean on to and give your life too. I think he desperately wanted it, i felt it, but i never spoke to him on it. Never thought this would happen to him, but he did seem naïve at times.

@dumamay283 Well, Michael's Friend, I am going to double down on what I commented, and since you are such an advocate for him why didn't you help pull him out of this romance scam? Why didn't you help your friend meet women in person? And mainly even if he wanted to continue with this online "lady" why did his father have to suffer for Michaels "loneliness and desperation?"🤔

Finally a good comment !

I'm a home health aide and most elderly parents these days are abandoned

He actually said he approached "her" first. The scammer just seized the opportunity

Yeah I always get bummed when the scammed person isn't a total narcissist lol

I concur 💯

I know, 67k, very sad.

All the victims are the same he's naive and delusional i dont feel bad for him

​@@JaimeMesChiens I get your points but I feel you should've posted this on the main comments instead of under someone who had been catfished before lol idk

@@Barbieinawheelchair Tbf mine was a lot, lot more complicated. The pictures weren't reverse searchable (or at least werent with the tools available then), and it was someone who wasn't seeking anything financial. They were pretending to be someone else to manipulate a lot of people for attention. It's a really really long story.

@@JaimeMesChiens A lot of this seems blatantly obvious to anyone and everyone with common sense, however usually these people manipulate you hard into doubting your own thought process. They gaslight you.

@@JakeSPuwuowo69 dang that's crazy. I'm glad you didn't lose any money although I'm very sorry for the emotional damage.

Avoid internet dating !! Meet women locally

​@@lindafrabizio2910local women are on local apps. Women do more paid and unpaid activities than men yet men can't be bothered to participate in those types of activities, or they separate women in to "ho material" and "wife material," and act surprised why they can't hold down the relationship they want

I do not feel bad for any of the people on this channel still so far. How dumb can you be? At a certain point, if you fall for it you deserve it.

the worst thing that can happen is his heart was ripped so hard that he jadedly ditches his natural tendencies to do good unto others.

My woman is also feisty with front desk people :D

Even if he’s totally gullible, it’s ridiculous that he puts her needs (someone he has never met and who ghosts him) ahead of his dad who has medical and financial problems and who depends on his support.

it’s called mental illness unfortunately… some people are very lonely and the connection they get from the scammer albeit fantastical and unrealistic is the closest thing they will get to affection and connection. the guy literally said the longest relationship he has in his whole life was 6 months… probably when he was 18? recipe for disaster

He's mentally unwell.

@@JaimeMesChiensreally!

He said he has diabetes and wanted someone who was HEALTH FOCUSED. Sheesh 🙄

He also said his MUM (before she died) wanted him to be with someone .. do you even listen? 🤦🏼‍♀️

If they don’t have FaceTime, there’s always Zoom or Microsoft Teams. If they don’t “cam up”, or the video on the cam seems off (scammers are using AI to make it look like the person on the video), RUN!

Exactly. And his dad who relies on his support!

​@@Sashazurright!Dad should of came first before he decided to send money.

I can relate to his sad story. Emotional emptiness is eating him out. Folks don't judge people. If you were in his shoes and saw things from his own perspective, I'm quite sure you'd have understood why he acted so!

There's an old English proverb which begins: "A fool and his money...."

Damn. Teachers are so underpaid it’s pathetic. Hope that changes one day soon.

There are too many useless males on this planet who should have never been birthed in the first place. We are killing Earth by continuing to produce males into existence. Natural way is that the vast majority of males never have access to a woman and die a frustrated virgin. His late mom is at fault for putting unrealistic expectation onto him to get a woman. This guy will never be rich enough to adequately provide for a family. He needs to keep to himself and live in piece. Forget women. You don’t deserve them because you haven’t worked hard enough to get and keep a woman. Sorry! No woman owes him her kitty just simply for existing. Do I feel bad for him on a human level? Yes. It’s not his fault his father impregnated his mother. It’s sad that he was born into this world to suffer for decades. But life isn’t fair and he should be greatful that at least he’s not homeless. Just cut the idea of dating out of your life and you’ll always have enough food for yourself and your dad.

Desperation, but he's also a bad person. He neglected his dad

@@bldontmatter5319 He did not neglect his father.

So sad

He wanted to help a super model type woman instead of his father who he knows needs it. That's not charitable, that's self serving.

He could be neurodivergent

@@Ddj_00That has nothing to do with relationships.

@@Ddj_00That might be a possibility, but being neurodivergent does not necessarily mean unintelligent. Because neurodivergence encompasses so many different things, autistic might be a better term if that’s what you were thinking because about 70% of people with autism have an intellectual disability. The remaining 30% range from normal to genius level intelligence. Many people with higher IQ’s are neurodivergent because now things like ADHD, dyslexia and Aspergers are lumped in there too. He’s definitely naive, probably too trusting, maybe not so bright and not very discerning. Whether or not he’s autistic on some scale is hard to say. People can be not too intelligent without being diagnosed as autistic or having any learning disability at all. It’s shocking because 30 minutes on google could have debunked the majority of the lies the scammer told him. Another 30 minutes on the phone could have debunked the rest. We all need to stay proactive in seeking out information and practice confirming what we hear and read when we are being solicited even by people we think we should trust. Even people with lower IQ’s can have an innate curiosity and a desire to ask questions and seek out information. So why he didn’t and others like him that fall prey to scammers is mind boggling.

he was too busy being a playboy he said,. it's not his fault

A 6 month long relationship is an achievement nowdays. 😂

No! People need to not be so dumb. I'd scam his dumbest too if he let me

If it could be done they would have done it already 😂

You say "we" but are you actually taking action to stop scammers or are you just virtue signaling?

Nah, this is life's lessons. Lol. May the smartest man win.

please describe how in any plane of existence that could be a possibility? with a brain cell you would see that its about people not sending their own money to people they never met,, to say stop thieves is one thing that can be reduced, but they are not thieves,,,, people are willingly sending money to them by choice,, seriously bruh

My round trip flight from Tampa to Beijing was $640

Exactly 😮

First class

Also why do these people send the scammer the plane tickets or the money. They can just buy it and have it waiting at the gate. If scammer doesn't show up they can usually get at least a partial refund if not a full one.

First class tickets can go for that much for a domestic flight.

That's the problem. I understand this stuff happens, but you have to be careful with your heart and feelings and not let them get in the way. Love is blind and he wanted that fantasy, but there were so many obvious signs there that I'm shocked he didn't see something was up sooner. If someone keeps making excuses for not wanting to see me or excuses in general, move the hell on. Like, did this guy even have a phone call with her?

A single person, if they live on base can put away a lot of money.
