You guys should do a follow up on her case I wonder if she was able to get any recourse started :)

😂

This is why I refuse to feel bad for these people and find it highly entertaining.not that I support what scammers are doing it. But when delusion, arrogance and entitlement is combined with these people my empathy fly out of the window

Try compassion.

The victims of the Green River Killer would ask him, when they climbed in his truck, "Are YOU The Green River Killer?" He'd smile sweetly and say, "well no". Then he strangled them & threw their bodies out in the deep woods of the Pacific Northwest

I’m a Prince in Nigeria. Please send me money…🖕

She is selling her soul for a fantasy

i had a friend who you could not get blood out of a stone from her, then she started online dating and fell for a man from Gambia she is 59 he is 25 she is convinced he loves her she remortgaged her home sent him thousands and from her savings, sad things is she has 4 kids and she has never done much for them as adults they worked themselves to afford what they have lonely old age awaits her

Been divorced and single 30 years- concentrating on daughter and grandson, helping as much as i can because they are my family and love me every single day -in person! And these ones impersonating our brave military are the worst. Ladies, tell these scumbags to gth and concentrate on your families!

Narcissist

@@slinkiegirl2001 so she still dating?

plus the button they press to make them hand over money is to tell them they're beautiful when they know they're not

Men are getting fked over too. They’re just as gullible

Being desperate does this to a person lol.

At least that’s “affectionate.” I’ve seen episodes where they say “he said all the right things, so sweet like ‘how was your day?’” Then they start showing string of messages and it’s nothing - “what did you eat today?”

Im taking notes.. Seems like few if any cons get convicted because they over seas...if i could sweet talk a dozen women like this id be a multi millionaire in no time!!

Youd think it would be common knowledge

The people who would fall for it wouldn't be the type to read or understand your comment

Thank you! These scammers say this often

God love her for being so stupid scammed twice it's unreal how naive old people can be

No matter what you try to teach them… they still don’t listen and they will get scammed… I know a woman who has been scammed more than 20 times and now she believes she’s going to be a millionaire by the investment of foreign currency, Iraq Dinar is supposed to reevaluate… but that’s been over 20 years since she has gotten into this scam.. hasn’t made car payments for 9 months and hides the cars behind her barns and now they’re cutting her power and she’s owes $5k because she’s waiting for her millions of Iraq Dinar

Well, I'm so extremely charming and beautiful that hunky men want to marry me all the time - only based on my blurry, unfocused photo and my short 3-words responses. No red flags there, right? 🙃

I know it sounds cruel but I agree 3 times scammed now when will u learn ,,, god bless her.

Do these people own a mirror?

Since I've been watching these videos, I really don't feel as badly for the victims as I used to. Especially the ones who have people telling them that it's a scam.

My husband, of over 30 years is very ill. I am afraid he might die every single night. I fear I won't survive if I lose him, but I have to be here for our son. He's the only man I'll ever love. If the worst happens, I will be as vulnerable as hell. You don't have to feel sorry for them, but don't judge someone who has lost their life partner.

She changed it into SAD for life!!

She is lustful the more money she sends she thinks they will come and marry her

Im a male stripper.. For all that money she wasted she could have hired me and got some real action

She is addicted.

Yes. Terrible... 🤦🏻‍♀️

She said she lives in a fantasy world… so there you go

My queen, my love, I want to marry you, can you send me money….. grrrr

Run lol

Yes my Queen and have you eaten today that’s the most irritating stupid question I have heard or what will you eat later

Please stop giving money to this trashy scammer

Notice how they are all OLD, white, Trump voting Southern Conservatives?

Right?

Delusional

It’s called being lonely. Middle aged and lonely.

It’s called pay for play

When your young and good looking sex is free...when your old and ugly you gotta pay for it...before id send money for nothing id hire sex workers and have real fantasies

Damn!

😂😂😂

I have downloaded this but had not gotten around to watching it. Will do so ASAP!

It's unbelievable how they never learn! I won't even add anyone on Facebook that I don't know, even if we have 22 mutual friends.

I saw that, too. Who takes a romantic vacation to Ethiopia and not only stays the entire time when he didn't show up but then goes on to Hong Kong to meet him? I have been blessed to travel to many countries and many times alone for business. But, even with an agenda for business, I educated myself about where I was going. If I was going to countries or cities with reputations for certain crimes, I was vigilant. Even meeting people on planes can be suspect. In this day and age everyone must be vetted to end up in your personal life. It is sad but true. That woman on the show had a defence as to be convicted the person must know they were carrying drugs to be convicted. Since HK has gone back to China, I suspect that will be very difficult to prove. Interestingly enough, when I went to Thailand on business I was warned not to buy customized shoes, clothes with and without BUTTONS, small decorative pieces of furniture, statues or anything to be sent on to my home. They hide drugs in the buttons, hollowed out heels of shoes, in hems of clothing, in linings and handles of handbags and a million places decorative items. Once they have your address, when you get home you are burglerized. Or, if you buy several things from one store, to make packing to leave easier, they provide a free piece of luggage with everything packed. Just grab the bag and go. When you get to the baggage claim, your souvenir bag wasn't there. It was long gone the min it hit the belt or was relayed on to places unknown by a very well compensated luggage handler. Unbelievable.

😂😂😂😂😂

"Just send it to California." 😂

Hahaha she’s Not thinking 😂

Low intelligence.

She's so desperate for love. Truly sad.

Some people should just be banned from online dating, holy shit

She is also having multiple online relationships st the same time. She doesn't really have clean hands.

This is so true. She had 40 years and that should be enough. Some people never found their soulmate lol

It’s astonishing how desperate they are to have a “romantic” partner. Such intensity is supposed to diminish once the reproductive years have past by, as it’s entirely redundant. However, these sad older folk are clearly crippled by this inappropriate yearning, which is unfortunately accompanied by a propensity for delusional thinking and cognitive deficiencies. They absolutely require the supervision of a competent legal guardian (selected by a _competent_ advocate, not themselves). BTW, I wouldn’t be surprised to discover that some of these victims are suffering from significant age-related mental decline, including things like mini-strokes and dementia. It’s a bit hard to believe that they’ve successfully accumulated wealth throughout their lives whilst being so gullible and naive. A recent impairment of mental faculties is a reasonable explanation for some cases.

You're right. But I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to have a partner, however these victims need to do two things: go out and meet real people face to face and be realistic about the kind of people who are will be attracted to you.

Because loneliness is painful.

@@ngahuiroimatanutira-langda4153 agreed

It was the same guy.

It is very likely the same scammer with all three.

Well I don't know if it was the same scammer, once scammed you get placed on a list as you've demonstrated that you're scammable.

I know. I was thinking "don't tell him that" that you're been scammed, you just identify yourself as a potential target.

@@tarablue4472 if he’s not the same guy he got her from the suckers’ list.

I can almost guarantee you this scammer knew of the life insurance money and picked her as a victim. Also I believe these scammers put people on lists. You’ll find once you’ve been scammed before you’ll be contacted over and over, and if you cut them off immediately you’ll hardly ever be contacted because they put you on a list of not likely to fall for the scams

You can't control stupid!

​@britishvlog9481same...the Nigerians probably need the money more anyway 🤣

I'm glad my mom passed before my dad. I have a feeling she would have fallen for romance scams too. Combination of being naive, emotional, and co-dependent.

​@@jimmylittle9393oi they gotta eat too 😂

59 going on 44

She's such a dreamer

My middle aged daughter doesn’t know mine.

Is the social secury number so important? I never lived in the US. ^^ In my country, we have a national number that no one but the person herself is supposed to know. But even if someone discovers that number, he can't do anything, because the ID card is still mandatory (and making a fake ID card is as hard as making a fake bank card, because it's an electronic card too - if the devices can't read them, it's not considered valid). If someone steals your ID (therefore, discover your national number, that is writted on the card), he still can't do anything, because the ID Card is protected by a code (again, like a bank card). The scammer CAN'T: - Ask a new card pretending being you and having lost the card, or that the card has been stolen. Because, the first step to have a new card (no matter because you lost it or it has been stoled) is going to the police office to be identified. - Ask a new code, pretending being you and having forgotten it. Because: 1) the new code will be sent at your official adresse per mail (and he can't pretend having moved out, because he will be required to go to the local administration, where he will be identified, to change the adress). 2) You have to go to your local administration (where you're identified) with the mail you recieved to activate your code. Furthermore, the national databanks have your ID photo. So, if the scammer tries to make a fake card with his photo instead of yours, it would be immediately noticed by the administration. :)

I thought so too. Made me mad

Yeah i feel like the producers haven't quite got the hang of this part of the reveal. They always make it a bit confusing , in my opinion anyway. These victims are confused enough !

Yes it's very disorienting when they say it like that.

@@ebert8756yes yes yes. Agree 💯. They describe confusing facts and connections, talk in technical terms about VOIP and IP addresses to these poor suckers. There are so many better ways to reveal the truth and give the victims / targets a clear picture of the scam being perpetrated. And they don’t also explain to both the men and women being scammed, that the soul mate the think they found is probably an African teenager . That will get rid of any delusions in a flash if they still harbor the desire to keep communicating with them and sending money lol 😂

They don't need a conservatorship, because when all is said and done they're already broke after foolishly sending all of their savings to a scammer.

At the first faintest hint of this behavior from either one of my parents I would be at an attorney pulling out all the stops doing everything possible to prevent them from making decisions for themselves and put them on an allowance. People work hard all their lives, that is supposed to build generational wealth, not be sent to another country.

I can't believe how naive these people are!

@@lindaarranga4536 She is mentally ill/addicted, like a Gambler! .Cannot stop! This is shocking! Why her children don't help and call for an adviser/therapist/lawer! Chrrrist!

I agree😢 when these people keep giving away money knowing they're being scammed. Time for conservatorship.

Great job! That inspires me 😊

That was time and money well spent! Some of these women don't have teeth or ever tweezed their eyebrows. And for God's sake, stop filming these women from under their chins. No one looks good from that angle.

I'm also 60s. Moving a few years ago to a large city by myself was extremely challenging & I still haven't found my dream home, but I have found excellent teacher ls & good groups for 2 hobbies that I really love.

@@elipotter369 Now that's impressive! Don't give up looking for what you deserve. You worked too hard not to see the reward.

@@karenbeee4568 Thank you for your kind encouragement. :-) I still working towards better & hope one day to have a home & place I feel really happy with. Even though I'm almost 65, I think: "what's the alternative? Just give up & sit around"?

😂hahahaha

Three times a Loser!

Speaks to addiction to fantasy!

She will repeat. 😅

I just started watching omg what stupid

Stupid is as stupid does!

This lady needs both empathy but a stern talking to. You got scammed out of money and lost your property that you AND your husband worked for. Ok, she was inexperienced, lonely, vulnerable etc. But then continued with another criminal. Please, people, think with your head not your heart and below. Using your husband's life insurance too? Emailing a stanger her SSN. When that's a number one NO rule that has been around.

Scam you once, shame on the scammer; scam you twice, shame on you.

How should i feel sorry for this woman............. i cant

IKR - it BLOWS my mind.

She is also absolutely hideous

Dumb as a box of rocks.

Yes she is.

Not nice

​@Suzanne Porterfield it's nicer to send scammers money. You're right 😂😂😂

Try imagine losing a partner of 40 years, and the state of insanity that would put you in. That will help you understand, and yes, it quite likely is partly the dopamine which is devastated in serious grief, that predisposes one to this type of process addiction.

I mean, it kind of is. It's a fantasy. She's lonely, and so is desperate to believe these men who shower her with praise and attention are real.

These are the kind of women who live vicariously through torrid Romance novels. This is the same thing only non fiction. A total fantasy and they know it.

I can't wrap my head round how someone could fall for this once, let alone twice. I mean these ppl are so gullible/nieve it's unreal

Looking for acceptance love belonging you’d be shocked at how lonely some ppl are the right scammer can push the right buttons to build her trust. Ppl fall inlove in the mind and this is what the scammers work on building trust and appearing loyal and constantly understanding all the normal things we expect from a relationship but most ppl are selfish but the heart wants what it wants and will somehow see it in their web of lies

Stupidity

Because she is not very bright...😮

Yeah, I always imagine a good looking, fit guy waking up next to a granny like this 😂😂😂if he was real

I'm trying to wipe that image out of my brain.

It's utter madness. What makes people that are well over aged, usually overweight & take zero pride in their appearance think that some gorgeous younger thing wants to marry them. It's utter madness.

​@@Beegraham2569 Someone said the reason these old women think they could be attractive to a young, cute guy is because they are narcissists. Sounds correct!! They can't see what they really look like.

Yup. Gross. What the hell is wrong with these old women??

So sad.

Twice.

@@FC-hj9ub Unbelievably stupid.

Some guy I knew would give me anything I wanted. I told him not to because I was just using him but of he still wanted to I wasn't got to refuse it. He said it didn't matter. That was on him. I was honest with him.

that is called being scammed...huh

My condolences about your husband. May he rest in peace.

My husband died suddenly. We married as teens, married 23 years. I can't imagine disrespecting and dishonoring him to give all he worked for to another man, especially a stranger.

It's also PATHETIC how she went to do this shit BEFORE HER HUSBAND WAS EVEN PUT IN THE GROUND. like my god, do you not need some time to think after 41 years of marriage?

​@@cococock2418She is terrified of being alone. My fiance's mother is like that. Ever since his mom and dad divorced she dated horrible guys. When my fiance was 11, she was with a 19 year old who was bipolar and abusive. My fiance has lifelong claustrophobia because he rolled him up in a rug, kicked him, then sat on top of it so he was stuck in the rug. He smashed his Xbox because he accidentally ran over a sock with a push mower. By the time we met, she was dating a guy my fiance's age who refused to work and just played video games and took Xanax all day. The only thing I will give him credit for is that he cleaned the house. After him she dated my fiance's dad's friend and she is still with him, unfortunately. He once called my fiance's sister a bitch in front of me when she was 12. I lost it, her mom said nothing. He once locked her out of the house in the snow while she only had pajamas on to "teach her a lesson" You'd be surprised what people will endure or let their kids endure just to not be alone!

Consider yourself very lucky to have a fulfilled life. There are people who are lonely and emotionally yearning for romantic love. That is the simplest reason why these romance scams exist. It is not rocket science.

Never met? Gimme a break! 😂

the truth. the reshape and come back for part 2

Definitely. Never let a great cash cow get away. These scammers generally have 20 or 30 women on the go. Big money.

Yes, I suspect it was the same scammer.

I get where you're coming from but your comment makes it seem like you're being forced to watch this channel/be subscribed 😂

Hot guys with high paying jobs 😂 😂😂 0 compassion for these narcissistic gold diggers . Victims of rape and murder have all my compassion.

Why should you give money to family? It is your life. These people are crazy and deserve it.

She has the hots for handsome young men. It would have been cheaper to pay for male prostitutes.

She would have been better spending the sums of money in a total makeover and have some decent teeth. She looks older than her actual years. And she looks way overweight and unfit. She doesn’t seem to have looked after herself at all. So it is delusional to crave for a fit young man. What is she thinking of!!?

Read my comment in the comment section... You don't know anything.

L O L Not if you live down in the ‘holler ‘

Narcissism and delusion are quite the toxic cocktail now aren't they!

I used to come across these fake accounts all the time on dating apps - they are probably a good majority of profiles... and they are SO OBVIOUS. Always hot model-like guys lol... I used to model and yet even I felt like so many of these guys' photos are wayyyy out of my league. lol Meanwhile random grannies out there thinking some young looking stud with abs is somehow soooo genuinely into her even though he could probably get any woman he wanted. smh

Vanity and stupidity are a lethal combination. Doesn't she possess a mirror?

I know right. A scammer on Dr Phil admitted they target unattractive, overweight older woman and tell them they are beautiful and it's intoxicating as they have not been told that much in their lives

They are, in a way.

I’m beginning to think a lot of these women had husbands who took care of the finances and they really are clueless. Ladies (and gentlemen) learn how things work in case you are on your own one day!! This is so irresponsible

@@11Christys11Would you please tell my husband this?!? If, God forbid, something happened to him, I’d have no idea how to pay the bills. He’s always done it.

It’s maddening!

I think it’s why we see mostly older people on this show. Not knowing as much about new technology puts them at risk for being an easy victim. It’s terrible that people take advantage of them.

​@@mochimochi7669 I think they target older people beacuse they have money or savings. People who just lost their husband or getting a divorce or just lonely. They are the best targets for these romance scammers

Because they are dumb.

The level of patience of the entire Scamfish team is incredible, especially when the victims promise to stop sending money then do it anyway or, in Debra's case, when she concealed that there was a THIRD man she was in contact with.

It will never end...

Some have.. im thinking about one who was killed

It’s perpetual victim mentality, they aren’t (may never be) ready to take ownership of their literal self

They would settle for just one night of a steamy roll in the hay. Look at the bodies of those guys to figure out their preference.

Some do in the form of suicide. Search on YT for one such story featured on W5: "The Invisible Man: Uncovering a global online romance scam"

@@QueenPcontrolstheuniverse And I’m thinking about the woman who lost close to a million dollars. She committed suicide. She was a beautiful woman, truly. It’s one of the only times that I’ve said, damn you’ about anyone. He ruined her financially and every which way.

@@themudpit621 Yes, I know exactly what you mean. My (ex) husband passed recently and we were still friends and went out together.

@@nineteenfortyeight6762 Your Mom was a good, selfless woman, and raised a good person ❤️

They were clearly scam calls; IRS and Amazon scams are very common and well known. They should have addressed that. Even if she doesn't get into another "romantic" online relationship, she's an easy target for every other scam under the sun and seems to believe everything she's told.

Good one.

Worse than gambling or drugs.

This, and they never fall soooooo in LOVE with a taxi driver, mail carrier or a retired guy living on Social Security.

Greed is the common denominator

​@@happyhermit3141 that's because they're that desperate

They have prepared some fake bank statements to gain trust. Look even these KZfaq MLM traders ads who show off their high earnings through an online bank account aren’t trustworthy. They’re all likely fake to get people paying into their schemes

When they see that the person has so much money in their bank account even though it's fake, they let their guard down. That's the tactic scammers use and I hope more and more people are catching on to these type of scams.

They might as well pay a real-life gigolo if that did that at least they get something from it.

It's more so delusions. Anything else is secondary. They're in love with a guy who doesn't exist lol. They're on a diphenhydramine/scopolamine/atropine/hyoscamine love delirium trip.

I once paid a man to talk to me. He was a lawyer and was working for ME, not the other way around.

@@summerdowlig exactly!this is craziness

These people are all a bit 'slow' that is why they are picked. You never see a smart pretty bubbly one getting scammed this way.

Yes she is 😂

@reynalindstrom2496 She obviously is. But I hope on a top of that, she’s not also prideful and arrogant to admit it and seek help.

Seriously! I like my men less attractive than me. 100%. I like to know my man is overjoyed to be with me & finds me very attractive. I’m probably a narcissistic asshole idk. But if someone out of my league looks at me…meh. No thanks.

Same! Can’t see the appeal at all !

Across the board, the big common denominators with scam victims is a total lack of awareness. They all overestimate their level in appearance, personality (or lack thereof), real age, physical fitness, sex appeal, intellectual ability and gullibility!! It's mind boggling to me. When someone way out of ur league with age, appearance and lifestyle hits on u....then needs lots of money, but they have millions in the bank, and calls u his 👑....just believe him, because dreams really do come true! Said Walt Disney, maybe??

I know right, I figured that out very early in the game! Thank hell I've never been lucky enough to land anyone of such 'physical attributes' otherwise I wouldn't even know what hit me!

Yes guys to can be very insecure with women they think are out of there field, but they get sucked in online too .

Technically vanity isn't stupidity, I guess

Do you know what's stupid? Judging people you don't know and typing a cruel comment so you can somehow feel better about yourself. That's stupid.

i dont think the word stupid means what you think it does

It would be probably a lot cheaper too, take up way less time & lead to positive not negative outcomes.

Not going to cure stupidity. They can't even cure addiction, abd THAT'S a scam to even imply so.

And if they threw in some group therapy too, they might make some new friends to help ease their loneliness.

Never met? Hahahaha

Her damn giggling alone would make me want to shake her

Infuriating stupidity.

I was just thinking if I would be a bad person, i would totally do this, easy money 😅. But I feel sorry for these people. Because however stupid they act, that gives no one a right to scam these people. It's really hard to believe the stories, especially getting scammed multiple times. But the victims are hurting. Of course, some people like her really need be protected from themselves and a lot of therapy.

@@Jazzylady216 ya I agree,would never do it, we all have our blind spots no matter how s,art we think we are, these people just have a particular type of vulnerability that is easily taken advantage of by immoral people
