She gave him $83,000 just so she doesn’t have to spend Christmas and New Year alone? For $83,000 you can travel the world on a cruise ship for an entire year and you won’t be alone at all there

A wise older woman once told me, “At my age, men either want a purse or a nurse.”

Why can‘t these women say, „I will be happy to send you 15,000 but my account has been locked. Could you send me 1,500 so I can get back into my account, honey bunny?“ You know I love you, right?

She puts her foot down at $83,000 ?! Meanwhile, my daughter asks her brother for $20 and is basically interrogated. He thinks about it for 3 days and he decides she is too big of a risk.

I believe the nude photo requests are probably blackmail collateral if she refuses to pay up

Every time they say, "I want to confront him," I cringe. They do NOT care. It's the equivalent of telling a cashier you're no longer going to shop at a store. You're just a job to them. I wish there was some type of justice.

Why tf would you give thousands of your savings to somebody you never met face to face? Blows my mind.

I like it how these guys have millions, yet they can never access it.

How to know if it’s a scam? 1. Do they ask for money? 2. Do they ask for money? That’s all you need to know

“I need $15,000 to access my $4 million.” That’s not how banks work. 😂

Yet ANOTHER engineer, with a HUGE contract, stuck overseas!! Where will it end?? TRAPPED in Estambull!

I found it interesting that the show states her husband passed away in December of 2021 and the earliest entry on her spreadsheet of giving money to the scammer is on November 24th 2021. The show also states, “After a few years of grieving…”

Rule #1: No relationships with ANYONE who is not in the country. No relationships with anyone who cannot meet within 7 days. No relationships with anyone who asks for money. Period. End of discussion.

Im content with my hamster. He never asks me for money. Just snacks.

i wonder if people who fall for these scams could also fall for a politician lying to them?

She’s living in a fantasy world.

I don't understand how these people don't hear the African accent. That's such a distinctive accent!

Engineers do not pay for supplies, do not pay for labor, do not pay taxes on the job. Nope, this does NOT happen.

I am pretty sure he’s a Nigerian just from the “Hello”. 🤦‍♂️

If we felt sorry for stupid people we’d be sorry ALL the time!

He "demonstrates" that he cares. No he "tells" you. He hasnt demonstrated anything.

Please ladies, if a man is calling you a "liar" or "mean" or "manipulative" if he does not get his money, he is NOT romantic, and you're not in a "great relationship."

Had a so called friend I met online who said he was from the UK try to low key scam me. After a lot of emails and messages, he started crying about owing money to his baby's mother in a way that I could tell he wanted me to ask about so he could ask if I could send him money. I never took the bait. I just told him I would pray for him as I was also struggling financially. Didn't take long for the emails to come a halt. Good riddance. Smoked him right out of his hole.

I’m 55, have been an RN for over 30 years. The fact this woman is in the same profession as me is scary as hell. You can’t be that deluded and gullible at the same time as making sound clinical judgement and decisions about vulnerable patients. She needs medical help.

One of the biggest flags to me is when he makes HIS problem YOUR problem. He has a problem and the only solution to that problem is YOUR money. If someone approached you on the street and told you he needed ten thousand dollars because he was locked out of his account or he had an emergency medical problem or his child needed a computer for school or he needed a new cell phone or he had some legal documents that were going to cost thousands of dollars, would you just hand the ten thousand dollars over to him? Maybe I'm not a very nice person but I would try to be nice as I recommended that he go down the street to that bank on the corner and see if they would give him a loan. I've seen so many people agonize over whether someone is "real". Here's a suggestion. DO NOT SEND MONEY TO ANYONE...EVER...then it won't really matter whether he's real or not. RED ALERT: You have never even met this man. You have no idea what type of person he really is. DO NOT let him see you without your clothes. ASSUME that everything you send him will become PUBLIC DOMAIN because it very well might. If he were 16 years old (and he very well may be) it would make more sense for him to want to get ahold of some pictures of a woman in the nude but a man who is 50 to 60 years old and is asking for nude pictures from a rank stranger is just plain strange. Do not turn over anything to him that you would not want to show up on the six o'clock news! BTW, when a man tells you his account is frozen or he is STUCK in some foreign country, RUN, don't walk, in the opposite direction. The things he is saying is SCREAMING scam! He said ONE thing that is absolutely the truth and you can bet the farm that it's true. He told you he would repay you "when he sees you" and that's probably the truth but the catch is that he will NEVER see you.

these “deep” conversations they have always get me, it’s literally the most vapid surface conversations lmaoooo nothing about eachother personally. “how are you” “how did you sleep” “you are my queen” is NOT diving deep enough to learn to love someone

He’s in a country with a name he can’t even spell LMAO. Istanbul. Not “ESTAMBUL” 😂😂😂😂😂

She still doesn't grasp that this is a 17-year-old NIgerian guy who does not give two figs about her. She just thinks it's the guy she fell in love with, but he's being dishonest about his photos. They always want to "confront" the person, which to me says they STILL don't get it and STILL believe the lie.

"I have 4 million dollars in the bank...but i need you to send me money"...... makes sense.

If someone calls you babe, king or queen all the time instead of your name, its because they are scamming so many people they don't want to mess up and use the wrong name.

How can people give their life savings to someone that they have never met? It is so unfortunate that these people have so little awareness of the real world.

How the hell did they keep the straight face when she said 'he said his was at least 8 inches' is BEYOND ME 🤣🤣🤣

This woman has done so many mental gymnastics and ignored every single red flag there is.

The guy's a real conversationalist. "Hello... Babe... Yeah"

You're delusional if you think by confronting this scammer is going to make any difference to him. You are dealing with soulless individuals and they will just approach you again under a different alias because they know you are an easy target.

I’ve been single for 23 years!!!all I wanna say it’s okay to be single! Ladies u don’t need a man to feel happy! Love urself and respect urself!

You never “met” and you never had a “relationship”. What is wrong with these people?!!!

The economy in Western Africa 🌍 is booming because of people like her.

After watching all these stories i have decided to create my scammer profile as well. All the profits will be going to charity

Literally spit my drink at the 8” comment😂😂😂😂😂

She just set the entire nursing profession backwards about 50 years.

I say it every time. How do these adults fall for this obvious BS? It’s mind blowing

I am continually amazed by the stupidity of people

Wanting to confront the scammers just shows they are still not entirely sure they got scammed. It would be like finding out that Santa Claus isn't real and then driving to the North Pole to tell him off. Not only that, calling the scammer out means that they know they have been found out and they can then take steps to cover their financial tracks.

It’s surprising they are still “in love” even when the scammers get so aggressive about guilting them into giving money. The fact that you’re not turned off by someone being mean to you is alarming

First of all this woman is wrong. You CAN have a pacemaker/defibrillator in one device. I have one. It regulates my heart rate, AND should I go into a rogue rhythm it will give me a shock. She obviously isn’t a cardiac nurse. Second, this woman needs to understand that any man who will take $80,000+ from you whether they say they will pay it back or not, is a man you don’t want.

Is no one going to talk about the fact that he has her naked on screenshots or videos? Her naked self might come back to haunt her😢

Why do they always call it a "relationship"? You are talking to a scammer who is only interested in your money and who you will never meet in person.

Him: babe i need $15000 for an ambulance uber Her, a health care worker: Ok sounds legit

The most shocking thing to me about 99% of these cases is that after being continually asked for money, being drained of their life savings and then being verbally abused, the victim always says if the person is real, they'd be happy to continue the relationship... WHY? I wish women learned to love themselves more and stop settling for these scumbags.

He’s going to pay me back with interest. 😆🤣🤣 Where can I find people like this? I need a new pair of shoes 🤣🤣🤣

She heard 4 million dollars and her greed took over. This is about greed, they all are.

He works in Turkey and can't even spell Eeeestambul right? Geez. I'd crack at that point.

The people who want to confront the person still don't fully get it. This person gives zero fucks.

The guy could have told me he loved me until the cows came home I'm not sending him any money I'm not sending him naked pictures!!!

Hello? … hello? 🦗 Hello? … Babe? Yeah. Sure sounds like an endearing character.

And the scammer now has pics of her which he could use to blackmail her…

"I like to work out and stay in shape". I've got a feeling the gym is scamming her too.

The abusiveness of this man she's in love with. Even if she hadn't sent him a dime, the red flags are amassing!! And after all that abuse: "He's someone I could be with," wistfully. Seriously?!

The words “get him home” is one of the big common denominators in all of these. 😵‍💫

Did anyone else notice the scammer couldn’t spell “Istanbul”? I know texting isn’t always perfect, but bad grammar and spelling (along with certain keywords) is a huge indicator the person isn’t the educated, professional person they say they are.

What's common with these stories is that the victims don't do anything until they have lost insane amounts of money.

These Karens are ridiculous.

Did anyone else think the way she described her husband’s presumable death, possibly suicide, was kind of odd? It feels to me like she’s not remotely processed that yet. This is probably just a huge piece of escapism for her - not having to deal with reality. Poor woman.

She thinks that by confronting him, telling him she knows he’s a scammer, will make him feel remorseful and ashamed. She doesn’t realise he’s scamming countless women and men at the same time. As for sending naked photos..you can just imagine the laughs they have in the call centre.

Why do these people believe that a person would have an entire FOUR MILLION dollars in ONE bank account? That in itself is stupid.

If it wasn't already clear enough: DO! NOT! SEND! IMAGES! OF! YOUR! PRIVATES! TO! STRANGERS!

This poor, confused, yet educated lady. I noticed in one of his messages he misspelled Istanbul as IstaMbul. Red flags everywhere!

The Catfished group pointed out to her that their entire relationship consisted of sex and him asking her for money, and she agreed. Smh.

If he were Scandinavian, and needed some medical attention, a pacemaker or whatever, he could just go home and get that, for free.

imagine what kind of hell could be unleashed when AI generated faces / pictures / voices become so good they're almost indistinguishable from the real deal & these kinds of scammers get their hands on that shit

He’s not doing it to you - you are doing it to yourself!

Who want to bet she have not even probably helped her own kids as much as she helped this perfect stranger. Smh

There’s something so gross and insidious about these men getting sexual favors from these women while scamming them using someone else’s photo.

“People shouldn’t be allowed to mess with women’s emotions or feelings.” Girl, your emotions and feelings shouldn’t be so easily accessible to strangers in person or online. Gird your loins!! Don’t empty your wallet and open your life to penis pictures.

I love how she said "he's good at what he's doing". No he's not. Any fool can see through these scams and this just proves "there's a sucker born every minute"- P.T. Barnum.

The minute they bring up they need money shut them down and block them

It never fails, all these women say “I am so intelligent. “No if you fall for scams you have no common sense.

They're messing with good, honest, hardworking people. My heart goes out to lady and i hope she finds a good, honest, kindhearted man who is 100% real.

She’s talking with Catfished staff as they are walking her through everything and she still thinks the scammer is real person and that they were in a relationship. Unbelievable.

SO many of these women want that “final” conversation with the man, as if it’s an actual break-up. She goes not seen to absorb the fact that this person will not feel guilt because scamming IS HIS JOB and obviously, he’s good at it.

I wouldn't trust a nurse like her with checking my blood pressure.

This woman is obviously an educated person. I have had countless men ask me for money and I would never fall for it. The minute they ask for money, they’re gone. Loneliness is terrible but trust your gut!

The ambulance will bring me to your home!!??? HAHAHAHAHAA I'M DEAD. Basically he was almost DOA, or what!? 😂😂😂

Why do these women believe that anyone has to pay to leave a country? Also, people who have several millions in the bank ALWAYS have access to their money. This woman is so ignorant of real life she shouldn’t be left on her own!! The fact that she is a nurse is horrifying 😱

A LITTLE BIT of an accent? 😂😂😂😂 The delusion is out of this world.

Nurses, what’s going on?!

"People shouldn't be ALLOWED.." NO! People should not be so naive! No one forced you; it was all your own fault and I'm never going to feel sorry for these people who never learned to be 'alone'. They give others the impression that it is easy to take advantage of others and that they are superiorly smarter than their prey. And never send photos that you wouldn't want your family/friends to see, like nudes or sex activity! They can blackmail you with them!

She sent him nudes & sexted with him when when he hadn’t even taken her out to lunch. People’s self esteem is SO broken. This is so damn sad.

How can someone with the mental capacity to be a nurse be so goddamn naive? She recognized that he “looks Scandinavian” but not that he *sounds African.*

If they ask you for money it is a scam Block him!!!

Rule Number 1. If you are going to do the online dating thing,,, please find someone who lives nearby, 2. arrange a meeting in a public place asap before wasting anymore time building up false realities, and 3. Never give away your hard earned money

Her husband died in December 2021. Her spreadsheet said she loaned money in November 2021. The voiceover said “after a couple years” she started dating 🧐

When asked to describe their "partner", these people always and only mention three things: 1. How good looking they are 2. How they say sweet things 3. How much they're looking forward to them "coming home" and all the money they'll have.

She wants to confront the guy/ girl , but why? Whoever is scamming her will have no idea who she is because she is likely one of hundreds of people they’re scamming .

I've been working as a Medical Technician for over 16 years. I am SOO AMAZED that several of these scam victims are registered nurses. Most of the nurses I've worked under are quite a bit smarter than this. SMH

I think that it's pretty clear that this woman has a very tenuous grip on reality.

I used to get so frustrated that my mother wouldn’t learn how to use a computer. Thank god she didn’t. After my father died I spent so much time just chasing off real men trying to scam her. My mother was like these women in that she needed male attention and affirmation so badly. She would trust any man that smooth talked her. She died last year at 83.

Too bad she didn't have this "epiphany" before she gave him all her money. 😳

A police report...I'm sure they will be working shifts to get her money back.🙄
