🆕WATCH NEXT: We introduce Romance Scam victim to the REAL person in the photos! : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f-CJdJxmlcjTZX0.html

I guarantee this guy could find a woman his age to date. He’s kind, he’s handsome and he has hair. Dude- you’re a great guy and you deserve a real love!

This man stayed by his wife through her entire health decline, which is soooo much more than the usual subjects of these videos. He seems beyond genuine and I hope he finds the happiness he deserves.

This guy is the ONLY one of these catfish people I've felt sorry for. Poor guy I hope he knows we're all on his side

Shit, if I wasn't married, I'd date this dude. He's the only person in this series I've actually felt truly sorry for. He's not even a bad looking guy either.

Wade is the first person in this series I actually feel sympathy for.

"You're talking to several men who are sending you photos of this woman" - this is the most precise and understandable explanation for the victims you used I in all the videos I've seen so far.

To anyone reading this, besides the obvious of not sending strangers money, NEVER give out your home address and NEVER eat any candy, cake or foodstuffs that arrive by mail or courier delivery

What a pleasant-sounding, soft-spoken man. Loneliness makes people so vulnerable.

I feel so bad for this guy. He seems very genuine and seems to be a great guy that would be a good match for someone. The fact he stayed with his wife when she got ill says a lot about his character. Hope he finds happiness!

I hope Wade reads all these comments. To see 100% positivity towards someone on the internet is borderline miraculous. Wade bro, IMO, the loss of your wife is still too raw. Take time to heal buddy. God bless you.

It's awful that those who suffer with loneliness can be prayed upon. He seems like such a genuinely nice guy.

You can see the pain in this man's face and hear it in his voice. He seems like a really good dude. This one was the saddest I've seen so far.

If she needs $180 for school, why would she be spending money on customized sweatshirts, roses, and a chocolate cake for him? Red flag.

A rare case of a goodhearted loyal husband who just isn't coping well with being alone

Wade is such a genuinely good man. I can still feel his pain of losing his wife like it happened yesterday. I hope and pray God will bless him with someone or something that will fill his void in his heart NOT scammers.

Loneliness can sometimes cause people to flat out ignore red flags. This seems to be a very kind guy. I wish him well.

If ever there was a guy that needs grief counselling & time hanging out at a men’s shed before he joins some social activities, it’s this guy. His loneliness is palpable. And if he went to an activity where women his age hang out, he’d be so popular he wouldn’t know what to do with himself.

It never fails to fascinate me how men and women think somebody 20-30 years younger would actually fall for them in the first place. Loneliness is a very cruel thing and these lowlifes scum bags take full advantage of it. Very sad.

We need updates on past scammed people and especially Wade! I hope he’s doing well and found someone in real life.

Heartbreaking story. Wade seems like a genuinely great guy. I hope he finds his true special companion.

Poor guy, his grief and isolation made him naive enough to buy into this fantasy relationship. He's not a bad person at all and sounds like he was a great husband. I hope he finds himself a compatible woman from the REAL world.

I feel bad for him. He’s handsome, soft spoken, seems generous, genuine and kind. I hope he finds someone that will treat him well.

He's one of the few people on here who didn't deserve it.

Only person on this series who I feel badly for. Seems like a genuinely kind person.

There’s a special place in hell for people who con lonely people for financial gain. Absolutely despicable. I hope Wade finds someone as awesome as he is ❤

Wade seems so sweet and it's so heartbreaking seeing him fall for these scams. He deserves someone to love, he seems like such a genuine human being.

I liked the little intro you did in the beginning with his sheet metal history. You guys are obviously sincerely empathetic and it shows through, some of us laugh at how ridiculous this stuff can be, but the reality is that in a lot of cases these people are far more lonely than stupid.

I hope Wade is doing well. I hate these scammers. Filthy human beings that deserve a special seat in hell.

These scammers are sick and evil. To take advantage of these vulnerable people is horrible. Praying that Wade finds a companion that’s right for him.

I've had psychosis. He's a good guy if he stayed with her through that. First guy I have felt sorry for. Hope he finds someone good in real life. Maybe a grief support group would help.

I feel for this guy. My wife of 32 years was recently diagnosed with a form of Leukemia. If she passes I have decided that I will never date, either online or in person. I have my boys, my grandkids, and my hobbies. My marriage is extremely good, and I don't think I could ever find anyone that could to fill that gap.

This is utterly heartbreaking. This man could find a real woman instead of this. I hope he has found someone by now.

Don't these guys who are like 60 years old ask themselves "would my own daughter date a 60 year old" or "when I was 25-30, would I have dated a 60 year old?" If the answer is not very likely, wouldn't they then realize that their fantasy girlfriend is just made up? But this guy I feel sorry for, he seems like a nice person. A lot of these victims aren't very nice, but he seem to be. He's just so lonely. Hope he can find some nice 60 year old woman who is _real_ .

If people haven't figured it out already the second someone asks for money block them! Isnt it amazing that these young, attractive, smart people have NO ONE in their lives to help them out with whatever cash they supposedly need?!

Respect to this guy. Out of all these uploads, he's the most genuine. Hope he finds what he's looking for

Can we get an update where you just read him the comments and we see him react - or hopefully by now he’s seen how many people are rooting for him & how likable he is 💜 WE MISS YOU TOO WADE!

One of the few wholesome souls on this channel. Good luck, Wade!

Edit: Just to clarify: A forum for all the clients that have been scammed (no outside people, strictly for the people who have actually been on the show themselves) to be able to talk with each other. They all have shared, painful experiences of being scammed. Not necessarily for romance but for friendship. Wade's loneliness was palpable and it was painful to see. These people (that were on the show) could at least have a place to go and talk. Have they thought about opening up a forum for the men and women that have been scammed and are really lonely to meet and talk with each other? Maybe not necessarily even a romantic relationship but a friendship to ease their loneliness. They really should consider doing this. Wade is such a nice guy, I know that some of these women (who are real) that would genuinely be interested in talking to him.

There’s only a VERY small few that I felt genuinely sorry for and one of them is this man. Just in the first few minutes, I just felt this instant sympathy for him…

I never feel sorry for fools but my heart goes out to this lovely hearted guy.

This one I feel sorry for. He treated his wife nice and was just lonely. He also seemed like a real person and listened to the Catfish team. He wasn’t too full of himself.

These 2 catfish employees(I don't know their names) are so good at talking to people. They both are always so kind and patient and seem to genuinely care about the people they are helping.

What a nice man. He deserves a real and genuinely nice person in his life.

I’ve watched so so many of these videos on this channel and this is the FIRST person I’ve felt genuine sympathy for. Especially when he was talking about his wife. I truly wish the best for this guy.

Hi Wade- this happened to me 9 years ago but the person never asked for money. I’m still not sure what he gained from the emotional torture he put me through but thankfully I snapped out of the trance after several months of empty promises and tragic situations that prevented him from meeting me in person. I blocked him, changed my phone number and I’ve spent the last 9 years focusing on work & not much else. I just turned 52 and I’ve missed out on real life relationships because I wouldn’t let my guard down enough to give anyone a chance. My advice to you is to block this person and keep your heart open to the possibility of a real life relationship with someone you are compatible with and who won’t drain you financially or emotionally.

Thanks for putting up with me - This guy comes across waaay better than some of the unpleasant ingrates that you guys have put time and effort into helping. Really hope he gets there

I genuinely feel for Wade. I hope he’s feeling better. It would be cool to get updates on some people to see how they’re doing now.

This poor man. It's so heartbreaking. I hope he finds someone who deserves him and that truly cares about him.

I am not really a church-going person, but I see signs all the time at churches for widows and widowers and bereaved people to meet and talk. Wade is a wonderful man, decent looking and loyal. I wish he could find a group like that to share his feelings instead of having to rely on a 20-something person online.

What a lovely man Wade is. Genuine, caring and giving. I pray he finds a wonderful lady

30yrs! You are 30yrs older! No respect here

I actually think he’s pretty attractive. I hope he finds someone IRL, he deserves it ♥️

What a sweet man! He did not deserve to be hurt like that, especially after losing his wife so recently. My heart hurts for him.

Guy's wife was beautiful. I so felt for him - he deserves so much more from life. Such a genuine human being.

He seems so nice. He deserves a real relationship.

I can't believe that end scene, "he is still talking to her but hasn't sent any money" 🙄 He needs to block her!

It's tough being Nigerian and watching ur videos. It's sad seeing these people being taken advantage of. Also good to see that you're working with the EFCC as u mentioned in another video. 👍🏽🙌🏾

I would love to be this guy's friend! He seems like such a lovely soul and I'm so sorry he was hurt.

“Hello handsome” …would’ve triggered some immediate alarms……I do feel really sorry for Wade, he seems like a good and genuine man.

If you read this Wade.......I'm a couple of years older than you: you look great for your age & you have a nice personality; the reality is that a girl that looks like that only has interest in a guy of our age group for 1 thing, and it isn't love of you but love of free money - YOUR MONEY. Find someone local or at least someone that you can meet face to face, just don't try too hard, and if you get asked for money you walk away and never look back. Best of luck mate, you deserve a break.

Everytime they talk about a online relation ship. There is no online relation ship! Chatting with someone is no relation ship. It's the dream, the fantasy of having a relation ship.

This is probably the first time I feel sorry for a person that appears on this show. I genuinely hope he finds someone that gives true love. He deserves it!

I really feel bad for this guy. He's obviously still struggling so much with the death of his wife. He stayed till the end, that shows true love and commitment.

This is a really sad story. However, the language the team use helps people maintain their illusion.Instead of saying ‘they started an online relationship’ they should say ‘Wade believed he was building an online relationship’ or asking ‘where does this put you with Sara?’ They should ‘ where does this put you with the scammer who’s been using the alias Sara’ This would help others grasp the reality. But I’ve noticed in recent episodes they continue to talk as if the person is real- ‘so what will you do if Sara contacts you again’ etc, so the fantasy persists that Sara exists…

WHY WHY WHY continue to talk to a scammer? You are most likely talking to a DUDE. There are Nigerian scammer rings all over the country, run by men. The second somebody asks you for money and calls you pet names - DELETE AND BLOCK.

I must have gotten 15 “friend requests” on Facebook from women much younger and ignored them. It’s obvious that it’s not a good idea to follow up.

His story actually made me cry. Like how could anyone do this to this man. This is an example of everything a man should be. All today's men need to look at him as an example.

So sad someone could take advantage of someone so lonely. 😢

I can certainly relate, taking care of a sick spouse is so isolating and hard to explain.

Aww…he is a sweet, vulnerable, lonely man. He should join a social club of some sort with his community center. From Arts to dancing and bird watching, hiking and more, I am sure there is something out there where he can meet people face to face. (my Uncle joined a remote control planes group).

My heart goes out to this man so genuine and deserves a genuine relationship he's one of the good ones

This man is an old school simple minded family man. You can see that especially when they ask him if he cares if she’s Nigerian and he says no. Then when they ask if he cares if she’s Nigerian and a guy he says of course yes. He does not understand how these scam works. I feel so bad for him bc he is very terribly lonely. At the end he thanks them for helping, wishes them Happy Thanksgiving and tells them he will miss them. Hope he finds some real people to talk to and make friends with soon.

Hi Wade, I'm a 53-y-o single female. You sound amazing and you're cute. There is love for you. I hope the good folks at social catfish can tell you how many people feel this way about you.

After what many single women go through today with the men in our lives, a little “boring” may do a world of good for our hearts. A good sense of right/wrong, a little romance, some enthusiasm for life, a lot less drama and some stability is what many may call boring. Sounds like a great way to live to me ❤️

This guy is the most logical “victim” I’ve seen. He seems like he has a pricey pen pal

This is the first catfish person I truly feel sorry for. At least he got off easy with only giving up 1K compared to others giving up their life savings

Social catfish should literally setup a private group where these lonely people that have been scammed can chat and if they choose to. Heck or even find love.

What a sweet man. I feel really sorry for him and hope that he finds a nice and honest partner. He deserves happiness

Really, really feel for Wade. After losing his wife who he clearly loved dearly, too soon in his life has left a void which has made him susceptible to dating scams. I can see the distress on his face when he says he’s lonely. Breaks my heart. I hope he manages to find someone in real life and live the small portion of what he has left of his life with someone he cares about, and cares for him. What a sad story!

When they call you babe, they are juggling many victims at the same time and they don’t want to have to remember names

I am so sorry for Wade’s loss. That is so hard. And it shows what kind of guy he is that he stood by his wife’s side while she went through that. Loneliness is a killer. I hope he finds some work/life balance and finds a nice RL woman to spend the rest of his life with. Quick hint to older people, like me. Most younger people don’t want to date older people. So if a young person approaches you on line, be very suspicious.

I feel so bad for him , he seems so kind and patient

He seems genuinely nice and I hope he finds real companionship.

These people be wilding. Not saying he is ugly. But my goodness why would a 30 yr old woman be interested in him? Let’s be real we live in a very superficial world. Common sense is dead people. 🙄

Omg when he says happy Thanksgiving it just breaks my heart. Humans weren't meant to be alone.

All scammers who prey on loneliness are disgusting, but this seems like a particularly unfair case.

Mr. Wade I am so sorry you've had to go through this. I lost a husband once, so I understand the loneliness. I hope you find peace and happiness in your future. You deserve better.

He seems very nice and not at all creepy. I hope he finds a real-life partner who'll love him, appreciate him and that they'll be able to share a life together. together

He gives me Tim Roth vibes, he's actually a really attractive man with his personality combined. I hope he finds someone real in the real world to make him happy

Wade reminds me of a young DeNiro. Very handsome, clearly a caring person. Much sympathy for him, this was so cruel. Wishing him all the best going forward!

This man doesn't deserve this whatsoever. I'm hoping he finds a good woman and wish him happiness 💗

I hate that people take advantage of those who are grieving, being lonely is the worst feeling possible. I hope he finds a real person near him to fill that void x

“Who’s going to wear a shirt wear their own picture on it?” Allow me to introduce you to international superstar Usman AKA Souja Boy from Sokoto, Nigeria!

Dude seems like such a nice guy! He didn't even go looking for it poor fella. Loneliness sucks!

Awww..I feel badly for this guy. It's just sickening how people can get away with this! Poor guy I wish him true happiness in the future..🙏

This is the first guy that I actually feel empathy for.. most of these guys are delusional creepers.. and some need prison time. This guy is certainly a victim of circumstances.

Hey Wade I'm a 54 year old female who thinks you're a great guy. I'm sorry for the loss of your wife. Hang in there 🙏.

This broke my heart! I pray he finds the love he is worthy of. 🙏🏽

Ok, I’m so sorry that Wade got taken in by these folks. He is so sweet and caring, I know there’s probably so many women who would LOVE to spend time with him and enjoy his company! He has such a great personality and the way he took care of his Wife…he’s amazing! I know he will get tons of offers after this video…wish I lived closer! Lol Good luck Wade!
