Oh nooo. We must forget all of the intangible benefits HE was getting in his fantasy. We must only focus on him getting "used" for 50k over TEN years by that horrible golddigger!!! 😅
Why are the most.....unique....looking individuals so insanely picky when it comes to looks and dating?! It's stunning to me-- this gentleman went on and on about needing "a dime" by his side, with ZERO irony, as if that's what he'd match with.
Sounds like my brother in law. He wants a 10, but he’s a 2. That’s why he’s 41, never had a girlfriend, unemployed, broke, and living with his grandmother and uncle. The only thing stopping him from being romance scammed is that he’s not a complete idiot, oh and he has no money to send anyone 😂
full of shit, he was just abuse, the scammer uses people loneliness, relationships aren't like that, that is mad if you dont give money. for 10 yearsssss crazy
@TheTillmanSneakerReview seems to be the common denominator with all the "victims". I've yet to see a person who even appears to be somewhat intelligent fall for these scams. It's as if being an idiot is a prerequisite.
“She has kissable lips, like mine.” This man has the ego, but no personality. He is a child in an adult’s body. He’s physically grown but mentally stunted.
When she continued accepting gifts knowing she was no longer in love-that's when the scamming started..She had an option- cut off ties, stop accepting gifts, Levy would have got the message!
@@ZedRNdisagree. He never intended to meet her. He paid for her virtual companionship. No relationship can be virtual forever. Did he really expect her to go 10 years without physically seeing him? Hugging him? That's borderline cruel. He was paying her more so out of guilt for not being brave enough to go see her. No empathy this time.
@@Mara-d2x a scammer is someone who misrepresents something in an attenpt to defraud. This lady was who she said she was. She asked for money for rent and groceries and he gave it to her. There's no attempt to defraud. Just a lady asking a man for financial help and him consenting to give her money. If he had actually gone to meet her, they may be together today.
She is a real person. It's very rare to see that. After 10 years. She lost love for him. I feel like he's obsessed with her. Money can't buy love. He definitely had his chance to visit her. Until this happens. She wants nothing to do with him. What a shame. I hope he doesn't hurt himself. Hopefully, he will overcome this emotional pain
This. She waited and he never came. It was time to move on. Also Western Union can't really be refused. It's cash more or less, refuse it and it won't go back to the sender.
I'm more inclined to believe the "scammer" in this case just the way she was willing to take on the call, and her tone and frustration in trying to convince social catfish about it. it's also easy to say you'll reject any money from someone you don't love, but c'mon. Dude was practically paying for gf experience, even if no physical relationship happened, she still spends time with him online.
She’s a champion to come on this show & be sooo honest & open. She in this case hasn’t done anything wrong nor scammed him. He’s brought this on himself
Exactly. He had 10 years to go see her. He knew where she lived but he didn't want to leave his precious America and see how the other side lives. Vietnam poverty is different from American poverty, her house looks middle class for Vietnam standards from what I can see in the video. I'm sure his money helped her get that house, she could have been living in a tin hut when they first met before she got a job.
Never forget that it is also a huge part of Vietnamese culture that you support the family of your gf too. This is normal relationship behaviour as far as she is concerned.
Agreed. I think she is very open that she doesn’t like to be characterized as someone who is mooching money. She’s pointing out that she works and goes to school and isn’t just sitting on the sofa living on his money. I think she didn’t want to hurt him but just couldn’t be as blunt as she needed to be.
She was mooching money. Taking money from a guy she did not intend on ever meeting or marrying. This is a scam though. Why are people ok with this behaviour. On camera she was back paddling because someone was trying to hold her accountable. Some of us saw right through it ! 😶🙄
@@tmcurlyHe’s the one who never intended to meet her. He had extra $ to send her every month, but never bothered to fly to her country and try to meet her. He knew she couldn’t afford to fly to him because he was helping her pay rent and basic bills. He had enough extra $ to send her every month, he could’ve just used that money to go visit her country and try to meet her. He literally had her address and everything, as proven by Social Catfish. That’s 100% on him. He played her as much as he played himself.
@@timgalaviz1322 There was another victim that had a real woman scammer. Even went to see her face to face, get scammed somemore in person and ended up keeping in touch with the scammer as an online friend lmao.
Why do these scam "victims" ONLY describe the person by over-detailed PHYSICAL characteristics!?!? It's sooo creepy. Also, screams how they know nothing about the person, not to mention their own disturbed character that got them scammed in the first place. 🙄
If you notice, these ‘relationships’ are notoriously shallow and the victims always mistake general pleasantries for depth. 95% can’t even identify any sort of African accent…because these people aren’t usually having real conversations and when they do its via text.
I always find it rather incredulous that men who are average-looking at best have a long list of attributes they want in their partners. Do they actually think younger attractive women are interested in them for their looks and personality and not their financial resources?
It’s 10 years guys! Not 10days! In Asian culture, women are often urged to get married early. She literally waited for him 10 years straight but he never showed up. How is she a scammer? You guys are calling her a scammer for receiving money from her boyfriend while they were dating? Like your boyfriend never gives you money or buys you gifts? Also, after realizing she doesn’t love him anymore, she has stopped receiving his money and even told him to stop sending the money. How is that a scammer? A scammer always wants more money, but never dares to have a serious video call like this. And she made a valid point when saying that he kept sending the money so that she would not cut him off. I bet he knew what he was doing too. Now that he knows she is no longer waiting for him, he wants to call her out on this show. Shame on him.
That's most romance scams. My aunt was scammed out of 224,000 by A Nigerian-Turkisk couple in India. I ran them down and got 20k back. I took it back to America and handed it to her. And by God if she didn't turn around and send it right back. She told me she didn't care if her honey was real or not. That she realized she was paying for a fantasy and that's what she wanted and she wanted everyone to just butt-out of her life..
I think there was a minor language barrier between Bri and Trinh. Trinh told her in black and white terms that she wanted Levy to either send for her to America or for him to come to her to meet. Plenty of times throughout the years. He wanted to keep the fantasy alive of that virtual relationship he could escape from and thought it would be ruined if they met for whatever reason. Trinh kept telling Bri that she told him to stop sending money but he kept doing it anyways to continue to keep the door opene for that fantasy relationship he created in his head probably having no intention of traveling there or filling out the paperwork to bring her to America.
No language barrier. They seen the messages to know she’s lying and Trinh was called out. A flight from Chicago to Vietnam is less than $1500. He sent her enough money she could have flown to the US MULTIPLE times.
You know, since I discovered this channel about a week ago, I've been binging these videos every day. A funny trend is that its always the most self-unaware people who get catfished.
I love Trinh's sarcastic "Yeah...okay" at the end of the video chat 😂 I'm team Trinh on this one. She was honest about who she was, and has been waiting 10 years for him to visit. He has his chance and wanted to sit at home, sending her money and engaging in a long-distance, internet relationship. He has no one to blame but himself. Fortune favors the bold, not the complacent.
Some men think they can buy women. He thought if he continued to send her money, she would eventually feel obligated to come to America. Ironic how their sexism makes fools out of men.
He wasn't trying to buy her. He was basically supporting her. You know, the whole "provide and protect" BS men are expected to do? In this case, he thought he was only able to provide for the woman he loved. This has nothing to do with sexism, cause if it did, she would be considered a misandrist for using and manipulating a man financially that has strong feelings towards her. So stop with the gender BS
@@berrylly ....She also didn't tell him how she felt truly about him. He was under the impression that she was still in love. If she would've said that earlier, then I'm sure he would've stopped. It took direct confrontation for her to express how she felt. Manipulator is what she is.
I think she originally was looking for a way to come over to the US and have a chance to earn more money for her family, but after so many years she managed to do it on her own. She probably scammed him in the sense that she pretended to love him, but I think she really planned on meeting him and marrying him. Perhaps after a while his opinions on women annoyed her.
it is a scam read the texts she's lying she never had interest in being with the guy she demanded money didn't let him come see her she's making shit up to look like the victim.
You guys had more hostility towards her than the actual catfishes/scammers on this show. It's obviously a 90 day fiance type of situation, but he never followed through on his end. He chose to send her money, and she's who she says she is. Even when he suspected she didn't love him anymore, he continued to send money instead of looking elsewhere. The "love" was shallow on both ends, if we're being honest. He's barely a victim.
Yeah this is an L video. This channel has always been amateur level and them trying to take the vigilante route is weird. This dude, like most of these “victims,” was just willfully stupid and in denial.
Ja,jetzt hast mich erwischt.Ich habe einen kleinen Fehler gemacht und ich kann Dir sagen wie das passiert ist. Ich habe diesen Kommentar mitten in der Nacht geschrieben. Da ich schlecht sehe,trage ich normalerweise Kontaktlinsen aber um die Uhrzeit nur meine Brille.Mit der sehe ich aber nicht so gut.Und somit ist mir das wohl nicht aufgefallen. Wirklich schlimm. Und wie Du siehst ,ist Englisch NICHT meine Muttersprache-also kann sowas schon mal passieren. Peace
He was using her and the price was 100-300 a month. I hate that they’re trying to make her out to be the bad guy. She didn’t give him ultimatums or threaten him, she’s not scamming. Her heart was in it, but he didn’t take action. He wonders why she’s been acting different - just because you send money doesn’t mean you’re giving her what she needed.
I doubt it, women will take money anytime it's presented especially if it's free money. She was only thinking about herself and not the damage she causing this man when she knew she didn't want him. This lady dead ass wrong cause I'm sure he would've stopped if she would've told him she wasn't no longer in love.
@@mildredchester So can a fake chick who tells you what you want to hear. They're also both incentivized to keep you coming lest the gravy train stops.
Honestly, after 10 years I’m not mad at her or consider her a scammer. I think she told him but he continued to “help” her. She wanted more than just his money but he couldn’t see it. Sad on both sides.
She didn't tell him anything. She is a scamming coward. That's why she told the lady to tell him. She led him on. That 350$ a month is a lot where she is.
@@Nope-sI honestly think she might’ve been young and dreaming of coming to America and having an American boyfriend. But he’s too « american » , he couldn’t go there and risk not seeing her. So he kept what he had, that little bit of a relationship. And like she said, she grew up. But hey he kept sending money why would she insist on not getting it lol.
My wife and I met online and did long distance. Recently I was looking through emails and remembered I bought her engagement ring 3 days before we met in person for the first time. Started dating in February, engaged at the end of July, married the following May
A gift is a gift. She wasn't wrong for accepting his gifts. $50,000 for ten years= $5000 a year = less than $100 a week = $15 a day for her to be his fantasy girl. That's not a scam. That's just a private web cam model.
Agree 100%. This isn’t a scam. She was fulfilling his emotional needs and he paid her for her time. This is the reality of the situation. Realistically, there are women he could have met in the real world that would have taken him for much more.
I feel bad for both of them. I hate to say this, but I have to agree with Trinh here. She wasn't scamming him. Ten years is a long time. It's 100% true that we become totally different people over time. I don't fault her for accepting the money, and I applaud her for having the bravery to be on camera and to tell the truth.
My younger brother just went through this same situation but he actually went to Thailand and met her. Sucks cause after 4 yrs she ended up getting married. Her excuse, he took too long.
@@gravity-zero2917 Yes, time is a real thing. If your younger brother met her when she was young, then 4 years seems like an eternity. If he met her when she was older, she may have felt like time was running out. It also depends on the person though. I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work out.
I agree. He wasn’t genuine with her. He put off going to see her for whatever useless reason. And these guys were way too hard on her. Really disappointed in how they handled this one.
@@Liitebulb They aren't those things. They are his preferences. (Ok, they're a little misogynistic.) But he also admitted quickly that his preferred type is out of his league, so I didn't get "entitlement" from him at all.
If she was a scammer, she wouldn’t even video chat with his friends, like all the Nigerian scammers . They refused to speak to anybody else especially with a video chat, they would hang up the phone right away. . This girl kept talking to them and explained the reason so she’s not a scammer, she was in for a real relationship but he was not sponsoring her to America and he didn’t show up to Vietnam either. He can’t expect a woman to wait for him for over 10 years and still be loyal to him.
good point, I wasnt sure if she was playing him or not but like you said, a real scammer would not video chat their victim's friends. She just got tired of waiting on him
This is not true at all. People can allow you to see them and still scam you out of your money. She scammed for money to live a better life where she is. These women are aware of the passport brother movement and are cashing in on it.They know these men have issues getting women in their own country.
I can't say she's a scammer. She was honest with Levy and he needs to be honest with her. Either go and visit her in Vietnam to make it happen or move on with your lives especially after 10 years. I hope you guys start doing a "Where are they now" series
Nope. Trinh was definitely using him for his money. Remember she told him "that's little kid money" when she wanted a bigger amount from him. Come on now...
When Levy said he was sending the money through Western Union and didn't mention gift cards or Bitcoin, I had a feeling she was going to be a real person. I do feel bad for Levy because he seemed to be in a really bad place mentally at the end of the video.
For Levy I am worried too! Hope there will coming help for him. Sometimes I think she is real but than I think no it’s scam. But it’s happens and he Levy is hurt intense, so Catfish help him please?! 🙏
Never felt sorry for the "scammer" before. She's a woman who wanted to be in a relationship but he never pushed it forward. Why didn't he ever go and see her instead of just sending her money? She's not a scammer. Just hurting.
not a scammer? she whoever she is, kept asking him for moneyt and accepting it.......kept him on a string for that. If she looks like that she would not be interested in this guy in the US. She could find someone in her own country.. She is a catfish no matter what justification she gives..
@@chrischallis4348 Seriously! All these ppl in the comments every week are calling every victim an idiot but put one real woman in front of them who blatantly says her "love is enough over a birthday card"(?!) and the same folks lose their minds and line up to defend her!😂 And they wonder how ppl get scammed!🙈 Brother!
Nope. Trinh was definitely using him for his money. Remember she told him "that's little kid money" when she wanted a bigger amount from him. Come on now...
I always love the moment you ask"why are you still communicating?" and the answer is almost always "i like the way they talk to me" and in the messages or voicemails these scammers can't string a sentence together, how do you ever talk to someone with such limited vocabulary? All their talkingpoints must be shallow, because they could never express anything complex or meaningfull. The sad reality of course is that these people are so attentionstarved that such shallow talks keep them going.
I dont think this was a scam. I kind of feel that Levi had cold feet on meeting her and knew she was losing interest, but kept sending things and insisting on sending money to keep her talking to him. I think he just thought if they met in person that she would be disappointed or something, so he wanted to keep it the way it was. After awhile I feel they used one another. She was getting money from him and he was holding onto the idea of the relationship.
Yes! And I don't like how the Catfish woman kept talking to her! This woman seemed for open amd honest and up front! Yet the Catfish woman was just being nasty and aggressive for no reason. No one MADE him send the money. And he even admitted himself that he CHOSE not to go visit her although he could have. She's given up her young years. Her prime years. Waiting on him. And we women know that we don't stay young and beautiful and fertile forever. If we're going to have a family with children and a husband, we need to get with them when we're young. If its been 10 years, then she's at least 28 now. Probably older. This is the first Catfished episode that I actually liked AND that I blame the "victim" instead of the "scammer". (Because I feel like in all honesty, HE actually scammed HER. 😢)
It was still a scam. She never told him she didn't love him and keep accepting his money and leading him on with no attention of meeting him. She deserves to be harrased on fb now
I understand her perspective. She wanted him to visit, she wanted him to come to her and try to start a life with her. But he wanted to keep it solely online. I think he was afraid of the real thing not measuring up. Ten years is a really long time. He lead her on. Kept saying he'd come see her over and over and never did. That's just sad that he never took the leap.
We can’t really believe what this woman was saying. She was obviously lying 🤥 . He did say he wanted to marry the lady. He never said he wanted to be an online husband forever? She was just trying to save face and threw him under the bus. Levi is not stupid. He would not continue to send money if he thought this was platonic..
@@tmcurly Real love isn't based solely on transactions like that. It takes more than just "I got you flowers" or "I sent you a teddy bear". That's some BS love-bombing tactic used by guys who stand you up, when they know you're mad at them for not showing up when you said you would. I had a guy who refused to come see me after 6 months - think I stayed with him? He kept sending me flowers when I asked him to please stop, because I was done when he stood me up for the third time in as many months. No. I didn't sign up for that. And the fact that you just assume that's not even a possibility is sad. He continued sending flowers, I gave them away to neighbors and sent him pictures of them being left on the neighbor's doorsteps, because he didn't listen. When I moved, I didn't tell him. I hope the new people who live there enjoyed the weekly flowers.
This is the first time that I feel sympathy for the lady, I don’t believe she is scamming him , but I do believe he is obsessed with her. He also seems very detach from reality. Over all, it’s not a good situation.
I never thought I would ever see the day where I feel bad for "the scammer ". She actually decided to video chat and I totally understand her perspective. Levy decided to entertain his fantasy of "his perfect woman " could have been out in the real world dating someone close to me. I don't feel bad for him IJS🤷🏽♀️
I see this a lot. Guys start chatting with girls overseas, promise to go over and marry them, but are to lazy to save up the money for a plane ticket, or are afraid to travel and just chicken out. The foreign girls get cynical (I live overseas and see it first hand) and just go after the money. For every American guy that is a victim of a romance scammer, there are probably a dozen foreign girls that got broken promises.
I'm in a similar situation but an expat American. After chatting with this German man living in America I was done after 2 years of not visiting me. Women want to see effort.
I’ve never seen anyone tell the same story the person being “scammed” said word from word. Like she said it was 10yrs ago. He really thought he found a girl after being so quiet in school. He let his feelings go over whatever she was saying. Hope they both find some type of true happiness whether it’s love or life🙏🏽 This was a great episode 👍🏽
he just hopes that a 20 something kid will sleep with him. No love or relationship. Just an old man hoping for sex with a barely legal kid. Hope he enjoys jail.
@@cherrymetha3185did you just jump in the comments without watching the video? They were talking for 10 years and she's currently enrolled in Uni. Do the math
Trihn is not a romance scammer. She is actually who she claimed to be and seized on the opportunity for a man to help take care of her, like many other women.
Sized what opportunity? She a scammer did you read her text? Complaining why she’s sent $100 ? She’s actually worse than a scammer she’s behaved like a whore and the only reason you don’t see it because you have the same mentality. You have a brain , legs and feet if you want cash go get yourself. Don’t use and abuse another person’s generosity for your selfish gains and call it “ opportunity “ She belongs to the streets. Thankfully karma doesn’t end in life, she will find out the cost of what she did after death then what, I actually feel sorry for she has no idea that there’s judgement after death … She will find out the hard way.
I'm watching her interview, i retract my comment without deleting....she could be genuine and Levi didn't have the intention to meet, (which by the state on him), is prob true....The black lady very judgemental in interview, saying she wouldn't accept money
There is absolutely nothing wrong with what this woman is doing. If he wants to send her money and extent the relationship that way, that's up to him. Both benefit, she gets money and he gets to talk to someone and have somewhat of a long distance friendship type relationship.
@new_hampshire Most Asians can write in English better than they can speak it. People in Majority English countries have it the other way around because they talk in English all the time. There's plenty of real life relationships where the spark fell off after years and the couple maintain their relationship out of comfort. She doesn't appear to be lying because yes, in her culture men are supposed to be manly and take the first step to either see her or bring her to his country.
Trinh is not a scammer! In this region (Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, etc) it is the expectation for sons and sons-in-law to work and provide for the whole family. Often this means that the men leave their families to find work, sometimes overseas and they will send a large portion of their earnings back to their families at home. Levi and Trinh have been communicating for 10 years with the expectation of marriage, so to accept money from him isn't scamming, it's because of the culture Trinh belongs to. Trinh has put off marriage and the financial stability of having a husband closer to home for Levi only for him to flake out and put off coming to see her for TEN YEARS!?! I don't blame her for being angry with him. This isn't a scam, it's a case of different cultures with different expectations.
Literally my jaw hit the floor when Bri was going in so hard on her I felt so bad especially after they realized she wasn't a scammer and she kept going
I feel like that’s probably why she’s going to school now, because her chances of finding a husband in Vietnam are now most likely slim to none after wasting all this time on that guy. So she’s preparing to fend for herself for the rest of her life if it comes to that, so much judgement from people that don’t understand anything about how other places in the world work, after 10 years of my life gone, I would take the money too and put it towards my savings. If anything, Levi is the true scammer in this one.
Eeeeeerrrr the intention is bad receiving money. She said she doesn't love him anymore but continues leading him on. I am also from the region, Indonesia but surely we don't act like that or me personally. Sure, parents will expect you to give them some sort of money to support them but definitely not from a stranger. No excuse.
He said towards the beginning that he noticed the change in her communication, as if she wasn’t feeling it anymore. And then she confirmed that in the interview. That sounds to me like they did have something and the feelings faded. It does feel really shocking to get dumped, but in hindsight I’m sure he’ll see that it was coming.
I think she liked him at some point and was open to building a life with him but he took forever visiting her, getting her a visa and she started building her life in Vietnam.
It is next to impossible to get a visa for a girl unless you go to her country first and meet her. Preferably marry her. You also need an affidavit of support for immigration, which requires a fairly high income. In many cases, it is easier to just save up money and retire in her country.
YES she used him 100%! She only changed her story because she was confronted and suddenly wanted things to end because she had been found out. Levy was seriously hurt in the very end there, you could hear it in his voice, it was like he had given up. Sometimes that worries me because I'd hate to see a victim of a scammer maybe take their life because of the shock and the hurt or finding out the truth. Sometimes for some people, it is too much. I felt so very bad for him :(
This wasn’t a scam FOR ONCE! I believe she did love him, and he couldn’t, wouldn’t, or didn’t want to ruin the fantasy. She wanted something real. Yeah, she kept accepting money but he also kept stringing HER along as well. She had to move on. Now he needs to as well.
I've seen this sort of circumstance before. I can tell you this. HE was not being honest with you. It's clear, she was asking him to come visit for several years, and he refused (or procrastinated) the entire time, until she finally stopped asking. She pulled the plug on a possible relationship with him shortly after that. HE refused to let go of the thought of her, while never having the confidence (or possibly the finances) to act on his interest. Her patience ran out, and she decided to move on as a independent woman. He thought he was sending money with the hopes that it would keep her around. But the money wasn't what she wanted. She told him to stop and break it off. He just REFUSED to LISTEN to her. AND, he refused to tell YOUR team the truth about their conversations. ALL SHE DID was, what MOST women would done, take the free money since the guy won't listen. ALL SHE DID HERE was SPILL THE BEANS. Remember in your video when he was RELUCTANT to share her information? THIS IS WHY!!
I think maybe he thought once they met, she wouldn't like him in person. His confidence is very low, so he probably kept dragging this out to avoid the possibility of losing her.
"But the money wasn't what she wanted". She sure kept taking it, though. And ASKING for it. We saw the texts. I didn't see texts of her asking him to come to Vietnam. I DID see texts of refusing to even send a birthday card once in 10 years bc "her love is enough". This comment makes me think that the poster is also a scammer or is gullible enough to be scammed themselves. Social Catfish has the texts. They didn't show them bc they wanted ppl to comment bc it boosts the algorithm. Their team wasn't fooled and neither were we-she refused to see him. That says all we need to know.
@@heathernks8 I agree with you 💯. Also she said that for a woman who loved him a little bit of money wasn’t enough . Most of the posts think she is sincere and he is in the wrong and judging by the number of likes , many people agree with these posters I find that really odd ! They’ve seen other people being scammed and it’s the same formula as Trihn uses, yet still think Trihn is sincere. Trihn most likely has a husband and kids . And although it was blurred , by the outline of her face it looked like she wasn’t the same woman in the pics . She sounded like a middle aged woman not a young woman . ( It might have been her when she was young - the face ‘pads ‘ out when you’re older or it may have been her niece , or cousin etc)
It was over a span of 10 years. That's around $416 a month. In the video he clearly says he sends 350 to her each month. If he is paid biweekly that's only 175. Clearly he budgeted to make consistent payments. Its not that hard to believe you just have to understand math.
@@mycinnamongirl I have to think that as well after seeing his place. No disrespect, but it didn't look like the kind of place where someone has that kind of money.
Trinh seemed sincere to me, and Levi showed his love by providing for her and in his mind her acceptance of his money meant that she loved him, too. I hope he finds someone compatible to love, who loves him in return.
They kind of blew this out of proportion. $50,000 over 10 years is like $400 per month. That's probably less than he would have spent if he had an in person girlfriend lol
I thought the same as the others who questioned your idea of $400/mth being an acceptable amount for a man to spend on a girlfriend - that was a crazy idea! I dated my husband for 2 yrs before we became engaged & we were engaged for 2 yrs before we got married (& we didn't live together until after we were married). In all those years I'd NEVER have expected him to spend anywhere near that amount of money on me (even though he was qualified as both an aerospace engineer & an architect). We have been married over 30 yrs now &, in all that time, he has never raised his voice to me, never mind his hand & we're still in love. There are so many other things which are more important than how much you can get a man to spend on one.....
I’m totally on trinh’s side here. She’s real, she’s been real this whole time and my dude didn’t care enough to go out there. He keeps offering his own money up so why wouldn’t she accept it? Yeah morally probably not a great decision but he is in total control of his finances and had no problem doing it while not seeing her for ten years. Plus the guy seems like a complete creep. I was listening to this while grocery shopping and I just kept making faces when he said things about people’s weight and her eyes being slanted and her period etc
I would’ve kept the money toO I mean I don’t think that’s her name but fuck that you’re gonna keep offering me cash I’m gonn live in Vietnam and turn it down 😂 hell no
Nope. Trinh was definitely using him for his money. Remember she told him "that's little kid money" when she wanted a bigger amount from him. Come on now...
There was no evidence presented that showed he insisted she take the money. Those are HER words. But the chat between them shows she kept asking him for money, and then higher amounts.
She’s not a scammer. She has been an opportunist, but so has he. He clearly had no intention of going to see her and wanted the fantasy, the communication, and attention and he was willing to pay for it. She’s accepted help from someone who won’t bother to go and see her for whatever lame reason. You guys were WAY too hard on her. Not impressed.
What he did to her is actually quite common. Guys start talking to girls overseas, promise to meet them, even marry them. The girl is all excited to marry a foreigner. But the guy strings her along and never shows up. After a few years, she stops believing him, now she starts chatting with several guys, hoping one will be honest and come over. Maybe try and get money from each of them. She has turned cynical. It is actually kind of sad. Living overseas, I see it all the time with girls. And you have to see it from their perspective. Sex is a commodity and they are willing to trade it for support. They are desperate to survive and they are willing to form a relationship with a foundation of sex for protection and support. The thing is, if you hook up with one and actually treat her well, she will probably fall in love with you. It just might take a few years. I have seen the other side when I still lived in America. They start talking to a girl, make her all sorts of promises, but they have no real plans to go over. TBH, I think a lot of men are actually afraid to travel. I currently live in Kenya and local girls are constantly trying to get me to hook them up with an American guy. Unfortunately, I have to warn them that most of these American men are flaky and will never show up.
Привет.Я общалась с одним таким парнем.Я из России,он сказал,что из Вермонта.Называл своей женой.Обещал приехать.Даже выслал фото своего авиабилета.Только потом попросил денег,помочь ему с таможней.Я прервала с ним общение.А на душе очень гадкое ощущение.Как будто попала в грязь.Вот так веришь человеку,а оказывается не надо.
Trihn is not a scammer! Vietnamese women are very hardworking and the lady host was acting passively aggressive towards her. Trihn told Trick to stop sending money. Trick no stop. Trihn no longer wants trick.
@danniecurlett8702 she is not scamming. as it turns out trick was the scammer for 10 years telling her he will go see her and he fakes on her. She was working for that money having to deal with a goober like Levy he should pay
@@rudyishogginhow on earth was he the scammer 😂😂😂 never felt more sorry for someone in my life. She scammed him for 10 years. Sure it might have been mutual at the beginning. But certainly not for that time period
This sucks so bad. She is a real person. He was obsessed and infatuated, and only heard what he wanted to hear; wouldn't come to Vietnam to see her even though he kept promising he loved her. He kept sending her money when she told him not to, because it made him feel like he still had some claim over her. Despite the language barrier, there was a time she wanted this. You can understand how hard and how painful it would be, to wait and wait, for ten years for him to come to her, believing he loved her. ...And he never did. If someone broke my heart and wasted ten years of my life, no, I would not feel guilty about taking a consolation prize of $12 every now and then to help with groceries. Especially if I was struggling to make ends meet. Y'all make it sound like he's paying for a luxury apartment, fully supporting her financially, and sending her designer handbags or something. She didn't NEED his help. So unless they have evidence she's been pulling this shit on multiple guys, I believe her.
If it were me... I would have her fly here... On her dime... IN THE VERY BEGINNING... I would not have sent any money... If at the time... She did not want to... For many reasons... That would have been the end of it... Cause... If it were true... That she LOVED ME... She would have found a way... Then... Of course... I would have supported her... Otherwise... I would think that it was just a scam...
@@robertyoung2819i get where you're coming from 100%. But as easy as it sounds, getting a visitor's visa when you're Vietnamese (or any other south east Asian country) isn't easy, you have to prove to local government that you're coming back, and you have to prove to the US government that you're not going to be a flight risk. Both of these things require that you have a significant amount of money saved in the bank, (usually about two years worth of salary, and my understanding is that they lock the account while you're abroad) you have to prove financial records, have a full time job (with a letter from your employer granting your leave of absence along with a scheduled date for returning to work) own/actively lease property, and pass an interview at the embassy with a US Ambassador... Whereas he just has to fill out a a half page document (Cov-19 and Swine Flu screening) and get his passport stamped at the airport. We in the US and Canada have it incredibly easy when it comes to visiting other countries. Southeast Asia has A LOT of red tape.
She may not have needed the money but had no problem taking the money. That amount of U.S. $$ allowed her to live QUITE WELL in her native country -- comparatively speaking. She knew that money went a long way in VN. If she didn't want the money she could have refused the envelopes years ago, but she didn't.
Levy was entertained for 10 years. If he had chosen to go to the movies once a week for ten years to be entertained, it would have cost him the same amount of money.
@@asincerewoman Remember he likes designer clothes and shoes. So perhaps after spending $40 for the movies, he took himself to a nice expensive dinner, then went shopping for his designer clothes and shoes; before you know it, he spent more than $350 monthly. Just sayin.
Exactly. He had her address so why in 10 years did he never go to see her? Is it because he didn't want to leave the comfort of America? He'd have gotten a huge shock at how majority in Vietnam live.
like it or not, she provided a service to this man for 10 years. The amount he sent was well spent if it made him feel good for those 10 years. She was real, and she would have met him if he had been proactive years ago. This is actually a happy ending compared to the others who send thousands to Lagos in exchange for reuploaded pics of scandanavian oil rig workers
I think it would be worse because he knows that he really lost his chance to be with her. If she had been a scammer, there wasn't any chance to be together from the very start, but there was a chance with her at one point.
I feel bad for this woman. I'd be fed up too if my boyfriend refused to come see me for 10+ years. She put her life on hold and didn't pursue any other relationships for a whole decade due to Levy's empty promises. And honestly if he's volunteering to send her money of his own free will he can't really play victim if she is not lying about her identity or what she's using the money for. Also in a lot of cultures men are still expected to be providers and I believe Vietnam is like that
Vietnam is full of scammers. What's to say her husband wasn't the one talking to Levy? Not hard for him to tell her to speak to the scamfish team (to not blow their cover). What people need to understand is that in those SE Asian countries, those women have boyfriends at early ages, and even kids. Unless she's a SW and therefore no guy will take her as a girlfriend. Ain't no way, a pretty girl in SE Asia doesn't have a man or isn't a SW.
Having experience with autism and mental disability in our family it is in my opinion this man certainly appears to be within that spectrum. Leaving him more vulnerable to manipulation than your average person. Scammers target their prey by exploiting vulnerabilities.
I’m from a small pacific island and they will 100 percent keep accepting money if it’s offered. Culture is very different over there and she likely has a lot of responsibilities as a daughter and Levy’s $350 is HUGE over there. I live in California but where I’m originally from, minimum wage is $3.50ph and people from the Philippines come over to work to send money back home. Imagine $3.50ph being considered as making money! She would have accepted his money forever if he kept sending it.
Its offered?? It was offered under the assumption they were husbund and wife and going to get married. This is a scam . It’s not a case we’re a friend was offering donations people come on 😩!!
I lived in the Philippines for 5 years. My wife is from Manila, $350 goes alot further in the Philippines than in the USA. One thing I can tell you is once the woman's family discovers she's with a foreigner they automatically assume she's rich and start hassling her about money. In the beginning of our relationship I sat down and had a long talk about my wife about this. She then told her family to not expect her husband to support them but that still didn't stop them from trying. In the end me and her had to leave Manila and move to Cebu City to get away from the hassle.
If $350 is a lot of money in her country, then she was LYING when she said he sent her "not a lot of money." I can't believe the people on this thread taking someone at their WORD, when the show is all about watching people's actions, and not just what they SAY.
We can’t really believe what this woman was saying. She was obviously lying 🤥 . He did say he wanted to marry the lady. He never said he wanted to be an online husband forever? She was just trying to save face and threw him under the bus. Levi is not stupid. He would not continue to send money if he thought this was platonic..
I met my Vietnamese girlfriend in August 2018. After a few months of _video_ chats with her, I flew to see her late March 2019. We fell in love and I went again later that year, and again in early 2020 before COVID shut things down. I just watched this video with my Vietnamese now wife sitting next me, and we're both gobsmacked at how this played out. I'm very fortunate that I could afford to visit her early and often, but jeez, Levy, what were you thinking? PS My wife was earning about half of what Trinh got from Levy every month in a poorly paid government job, and it was more than two years after we met that she even _considered_ letting me send money to her. Oh, and the thing about the hotel receiving the packages is probably because home addresses aren't very well defined in a lot of places in Vietnam. I always used to send flowers to my wife's work address because her apartment was so difficult to locate for the flower vendor. She had an "official" address but it was more like a PO Box in a government office.
Thank you for the firsthand account. It clarifies a lot, especially the address issue. I suspect Levy sabotaged himself. He didn't sound that confident and even said he was afraid to go meet her and find out she's with someone else. My guess is every time he planned to go for a visit he got cold feet and cancelled, either because he was afraid of her reaction when she saw him (because of his lack of self-confidence,) or because he was afraid he would find her hanging out with other men (again a self-confidence issue.) Levy hid behind his screens and gifts and didn't have the courage to take the next step like you did.
@@Woodman-Spare-that-tree I think the trick must be, this string along fantasy technique that she used on him, for 10+ years. If you go ahead and have a "relationship" or "date", these ODB's, their egos get over inflated, they figure, you're no big deal...the big deal, is actually them. That's the moment, they start doggin' you out and expect the boyfriend, finance and husband treatments, without giving you any $350 per month, to help you pay your bills. He'd be there with you breathing(ewww) and leaving his stench in your bathroom(ewwww)... Imagine that? CRINGEEEE!
Trinh had her own side of the story that sounded at least as good as Levy's. I didn't really like seeing her interrogated. This is the first time that they had a real person on the other side of the "scam". That makes Trinh better than any one else in any previous video. Tell Levy to go or to quit, fine. But give her a break.
It sounds like he was never quite in the financial position to be able to bring her to the US. There are only a few niche fields where he could have lived in vietnam and made a living wage. So it sounds like he was happy to pay for the companionship Of an online relationship. He was probably satisfied with the status quo and not meeting her in person. But just talking online all the time. And that didn't work for her.
Oh, please. I have zero empathy for him. The first thing he said was no woman should be over 160 for him. Has he LOOKED in the mirror? Give me a break.
80% of adult women in the US weigh 170 or less though. He isn't limiting his options by much. The reason the average seems so high is because it accounts for the 800lb types out there. Artifically padding the average on the high end. But the VAST majority of women are within the range he laid out.

We are missing the fact that he loved the idea of his virtual girlfriend but never wanted to ruin that fantasy.
Oh nooo. We must forget all of the intangible benefits HE was getting in his fantasy. We must only focus on him getting "used" for 50k over TEN years by that horrible golddigger!!! 😅
Right? She seemed pretty uprfront about everything and gave him the chance to see her.
Which is why he never took it upon himself to visit her. Can’t kill the fantasy!

Sounds like my brother in law. He wants a 10, but he’s a 2. That’s why he’s 41, never had a girlfriend, unemployed, broke, and living with his grandmother and uncle. The only thing stopping him from being romance scammed is that he’s not a complete idiot, oh and he has no money to send anyone 😂
_he didn’t get scammed. He paid $ for the girlfriend experience._

That was funny. He equates "designer" with "flamboyant."

I’m afraid so 😅
This is the first time I think the person wasn’t scammed just too uninterested to go visit their girlfriend over seas.
I met so many men and women who have online lovers they see on video chat and never meet. To me that’s sad.
He clearly has a cognitive issue. I'm annoyed at how the entire comments section refuses to acknowledge it.

“She has kissable lips, like mine.”
This man has the ego, but no personality. He is a child in an adult’s body. He’s physically grown but mentally stunted.
i agree with you. when he talked he sounded like Forrest gump character in the movie. on that level of IQ.

Glad she accepted to be interviewed and cleared the air. She didn’t scam him… he loved the fantasy and never wanted the reality.
When she continued accepting gifts knowing she was no longer in love-that's when the scamming started..She had an option- cut off ties, stop accepting gifts, Levy would have got the message!
@@ZedRNdisagree. He never intended to meet her. He paid for her virtual companionship. No relationship can be virtual forever. Did he really expect her to go 10 years without physically seeing him? Hugging him? That's borderline cruel. He was paying her more so out of guilt for not being brave enough to go see her.
No empathy this time.
@@thelastofthemachinesthat makes sense, he’s proud of the fact that he hasn’t been with a woman since his wife died.
She's a scammer. I would never accept money from someone I never met. But he was content to be scammed, so it's all good.
@@Mara-d2x a scammer is someone who misrepresents something in an attenpt to defraud. This lady was who she said she was. She asked for money for rent and groceries and he gave it to her. There's no attempt to defraud. Just a lady asking a man for financial help and him consenting to give her money. If he had actually gone to meet her, they may be together today.
She is a real person. It's very rare to see that. After 10 years. She lost love for him. I feel like he's obsessed with her. Money can't buy love. He definitely had his chance to visit her. Until this happens. She wants nothing to do with him. What a shame. I hope he doesn't hurt himself. Hopefully, he will overcome this emotional pain
This. She waited and he never came. It was time to move on. Also Western Union can't really be refused. It's cash more or less, refuse it and it won't go back to the sender.
This is very common, scammers from Asia are very happy to facetime you and still scam you.
Yea he said, "I guess I'll just die a lonely old man." Poor guy.
@@buddah1978egypthahahha what didn't know that, most of the scammers i thought are in india and the africa continent
@ReflexVE I know right. Someone needs to accept it.
She’s frustrated you can tell. She’s had it with him.
I'm more inclined to believe the "scammer" in this case just the way she was willing to take on the call, and her tone and frustration in trying to convince social catfish about it. it's also easy to say you'll reject any money from someone you don't love, but c'mon. Dude was practically paying for gf experience, even if no physical relationship happened, she still spends time with him online.
For a man who looks like he’s about to give birth, he sure is picky with the weight he wants his woman to be. 🤦🏻♀️

@@ThriftyDivas he wants a dime piece
Creepy how he wanted to kiss her all over too.
She’s a champion to come on this show & be sooo honest & open. She in this case hasn’t done anything wrong nor scammed him. He’s brought this on himself
Exactly. He had 10 years to go see her. He knew where she lived but he didn't want to leave his precious America and see how the other side lives. Vietnam poverty is different from American poverty, her house looks middle class for Vietnam standards from what I can see in the video. I'm sure his money helped her get that house, she could have been living in a tin hut when they first met before she got a job.

Never forget that it is also a huge part of Vietnamese culture that you support the family of your gf too. This is normal relationship behaviour as far as she is concerned.
Agreed. I think she is very open that she doesn’t like to be characterized as someone who is mooching money. She’s pointing out that she works and goes to school and isn’t just sitting on the sofa living on his money. I think she didn’t want to hurt him but just couldn’t be as blunt as she needed to be.
@@bstapleton3248 The problem is she no longer wanted him but was happy to take his money.

You’d do the same over a guy you choose to be your mate.
I've noticed the exact same thing!!!
If you notice, these ‘relationships’ are notoriously shallow and the victims always mistake general pleasantries for depth. 95% can’t even identify any sort of African accent…because these people aren’t usually having real conversations and when they do its via text.
Because that’s all they got, a picture they look at
because thats all they have to go by when they never met the person... what else are they supposed to compliment them on without just making it up?
Im with the girl on this one, she has a point. The sparks will die after 10 years of him not seeing her
He wanted to but she didn't. She always had an excuse.
He was also scared to find out who she really is.
So what that shes accepted money...why wouldn't she? She's been waiting to meet him. Good for her!

It’s 10 years guys! Not 10days! In Asian culture, women are often urged to get married early. She literally waited for him 10 years straight but he never showed up. How is she a scammer? You guys are calling her a scammer for receiving money from her boyfriend while they were dating? Like your boyfriend never gives you money or buys you gifts? Also, after realizing she doesn’t love him anymore, she has stopped receiving his money and even told him to stop sending the money. How is that a scammer? A scammer always wants more money, but never dares to have a serious video call like this. And she made a valid point when saying that he kept sending the money so that she would not cut him off. I bet he knew what he was doing too. Now that he knows she is no longer waiting for him, he wants to call her out on this show. Shame on him.
She wasn’t a scammer, she was compensated for the fantasy she provided him and her time.
That's most romance scams. My aunt was scammed out of 224,000 by A Nigerian-Turkisk couple in India. I ran them down and got 20k back. I took it back to America and handed it to her. And by God if she didn't turn around and send it right back. She told me she didn't care if her honey was real or not. That she realized she was paying for a fantasy and that's what she wanted and she wanted everyone to just butt-out of her life..
Pretty much ☝️
Exactly!
Haha 😄 😂
Yep, kind of looks that way to me.
I felt that when she said “I needed him 8 years ago but he not come”…😢
I think there was a minor language barrier between Bri and Trinh. Trinh told her in black and white terms that she wanted Levy to either send for her to America or for him to come to her to meet. Plenty of times throughout the years. He wanted to keep the fantasy alive of that virtual relationship he could escape from and thought it would be ruined if they met for whatever reason. Trinh kept telling Bri that she told him to stop sending money but he kept doing it anyways to continue to keep the door opene for that fantasy relationship he created in his head probably having no intention of traveling there or filling out the paperwork to bring her to America.
She understood money!
Exactly. They should have held an interpreter
@@Frugal637so does he
No language barrier. They seen the messages to know she’s lying and Trinh was called out.
A flight from Chicago to Vietnam is less than $1500. He sent her enough money she could have flown to the US MULTIPLE times.
She's a lying scammer who likely has multiple foreign men she is doing this to.

I don’t see a victim in this scenario.
Some men think they can buy women. He thought if he continued to send her money, she would eventually feel obligated to come to America. Ironic how their sexism makes fools out of men.
Every woman looks to get bought, it's just that the ugly ones get left behind 😂😂😂😂
He didn't pay enough...
He wasn't trying to buy her. He was basically supporting her. You know, the whole "provide and protect" BS men are expected to do? In this case, he thought he was only able to provide for the woman he loved. This has nothing to do with sexism, cause if it did, she would be considered a misandrist for using and manipulating a man financially that has strong feelings towards her. So stop with the gender BS
@@DShun35 he continued to send money even though she told him to stop. he sent her money because it made him feel like he had some claim over her
@@berrylly ....She also didn't tell him how she felt truly about him. He was under the impression that she was still in love. If she would've said that earlier, then I'm sure he would've stopped. It took direct confrontation for her to express how she felt. Manipulator is what she is.
I think she originally was looking for a way to come over to the US and have a chance to earn more money for her family, but after so many years she managed to do it on her own. She probably scammed him in the sense that she pretended to love him, but I think she really planned on meeting him and marrying him. Perhaps after a while his opinions on women annoyed her.
Definitely a possibility. He NEEDS that “DIME”!! 😂

You guys had more hostility towards her than the actual catfishes/scammers on this show. It's obviously a 90 day fiance type of situation, but he never followed through on his end. He chose to send her money, and she's who she says she is. Even when he suspected she didn't love him anymore, he continued to send money instead of looking elsewhere. The "love" was shallow on both ends, if we're being honest. He's barely a victim.
Yes it seems she gave it a chance but at some point she just built a life without him and that's it.
Yeah this is an L video. This channel has always been amateur level and them trying to take the vigilante route is weird. This dude, like most of these “victims,” was just willfully stupid and in denial.

He was using her and the price was 100-300 a month. I hate that they’re trying to make her out to be the bad guy. She didn’t give him ultimatums or threaten him, she’s not scamming. Her heart was in it, but he didn’t take action. He wonders why she’s been acting different - just because you send money doesn’t mean you’re giving her what she needed.
She had no interest in him beyond money or potential citizenship for good reason.
"It doesn't matter what kind of girl I get but short, petite.

I doubt it, women will take money anytime it's presented especially if it's free money. She was only thinking about herself and not the damage she causing this man when she knew she didn't want him. This lady dead ass wrong cause I'm sure he would've stopped if she would've told him she wasn't no longer in love.

Honestly, after 10 years I’m not mad at her or consider her a scammer. I think she told him but he continued to “help” her. She wanted more than just his money but he couldn’t see it. Sad on both sides.
She didn't tell him anything. She is a scamming coward. That's why she told the lady to tell him. She led him on. That 350$ a month is a lot where she is.
I would tend to agree... this story is tragically sad on so many levels.
You “think” she told him? So you made that up in your mind to come to your conclusion lol
You can think all day, but she's south east Asian and that money paid her rent and then some!
@@Nope-sI honestly think she might’ve been young and dreaming of coming to America and having an American boyfriend. But he’s too « american » , he couldn’t go there and risk not seeing her. So he kept what he had, that little bit of a relationship. And like she said, she grew up.
But hey he kept sending money why would she insist on not getting it lol.
I'm just always confused as to how you can fall in love without meeting somebody
It happens, I fell in love with Alicia Keys when I was a teenager and I never met hert hough she did once sing to me but we didn't have any privacy
My wife and I met online and did long distance. Recently I was looking through emails and remembered I bought her engagement ring 3 days before we met in person for the first time. Started dating in February, engaged at the end of July, married the following May

@@iam_ismell are they Muslim? I don't think so.....
I don't believe she told him she didn't love him. She could have just stopped talking to him or changed her number. She used him plain and simple.
Agree 100%. This isn’t a scam. She was fulfilling his emotional needs and he paid her for her time. This is the reality of the situation. Realistically, there are women he could have met in the real world that would have taken him for much more.
I feel bad for both of them. I hate to say this, but I have to agree with Trinh here. She wasn't scamming him. Ten years is a long time. It's 100% true that we become totally different people over time. I don't fault her for accepting the money, and I applaud her for having the bravery to be on camera and to tell the truth.
My younger brother just went through this same situation but he actually went to Thailand and met her. Sucks cause after 4 yrs she ended up getting married. Her excuse, he took too long.
@@gravity-zero2917 Yes, time is a real thing. If your younger brother met her when she was young, then 4 years seems like an eternity. If he met her when she was older, she may have felt like time was running out. It also depends on the person though. I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work out.
I agree. He wasn’t genuine with her. He put off going to see her for whatever useless reason. And these guys were way too hard on her. Really disappointed in how they handled this one.

Someone on his intellectual level could not be his guardian.
@@Liitebulb They aren't those things. They are his preferences. (Ok, they're a little misogynistic.) But he also admitted quickly that his preferred type is out of his league, so I didn't get "entitlement" from him at all.
This is the first one I’ve seen where they were actually real.
If she was a scammer, she wouldn’t even video chat with his friends, like all the Nigerian scammers . They refused to speak to anybody else especially with a video chat, they would hang up the phone right away. . This girl kept talking to them and explained the reason so she’s not a scammer, she was in for a real relationship but he was not sponsoring her to America and he didn’t show up to Vietnam either. He can’t expect a woman to wait for him for over 10 years and still be loyal to him.
True, I think there are cultural differences at play too
Sis, Vietnamese women be scamming too... 😂😂
good point, I wasnt sure if she was playing him or not but like you said, a real scammer would not video chat their victim's friends. She just got tired of waiting on him
This is not true at all. People can allow you to see them and still scam you out of your money. She scammed for money to live a better life where she is. These women are aware of the passport brother movement and are cashing in on it.They know these men have issues getting women in their own country.
@@triple_gem_shiningyeah but this one wasn't
I can't say she's a scammer. She was honest with Levy and he needs to be honest with her. Either go and visit her in Vietnam to make it happen or move on with your lives especially after 10 years. I hope you guys start doing a "Where are they now" series
Nope. Trinh was definitely using him for his money. Remember she told him "that's little kid money" when she wanted a bigger amount from him. Come on now...
She kept taking from him and talking to him..

When Levy said he was sending the money through Western Union and didn't mention gift cards or Bitcoin, I had a feeling she was going to be a real person. I do feel bad for Levy because he seemed to be in a really bad place mentally at the end of the video.
I agree. Catfish should have help him file a police report.

There's something about this situation that he doesn't understand or doesn't want to understand. I can't decide which one it is.
Honestly I think Levi is in love with the idea of being in love.
And it was worth the $350 / month to have that feeling.
Ur on point
Where’s the lie
$83.33/month for 10 years. Cheaper than cable.
He wanted to wait 20 years for a meeting. 10 was too soon to meet this wonderful person.
Never felt sorry for the "scammer" before. She's a woman who wanted to be in a relationship but he never pushed it forward. Why didn't he ever go and see her instead of just sending her money? She's not a scammer. Just hurting.
Also, huge cultural difference. What an episode
I believe he may have wanted the idea of her rather than being with her, LIKE HE WANTED TO BELIEVE HE WAS BEING SCAMMED
not a scammer? she whoever she is, kept asking him for moneyt and accepting it.......kept him on a string for that. If she looks like that she would not be interested in this guy in the US. She could find someone in her own country.. She is a catfish no matter what justification she gives..

Nope. Trinh was definitely using him for his money. Remember she told him "that's little kid money" when she wanted a bigger amount from him. Come on now...
I always love the moment you ask"why are you still communicating?" and the answer is almost always "i like the way they talk to me" and in the messages or voicemails these scammers can't string a sentence together, how do you ever talk to someone with such limited vocabulary?
All their talkingpoints must be shallow, because they could never express anything complex or meaningfull. The sad reality of course is that these people are so attentionstarved that such shallow talks keep them going.
Because HE also has a very limited vocabulary.
I dont think this was a scam. I kind of feel that Levi had cold feet on meeting her and knew she was losing interest, but kept sending things and insisting on sending money to keep her talking to him. I think he just thought if they met in person that she would be disappointed or something, so he wanted to keep it the way it was. After awhile I feel they used one another. She was getting money from him and he was holding onto the idea of the relationship.
So true.
Yes! And I don't like how the Catfish woman kept talking to her!
This woman seemed for open amd honest and up front! Yet the Catfish woman was just being nasty and aggressive for no reason.
No one MADE him send the money. And he even admitted himself that he CHOSE not to go visit her although he could have.
She's given up her young years. Her prime years. Waiting on him.
And we women know that we don't stay young and beautiful and fertile forever. If we're going to have a family with children and a husband, we need to get with them when we're young.
If its been 10 years, then she's at least 28 now. Probably older.
This is the first Catfished episode that I actually liked AND that I blame the "victim" instead of the "scammer". (Because I feel like in all honesty, HE actually scammed HER. 😢)
It was still a scam. She never told him she didn't love him and keep accepting his money and leading him on with no attention of meeting him. She deserves to be harrased on fb now

I understand her perspective. She wanted him to visit, she wanted him to come to her and try to start a life with her. But he wanted to keep it solely online. I think he was afraid of the real thing not measuring up. Ten years is a really long time. He lead her on. Kept saying he'd come see her over and over and never did. That's just sad that he never took the leap.
We can’t really believe what this woman was saying. She was obviously lying 🤥 .
He did say he wanted to marry the lady. He never said he wanted to be an online husband forever?
She was just trying to save face and threw him under the bus. Levi is not stupid. He would not continue to send money if he thought this was platonic..

I see this a lot. Guys start chatting with girls overseas, promise to go over and marry them, but are to lazy to save up the money for a plane ticket, or are afraid to travel and just chicken out. The foreign girls get cynical (I live overseas and see it first hand) and just go after the money. For every American guy that is a victim of a romance scammer, there are probably a dozen foreign girls that got broken promises.
I'm in a similar situation but an expat American. After chatting with this German man living in America I was done after 2 years of not visiting me. Women want to see effort.
The crazy thing is the fantasy could’ve become reality if only he stepped out of his comfort zone and went to meet her.
This guy got the first real woman ever and never traveled to see her 😂😂😂
I’ve never seen anyone tell the same story the person being “scammed” said word from word. Like she said it was 10yrs ago. He really thought he found a girl after being so quiet in school.

Trihn is not a romance scammer. She is actually who she claimed to be and seized on the opportunity for a man to help take care of her, like many other women.
I think so too
That's a romance scammer. She got caught. So she cashed out
Sized what opportunity? She a scammer did you read her text? Complaining why she’s sent $100 ?
She’s actually worse than a scammer she’s behaved like a whore and the only reason you don’t see it because you have the same mentality.
You have a brain , legs and feet if you want cash go get yourself. Don’t use and abuse another person’s generosity for your selfish gains and call it “ opportunity “
She belongs to the streets.
Thankfully karma doesn’t end in life, she will find out the cost of what she did after death then what, I actually feel sorry for she has no idea that there’s judgement after death …
She will find out the hard way.
She never had any intention to have a physical relationship, hence, She is scamming
I'm watching her interview, i retract my comment without deleting....she could be genuine and Levi didn't have the intention to meet, (which by the state on him), is prob true....The black lady very judgemental in interview, saying she wouldn't accept money
There is absolutely nothing wrong with what this woman is doing. If he wants to send her money and extent the relationship that way, that's up to him. Both benefit, she gets money and he gets to talk to someone and have somewhat of a long distance friendship type relationship.
Exactly! Its a kink and i dont know why its labeled as a catfishing ...

He obviously seems a little slow, she also was telling him $50 is not ect. I doubt she ever wanted to meet him.

@@temmiepet4183 she never loved the guy. She had no intentions of a serious relationship she was scamming him out of money with empty promises

She most certainly was a scammer somebody who could speak perfect. English was doing the texting don’t be so naïve.
@new_hampshire Most Asians can write in English better than they can speak it. People in Majority English countries have it the other way around because they talk in English all the time.
There's plenty of real life relationships where the spark fell off after years and the couple maintain their relationship out of comfort. She doesn't appear to be lying because yes, in her culture men are supposed to be manly and take the first step to either see her or bring her to his country.
@@yeaves8189 it’s not real
Trinh is not a scammer! In this region (Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, etc) it is the expectation for sons and sons-in-law to work and provide for the whole family. Often this means that the men leave their families to find work, sometimes overseas and they will send a large portion of their earnings back to their families at home. Levi and Trinh have been communicating for 10 years with the expectation of marriage, so to accept money from him isn't scamming, it's because of the culture Trinh belongs to. Trinh has put off marriage and the financial stability of having a husband closer to home for Levi only for him to flake out and put off coming to see her for TEN YEARS!?! I don't blame her for being angry with him. This isn't a scam, it's a case of different cultures with different expectations.
Thank you!! Please educate yourselves of other cultures before judging so harshly! This episode makes Americans look so ignorant.
Literally my jaw hit the floor when Bri was going in so hard on her I felt so bad especially after they realized she wasn't a scammer and she kept going
I feel like that’s probably why she’s going to school now, because her chances of finding a husband in Vietnam are now most likely slim to none after wasting all this time on that guy. So she’s preparing to fend for herself for the rest of her life if it comes to that, so much judgement from people that don’t understand anything about how other places in the world work, after 10 years of my life gone, I would take the money too and put it towards my savings. If anything, Levi is the true scammer in this one.
She may as well just rob a bank, that a person is poor it doesn't mean it can take advantage of desperate men
Eeeeeerrrr the intention is bad receiving money. She said she doesn't love him anymore but continues leading him on. I am also from the region, Indonesia but surely we don't act like that or me personally. Sure, parents will expect you to give them some sort of money to support them but definitely not from a stranger. No excuse.
He said towards the beginning that he noticed the change in her communication, as if she wasn’t feeling it anymore. And then she confirmed that in the interview. That sounds to me like they did have something and the feelings faded. It does feel really shocking to get dumped, but in hindsight I’m sure he’ll see that it was coming.
I think she liked him at some point and was open to building a life with him but he took forever visiting her, getting her a visa and she started building her life in Vietnam.
It is next to impossible to get a visa for a girl unless you go to her country first and meet her. Preferably marry her. You also need an affidavit of support for immigration, which requires a fairly high income. In many cases, it is easier to just save up money and retire in her country.
YES she used him 100%! She only changed her story because she was confronted and suddenly wanted things to end because she had been found out. Levy was seriously hurt in the very end there, you could hear it in his voice, it was like he had given up. Sometimes that worries me because I'd hate to see a victim of a scammer maybe take their life because of the shock and the hurt or finding out the truth. Sometimes for some people, it is too much. I felt so very bad for him :(
This wasn’t a scam FOR ONCE! I believe she did love him, and he couldn’t, wouldn’t, or didn’t want to ruin the fantasy. She wanted something real. Yeah, she kept accepting money but he also kept stringing HER along as well. She had to move on. Now he needs to as well.
Or he can't figure out the visa process.
It was a scam. He needs to find a woman from a group home
Maybe she wasn’t catfishing but she was definitely using him
she was clearly scamming him. she told him to stop "sending her kid money" lol
She didn't move on. She kept demanding money and accepting and she still will. Unbelievable that everyone believes her.
I've seen this sort of circumstance before. I can tell you this. HE was not being honest with you. It's clear, she was asking him to come visit for several years, and he refused (or procrastinated) the entire time, until she finally stopped asking. She pulled the plug on a possible relationship with him shortly after that. HE refused to let go of the thought of her, while never having the confidence (or possibly the finances) to act on his interest. Her patience ran out, and she decided to move on as a independent woman. He thought he was sending money with the hopes that it would keep her around. But the money wasn't what she wanted. She told him to stop and break it off. He just REFUSED to LISTEN to her. AND, he refused to tell YOUR team the truth about their conversations. ALL SHE DID was, what MOST women would done, take the free money since the guy won't listen. ALL SHE DID HERE was SPILL THE BEANS. Remember in your video when he was RELUCTANT to share her information? THIS IS WHY!!
I think maybe he thought once they met, she wouldn't like him in person. His confidence is very low, so he probably kept dragging this out to avoid the possibility of losing her.
I disagree , she’s clearly a scammer !
"But the money wasn't what she wanted". She sure kept taking it, though. And ASKING for it. We saw the texts. I didn't see texts of her asking him to come to Vietnam. I DID see texts of refusing to even send a birthday card once in 10 years bc "her love is enough". This comment makes me think that the poster is also a scammer or is gullible enough to be scammed themselves. Social Catfish has the texts. They didn't show them bc they wanted ppl to comment bc it boosts the algorithm. Their team wasn't fooled and neither were we-she refused to see him. That says all we need to know.
@@cherrymetha3185 Plenty of them around the world. No one is forcing him to send her a monthly cheque.
@@heathernks8 I agree with you 💯. Also she said that for a woman who loved him a little bit of money wasn’t enough .

I find that really odd ! They’ve seen other people being scammed and it’s the same formula as Trihn uses, yet still think Trihn is sincere.
Trihn most likely has a husband and kids . And although it was blurred , by the outline of her face it looked like she wasn’t the same woman in the pics . She sounded like a middle aged woman not a young woman . ( It might have been her when she was young - the face ‘pads ‘ out when you’re older or it may have been her niece , or cousin etc)
How can a poorly paid guy save 50k in 10 years is my question
And it's a good one. Did he inherit it ? win it on the lotto?. We will see I suppose cos that is a lot of money.
Maybe like some of the victims in other video - they borrow from family/friends or loan from the bank
It was over a span of 10 years. That's around $416 a month. In the video he clearly says he sends 350 to her each month. If he is paid biweekly that's only 175. Clearly he budgeted to make consistent payments. Its not that hard to believe you just have to understand math.

Trinh seemed sincere to me, and Levi showed his love by providing for her and in his mind her acceptance of his money meant that she loved him, too. I hope he finds someone compatible to love, who loves him in return.
They kind of blew this out of proportion. $50,000 over 10 years is like $400 per month. That's probably less than he would have spent if he had an in person girlfriend lol
Who is giving their girlfriend $400 a month?
@@geektanic I'm talking about dates, gifts, helping out with bills, etc.
I thought the same as the others who questioned your idea of $400/mth being an acceptable amount for a man to spend on a girlfriend - that was a crazy idea! I dated my husband for 2 yrs before we became engaged & we were engaged for 2 yrs before we got married (& we didn't live together until after we were married). In all those years I'd NEVER have expected him to spend anywhere near that amount of money on me (even though he was qualified as both an aerospace engineer & an architect). We have been married over 30 yrs now &, in all that time, he has never raised his voice to me, never mind his hand & we're still in love.

Yeah morally probably not a great decision but he is in total control of his finances and had no problem doing it while not seeing her for ten years. Plus the guy seems like a complete creep. I was listening to this while grocery shopping and I just kept making faces when he said things about people’s weight and her eyes being slanted and her period etc

Nope. Trinh was definitely using him for his money. Remember she told him "that's little kid money" when she wanted a bigger amount from him. Come on now...
If his intentions were real...he would have had it in his hands already
There was no evidence presented that showed he insisted she take the money. Those are HER words. But the chat between them shows she kept asking him for money, and then higher amounts.

She’s not a scammer. She has been an opportunist, but so has he. He clearly had no intention of going to see her and wanted the fantasy, the communication, and attention and he was willing to pay for it. She’s accepted help from someone who won’t bother to go and see her for whatever lame reason. You guys were WAY too hard on her. Not impressed.
What he did to her is actually quite common. Guys start talking to girls overseas, promise to meet them, even marry them. The girl is all excited to marry a foreigner. But the guy strings her along and never shows up. After a few years, she stops believing him, now she starts chatting with several guys, hoping one will be honest and come over. Maybe try and get money from each of them. She has turned cynical. It is actually kind of sad.
Living overseas, I see it all the time with girls. And you have to see it from their perspective. Sex is a commodity and they are willing to trade it for support. They are desperate to survive and they are willing to form a relationship with a foundation of sex for protection and support. The thing is, if you hook up with one and actually treat her well, she will probably fall in love with you. It just might take a few years.
I have seen the other side when I still lived in America. They start talking to a girl, make her all sorts of promises, but they have no real plans to go over. TBH, I think a lot of men are actually afraid to travel. I currently live in Kenya and local girls are constantly trying to get me to hook them up with an American guy. Unfortunately, I have to warn them that most of these American men are flaky and will never show up.
I agree with your sentiment 100% 😄
Привет.Я общалась с одним таким парнем.Я из России,он сказал,что из Вермонта.Называл своей женой.Обещал приехать.Даже выслал фото своего авиабилета.Только потом попросил денег,помочь ему с таможней.Я прервала с ним общение.А на душе очень гадкое ощущение.Как будто попала в грязь.Вот так веришь человеку,а оказывается не надо.
Hell no she used him he not a handsome looking man 😂
Agree.
Trihn is not a scammer! Vietnamese women are very hardworking and the lady host was acting passively aggressive towards her. Trihn told Trick to stop sending money. Trick no stop. Trihn no longer wants trick.
Underrated comment
Precisely !!!
talking about sleeping under a rock if she not scamming then what is it lol
@danniecurlett8702 she is not scamming. as it turns out trick was the scammer for 10 years telling her he will go see her and he fakes on her. She was working for that money having to deal with a goober like Levy he should pay
@@rudyishogginhow on earth was he the scammer 😂😂😂 never felt more sorry for someone in my life. She scammed him for 10 years. Sure it might have been mutual at the beginning. But certainly not for that time period
This sucks so bad. She is a real person. He was obsessed and infatuated, and only heard what he wanted to hear; wouldn't come to Vietnam to see her even though he kept promising he loved her. He kept sending her money when she told him not to, because it made him feel like he still had some claim over her.
Despite the language barrier, there was a time she wanted this. You can understand how hard and how painful it would be, to wait and wait, for ten years for him to come to her, believing he loved her. ...And he never did.
If someone broke my heart and wasted ten years of my life, no, I would not feel guilty about taking a consolation prize of $12 every now and then to help with groceries. Especially if I was struggling to make ends meet. Y'all make it sound like he's paying for a luxury apartment, fully supporting her financially, and sending her designer handbags or something. She didn't NEED his help. So unless they have evidence she's been pulling this shit on multiple guys, I believe her.
💯 agree
If it were me... I would have her fly here... On her dime... IN THE VERY BEGINNING... I would not have sent any money... If at the time... She did not want to... For many reasons... That would have been the end of it... Cause... If it were true... That she LOVED ME... She would have found a way... Then... Of course... I would have supported her... Otherwise... I would think that it was just a scam...
@@robertyoung2819- Or, if you really loved her, you would have found a way to visit her??
@@robertyoung2819i get where you're coming from 100%. But as easy as it sounds, getting a visitor's visa when you're Vietnamese (or any other south east Asian country) isn't easy, you have to prove to local government that you're coming back, and you have to prove to the US government that you're not going to be a flight risk. Both of these things require that you have a significant amount of money saved in the bank, (usually about two years worth of salary, and my understanding is that they lock the account while you're abroad) you have to prove financial records, have a full time job (with a letter from your employer granting your leave of absence along with a scheduled date for returning to work) own/actively lease property, and pass an interview at the embassy with a US Ambassador... Whereas he just has to fill out a a half page document (Cov-19 and Swine Flu screening) and get his passport stamped at the airport.
We in the US and Canada have it incredibly easy when it comes to visiting other countries. Southeast Asia has A LOT of red tape.
She may not have needed the money but had no problem taking the money.
That amount of U.S. $$ allowed her to live QUITE WELL in her native country -- comparatively speaking. She knew that money went a long way in VN.
If she didn't want the money she could have refused the envelopes years ago, but she didn't.
Why didn't he go see her earlier?!She is not unreasonable to say that she waited in vain for him for 10 yrs until she no longer loves him!
Isn’t it obvious he’s is a shy person. He did not muster the courage.
@@inttubu1for 10 years???
@@inttubu1 the guy who bragged about only wearing "designer clothes" and having "kissable lips" isn't shy lmao
Levy was entertained for 10 years. If he had chosen to go to the movies once a week for ten years to be entertained, it would have cost him the same amount of money.
Good point.
Your math is off. That is only $40 a month. He was sending her $350 a month. Big difference to me.
@@asincerewoman , whatever the amount, I think it’s fair on both sides. He got what he wanted and she got what she wanted.
@@asincerewoman Remember he likes designer clothes and shoes. So perhaps after spending $40 for the movies, he took himself to a nice expensive dinner, then went shopping for his designer clothes and shoes; before you know it, he spent more than $350 monthly. Just sayin.
@@jbissaintheno it’s really not. You know what you’re getting when you buy a movie ticket. False equivalency
He was worried she was seeing another man when he has never met her in person 😂😂😂 can’t make this stuff up
Exactly. He had her address so why in 10 years did he never go to see her? Is it because he didn't want to leave the comfort of America? He'd have gotten a huge shock at how majority in Vietnam live.
like it or not, she provided a service to this man for 10 years. The amount he sent was well spent if it made him feel good for those 10 years. She was real, and she would have met him if he had been proactive years ago. This is actually a happy ending compared to the others who send thousands to Lagos in exchange for reuploaded pics of scandanavian oil rig workers
I think it would be worse because he knows that he really lost his chance to be with her. If she had been a scammer, there wasn't any chance to be together from the very start, but there was a chance with her at one point.
@@PamMinnick I don't buy it
totally agree He was paying for his fantasy woman that in reality he would not get.
Hard not to feel bad for Levy but he got what he was paying for, . . . his laundry list of superficial specifications that won't exist IRL : (
well at least his laundry is designer... apparently.
Thank you, that needed to be said. Super weird specifics like ewwww.
I feel bad for this woman. I'd be fed up too if my boyfriend refused to come see me for 10+ years. She put her life on hold and didn't pursue any other relationships for a whole decade due to Levy's empty promises. And honestly if he's volunteering to send her money of his own free will he can't really play victim if she is not lying about her identity or what she's using the money for. Also in a lot of cultures men are still expected to be providers and I believe Vietnam is like that
Vietnam is full of scammers. What's to say her husband wasn't the one talking to Levy? Not hard for him to tell her to speak to the scamfish team (to not blow their cover). What people need to understand is that in those SE Asian countries, those women have boyfriends at early ages, and even kids. Unless she's a SW and therefore no guy will take her as a girlfriend. Ain't no way, a pretty girl in SE Asia doesn't have a man or isn't a SW.
Having experience with autism and mental disability in our family it is in my opinion this man certainly appears to be within that spectrum. Leaving him more vulnerable to manipulation than your average person. Scammers target their prey by exploiting vulnerabilities.
Did you miss the 50% of the video where we found out she's not a scammer? I didn't know we could diagnose ASD remotely off a video, 'doctor'?
The best line in the whole video was when he said "I hardly got any sleep I got maybe 8 hours"
I would love to get 8 hrs uninterrupted sleep. Lol
🤣🤣🤣
the most hours I get on a school night is 4😭 8 hours is a dream
I think he said 3 hours
Yes. He said 3 hours
It was very rude how yall attacked that woman. This is not a catfish episode, it’s 90 day fiancé.
You just confused 🤔 me 😂
Yes lol
What’s a 90 day fiancé?
it's a tv show@@isyt1
@isyt1 "90 Day Fiancé" is a US reality TV show.
I’m from a small pacific island and they will 100 percent keep accepting money if it’s offered. Culture is very different over there and she likely has a lot of responsibilities as a daughter and Levy’s $350 is HUGE over there. I live in California but where I’m originally from, minimum wage is $3.50ph and people from the Philippines come over to work to send money back home. Imagine $3.50ph being considered as making money! She would have accepted his money forever if he kept sending it.
Its offered??
It was offered under the assumption they were husbund and wife and going to get married.
This is a scam .
It’s not a case we’re a friend was offering donations people come on 😩!!
So you would scam without any remorse. It is good when people show their true colors. You go girl!
I lived in the Philippines for 5 years. My wife is from Manila, $350 goes alot further in the Philippines than in the USA. One thing I can tell you is once the woman's family discovers she's with a foreigner they automatically assume she's rich and start hassling her about money. In the beginning of our relationship I sat down and had a long talk about my wife about this. She then told her family to not expect her husband to support them but that still didn't stop them from trying. In the end me and her had to leave Manila and move to Cebu City to get away from the hassle.
If $350 is a lot of money in her country, then she was LYING when she said he sent her "not a lot of money." I can't believe the people on this thread taking someone at their WORD, when the show is all about watching people's actions, and not just what they SAY.
At least she was the actual real person he was talking to. I am in shock
Trinh is not wrong, she seemed like she was really hurt and for a legitimate reason. This one doesn’t seem like a scam
So stop accepting $. She really mad she stop take money!!!
Nah, she was real hurt that she was exposed and the gravy train of cash was ending. Borderline scam artist.
It was a scam
Continuing to accept money under false pretext is a scam !
Women stop taking men’s money and using men.
We can’t really believe what this woman was saying. She was obviously lying 🤥 .
He did say he wanted to marry the lady. He never said he wanted to be an online husband forever?
She was just trying to save face and threw him under the bus. Levi is not stupid. He would not continue to send money if he thought this was platonic..
@@BackroomsBoi👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I met my Vietnamese girlfriend in August 2018. After a few months of _video_ chats with her, I flew to see her late March 2019. We fell in love and I went again later that year, and again in early 2020 before COVID shut things down.
I just watched this video with my Vietnamese now wife sitting next me, and we're both gobsmacked at how this played out. I'm very fortunate that I could afford to visit her early and often, but jeez, Levy, what were you thinking?
PS My wife was earning about half of what Trinh got from Levy every month in a poorly paid government job, and it was more than two years after we met that she even _considered_ letting me send money to her.
Oh, and the thing about the hotel receiving the packages is probably because home addresses aren't very well defined in a lot of places in Vietnam. I always used to send flowers to my wife's work address because her apartment was so difficult to locate for the flower vendor. She had an "official" address but it was more like a PO Box in a government office.
Thank you for the firsthand account. It clarifies a lot, especially the address issue. I suspect Levy sabotaged himself. He didn't sound that confident and even said he was afraid to go meet her and find out she's with someone else. My guess is every time he planned to go for a visit he got cold feet and cancelled, either because he was afraid of her reaction when she saw him (because of his lack of self-confidence,) or because he was afraid he would find her hanging out with other men (again a self-confidence issue.) Levy hid behind his screens and gifts and didn't have the courage to take the next step like you did.
Thank you ❤
You nasty. You really had no shame telling your sexpat story?
Congratulations. I have visited Vietnam...I love it there. My fiance is in the Philippnes, where I often go.
@@shawnstatzer95 Good luck! It's a slow and expensive process getting her over here (if you're from the US...) but worth it!
10 years and never met but kept sending money? I'm intrigued. I can't wait to watch this.
Why don’t I ever meet men who want to send me money?

@@Woodman-Spare-that-tree I think the trick must be, this string along fantasy technique that she used on him, for 10+ years. If you go ahead and have a "relationship" or "date", these ODB's, their egos get over inflated, they figure, you're no big deal...the big deal, is actually them. That's the moment, they start doggin' you out and expect the boyfriend, finance and husband treatments, without giving you any $350 per month, to help you pay your bills. He'd be there with you breathing(ewww) and leaving his stench in your bathroom(ewwww)... Imagine that? CRINGEEEE!
And those crusty Jordans at 1:20 😂… my gawd dude 😅
Trinh had her own side of the story that sounded at least as good as Levy's. I didn't really like seeing her interrogated. This is the first time that they had a real person on the other side of the "scam". That makes Trinh better than any one else in any previous video. Tell Levy to go or to quit, fine. But give her a break.
She would prefer western union 😂
It sounds like he was never quite in the financial position to be able to bring her to the US. There are only a few niche fields where he could have lived in vietnam and made a living wage. So it sounds like he was happy to pay for the companionship Of an online relationship. He was probably satisfied with the status quo and not meeting her in person. But just talking online all the time. And that didn't work for her.
She shouldn't be using men online and taking their money
@@chantellethecool1why didn't he get off his arse and go and see her? Nothing was stopping him. She never stopped him.
@@1108-g1qcourse he was, there are flights to Vietnam every day. He had 10 years to go see her, I think he just didn't want the fantasy to end.

Lmao
80% of adult women in the US weigh 170 or less though.
He isn't limiting his options by much.
The reason the average seems so high is because it accounts for the 800lb types out there. Artifically padding the average on the high end.
But the VAST majority of women are within the range he laid out.
It's his personal preference. He's allowed to say what he likes and doesn't like.
