The video of him talking is so obviously fake. No way she didn't possibly notice the door behind him wiggling and the weird, unnatural movements of his mouth. Quite bizarre.
And that goofy voice too LOL
I did not notice the door, because I was so creeped out by the mouth and the voice.
And the no blinking blinking.
she only saw what she wanted to see.
So weird!
LADIES THIS IS WHY HAVING HIGH SELF ESTEEM IS IMPORTANT!!! A man telling you good morning and asking if you've eaten should not knock you off your feet
💯
I agree & it's called self-esteem for a reason. You need to give it to yourself & not base your value off of what someone else says or makes you feel.
She said she wanted a man to love her as much as she'd love him. She needs to love herself as much as she'd love some man.
"Learning to Love yourself is the greatest gift"
That "have you eaten" thing is so weird. Must be a cultural thing
I was watching Law & Order Criminal Intent & a woman was very manipulative. Goren was describing her psychosocial make up saying the slightest compliment from a man made her feel there was a relationship going on when there wasn't & he said that's Borderline behavior. It was an ahah moment for me & reminded me of these women that are catfished & keep denying that the scammer isn't scamming them.
Speaks to how poorly women are treated in our society in general that basic care and respect feels rare.
Married at 15?? Jesus. She’s been a victim her entire life 😭 She needs therapy DESPERATELY
Married at 15 = she was groomed.
Shotgun wedding.
She’s a lost cause, no one can help her anymore
she's an adult, she has not been a victim by force all her life. she was only married for 5 years. she chose it as an adult. she had the opportunity to choose differently.
@@Skatejock21tell me you don’t know how trauma works without telling me.
Did you eat today? THAT'S A NIGERIAN PERSON. 😂😂😂😂😂
Or Ghanaian
or chinese
Somalian lol
Dominican chapiadoras too 🤣🤣🤣
Did you eat queen 😂
That fake video of him was creepy AF & yet I couldn't stop laughing at it.
Dude , I had to watch it twice lol .
I'm going to watch it again. I need a laugh at the moment. How can you not know it was fake. This guy though is an awful person. I'd like to have him in a room he can't get out of with 20 Rottweilers.
@@Loveandlight445 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s ridiculous! PLUS the guy had a VERY obvious Nigerian/African accent. It’s so obvious!!
Plus
9:14… “I’m not a stupid person.” YES, YES YOU ARE!
Don’t you watch catfish to see how much people use fake pictures and hide behind the keyboard. I will never go online not even to seek common friends. Because you never know who you’re talking to all that money he collected he can live in luxury in Nigeria people make a serious money by scamming innocents people. I really sorry that he walk into this scam I hope you learn from this mistake.
I’m Nigerian. This is vile. I work abroad. And I always pause before I say where I’m from. Sometimes I just say I’m from Africa. Then I decided to not let these vile people represent me.
They say things are hard. Yes. They are. I went months without getting paid. Never ONCE did it cross my mind to take another person’s hard earned money!!!!! How dare you implicate another person!
I hate it. I hate it. Look. It’s really hard. I know. I lived that life and I know how hard it is to get work sometimes. But. There’s good honest work too. I know sometimes my employers couldn’t pay me. But we kept our heads down and worked. And then got headhunted out of Nigeria by an international country. There’s legal ways to survive. Maybe you won’t have much, but at least you will sleep knowing that you didn’t steal the money you have.
This really infuriated me! Everyone can give excuses. But tell you what. As much as these morally bankrupt individuals are screaming there’s no work, you should see how some of them revile their ‘targets’. With so much disdain and a complete lack of empathy.
I’m so sorry for the rant. But I saw this and I was so mad.
I know many Nigerian people, and they are honest, kind, and hardworking. These scammers are not a representation of you.
Thank you for this. And don't ever be afraid to tell people where you're from. The few Nigerian people I know have been amazing, honest, intelligent, and kind. My spouse is from Malaysia and knew a bunch of Nigerian people there, and says the same about them. You do your country proud.
I am Nigerian, and I grew up in America but live in Nigeria to raise my kids. I keep face palming when I hear about these scams. The sad part is that they also scam Nigerians in Nigeria as well. It's just sad.
Good for you. Sounds like you are a good man. There are always bad people in all countries, still be proud of who you are. Good luck.
I’m African American so I’m screwed either way.
"He has an answer for everything" NO he doesn't. It's always "trust me babe." That's not an answer.
Exactly
It is an answer for people like her
@@12345Yeah "People like her"?
@@12345Yeah😂😂😂

OMG when she said shes not a stupid person!! 🤦🏼♀️🤣 Two banks closing your account should have got you wondering!!
These delusional folks love making convincing statements about themselves since they have to convince themselves and others against what REALITY says. Woman boast about dating younger men (guaranteed bottom of the barrel men), says she's not stupid but did every stupid thing imaginable (SSN info, bank cards, etc.)!
The scammers all run similar schemes and the marks are all the same with delusion, narcissism, inflated ego, etc. (exception actual VICTIMS who have mental disorders). I don't see these delusional narcissist as victims...they just got played by their own false reality.
Yes who is stuppit here
It's all surreal these shows
I’m a “senior citizen” and have seen far too many in my age group fall for this nonsense. I’m thinking about doing a lecture tour to senior centers in my area & beyond to help them know what to look for…it’s just too sad.
Good I hope you get scammed
The older you get the dumber you get
(Edited for the Karen under me)😘
@@7791Dnot really, you probably just get more lonely, remember these scams has nothing to do with intelligence
I say go for it,
My Dear! You could be saving someone's life!
@@7791D
Let me help you.
It's spelled "dumber".
And I've run into quite a few "dumb" young people in life also. While age plays a factor, it's more a person's mentality.
I get facebook messages from random guys. I block them immediately. I know they are scammers trying their luck. Their profile pictures are always handsome men. I'm 46, out of shape and own cats. I'm a realist who knows I'm not attractive to hot young men. I wish these women who get scammed had more self awareness.
Completely agree with you 👍
AND they have ‘friends’ that are lots of women but only 1-2 men (if scammer is a male), and lots of ‘friends’ that are male but only 1-2 women (if scammer is a female). Many of them only have one or two posts of their supposed picture.
@@lynnettep9517I get friend requests that appear to be from women in their 20s. I look at their profile and right away I can see it's fake. Only about maybe four pictures and maybe one or two comments, and the profiles look like they were created that same day - those are enough to tell me that they're not real. I have become too wise to fall for that kind of foolishness, and POW I block them. Nice try, scammer. Not with me, not ever. Go find yourself another sucker. A-B-See ya! 🏃🚴🚴✈️ _(10/7/2023)_
@@lynnettep9517yep, scammers always have tons of women or men as friends depending on which one they are trying to scam. That’s should be a turn off to all single women and men.
I love that you said, I own cats 😂❤
I always wonder if they met someone in the grocery store or in an elevator or the laundromat would they be willing to share their banking info, credit card numbers & copies of their drivers licenses within a couple of weeks if they were called “babe” & asked if they had eaten. I’m not judging, I just don’t understand why people think they know someone they’ve never met.
Agreed 💯. You certainly would NOT share bank account details and such like with someone you met at the supermarket three weeks ago..... yet happily send details to someone you have never met over the internet. I really have a hard time wrapping my head around such insanity
When I first started watching this show a few months ago a commentor said...
"And these are the same people who don't trust family and friends and wouldn't give them a damn dime."
For some reason that always stuck with me.
Greed and lust. 2 of the seven deadly sins. Having poor character is how evil gets it's hooks into you.
Sad part it’s not a scam to the bank because she willingly gave up her information
Because it's total fantasy. If they actually met them they couldn't create the fairy tale of helping this gorgeous person who needs them and their help. This is all based on imagination.
When she said I only date men 10 years YOUNGER 😂
😂😂😂😂😂s😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly. She should be more reallistic. Years ago I met a man at a dance hall. He was really nice but a bit boring so I only dated him once. I bet he'd have made a great husband.
i don’t understand how a generation that warned their kids/nieces/nephews about stranger danger, predators, etc can be so utterly clueless about those same exact things in their own lives. it boggles my mind.
Absolutely!!!!
Its bc they never thought they'd end up so lonely in old age. No one wants to talk to the elderly. Society views them as boring, inactive physically and mentally, clueless about modern life, etc etc. They warned their kids to never talk to strangers while not knowing the feeling that later in life usually a stranger is the only one who wants to talk to you. Let that sink in
@@zerocal76 i mean, i think that’s an oversimplification and generalization of the elderly. plenty of elderly ppl have exciting, joyful lives filled with friends, family, pets, hobbies. “no one wants to talk to the elderly” isn’t true. there are countless cases on this channel of ppl who have children that beg them not to send these scammers money (often times, money that was originally being saved for their children's schooling) and they still don't understand. it's often BECAUSE of these cases that their families stop talking to them.
@@cb-akp You're right. My stmt was too general. A more accurate stmt would be "When it comes to the elderly, apart from their immediate families, most ppl don't maintain a friendship or relationship w/ them." You may disagree but at least in the US this is true. I know its varies by country and culture.
@@zerocal76you’re absolutely right. While what the other person said is also true that many elderly still have full and happy lives, loneliness is rampant in that population. People are so self absorbed these days even when they don’t mean to be. Their children are gone raising their own families while constantly telling themselves that when life slows down they’ll visit their parents more, maybe they’re widowed or have health issues so they struggle to get out into the community. It’s incredibly sad, and an important reminder that we should be calling our loved ones regularly and visiting as much as possible. Sadly, it’s only going to get worse… loneliness is an epidemic even in younger generations these days… we need to be kinder while showing love and support to the people around us. God Bless.
I caught mine! He revealed himself after I confronted him. He then tried to continue the scam as himself. That seems to be a new trend. These guys are sick. 😢
I have been hearing those types of stories a lot lately.
Have you ate today? 😂😅
It's not new, it's been that way for over a decade. When caught, they still attempt to continue
A BILLION dollar industry!!!
Rhonda.. my Queen, have you eaten today? All jokes aside, I’m glad you made it through this awful experience and learned who it really was. You’re truly beautiful ❤🦝
She gave him everything he asked for, log in bank detail, email password, driving license etc. Even quits her job and says she is not a stupid person, she is totally brainwashed.
She seemed like a lovely lady and hopefully her anger at the end will stop her being scammed again. But yes she was incredibly naive (and stupid) to do all she did, whilst proclaiming passionate love for him. A five year old child could see and hear that video was fake.....I simply cannot comprehend how a fully grown adult could fall for such nonsense.
@@elipotter369 Well, she is.
Not brainwashed, desperate and delusional
He left her high and dry with a dream
And now that he has her ss# she'll be scammed for the rest of her life
Say what you want about her gullibility, but I really respect how quickly she changed her mind when shown the evidence, and how she immediately wanted to confront the scammer herself.
Exactly
Omg that video was so obviously a deep fake! And the voice is a dead giveaway it is a scam!!
True, but that fake video would have been the big red flag for her, even showing some people evidence they won't stop, they will refuse to accept it, I'm glad she listened and confronted that wicked scammer.
I feel sorry for her💔
That video of the guy AI shapeshifting was Hillarious 😂 these people are so desperate they would fall for anything
Yeah, I know. I was laughing just watching the thing move, it was really weird looking. And yeah, her desperation was off the charts!
Lmao the door was warping and bending as the guys mouth moved.
Shape-shifting 😂😂😂😂. I'm dead
💯
That thing was horrible. Lol I was thinking what is this??
Im always amazed how little people need to believe
Do you know how long till the video starts? I cannot seem to find it.
9:32 “I don’t want to lose this dream”…. This is all it is for all of these victims.
2:55 “this guy is so out of my league”
She knows the truth but falls for the easiest lines “what did you eat today? How are you”
Literally if a guy who was not her type of Chad would ask her this, she would not be so flattered.
Literally these women don’t need the guy to say anything and they can make up the dialogue in their head. Just be 6ft, head full of hair, beard, wealthy (and they still give all their money away to these scammers), it’s honestly sick and they deserve to be alone
Desperate lonely people who see a chance to finally have a chance at love? They fall for it. Sure, there's doubt I can imagine but they continue just for the chance that it's real and emerge themselves in this fairytale fantasy world to the extent they believe it's true. This lady probably never had a proper loving relationship in her life and if her first marriage was at 15, probably never an example of a relationship where she would feel self-confident. Those feckers go after these ladies. They will throw hooks in multiple directions (I've been contacted so many times, unfortunately for them i'm not falling for their crap but that's because I'm not desperate for a relationship.). Those who are will ignore the red flags because they want to believe
True, but they are obviously women (and men) with issues and some cognitive impairment. Out of 3000 women they approach, maybe one or two would fall for it.@@PaulAllen786
This woman was married at fifteen?? That’s child abuse. My heart goes out to her.
I think it depends on where it is - some places the age of consent is lower than others, some you need to get the parent’s permission. She said she was from Arkansas so if the wedding happened there she may have been considered an adult there at the time.
....Some places it is legal. But yes it sounds horrendous. And it may explain her naive state of mind.
@@jeank5410Arkansas has been or are still a state with very high rate of child marriages. In some states of America parents let their children live with older men and when I say children I mean by the age of 10-11. The kids are usually from poorer uneducated families.
She may well have been trying to get out of an abusive home and marriage was the first offered option. People from non-abusive homes don’t routinely get married at 15 in this country.
@@jeank5410just because it is (or was) legal does NOT mean it's not abusive!
This is the most talkative scammer I’ve ever seen! Usually they’re like “ok bye baby gotta go”
Because it's their means of income and messing with them wastes their time!
I had a scammer contact me a while ago pretending to be an artist I love. I told him I knew juju and was into sacrificing snakes and then they blocked ME! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I used to live in Nigeria as a kid and I know their culture, but don't get me wrong, most Nigerians are very kind loving people.
Yes they are.
Kind of you to say that because we need not put these
few a**holes into the same pot as an entire population of people.
🤣🤣juju
Best praying mantis ever ❤❤❤❤
I was excited because a scammer contacted me. I wanted to mess with him, but my insta is all content of my chickens so I think I scared him off.
❤❤❤ that’s awesome! Good for you!
That talking video face is the most terrifying thing I've ever seen in my life. It looked like somebody poured a glass of water into a robot to see what would happen.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
😂yep. Exactly.
I was trying to think what it reminded me of, and that's it exactly! Thanks.
To think that she fell for it😂😂😂😂. No hope for this lady
His accent was just so bad as well. I'm a Nigerian and I can tell you that man learned everything he knows from the street. The properly educated folks here sound very refined and eloquent when they talk
I have many Nigerian Friends and they are awesome.
It's a shame the few scammers have put a nasty taint on a entire population.
@@SonjaElizabethTeal Not a few. Groups of people do this "job" in Nigeria. Country number 1 of scammers.
I think his story about getting an education was a load of BS.
Makes me embarrassed to be part Nigerian at times
Yeah, I had some long time Nigerian friends and they spoke intelligently and they were very humble. They never asked for money. One woman would send me recordings of her singing and I enjoyed them.
How she doesn't hear that Nigerian accent is beyond me. No way would that white man sound like that 😅
Scammers know from experience that they still have a foot in the door and can be reeled back in when their victims continue to communicate with them after they've been revealed.
SOLUTION: Silence is the only last word you need for revenge
Love that last sentence!
With that stupid, dorky sounding voice!😂😂😂
It is the same with narcissistic abuse. You HAVE to cut ALL contact to begin to heal. These scammers use many of the same tactics as NPDs.
That’s what I try to teach my kids. Best way to have the ultimate last word is to say nothing at all.
GHOST them. Ghosting is disrespectful, but with scammers, you need to literally ghost them so they can leave you alone. Besides, they are scamming more than one person. If you ghost them, they will forget about you.
The worst is she was actively helping him to scam others.
That fake video had me rolling. The mouth and crazy eye movements are hilarious.
The voice 🙊
As a Nigerian, am so disappointed. This annoys me. People like this tarnish the name of Nigerians. I feel sad for her. Those scammers should be arrested.
I agree. I’m so sorry, majority of Nigerian people are decent and good
Bad people in every country color race and normal person would judge you by ur character not ethnicity
I’m so glad that Vlad mentioned that Nigeria is a great place with great people. I’m American, but after watching so many of these videos, I worry that so many people will have a negative perception of Nigerians all over the world.
Three quarters of these scams, come from Nigeria - mainly Lagos and Port Harcort. Sadly Nigeria is the scam capital of the world! Some great people for sure - some kind and compassionate people... but some criminals there are untouchable !
not defending no one but i think you know why nigerians do the things that do for a continent rich in resources its one with the least opertunitys for a large group of ppl
5:43 The scammer said “come see me in Miami” and she quit her job & sold her home, unprovoked. It’s hard to call someone a victim when they willingly participate in the scam.
No, it’s still easy to call her a victim. Even though she’s a fool. She’s being emotionally manipulated. Make sense?

Agreed!
Great job…Both Teams!
I absolutely love the Trilogy Media dream team! 💪🏻
More please. Art did a great job talking to this scammer.
I was on Tinder, so many fake accounts, a couple of them tried to scam me. As soon as I heard they were soldiers or an actor, I was out. I never doubted in my heart that when I felt someone was a scam. Women, you need to wake the heck up.
True that, I got a match on Tinder with this professional looking bearded guy and he was straight away unavailable and on his way to the airport. Blocked him right away. Also some soldiers on Insta haha. I don't use either app anymore.
Advice to anyone who receives these suspicious messages on any dating sites or Facebook.. all you have to reply is ONE word and that word is "Ode". In Nigerian language that means DUMBASS. Believe me the scammers are dumb enough to reveal themselves. I've done this MANY times and they fall for it 🤣
Volunteer not a victim. She sent him all her personal financial data...something she wouldn't do for the person sitting next to her in church...but she does it for someone she has never met. "I am not a stupid person..."
Evidence proves otherwise.
I was irritated when she said she was looking for happily ever after and 3 sentence later says she only dates guys 10 younger than her.
I know, but consider her emotions, she is not in her right senses. Love clouded all her judgments. Unfortunately sad, I been there in my younger days!
@@heavenlymajestickingCome on.. "I only date guys 10 years younger"? She's acting like she looks like Britney Spears. That's not clouded judgment, that's borderline narcissistic. I'm 50 years old, do yoga, plilates, work out every day, and I try to have a "gratitude attitude". If we spark, I'm interested in a date whether you're 33 or 63. You have to give ppl a chance.
I can't feel sorry for this one. She's not a POS like many of the other people on this show but she's just too damn old to be falling for this and I can only watch people self destruct for so long.
"I'm not a stupid person".
I beg to differ, ma'am.
We all want a happily ever after but life isn't that way. Please BOTH LADIES AND GENTLEMEN DO NOT FALL VICTIM OF THESE SCAMS. Anyone who loves you will not put you in such a situation
Since you used all caps, it’ll get the message across.
@@hoosierbaddy3052 Technically they only used one sentence as all caps.😉😁🤭
well said !
Life could be that way if people weren’t delusional & didn’t engage in financial transactions with strangers online lol.
To be honest with you, I don’t know how anyone with a functioning intellect can fall for the scams. It just baffles me.
So he opens with 'You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen' and all alarm bells did not go off?
So did you think he had never seen a woman before?
C'mon!
And yes, if you thought he had a British accent, you are stupid.
Giving that much information away to a stranger is MIND BOGGLING!
He’s her Kangz
Hi can we be friends ♥️
All of these "Victims" fall for the looks they are not equivalent to. If you are a person that will give EVERYTHING for looks and say I only want men 10 years younger than me... You deserve what you get.
@@tiffanyblack6911
I agree, I’m a woman in the winter of her life and I just can’t even imagine being attracted to a 30 something model type man. What the hell do we have in common? Absolutely nothing!
Now even a 60 something man that has the nerve to ask for money after knowing me for 3 weeks is ridiculous to me! I just cannot understand why these people would give their life savings and put themselves in a situation that could ruin them financially for the rest of their lives. Jesus, Think about your Family!!!
@@tiffanyblack6911 Don’t punch above your weight!! That is what I always say.
The sad part is, these scammers use psychology on people. They know which personalities to manipulate. I mean the tactics they use are so obvious to most people, but they pick vulnerable personalities for a reason.
Chase Bank, I love you! You tried to protect this woman from fraud. Unfortunately, she was gonna make sure she sent all her money to a scam artist.
Why did they not explain themselves?
Banks do not have to give a reason
I think they suck. she just went to another bank. "we're not telling you why we are closing the account." Why??? are they afraid of the scammer. Just say, "we believe there is fraud being committed on this account and that money laundering might be taking place and we want no part of it so we are closing this account and suggest you contact the police". Do you know how many people that could save?? but they all decide not to speak to her? are they 12? that is pure evil.
@@KelluyPowell-1985they don't want to tell people because the people frequently freak out, and they can be volatile, threatening, etc. When people are in the middle of a scam they often don't want to hear the truth, "I get to decide how to spend my money", "are you calling me stupid" and it can escalate from there. There's always reasons behind things like this.
@@AseraphsephirothZMaybe it’s an American thing but here in Uk 🇬🇧 the banks will tell you before action is taken they will investigate you first to determine if you’re part or aware of it…. They will then change your card details and passcode!! In this case “she was not being directly defrauded, she was just being used to collect money from their victims accounts as fraudsters can’t transfer the the victims money directly into an account in Africa!!
He's saying he's from "France or UK?" He needs to choose one-they are very different accents 😂
Confronting these scammers does nothing! Once they know they’ve been found out, they’ve already moved onto another victim
They have many going at the same time.
@@sandylee6025 Exactly which is why they call them Queen. In case they forget which one they are talking to.
Big red flag when they ask if you’ve eaten today.

That is absolutely one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard.

To be honest with you, I don’t know how anyone with a functioning intellect can fall for the scams. I mean, giving all her ID and banking details, It just baffles me.
It's sad but that is the kind of person these vile scammers prey on. Elderly lonely people with little common sense.
indeed
You took the words out my mouth.
I was surprised too until it happened to my boyfriend, who has multiple college degrees, so that doesn't play role,we started having problems, he started talking to multiple women I found out only about some but ya it's a scenarios,the same,he fell for it...I don't know why,he did send money,out accounts are separate banks but I saw his statements it's unbelievable,thankfully in 2023 we put it behind us and moved on, even though for me it was very hard,I was suicidal but I went through it and still trying to forget.
When she said "I'm not stupid" I burst out laughing. She gave her social security number and banking info to an online boyfriend, and believed that terrifying AI video showed at the beginning. The delusion is unreal...
As a Nigerian,God will truly punish that guy for doing this to this poor old lady
Yeah the same god just watched how all the scammers are laughing their asses of while scamming old desperate women looking for love. No thank you. Punish them by law, throw them in jail NOW.
Pisses me off that these guys give Nigerians a bad name, in the opinion of many Americans!!! So many good, honest souls in Nigeria, who are truly good people anyone would be fortunate to have in their lives.
But our American media depicts Nigerians as scammers… way to add to a horrible stereotype!!
Yet ANOTHER disservice (white) Americans do to the people of Africa… with an already horrible track record of how we treat African people…
But on her foto she isn't an old poor lady. What do you mean?
Are you the one who scammed her? And afterwards you make fun of her? Ehh?
God isn't real, just like the scammers
Scammers do not care what damage they have done to the victims. The only thing they care about is the money. no amount of tears or profanity would change the heart of a scammer.
So true..
True, it's just their job. No one should even try to change their 'heart' because they're not in it with their heart. Its just their 9-5 and they don't care. Maybe their boss will scold them for losing this gold mine, but they'll find another one. Nothing to worry about.
It’s not about that. It’s about confronting your abuser and getting closure
This fool willingly quit her job and gave away her trailer home. 😱 She is so desperate that she actually thought she was just going to immediately live with a man she's never met. 😱 She needs help.
Yes pray for her 🙏

I totally agree. Praying she stays strong.
Hi pretty can we be friends.. you look so beautiful ♥️🎉
Delusion is more like it
It’s not a dream…. It’s a self-generated hallucination.
I’ve had scammers constantly pestering me for ages. The best one was him saying that I looked beautiful in my profile picture which is actually a painting of my dad. They’re so pathetic. Part of me wants to scream at the person being scammed “open your eyes”! It’s so frustrating . Well done all of you for helping that poor lady
I had a scammer say “you must be from heaven because you look like an angel“ 😆😆
Your dad is beautiful.
@@mildredpierce4506typical! Happens to me too all the time. I am Dutch.... In our culture this is a really weird thing to say. So exit! 😂😂
I had the same. My profile pic was a cartoon drawing of a cat.
Same but I'm a guy and the Scammers have posed as attractive women to me
I guess, asking people if they have eaten is a scammers go too 🙄🤷🏽♀️
They always say they’re not stupid!
Drew’s face though..he’s over it!
So many of the participants in these scams say they are not stupid, or claim how intelligent they are. It's almost as if they need to reassure us as well as themselves that they have been just that. Becoming homeless over a stranger with a clear Nigerian accent doesn't demonstrate intelligence. I still feel sorry that she brought so much loss and trouble into her life.
@@junemarshall-kingsley566I just don’t understand how she worked all this out in her head? Has she never heard a British or French accent? She wasn’t clued in when she had two bank accounts closed? All because some scammer asked her if she ate today. Unbelievable. This was hard to watch. And she still considers herself smart.
Have you eaten is a big concern in most countries outside the USA?
In some countries/cultures, asking someone if they've eaten is a common form of greeting. It's like saying "Hey, how you doing?" in English. That said, I have no idea if this is the case in Nigeria, just that it exists in multiple other cultures around the world.
Another big red flag is they stated their wife died and he is a widow. It is never I am divorced.
I appreciate this ladies tearful, honest reaction to hear situation. The others seem to sit their calmly when they realizes they have lost everything. I hope her life gets better from here and she helps others with her story and finds a nice fella.
Thank you for saying that
I can’t believe that she a) liked his voice🤢 and b) that she fell for that poorly done fake video chat! The words were so obviously not being said by that guy!
Girl seriously it is wild but I feel for her though damn just sad
His voice is absolutely horrible
Love You Baby , have you eaten ?
Send me your bank details - I want to Marry YOU ... I'm not from Nigeria Red Flags ? 🙄🤔
🥰💖
LOL 😂 I was thinking that too he sounds like a muppet!
To me, his voice is cartoonish and grating. It was so weird seeing it come out of that AI photo. Total mismatch.
Sounds like two different men were on the phone. The second guy knew a little more English than Chris. They got transferred to the boss of the operation. Since Chris couldn’t seal the deal and secure the trust, dude #2 was up to bat.
Err. Absolutely *nobody* on the phone sounded in anyway English. They were clearly African accents.
@MrsSlocombesPuddyCat he said he knew more English not that he was English lmao.
Same person,the first English sounded awful because he was trying to fake an accent then his real English which is not any better
@@Michadoo Thanks I can effing read you know. Doesn't matter if one guy "knew a little more English than the other". They *BOTH* had African accents
You are what you attract. It doesn't mean you're cursed. You just make poor choices.
Exactly
You can still be cursed through black magic and spell work in some cases. In cases where you are cursed you do attract sad unhappy depressive situations. Until you take the measures to clear the curse, black magic or spell work, it will continue to affect you. In some cases it involves bad karma coming back to that person for their actions in this lifetime or last lifetime and karma needs to be cleared. It's complicated.
Based on looks and age- always the same
@@archumaiza1815 bullshit. You guys believe alot of stupidity
I am struggling to feel bad for her. The emotional manipulation she went through is nothing to take likely but the fact that she sent her social is absolutely crazy
Never give your social security out to anybody. I don't care how long you've known them.
You don't need to feel bad for everyone. She disregarded every single huge flag for her comfort
I can’t help starting by being annoyed with someone who believes such obvious, clumsy lies but then my heart melts when I see her pain. I also think she has unbelievable courage to expose herself on the Internet to help others. Good on you, sweetie! You’ve got a thousand times the guts of “Chris”, if that’s even his real name.
And the voice 😂😂😂
They expose themselves because they get paid to do so. The stories are deliberately outrageous to weed out the 95% of people who would roll their eyes at the ridiculous games or would quit when they start asking for money. It still hurts the person yes, it's an awful lesson, paying for fantasies is like paying for heroin. They get what they want but pay a shitload for it.
The more content I watch the less bad I feel tbh
His name is probably Chike
Don't feel sorry for this woman‼️
It's crazy to me how women like this always think they've got the one in a million rich and handsome younger man who wants an older woman.
If these women crave attention so much and want to financially help someone they should just get a sugar baby. At least it's legal and the person is real. 😓
This is very disheartening I am a Nigerian and I can tell you for free that for every fraudulent Nigerian there are tens of thousand honest and hardworking Nigeria. Vlad thanks for nailing it about the good side of Nigeria. I live and run a business in Nigeria. Nigeria is not a perfect country and we admit it but some people do not want to live within their means They want to live large without working STOP BLAMING THE GOVERNMENT
I actually met a nice & kind, hardworking Nigerian thru TikTok. You’re right though. There’s good and bad within every country, group, region, etc. Continue being a good person and a hardworking member of society and people that see that, they may be motivated to change if they’re into earning dishonest money.

The compassion from the crew is beautiful. This is a mind game . This channel is trying to help. God I love drew and vlad
The compassion was a bit overdone in as far as she was treated like a child taken advantage of, and no responsibility was attached to her. Also the creators wanted this to go viral
Noora, Lets be real, You are basically be romanced scammed yourself. And they do it by exposing these low IQ m0rons. Dwell in it for a minute.
"You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen".
Red flag right there. And she didn't register it for some reason...
To be fair, she was doing a bit of catfishing herself with her profile pic!
I love how passionate Vlad is in every video i see him in. It's so genuine on behalf of this woman and jt really warms my ❤. Good man !
SATURDAY EPISODE!!!!!!
Loved your show! 🎉 waiting
Bout fucking time. VLAD killed it. U need to do it more
Thank you!
You all are doing the Lord's work.
When i met my husband online everyone was sayinf it was a scam. You can meet real ppl online. But be realistic. We video chatted everyday for hours. He sent actual gifts. Not just promises of cash. I sent him gifts. We did visits. Ww talked everyday. He answered every single call. Its common sense. And even tho my husband is a 1000/10 to me, hes not a supermodel. Hes a real person. Just use some discernment ppl.
You are very lucky. Scamming can be a lot more complex than they show on these videos. I had a friend a long time ago, before the internet. She was young, bright, pretty, and in a position where it would not be implausible to meet somebody a little bit exotic. And she did. This was a long time ago. I knew the story well, but literally, until I saw these videos? I didn't realize that she had been scammed. It ruined her life. She never married. I'm glad things worked out for you, but don't take the attitude that somehow you just knew how to do it right. Actually, you just kind of got lucky and I'm very glad you did.
well said -that should be common sense for everyone
Preps what she trying to say that ppl meet on line.And then start video chatting etc.I have met a couple of guys with real profiles, jobs, etc. Nothing to do with a scammers. @@ConstantCompanion
The fact that your husband is 1000/10 means he has a very low self-esteem. Or, maybe, you just think so, and the one with low self-esteem is you! Nothing wrong with that, though...My friend got married the same way.
I had a coworker get real roses and gifts it's sometimes part of the scam. When he was on his way to the airport he got shot and couldn't make it 😂😂😂😂😂
"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen"
No one would believe that. No way she believed it.
I scrolled, I knew I couldn't be the only one to think it!!!😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha Vlad "I love your British accent."
That AI video was patently fake, but she wanted it to be real. I think that 15 year old mindset is still inside this middle aged woman . Glad you were all there to support her.
Yes, that's my opinion too. Arrested development. I'm not wild about her tattoos either.
I don't feel sorry for her. Maybe she needs to go to a mental institution but she likes this... She said she only dates guys 10 years younger and he was out of her league... So, she knew from the get. She always knew this wasn't real...
She's beyond middle age...and NEEDS TO stick with baking cookies for the grand kids and neighborhood kids
@@rt66vintage16 well then it’s a good thing you don’t have HER tattoos. 🙄
@@edy1544 I don’t think you know what “middle aged” means.
Most of these romance scam victims seem to be suffering from low self-esteem and self hatred of themselves, which is probably why they always fall for these scams. It's never about their intelligence, it's about their emotions, and the emotions are what these scammers are playing with. These romance scam victims need to learn to love themselves first before they go into a relationship. Take time for themselves, go to therapy, take better care of their health, and just learn how to better themselves
Exactly, these people cannot be in a relationship with anyone until they love themselves and set standards and boundaries for themselves first.
Very well said. Or it's older pervy shallow men going after (what they think are) Very young beautiful women.
It's true. People always insult the intelligence of these poor victims and talk about how they have no sympathy, but scamming is almost never about being smarter than the target, it's about knowing howto manipulate their emotions. Emotions are powerful, they overwhelm our common sense and make us believe obvious lies. Sometimes it's for a good thing - You can't love anyone or believe anyone loves you if you don't use your emotions. And trying to help out the less fortunate, especially someone you care about, is an emotional response that isn't bad. The problem is, these scammers use these normal, good things and turn them into weapons against innocent people. And in cases like this, they see someone who doesn't love themselves, who had past abuse and toxic relationships that taught them they were unlovable and that basic human decency is something they shouldn't expect from other people, and they exploit that to hurt people. It's horrible and heartbreaking, because they target people who already need help and make things worse for that poor person.
Lol these scammers aren’t even trying hard. These people are so insanely naive.
The social catfish men taking snotty tissues pieces off Leah’s face, is so kind and thoughtful. It warms my heart.

"Did you eat today?" . . . that comes from a country with 'Food Insecurity'.
Right!

Plenty of people in US with food insecurity too, and senior citizens don't need to be giving their last dime to scammers. So sad across the board.
@@barbarawarren9443 But I’m the US we don’t ask our paramours if they’ve had enough to eat. Hunger in Africa is a different beast than hunger in the US
As a widow, there is no "happy ever after". In every relationship, one person leaves first -- either by divorce or death.
So Intense!! "Have you eaten today?" HUGE red flag! My heart hurts for her but you all helped her realize he's a scammer. You ALL rock! Thank u for helping her💙
Seriously. No American man has ever asked me, "Have you eaten today?"😅
That’s how you great someone in china. 你吃了吗 literally means have you eaten.
@@anthonycraig274yeah I also ask if someone I care about has eaten (I’m South African) and I know many Koreans who do it too, so I wouldn’t say that’s a red flag for many cultures but maybe it is for Americans?
@@CgrettaKingMarlo All the things that happened, “have you eaten today” is nothing compared to the blaring 911 sirens with flashing red lights 🚨 that she received.
No, it is not a red flag. It is contextual! Most Asian cultures, and as some other cultures do genuinely ask if the person has eaten something. Hunger never helps anyone ("A hungry man is an angry man.")
These stories are unreal. Some women fall so easily and it’s very sad, I’m glad you guys helped her.
I'm sorry they need to throw her in jail for a few weeks. People like this have a hard time waking up. How much money did she help this guy Scam out of other people.
Yeah she kinda deserves jail cause she knew something was off yet she kept doing it. But jail won't fix her cause you can't fix stupid.....
Canadas CBS did a multi part documentary on these rings. They’re apparently outshoots of an organized crime organization based in Nigeria. They are one of the most dangerous crime syndicates and the money goes to organized crime, not just disorganized, disparate individual scammers. They are dangerous and anyone assisting them should be pursued to the full extend of the law. A woman in Canada committed suicide because her scammer had her convinced she would be arrested and put away for life unless she paid. She ran out of money and committed suicide.
Being naive isn’t a crime. Brainwashing is a crazier than people think. How do you think cults work? It’s next level psychological manipulation. There is this British guy (can’t remember his name right now but I can look for it if anyone is interested) who has a UA-cam channel where he demonstrates this. The craziest one is where he approaches a stranger, asks them for directions. Then he asks them to hold his water bottle. After that he asks to hold their phone and wallet. Almost every time they hand him their phone and wallet. He thanks them, walks away, and it takes them a moment to realize what just happened.
you think she kept some of it? @@someguyinthe540
That's harsh.
I don’t get why these people waste their time confronting these guys, they don’t care. He tried to make her feel sorry for him so she’ll continue with him. I’m not convinced she’s going to stop.
It’s for their own healing I would assume more than anything else - they already feel like a fool and this helps lessen it (even if it’s just a small amount).. it’s like telling a partner you know they cheated on you..
Some of them say they will block the scammer but end up contacting them again. They are trying to find something they can't get in the real world.
And actively participating in money laundering and aiding and abetting the pain of other victims. She did say she would do anything for that creep.
I’ve seen this happen! I think it was on Dr. Phil. After the guy confesses they get her to continue the relationship and sending money.
This is insane! I spend a lot of time tracking down crypto scammers based out of Nigeria. I've come across many US mules that I've usually just reported and moved on. I never thought these mules could've been going through this, I never would've considered these fuckers being romance scammers as well. Moving forward, I will be thoroughly investigating and contacting crypto scammers' mules to see if I could find another victim of a scam like this. Great job guys!
Thank you for fighting the good fight.
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
You never considered the mules were being scammed?
@@LDrosophila I never considered they were victims of romance scams. It’s fairly common for them to be previous victims of crypto investment scams
People don't hear accents, it amazes me. The moment someone texts me "Hello dear" on FP I block them. I am sorry this keeps happening to people.
“I only date men 10 years younger “ Made any sympathy I typically have fly out the window.
Some older women go for younger men because they believe the younger ones are "less threatening", less controlling and at the same time are more adventurous. Those women usually aren't bothered by having more transactional relationships to avoid drama, specially those who have a history of bad relationships in the past. It's not "wrong" per se but she doesn't seem mature or wise enough to actually have a strategy, she's just very much into bad choices :')
Yup, and don't forget the convicted criminal she admitted to dating. The decision making part of her brain is impaired 😵💫
@@mlorencetti1Looking for a man who is the same age or older is the best bet. I wouldn’t be with a significantly younger man if my life depended on it.

At 25:34 she says shes not a stupid person.. Why does many of the scammed women and men say that they are not stupid.. and say that this can happen to anybody. I dont think so, these scammed people are often not particulary selfaware, they cant read people, they have delusions and are quite gullible. They often wont listen to other people and often warnings like these programs and informations doesnt help, they will get scammed anyway.

Vlad had him goin’ ❤❤
They did another collaboration with Social Catfish earlier this year, if you haven’t seen it I recommend watching it. It’s a doozy.
Yes!!!
She wants it all. That says so much
I don’t think wanting someone you find attractive to love you is wanting it all. That was what she was asking for.
The fact that this scammer blames his country for his problems is a sick excuse to steal from people. And what he was doing to this woman and laughing about it is sick! But I guess that's just how the scammers mind works. Thanks Leah for sharing you're story even though some people will victim shame you for it! 🙄🙄
I know someone who gets involved with romance scams over and over again. I believe many of the "victims" know they're being scammed but they don't want to give up all the sweet talk and fantasy.
I often wonder this too. The attention becomes addictive
Going through life feeling cursed is just an invitation for devils to find you. Leah really needs to stop dating and work on herself as it's obvious her self esteem and desire to love make her accept whatever attention or nice words that gets thrown at her even if it's all a scam. That video chat was laughable! How did she believe that was real?! He looked like a cartoon character on there and sounded definitely from Nigeria. Smarten up ladies and do your self work before letting others in.
Brilliant comment. ❤
Agreed, you could hear the brokenness and low self-esteem seeping out through her voice. 😢
Well said!! My dad used to tell me these exact words - “water own garden & decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers”. Best advice ever! 😊
Love the way you work with Trilogy Media . Shows how genuine you are about helping people……..working together,instead of one company trying to be more popular than the other .
The guy making threats about his Russian ways always cracks me up😂😂😂😂
How do people fall in love with these scammers when the conversations they have are so empty and nonsensical?
Exactly! They talk about nothing but how much in love they are. Why are they in love? What is it about the other that is so appealing? Of course, they quickly move on to discussing money.
Some of them are under spells,these boys go all in for their victims,they wouldn't know what they are doing till it's too late,you shouldn't blame them. It's just so terrible to watch such videos and to see the level of hurt these guys cause their victims, the truth is,they don't care,and would move over to their next victim.
I am a Nigerian, and it's so annoying how they keep using the economy as an excuse for been lazy,greedy,but wants to live large. And keep destroying the image of this country, because they don't even care.

Leah, please go out and make some friends- church, or a community group, or your neighbors; it's hard as an adult, but meet some people and go out to karaoke or take day trips somewhere or have a movie night at home. Enjoy your life. Romance would be icing on the cake, but you can still enjoy the cake without the icing!

I don't believe its really that hard to meet new people. I believe that people do not want to leave their comfort zone or are looking for a nearly impossible romantic fantasy.

Out of my league - is a RED FLAG
She fell in love in a week, moved to Florida without ever seeing him in person, believed a horribly made fake video, sent this scammer every piece of identity she had and when she’s stating all the ways she was scammed it almost sounded like she was listing badges of honor. Zero sympathy for her. The desperation for love and attention made her lose her her mind and every bit of common sense she had! I hope she gets he help she so desperately needs!!
Plus laundering money
That fake video was comical only a mentally unwell person would fall for that.
She's desperate for a guy much younger and way out of her league. If she really wanted love I'm sure she could find a match in her own age (and fitness lol) group. But that wouldn't be good enough. If she was a man she'd be a "creep" and "disgusting" but no one's calling her that.

if one Nigerian can make it without scamming then they all can. There's also a difference between scamming one person once and scamming dozens of people 24/7
Not from Nigeria, but the people who do this are part of organized crime. Yahoo boys are very looked down upon, bc they make their livelihood doing things that are against the Bible/ Quran which are the prevailing religion and cultural dictate of Nigeria
Its really not that simple. Just because people physically could do something doesn't mean everyone will have the skill, access to education, or willingness to risk their lives working in some polluted environment.
I mean, that's like saying 'If one person in America can get a job then everyone can'. There are situations in every country that push people to steal and scam. I wish the world wasn't like that, I wish everyone had a fair go but they don't.
