I had the BEST time volunteering for my son's kindergarten class. They really did become like my son's family, and I was so proud that I ended up learning all their names. lol It's so sweet how excited they are to learn. How fantastic that you can teach these kids about the beauty of gardening. You never know what kind of seeds 😉you're planting that will effect them forever! 🪴
FYI I get e-mails like that Myself and I'm not even a business owner! OR you get people/businesses with incoherent/nonsense e-mail/website addresses! I ALMOST fell for a "scam" too, once! It was some Apple contest to win a new iPhone! I called Apple and they said they were holding no such contest! OH, SCAMMERS ARE/CAN BE VERY CONVINCING! SAY NO, FORGET ABOUT THEM! OR CONTACT THE COMPANY THAT THEY CLAIM TO BE FROM! BE VERY CAREFUL! BE SAFE!
I did not understand that part completely 16:55 but I think she tried to convince you that the companies pay her instead of you and she said she pays you before you post any video. Well... that would never happen. No money from her and she keeps all your money from the companies. End of story. - Or she would just give you much less than you actually got from the companies you partner with for quite some time and then disappear with the majority of your money. Something like that.
With your new baby coming next year and becoming a mom of two, PLEASE remember that if you ever need to miss a week (or two or whatever), we'll all still be here waiting for you when you're ready to make more videos. The algorithm has nothing on us! 🥰
I semi-work in the industry; I do management for a few small channels. Absolutely what everyone else said, it was a phising scam/check scam. But I wanted to share: in the future if you ever do go manager hunting again, (or just for any service), ask "who holds the W?" In other words, if you can't verify directly with a company if someone works for them (employers hold a W-4) or if you cannot verify a contractor status (W-9, usually this is if they're working for themselves and usually you draw this up), walk. Give them ZERO information. Even before you give any information, including account log ins, etc. make sure you have enough verified information on this person so that if things go sideways fast, you have the ability to contact the police asap/press charges. Also, manager never touches your money. They don't even get to see your digits, you pay THEM. Never let the money through them, money only flows through you or an accountant. Congrats on the pregnancy by the way! 🎉
Yep. I'm not in entertainment or management, but I'm looking for employment and a scammer was trying to trick me. High pay for data entry, I think would send me a check to purchase laptop or would send me a laptop, etc. Sent me a contract by email but I did NOT reply to it. I looked up the company they claimed to work for and the "website" looked very cheap, the fake one. I found the real company and called, they had received calls about scammers before.
What a relief that these partnerships reached out to you to express their fears and concerns. Really shows that they were looking out for you. I'm so sorry this happened but thankful that you had your business partners watching your back and you and Daryl did your due diligence to research this person. These scammers are getting more and more sophisticated and bold, and they will prey on anyone (pregnant, elderly, teens, kids, ANYONE). 😮💨 What might have happened is that she may have asked for your banking info to deposit your money and then she would have had full access to your bank account. Thankful you didn't fall victim to this!
Trust Us. You could take 6-weeks love. Cant live without you, but plenty of other videos and personal favorites we can ALL go to until you return. Also being the #1 ASMR Superstar on UA-cam and most likely on this planet...we arent going anywhere!! We LOVE you Maria!! You are EVERYTHING!! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"I let her on my previous account emails." 13:31 That's certainly one way she got information out of you for an identity theft situation. You might want to put extra security features on all your banking information and credit reports, and even consult with an attorney. Sorry this happened to you Maria!
The scam likely would’ve consisted of you receiving a check for a higher amount than what you agreed for a brand deal. You’ll probably inform “Grace” that you’ve been paid too much and she’ll tell you that it’s ok, just deposit the check and wire back the difference. You’ll then deposit the check and wire the difference but the check will actually be bad so won’t clear and you’ll have actually wired your own money. Companies don’t pay in full until you fulfil the obligations of your contract so you being told that you’d be paid seven days before the posting date is intended to create urgency.
A friend’s father in law had this “overpayment” scam done to him last year. He was literally sitting in a hospital waiting for chemo treatment when the scammer called 😡😡😡. Can you imagine taking advantage of a confused senior cancer patient? Anyways, he didn’t tell any of his kids what was happening for a few days because he was trying to be independent and handle it himself. They got $16k out of him before he finally told his kids 😢 These scammers are ruthless and they prey on the vulnerable.
My husband and I were recently scammed. It was the most elaborate, detailed, believable scam we’ve ever experienced. We didn’t even know scams like this existed. Everyone we’ve told has been absolutely awestruck at the level of detail and effort these people went through. I feel your pain, except I also lost money. It’s been rough. My heart goes out to you too ❤
Как же мне нравятся подобные видео от вас,понимаю что на русском такого не будет,но как бы было классно послушать какие то истории о вашей жизни,что то обсудить,прям люблю такое,Мила такая большая уже,очень милая ☺️
I'm a photographer and we get scammers like this all the time. There are 2 ways it could have happened, but they're very similar. Most likely, you would get a check and it would be for more than determined. The check would be completely fake, and she would either contact you and say she found out it was for too much, or wait for you to do so. She'd say it's ok and to still deposit the money, then wire the difference. The check wouldn't clear since it's fake (not good because you'd be flagged for fraud by your bank) and you'd have wired your own money. Alternatively, they would ask for some sort of account details as your manager whether that was a bank and they were straight forward or a brand account, or like you letting them into your past deals, and they would try to hack your Venmo/zelle/paypal/bank/etc. They also probably asked to see your past contracts because they wanted to steal the wording, and THAT is most likely why YOUR emails sounded so good from them. They stole those too or even just used chat GPT or similar AI So glad you didn't go through with it!!
And the reason they wanted to pay Maria before sending her the product is because there was never any product - the scam occurs when the money is exchanged. Grace Fisher would have likely just blocked Maria after doing the fake check scam. Maria I'm so glad you got out of that situation in time!
She was probably going to ask for your bank information so she could direct deposit the money ahead of time, but instead she would probably withdraw your money. Glad you called that company!
With a sort code and account number you can only put money in... This was possibly a money laundering attempt. She'd accidentally send too much and as Maria to return the money but it's actually being sent to a different account. Then Maria never gets the money back etc
I think everyone has been duped at some point, but at least you caught yourself! OMGosh Mila is the absolute cutest!!! She’s going to be the best big sister! 🩵🩷🩵🩷
Don’t overthink it. Scammers are evil and they scam anyone without caring if they are pregnant, elderly, in the military, etc. And just don’t respond. Thank god some of your sponsors were so helpful and responsible.
Scammers are getting better and better - I’m 37 and thought that I was pretty savvy and I literally fell for a scam yesterday! Fortunately no damage done I caught it quickly, but man, they are slippery 😡
@ a text scam - I had traveled out of state and the tolls were billed to me. I got a text saying pay your bill or get fined. In hindsite there were a lot of little red flags, but the website, the logo, the wording felt really legit.
Hey Masha! Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m a law school graduate and fell for a LinkedIn scam for a few thousand dollars. I felt so dumb. I’m so happy you caught on and that your business partners looked out for you. I really admire how financially savvy you are and how frugal you are. You are a good steward of your possessions and know how to stretch a dollar. I was wondering if you could make a series on this?
this video was just another reminder to me of how old mila is now... I still think of her as being a little toddler, it feels like just recently that she was born I can't believe how grown she is! she seems like such a bright little girl I'm sure you and Darryl are so proud!❤
hi maria! i loved your tidbit at the end about gardening class. just wanted to share that my mom was my girl scout troop leader when i was younger, and she ended up being my leader until i graduated from high school. we did so many cool activities together and they are some of my favorite memories! something to consider for mila!
Maria, I just want to say that I have always admired and envied how well you do your makeup! It's always so flattering and subtle for your skin tone, face shape, etc. and looks fresh and natural while enhancing your already stunning features. I've watched other makeup artists on YT do crazy elaborate work, but it is not something I think I will ever have a talent for. However, watching your grwm routines, it feels so attainable for the average person just looking for a simple, everyday look.
I would LOVE an asmr video where Maria is the school teacher and we're the students!!! Some of my most memorable asmr moments from my childhood took place in school, around 2nd grade when the teacher would come to my desk to help me with something, and whisper to me softly to not disturb the rest of class. It was magical ✨️💫
Hi Maria! This is so interesting. Thank you for sharing I work at a bank. You glossed over a part about “payoffs” going through her. With certain information, she could have drained your accounts. Would need to know more but I’m so glad to hear someone gave you good advice Congrats on new baby coming! So happy and excited for you guys
Amazing, glad you did not fall for it. Scammers are more sophisticated today and they persevere and count on others not looking into things or sort of quitting and giving in to them.
Honestly super grateful those companies had your back. Obviously they were protecting themselves too but I'm glad they reached out to offer their advice.
I'm so glad you got out of that situation! They may have been trying to steal your personal information like address and banking information to create accounts using that data. Even if they did send you a small amount beforehand to get banking info, just having that could allow them to do so much damage to your credit and bank accounts
She probably had a plan for the next phase of scamming.. she roped you in by not asking for anything, but offering you something that “baited” you… then after working together, she would’ve constructed a story, once she had your trust, that would’ve required you to give some information or something that would give her access to your money. So glad you avoided that trouble!!! We all love you Maria ❤❤❤
Enjoyed the upload :) glad you didn’t get scammed!! Maybe she was playing the long game. Like maybe she was gonna get you some higher rates with your existing contracts, and get in your good faith. Then after that success, there would’ve been some hook, some contract or something or access to your information that you would’ve been more likely to give. 🤷 It’s enlightening to hear people’s experiences like this so thank you!
thank you for sharing your story! i work in fraud prevention kicking scammers like this off of my company's platform all day long. i'm so glad to hear you're safe!
You have such a genuine, nurturing spirit. I think you'd be a phenomenal teacher! My home wasn't abusive or anything, there wasn't much warmth, though. But I was really lucky to have some really lovely, kind educators, and I can't overstate how they made a difference to me.
I think the kids would love an asmr class. You bring things that make asmr sounds, crinkles and tapping etc , maybe some recorded sounds .I think that would be amazing for them to learn things to help them relax and calm down, a skill that took me many years to figure out. All the best to you and your family Masha ✌❤
I love the little snippets you give us in your videos of your life being a mother. It reminds me of the relationship I had with my mother when I was young.
Awwww!!!! Mila coming in was the BEST PART EVERRR!!! 😭❤❤ She's so polite, so vivacious, so charming and sooo outgoing! She's a light! Just those few seconds were enough to see how much she has grown and how she has turned into a beautiful little girl! ❤ Proud of you, Maria and Darryl for raising her so beautifully! She's going to be the BEST older sister to her little brother!! Lots of LOVE and HUGS from India! XOXO ❤❤
You and Mila are so beautiful! Love your videos. It makes me sad that someone would do the scammer stuff to you. I'm so thankful you did not get scammed! Thank you for all that you do Masha. мы тебя любим! ❤
Seems like she would've asked for your bank account info to "pre-pay" you. Happy you didn't fall into it! It'll probably be best to verify employment at agencies before entertaining any emails ❤
Im so sorry that happened to you. Such a relief that those companies spoke up about their concerns. I hope you know we will always be here even if you need a break, we will understand.
Omg Mila looks so big and beautiful 😭😍😍😍😍😍 I still remember when you announced being pregnant with her and now theres another angel on the way and omg 😍😍😍😍
Dear Maria, we are still here when you take time off for your family! You have more than enough great video's out there. Take care of you love, you deserve it.❤
Hi my lovely Maria!! Happy Wednesday to you :) It breaks my heart that someone would try and take advantage of you like that. I genuinely hope that you don’t beat yourself up over it- she is a horrible person, whose whole plan was to gain your trust…total loser. You are such a loving, wonderful soul and you deserve a team who values that and treasures you. I hope if you pursue a mgmt company in the future it’s everything you dream of- but I also hope you do what’s best for YOU! Proud of you for pushing through, and wishing you a wonderful rest of your week ❤
Ah! Thank you again for sharing, I enjoy learning from you. And thank you for allowing us to see you with your daughter- it was so sweet. Happy to see you both grow ♥️
Your happiness has truly reached us and filled us with joy-it’s contagious, even your calmness brings such peace. Can’t wait to see you and your son soon!
Silent follower (since before Mila!) and I just have to say…wow! I’m so sorry that happened to you, people will try anything these days! Mila has gotten so big, she’s such a good mix of you and Darryl! She has such a beautiful smile that matches yours! ❤️ These chatty videos have been so nice recently, it feels like FaceTiming a friend! Thank you for all you’ve done on both channels all these years! Congrats on baby number 2! ❤️
Mila is so cute, it's been amazin seeing her for a bit! Please Maria rest and don't worry about the videos too much, we'll gladly rewatch the old ones (which are awsome as always). We want you happy and relaxed
I’m watching this during my lunch break and I’m so glad that you have people looking out for you Maria! And that you and Darryl did your research and stayed skeptical. When Mila popped on the screen I went AWWW 🥺
Nice of the brands you worked for to have warned you, if the brands keeping youtubers alive are decent people like that, there may be hope for this platform ^^ And those scammers, they're the worst byproduct of the hustle culture there is. No empathy whatsoever, they don't care who or how much they hurt as long as they get the money. Glad you dodged the bullet ;)
I love this kind of video of tellingstory so much. Because I can't still do my things around home, peaceful. Your voice and energy is so amazing and positive. With your little laugh . Thank you so much 💓 🇨🇦
God bless you and your lovely family can’t believe how big your Mila has gotten I’m so sorry to hear about this awful scam you do have to be vigilant but don’t let that deter you from other opportunities
My face has one side lower and higher and now I feel so much better about myself because how beautiful I think you are and I would’ve never even noticed. So funny how we notice things like that about ourselves that others would never see. You are very beautiful ❤
I’ve been watching you since the end of 2012… since then I’ve had two children.. most recent being this year, my little one is almost 5 months old. Take care of yourself and your family. We’ll wait for you. You’ve already blessed us with so much content that we will watch those til you’re ready to post ! And tbh, sometimes when a UA-camr takes a break for a few weeks.. a month.. months.. and then posts, I’ve always been like YAYYYY OMG. 😆 stay healthy and happy Maria
I might be totally wrong with this theory, but have you considered that the scammer was not after some monetary gain but was just some kind of stalkery fan who just got off on luring you into some kind of relationship? Either way, it's so sad and weird for somebody to scam a pregnant woman, especially somebody as kind and loving as you! I'm sorry this happened to you and it's especially sad that your trust was, once more, abused by someone instead of you having a rewarding experience for opening up 😔
So cute seeing Mila pop in. I followed your journey while pregnant with her/ as a new mum too. Please post more about your current pregnancy and family life I love the updates ❤️ Ps. My hubby and I have watched your asmr channel for about 9 years now. Love from New Zealand
We'll always be here for you, Maria!! No matter what, I'll always search for your videos and follow everything you do. You were my first ASMR video experience back in 2015 and I can't tell you how much you've come to mean to me over the years. I hope you'll out together a babyshower list that we can contribute to!!
I've never commented before, I hope my English is ok. I just want to say that I love your videos on both channels. I have a daughter the same age as yours and I would love to see some of the board and card games you play with her because we like doing that in our family too. Thank you for being you and doing your wonderful work.
Oh my gosh Maria!! I love rom&nd’s eye shadow!! ☺️ They have so many sparkly and unique pallet colors. It makes such gorgeous eye looks. That genuinely really makes my day that you use it as well ✨I’ll have to check out the smaller ones! Thank you for recommending it! 😊❤️ Much love, hope you’re having a wonderful day.

I’m so sorry that happened to you! I do have to say I’ve been really enjoying the chatty videos lately. Feels like catching up with a friend :)
Aww.. I enjoy the chatty videos too! 🤗

What might have happened is that she may have asked for your banking info to deposit your money and then she would have had full access to your bank account. Thankful you didn't fall victim to this!
Seeing Mila was such a treat in this video, especially when she noticed the camera and her face just lit up! She's so big now but still so cute ❤
Yes! She’s adorable, a true ray of sunlight.
I guarantee you nobody notices you have an “uneven face” Maria. You are perfect ❣️

You might want to put extra security features on all your banking information and credit reports, and even consult with an attorney. Sorry this happened to you Maria!
Agreed. Probably should freeze your credit reports too. It's easy, you do it online with each credit agency. Just click the freeze button.
The scam likely would’ve consisted of you receiving a check for a higher amount than what you agreed for a brand deal. You’ll probably inform “Grace” that you’ve been paid too much and she’ll tell you that it’s ok, just deposit the check and wire back the difference.

Companies don’t pay in full until you fulfil the obligations of your contract so you being told that you’d be paid seven days before the posting date is intended to create urgency.
Yeah, I had similar thoughts about how the scam would show up after you "get paid" and lose your own money. The overpayment is a common tactic.
A friend’s father in law had this “overpayment” scam done to him last year. He was literally sitting in a hospital waiting for chemo treatment when the scammer called 😡😡😡. Can you imagine taking advantage of a confused senior cancer patient? Anyways, he didn’t tell any of his kids what was happening for a few days because he was trying to be independent and handle it himself.

I could listen to a million story times by you! (sorry about almost getting scammed, though!) ❤
The brands reaching out to you personally show how much you are loved and cared for, so happy you were able to not get scammed!
My husband and I were recently scammed. It was the most elaborate, detailed, believable scam we’ve ever experienced. We didn’t even know scams like this existed.

Some of my most memorable asmr moments from my childhood took place in school, around 2nd grade when the teacher would come to my desk to help me with something, and whisper to me softly to not disturb the rest of class. It was magical ✨️💫
This is such a good suggestion I can’t wait for all the likes as it was only 3 hours ago, I’m sure this will be liked!! xx
She does have one where she teaches Russian. It’s one of her older ones and it’s really lovely!
I hope we get to see some advent calendar unboxings again this year 🫶🏻
Hi Maria! This is so interesting. Thank you for sharing
I work at a bank. You glossed over a part about “payoffs” going through her. With certain information, she could have drained your accounts. Would need to know more but I’m so glad to hear someone gave you good advice
Congrats on new baby coming! So happy and excited for you guys
Amazing, glad you did not fall for it.
Scammers are more sophisticated today and they persevere and count on others not looking into things or sort of quitting and giving in to them.
Honestly super grateful those companies had your back. Obviously they were protecting themselves too but I'm glad they reached out to offer their advice.
I'm so glad you got out of that situation! They may have been trying to steal your personal information like address and banking information to create accounts using that data. Even if they did send you a small amount beforehand to get banking info, just having that could allow them to do so much damage to your credit and bank accounts
She probably had a plan for the next phase of scamming.. she roped you in by not asking for anything, but offering you something that “baited” you… then after working together, she would’ve constructed a story, once she had your trust, that would’ve required you to give some information or something that would give her access to your money. So glad you avoided that trouble!!! We all love you Maria ❤❤❤
Yup, sounds like a long con. Scams are getting more elaborate. Stay vigilant everyone!
Imagine if people put this much time and effort into getting and keeping a real job.
Glad you did not get scammed! Can't be too careful nowadays!
Every Sassy Masha upload is such a fun surprise 🥰
You're a blessing Maria and your daughter is adorable. 🌸
Enjoyed the upload :) glad you didn’t get scammed!! Maybe she was playing the long game. Like maybe she was gonna get you some higher rates with your existing contracts, and get in your good faith. Then after that success, there would’ve been some hook, some contract or something or access to your information that you would’ve been more likely to give. 🤷 It’s enlightening to hear people’s experiences like this so thank you!
thank you for sharing your story! i work in fraud prevention kicking scammers like this off of my company's platform all day long. i'm so glad to hear you're safe!
You have such a genuine, nurturing spirit. I think you'd be a phenomenal teacher! My home wasn't abusive or anything, there wasn't much warmth, though. But I was really lucky to have some really lovely, kind educators, and I can't overstate how they made a difference to me.
I think the kids would love an asmr class. You bring things that make asmr sounds, crinkles and tapping etc , maybe some recorded sounds .I think that would be amazing for them to learn things to help them relax and calm down, a skill that took me many years to figure out. All the best to you and your family Masha ✌❤
I love Sassy Masha videos!! They help me relax as much as Gentle Whispering. Thank you!
I love the little snippets you give us in your videos of your life being a mother. It reminds me of the relationship I had with my mother when I was young.
Mila noticing the camera was SOOOOO cute, Maria, omg 😭
Your daughter is so beautiful and sweet! She has so much joy in her ❤️ And no wonder, she has a great mama!!!
As a teacher myself, and a mum, I adored your gardening story 🥰
Awwww!!!! Mila coming in was the BEST PART EVERRR!!! 😭❤❤ She's so polite, so vivacious, so charming and sooo outgoing! She's a light! Just those few seconds were enough to see how much she has grown and how she has turned into a beautiful little girl! ❤ Proud of you, Maria and Darryl for raising her so beautifully! She's going to be the BEST older sister to her little brother!! Lots of LOVE and HUGS from India! XOXO ❤❤
Mila has grown so much omg!! That's my online niece right there!! 😁
Love these simple ramble talking videos. So comforting
OMG I can't believe how big Mila has gotten! She's so grown! Also, you would make an AMAZING teacher! I think you should go for it.
You and Mila are so beautiful! Love your videos. It makes me sad that someone would do the scammer stuff to you. I'm so thankful you did not get scammed! Thank you for all that you do Masha. мы тебя любим! ❤
I bought two rom&nd pallets because of you! I’m deeper complexion and they have something for everyone
Mila when she notices the camera 🤣 you will be the best garden mom! You have been “teaching” all of us for years!!! You’re a natural teacher.
Seems like she would've asked for your bank account info to "pre-pay" you. Happy you didn't fall into it!
It'll probably be best to verify employment at agencies before entertaining any emails ❤
Im so sorry that happened to you. Such a relief that those companies spoke up about their concerns. I hope you know we will always be here even if you need a break, we will understand.
Спасибо 🙏, Мария ! Обожаю Ваши видео ❤
She has gotten so big! I love you are a garden parent, PERFECT job for you ❤️ I am glad you has some angels to give you the heads up on the scammer.
So beautiful Maria ❤even your normal speaking voice makes me feel so calm. Love and light to you, Mila, Daryl and baby bump x
Omg Mila looks so big and beautiful 😭😍😍😍😍😍 I still remember when you announced being pregnant with her and now theres another angel on the way and omg 😍😍😍😍
Remember..we love you... always put yourself and your family first. We will be fine.
Dear Maria, we are still here when you take time off for your family! You have more than enough great video's out there. Take care of you love, you deserve it.❤
You are absolutely glowing. Without your makeup on even you just look radiant. Pregnancy looks good on you, girl
Mila is too precious! She looks just like you!
Glad you were not fully scammed! And I just love that you are a garden mom for Mila's class! That is so fun!!
Hi my lovely Maria!! Happy Wednesday to you :)
It breaks my heart that someone would try and take advantage of you like that. I genuinely hope that you don’t beat yourself up over it- she is a horrible person, whose whole plan was to gain your trust…total loser. You are such a loving, wonderful soul and you deserve a team who values that and treasures you. I hope if you pursue a mgmt company in the future it’s everything you dream of- but I also hope you do what’s best for YOU! Proud of you for pushing through, and wishing you a wonderful rest of your week ❤
Really enjoyed this video. Love your natural chats. Would like to see a video on how you keep your nails so beautiful. 😊
This was a wonderful video to watch *apart from the scammed bit! You're adorable and such a kind soul. I love your positive energy.
Ah! Thank you again for sharing, I enjoy learning from you. And thank you for allowing us to see you with your daughter- it was so sweet. Happy to see you both grow ♥️
Unbelievable how much mila has grown, time just flys.
Your happiness has truly reached us and filled us with joy-it’s contagious, even your calmness brings such peace. Can’t wait to see you and your son soon!
I love these videos because your natural voice is actually so tingly. 😊
Silent follower (since before Mila!) and I just have to say…wow! I’m so sorry that happened to you, people will try anything these days!
Mila has gotten so big, she’s such a good mix of you and Darryl! She has such a beautiful smile that matches yours! ❤️
These chatty videos have been so nice recently, it feels like FaceTiming a friend! Thank you for all you’ve done on both channels all these years! Congrats on baby number 2! ❤️
I feel like I can see Daryl also when I look at Milas face. Perfect mix of you two!
Mila is so cute, it's been amazin seeing her for a bit! Please Maria rest and don't worry about the videos too much, we'll gladly rewatch the old ones (which are awsome as always). We want you happy and relaxed
Awwwwww....Bless you, baby girl, Daddy, and baby-on-the-way ❤❤❤❤
You dodged a bullet, sweet Maria. So glad you moved on and didn't get scammed, you don't deserve it. Stay strong for your new baby, Mama.
So exited to see you like Eveline mascara! It's a Polish company, cruelty free, and some products are actually vegan. Also, Mila is amazing! 😍
Don’t beat yourself up Maria, scams are much more complex these days. I was careful and still got caught but I’m so glad you didn’t.
I’m watching this during my lunch break and I’m so glad that you have people looking out for you Maria! And that you and Darryl did your research and stayed skeptical.
When Mila popped on the screen I went AWWW 🥺
Nice of the brands you worked for to have warned you, if the brands keeping youtubers alive are decent people like that, there may be hope for this platform ^^
And those scammers, they're the worst byproduct of the hustle culture there is. No empathy whatsoever, they don't care who or how much they hurt as long as they get the money.
Glad you dodged the bullet ;)
I love this kind of video of tellingstory so much. Because I can't still do my things around home, peaceful. Your voice and energy is so amazing and positive. With your little laugh . Thank you so much 💓 🇨🇦
God bless you and your lovely family can’t believe how big your Mila has gotten I’m so sorry to hear about this awful scam you do have to be vigilant but don’t let that deter you from other opportunities
Congratulations on the second baby Maria! Mila will be such a great big sister❤
Ive never been so relaxed listening to someone getting scammed lol
I love you sooo much for sharing such a vulnerable moment 💕 we just want to see the best in people 🦋✨ Thanks for sharing 🫶🏼
My face has one side lower and higher and now I feel so much better about myself because how beautiful I think you are and I would’ve never even noticed. So funny how we notice things like that about ourselves that others would never see. You are very beautiful ❤
I can’t get over how big Mila is! She’s a whole little person! She looks like your little clone! Ugh, I’m so genuinely happy for you and your family!
Your partners are wonderful to have warned you about that scam! It can happen to anyone of us, so I hope you're not beating yourself up about it ❤
I’m just honestly so happy that you decided to share yourself with us 😭😭❤️❤️ You are truly one of a kind! And Mila is gorgeousssssssss!!!!
I love your make up/ grwm videos! Please more of these if you can 🤞💕
I’ve been watching you since the end of 2012… since then I’ve had two children.. most recent being this year, my little one is almost 5 months old. Take care of yourself and your family. We’ll wait for you. You’ve already blessed us with so much content that we will watch those til you’re ready to post ! And tbh, sometimes when a UA-camr takes a break for a few weeks.. a month.. months.. and then posts, I’ve always been like YAYYYY OMG. 😆 stay healthy and happy Maria
I’m always amazed at how good your skin is!!
I see so much of you and your mom in Mika! So beautiful! Excited to see what your little prince will look like!!
Wow well never disagree from my recommended , proud to say it’s full of you!!!! ❤️ love you!!!
I might be totally wrong with this theory, but have you considered that the scammer was not after some monetary gain but was just some kind of stalkery fan who just got off on luring you into some kind of relationship? Either way, it's so sad and weird for somebody to scam a pregnant woman, especially somebody as kind and loving as you! I'm sorry this happened to you and it's especially sad that your trust was, once more, abused by someone instead of you having a rewarding experience for opening up 😔
You would be the best elementary teacher ever!
Algorithm Schmalgorithm, you couldnt be erased if you tried 😂
So cute seeing Mila pop in. I followed your journey while pregnant with her/ as a new mum too. Please post more about your current pregnancy and family life I love the updates ❤️
Ps. My hubby and I have watched your asmr channel for about 9 years now. Love from New Zealand
We'll always be here for you, Maria!! No matter what, I'll always search for your videos and follow everything you do. You were my first ASMR video experience back in 2015 and I can't tell you how much you've come to mean to me over the years. I hope you'll out together a babyshower list that we can contribute to!!
I've never commented before, I hope my English is ok. I just want to say that I love your videos on both channels. I have a daughter the same age as yours and I would love to see some of the board and card games you play with her because we like doing that in our family too. Thank you for being you and doing your wonderful work.
Oh my gosh Maria!! I love rom&nd’s eye shadow!! ☺️ They have so many sparkly and unique pallet colors. It makes such gorgeous eye looks. That genuinely really makes my day that you use it as well ✨I’ll have to check out the smaller ones! Thank you for recommending it! 😊❤️ Much love, hope you’re having a wonderful day.
The teacher idea is definitely worth exploring, the ASMR those students would get would be core memories!!
