@@TheMangoMussolini she is the type that nobody can tell her a thing but now she is living with her daughter and continues to look for Mr. Goodbar to support her knarly arse.
@@olgayarovaya3920 Yes, it's called restraining a person for their protection. Perhaps you're lacking in the basics of looking out for friends and family? My guess is if you had a 14 year old son who had just taken the shotgun off the rack and loaded it and was heading out the door to "settle" something with one of his friends, that you'd just say, fine dear, have fun.
I'm a Nigerian and I'm really ashamed of our image on the global space. I'm so sorry this innocent woman is going through this problem. The hotel manager should be arrested, I'm pretty sure she's a culprit. She initially said the cctv recording is kept for a year, how come it was deleted after 4 months?
I agree that somehow the hotel was involved and should be investigated. The police should check into who paid for the room in Ethiopia and Hong Kong. There are very ordinary Internet Technicians who can investigate payments and internet messages.
I've had the pleasure of visiting Nigeria (Lagos, Abuja, and a quick cross border trip to Porto Novo). There are people in the world who only know how to imagine the worst about a place and its people based on the actions of a few. You do not need to feel shame for your image, because for the haters, there's nothing that can be done to change that view. The others, those that can see past the darkness that exists every country on earth, know what gracious and kind people there are in Nigeria, which is quite remarkable given the huge ethnic groupings there. My friend, who made the initial invitation to visit Nigeria, would not stop teaching me customs, language (which one of 200+ dialects!), food, and especially the warning signs of a scam heading my way. I've gone the long way around to say it, but I agree with you. The hotel manager was, in my view, certainly in on it. While I don't think he had anything to do with the actual crime, I have no doubt that he lined her pockets well to erase or otherwise dispose of the CCTV footage.
I am sorry that some of your fellow Nigerians (likely a very small percentage of the population) engage in such dishonest and cruel behavior, all for money. There are scammers everywhere, but some of your countrymen were the first to get that image as they showed up early in the online scam game. This is just a very sad story, and I agree that something is going on with that hotel manager. Peace to you.
That’s because they refuse to accept the fact that they sexted with an 18 year old hoodlum, black as night. I became friends with the guy who tried to scam me and this is his description. We face timed.
She IS the wise voice of reason, actually. She saw everything immediately and was clear with her warnings. Shame to have such a savvy friend who just wasn’t listened to.
We are talking about my sister. The biggest cheapskate I've ever known - not only gave every penny - took out a loan! This is a woman who will not even put a dollar in the collection basket on Sunday. She did this TWICE! She did this three years ago - We thought she stopped - She did it again!
Sometimes it be like‼️especially if she is lonely and depressed‼️looking for love in the wrong‼️just like when we were younger we didn't listen to our family when they told us to leave people alone ‼️we didn't see what they saw in the people‼️💯💯
I've seen this happen to women I know. They fall for this same scam and won't listen to anyone-not friends or family. I know you're one, but the truth is most of your kid are extremely insecure unwise to the World and men know this and prey upon it.
I just saw a thread on another channel where somebody said their 64 yr. old mother was on all the different dating sites trying to find a husband -- she met some guy online but only met him once in person and and one month is moving away giving up her life and everyone she knows to go move several states away to be with that man who she only met in person once .
The bravery you showed is nothing short of extraordinary. With their lives on the line, you fearlessly took on the challenge of retrieving their stolen assets from the fraudsters. Your actions command deep respect, *Stalwart-Redeem* If law enforcement operated with even a fraction of your commitment and creativity (and integrity), the USA would be a far safer place. Incredible work!
He is truly exceptional, and his tools are so impressive that I occasionally wonder if he’s even human, haha. The bottom line is that *Stalwart-redeem* is the ultimate expert in recvering from scaams.
This is actually what happened to me some weeks ago after falling for a binary option scam but I was able to report to the right person *Stalwart-redeem*
Sounds like that hotel was in on the drug running and scammers. Too convenient that they deleted it. With full knowledge about it. Manager needs to be investigated.
Yes probably not the first “ guest” that’s been there . Now they got to be careful cause they almost got caught . Probably some families never heard from their loved ones again
Oh right! When a White male goes there and demand video tape it must provide or it's assumed to be guilty... Now imagine a Black Ethiopian Priest goes to Park Hyatt in Toronto and demand their CCTV footage?? He'd be kicked out or lockee up in jail... I cant stand that White ppl's will be done bs... this is 2023 not 1823 no more.
Probably the police too.they had the responsibility to ask fir the footage.thats why the manager denied .she actually did her job well as instructed by her boss.she knew the police won't take the footage thsts why she s all confident in denying.that makes everything even more sad knowing how they watched her talked to her knowing they ll turn her into a mule and nobody felt pitty to give her a hint knowing well what might happen to her
I couldn't have said better! Animals don't fake love and don't care about your money, your age, your size etc. She could have saved lots of animals with all this money! It's a pity she didn't listen to her best friend. It can happened one time ... but two ?!! And about the hotel manager he or she's surely involved in something! Why not showing or donating the CCTV the first time? It was a red flag! What about the authorities, cops etc? Are they all so corrupt and I mean in both countries!!! Only a 76 years man is doing their jobs one million times better ! Her poor daughter who traveled the world just to see her mom 15 minutes must have been her worst nightmare! I don't buy the covid excuse! The prison manager was surely aware that a TV Channel was covering the case and it was a problem!!! Finally don't trust ANYONE neither friends and family in many case too.
I totally agree with you their love is forever bad or good situation they love you as long as you love them back with warmth food and lots of love , those men are heartless , surly her family told her or thought it was somthing wrong . Hope she gets out anyway if so get a puppy 🐶 or kitty
Not quite about love, it’s also about sex. Some people can’t do without it. See her see-through tops. No hate towards her for being a sexual being; it’s just life; some still need sex till the end.
@@miloslavski6149 that is simply not true they are obligated to show anything that is related to Crime that could have possibly been on those tapes unless it is that corrupt ... I guess they are a corrupt country ? I had always heard that Ethiopia is actually a pretty cool place but then again I guess any place can have corruption
I’m from Hong Kong, trust me hk government doesn’t spare anyone with drug trafficking, it’s so sad to see the daughter in this situation cause I understand her pain. I hope someday a miracle happens and they can be together once again.
The fact that she compared herself to Job is proof she refuses to understand what she did wrong and will likely fall for a variety of different scams now that she's out of jail. 😳
I can imagine how she would feel when being incarcerated in a foreign country. However, she was deceived once and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Her stupidity dominated her action again. What is wrong with her? Now that she was released from prison and returned to Ontario, she should wake up, not try to live in a brain of an infant.
@@eerthangelyeah I'm going to have to look that up also I hope she was released and I hope she finally wised up and if not to hell with her stupid ass😂
My mother in law has been supporting Nigerian scammers for years! We’ve repeatedly shown her all of the proof that the pictures of men were not who she was talking to. We even contacted the real person whose photo they were using, and even after she talked to them she continued to communicate, and send money to scammers! At one point four Nigerian young men came forth, and apologized to her, showed her their real faces, but told her they found Jesus, and admitted to scamming her!! Even this didn’t stop the madness!
I’ve heard that if the victim is religious, the scammers sometimes pretend to “come clean” and thank Jesus and profess their real love, just so they can extract even more money.
Dont feel sorry for the daughter. She is also at fault for knowing what was happening and not alerting the police to look into it until it was too late. Why did she not tell the police immediately when her mom got a ticket to Ethiopia that she needed an intervention?
I watched subsequent videos made by the television station regarding her case. She has returned safely home and is living with her daughter now. What struck me as odd, personally, was when she was meeting with the Priest, the Attorney advocate who works with him, Her personal Attorney, and the Journalist who covered her story,to say goodbye (to the Team who won her freedom) Never Once did she simply say Thank You to any of them! She did not say thank you to her daughter as she picked her up upon her arrival, who also helped her and who she now lives with either! (as she sent all of her money and money she borrowed to the scammer) She said she is disappointed by other family members who are having a hard time forgiving her. She said SHE is the ONLY Victim in all of this - she thinks her family did not suffer, only she did. She is also already dating - maybe her family would forgive her if she spent her time reconnecting with them all and getting a job to repay them and also help out her daughter too! She seems to wish to remain a perpetual child that everyone else has to take care of. She seems to expect from others without showing any gratitude. (from what was shown in the videos anyway.)
Only when you are caught up in rat bags like this scammers, even not fully. Because some of us are ten Miles ahead of them. Having good families around is good, Being Lonely “ whether a widow, divorcee or a single woman can be frustrating, Worst very mature, this is why online dating surface, but now the young ones are using it more. And the old men do not want to date their age, Lonely and dating you have to be careful on line, In two weeks ! Wait for it “ Oh I Have to the Far East to business, tell them to go and never return “ Block them.One “ yes Handsome, 3 weeks going to Dubai consultant engineering, He is an engineer working for a big company. How the hell in 2 weeks later , your job to finish he asking for £4,500. I was waiting for it. Straight I told him go and asked your Boss! You Are a CON MAN “ he denied it, but I blocked him again. To get my address he said he's got £3000 from s job but was leaving could I collect it, I was curious, but said okay. The day it supposed to arrived I text to say nothing came, And his reply was weak. I did say I knew nothing was coming, he's a fraud. Maybe he thought i Was a soft touch. This lady don't be hard on her not all of us pickup quickly, May she learn From her bad judgement And not online one 🎉
Her daughter is accepting of her behavior and she believes that because her dad, her mother's husband who passed away, always took care of the mom that now her family should as well. This is a perfect example of why families need to teach their daughters to depend on themselves instead of depending on others. This mom is obviously looking for another man to take care of her, that is why she is putting herself back on the market. As far as some of the rest of the aren't rallying around her is that she lost over $205,000.00 in a scam. This is money her husband left her an she squandered it on a man/scam. The other family members have no more money to waste on a person who is not responsible with money. By the way I also noticed she did not say thank you to all those that helped her, to late now. I hope her daughter understands that these comments are not against her but she needs to step back and expect that her mom takes some responsibility and I am sure she has a monthly income from her husbands pension and life insurance and should step up and pay something the roof over her head.
I just can't imagine a woman who was married to a police officer for many years could be this gullible when people actually told her exactly what was going to happen. Now she's playing the poor grandma card. It's hard to have sympathy for such stupidity!
Well, Ms. Kathy 411 you can not say that like that. You have to put yourself into her situation to understand the full picture. Yes, on the first sight somebody might think that what you do. This person or gang what I assume made all of this very smart. This person or they have choosen a persons profile of somebody she would relate to.. a) most likely to trust..and as I recall it from my mind the first contact online was a military doctor working for the united nations.. That's a really high ranking person of trust. That's why she trusted this person. Beeing together before with a police officer. The contact happend to be in 2021 according to the cronical dates of this video after 2016 her husband passed away. 2020/2021 Pandemic the so called pandemic made in China. The time of the Lockdowns and quarantines and big anxiety. And loneliness on a high scale around the Globe 🌎 And after she sended him all the money..lots of money..she lost even her home 😳😓🤦♀️ and had to move back to her daughter's home.. ..actually this story should be over here..Normally.. But then another Person or the same person (we don't know) the person got her attention..her friend suspects it's the same person..(that's an intersting idea) is getting her attention online while she is writing her book about the scam.. ..and out of money as she is..drown out of everything..and then she gets again online and having a conversation with somebody she trusts and he is giving her a ticket for a vacation.. If she would have a single cell she could request to have the police cap and picture of her husband and family at her cell.. And her Bible. And the Constitution of her country. That would give her some more hope and privacy. I hope and pray that she may come out of this chinese prison one day soon. I hope this TV Station will make another story about that particular case then again. It was very well and professionally made. Let's hope and pray may she be free someday soon in the future. She does not deserve to be in that chinese prison any day longer. 🥰❤🍀🙏
I would try to find out who is Walter William..The person who is by pictures a doctor. Cyber Security of CSI Miami would find that out. And then tracking the online path.. Tracking the money she sended to that "doctor of the military/united nations" Person of interest.
There is just one thing I do not understand. Married online?? Since when is that possible?? This is ridiculous. Who is getting married online? There rules and laws to that. A marriage and a divorce are a very personal thing. Both should happen in person. As a ceremony. Eye to Eye signing also the papers of the absolutely important papers for lifetime. Anything else I would consider as illegal.
@@edwinjones7307I think he had too because she was short a few crayons in her box. Should have made their daughter her guardian as she wasn't functional enough to be alone. 🤷🏻♀️ Sad. 😢
He is a living saint, I agree. I don't speak Cantonese, but I am a teacher of Spanish and ESL/TESOL. It's clear he is quite comfortable with the language, and that's quite a feat. I've heard it's one of the more difficult ones on the planet to learn.
Who sends over $200,000 to person you have never met? This is more than naivety more like downright stupidity and desperation….. How could she be so blind ?
And had she ever really paused n think wat n a hell was a Neuro doctor needs money for!!!??? Gosh these doctors earned tons of money by their profession....🤨
Difficult to document how many hours go into a presentation like this and the number of setbacks along the way. So, I greatly appreciate the entire crew, from logistics to loggers to coordinates and archivist!
She was very sheltered and totally naive - she was desperately lonely too unfortunately! There are Call Centers in Nigeria and other countries where they’re all scamming Old Men and Women at the same time in the same room stealing Other people’s photos and Social Media profiles!
For goodness sakes, Never say never. Seriously. In fact, of the 2.4 million scam reports in 2021, young people are still the fastest growing demographic - and more likely to report being victimized by scams. These scams grow more and more sophisticated by the day. For example, in 2021, Gen Xers, Millennials, and Gen Z young adults (ages 18-59) were 34% more likely than older adults (ages 60+) to report losing money to fraud. Consumers reported losing almost $8.8 billion to scams and fraud in 2022, up 30% over 2021’s losses, according to newly released numbers from the (FTC). The rising cost of these crimes is staggering, considering that in 2020 Americans lost only $3.5 billion to fraud, including identity theft.
@@christinebuckingham8369 She should have been under daughter's supervision. She wasn't capable of self care. After her first fiasco she should not have been allowed to be online. IMO.
My guess is…The hotel manager in Ethiopia is covering for the suitcase delivery men…either to get money or to avoid the wrath of the drug cartels. My sympathy goes out to the innocent people affected by this.
@@miloslavski6149it’s not illegal but if you had known a potential crime happened on your property with a guess who had stayed for 3 weeks at your complex, guests and workers confirmed you wouldn’t go and delete a file after investigators had ask and the police came knocking.
@@ChristineDiMauro-j2h You construct your perception of that person in your head and then fall in love with this perception, which is essentially an imaginary person. So, the less you know about a real person, the more you can imagine things about them and construct a perception in your head that you want to believe.
Am I the only one finding the Ethiopian hotel manager suspicious af? Refusing to hand over the cctv footage or at least just offer to look through or help look through it. Once he's ordered by the police to hand it over, it happens to have been deleted just shortly prior. Wonder if he's somehow a collaborator
I'm sure what she meant was she's trying to be a good person a good Christian and forgive them in her heart I think that's what she meant but this tells me the fact that they released her out of the blue I believe is because they knew the investigative report was digging up too much information and was going to find out about their Connection in Hong Kong . Obviously drug dealers have gotten in at that place before and deliberately let them in and so the day this woman was stopped was probably because whoever was supposed to let them in was sick or not there . Sounds like the corruption there in that section of Hong Kong did not want to be exposed and realized the smartest thing they can do is hurry up and let her out of prison
Some people are addicted to the attention they receive from scammers and do the most stupid things against the advice of all people that love them. And they do it over and over again. I am not sure such people can really be helped. And I am also not sure it's smart to help such people.
I hate victim blaming but that's what you get for being so stubborn. I hope this becomes a lesson to everyone to listen to those who genuinely care and ignore those who you just met.
Yes but he and the other gentlemen are starting to get pretty elderly and what will happen ... who will take over for them when they can no longer do the work or have passed on
PROBLEM IS........... she could also meet a man at church, the bingo hall, a family picnic and he could be the 'love of her life'.......... and turn into an alcoholic,. wife beater and snake. There are no guarantees. Look how many divorces there are.
Good luck on that mission! In case you hadn't noticed, her mother's a little bit of a knot head. She's not interested in doing what she's told, she's interested in doing what she wants. Many of us have moms who do not listen at all, for any reason, but want to blame us when something goes wrong in their lives for not protecting them. The problem is the mom, not the daughter. And in truth, nobody has much control over another adult
As a Nigerian,I really feel sad that we are linked to this tragedy! I believe the hotel is key into the investigation. But it really beats my imagination that Susana took so much risk for a total stranger because of ‘love’ ….sad. My prayers are with the family and I believe that it will have a happy ending for them. Courage!
I don’t blame the other family members are disgusted and pissed for her very poor judgement. She needs to face that her spending money on an online love makes her other children feel they will pay for future expense, and it places a financial burden. I would never trust her. I am 65, my husband passed away 2 years ago and there is no way I would allow a man to take my husbands place let alone a freakin online fantasy man. She was a victim made from her horniness and her children were victims of her inconsiderate selfishness.
Ya I am 65 and 10 years ago I wrecked my marriage from stupidity in my mid life crazies . Total fool ,but I took responsibility for scamming myself . It’s called learning . I have days where I can’t help but have regrets . This woman needs to learn to stop being self absorbed like I was and stop . Be happy with yourself . ☺️
I hope everyone learns a lesson from this. The hotel manager should be investigated for deleting evidence, she might be an accomplice or under duress by these drug dealers. As a Nigerian, I strongly condemn all forms of scams. My heart goes out to Susan and her loved ones. I pray she gets vindicated. May God bless and protect Father John and all those who are working towards helping the victims of scams.
It takes two to tango. She made multiple free will choices. Ignored family and friend’s warnings. It is important to take accountability for one’s choices. Although she is a victim about the drug smuggling, she is responsible for her actions. I wonder if it possible that she is not all together neurotypical and maybe has personality disorder that impairs her judgment? 🤷♀️
Mid life crazies ! I know I wrecked my marriage over nothing . Couldn’t get a grip on myself . 10 years ago now I’m 65 . Wasn’t online it was my personal trainer . Let myself be taken for a ride . But I owned the responsibility for making bad choices . I’m thankful for a roof over my head and a clean place to live and I do not talk to strangers anymore . I was full of myself . I feel for this woman but at some point you really have to stop 🛑
I think cop husband w her since she was 13, knew she was a few sheets short of a full tablet. Too bad he dropped the ball. Daughter should have had guardianship. Grandma should have not had Internet access.
She stayed a naive and stubborn child all her life, at first overprotected by her parents then immediately by a new young husband who cosseted her and insulated her from reality just as her parents had done (rightly so) as a child. She somehow needs to be protected from harming herself and those that love her.
Her mother has no learning curve and is her own worst enemy. Her husband was a cop and she should have known better. Her friend warned her more than once but she chose to ignore it for a fantasy relationship. Twice!!! First money, then her freedom!!!
Bless this godly man who is helping the unfortunate people who were either innocent, trapped and have no hope. I pray for his health and that he will accomplish his mission. Thank you, Lord for this man.
She is dangerous. If she gets off when will be fooled again. This is the second incident, she does not learn. Her friend warned her repeatedly about both men. There will be a third, she cannot help herself.
My cousin fell crazily for a man online. Her only Daughter told her if she pursued that or any other online relationship she would disown her. That ended that🎉🎉
I’m ethiopian and i’ very sorry how our police officers act, I know this is what they do everyday, I would like to donate her book if she is publishing, please let me know.
Keep watching 90 day fiancee and thinking you can find yourself a foreign toyboy thats not scamming you ladies. The only reason the people in that show are safe is because of the 15 tv crew right behind them 😂
I was so relieved that she was freed and is back home. I think most people can get into a vulnerable place and be taken advantage of. I know I'd never have thought someone paying for my trip was doing it for nefarious reasons, well other than sex but not to hide drugs in buttons and use me as a drug mule. Granted, I'd never have accepted the free trip from someone I'd never met but that's because I tend to distrust things that are too good to be true. I think she had a lovely marriage and was surrounded by good, honest people, and evil like this would never have entered her mind. It's horrible that monsters prey on innocent people and that people blame the victim for what happened.
Most people might get into a vulnerable situation but most people would not be that desperate and hungry for attention and love from a man, to be selfish enough to sacrifice their family financially for strangers; and believe strangers’ lies over their best friend’s repeated warnings and concerns.
Sue Ryan, Susanna’s best friend, seemed to be correct about every single thing she told her. The fact that (assuming this is true) she told Susanna that the Ethiopians (who were really Nigerians) were going to use her as a drug mule and NOT to take anything with her that these guys give her was absolutely prescient!
This woman should’ve just been content with the love of her family but instead she had to be all needy and act like a high school girl thinking a big romance and love was around the corner for her. Tsk tsk terrible terrible.
Wow is incredible that lady is so stupid.. how the police don’t get involved and investigate the owner, manager of the hotel. It’s soo sad but’s most of those African are dishonest and scams. They done like to work ..
@@Nancie6290what are you talking about??how does a relationship love compare to your kids love?her kids her their own life AND husband..jeez you ppl are terrible
Father jon helped me way back 2021 in hongkong when i lost my job because of covid i stayed in his shelter he is a good person he helped alot refugees woman who got pregnant and foreign domestic helpers who are jobless and over stay in hongkong May God bless you father jon
It is incredible how vicious people can be to make money,first they drain the poor woman of her life savings then they trick her into smuggling drug into one of the worst country with human abuses in the world
Granny should be placed in a retirement home with no access to money or the internet, where she can fall in love with the many widowers, join knitting clubs, play bridge and do water aerobics. She will be safe to live out her crushes and cause no harm to her frustrated family due to her feeble mind.
Woman need to be wiser, and research the person's background. Her best friend is much wiser, told her NOT TO SEND MONEY, BUT SHE DID. Second time was WORSE.
What a self-righteous, sanctimonious, holier-than-thou comment. Perhaps you missed the part that explained her early life? It's perfectly understandable that she would fall prey to these kinds of scams. What's indefensible is that her family and friends could see the danger but did not intervene to stop her.
Gee, I wonder whether the guys who set Suzanne up are associated with the hotel owner/staff. One must ask why THAT hotel was selected, or how the CCTV video file was erased.
A well produced story. I noticed you shut off commenting on the next show involving this woman. She was fooled once and claimed to want to help prevent any other person from getting scammed yet decided to do the same thing, this time placing herself clearly into harm's way. It's difficult to fathom doing the same thing twice and expecting different results.
This is how people stop it … quit talking to strangers and stop answering the phone to no body’s . I know I did my own stupidity . I psyched myself out thinking my personal trainer would want someone 17 years older 😂😂😂😂mid life crazies . Took myself down the garden path .
If someone you love starts acting like this, call a lawyer immediately. Calling the police was good, but call a family attorney. He or she can help you obtain guardianship, so you can protect your loved one's health and money.
This happened to me but I predicted right away that that was a love scam… the man was fast falling in love and asked for money !!!! Why a man asked money to a woman that he fall in love?? It’s a scam!!!!
Ya I tried writing to an idiot and the letters were so long from him … normal people don’t write like that plus then he “ got assaulted and lost his wallet “ in Nigeria 😂😂😂😂I asked him if he’s trying to scam me . He said no then I just blocked and deleted . I never like fb anyway . I don’t need imaginary friends to feel important . I have 5 friends I go for coffee and they don’t want money 😂
Immature needy woman! What a terrible story of this 64 yo Canadian woman, but I was struck by how she was victimizing herself to her daughter. Saying things like “I don’t even want you to know what it’s like here!” I think that is worse than saying. It’s dirty crowded smelly etc. Imagination of the listener can be greater than the mother’s reality. She sounds immature and needy, the mom that is.
I agree, she faced the consequences of her poor judgement and ignorance. If u r lonely, why not try find sm1 face to face in same country or region u r in ...this is not blind love or lust..its pure stupidity
Plus she really thinks a handsome independent man would want an old lady, she was just kinda okay but not good looking enough to fly to see.@@DaveSabharwal
That is exactly what I thought. If you don't want your loved ones to think about it, don't mention it. And especially not that way! I feel so sorry fer her daughter.
As someone who has had loved ones taken from me suddenly & unexpectedly, I felt a deep compassion for the daughter in this story and how helpless she must have felt. I was happy to read that her mother was released and is back with her family. I hope that the mother will have the courage to seek out the psychological help & support that she needs. I wish her nothing but the very best on the rest of her life’s journey. I would like to give a very sincere & heartfelt “thank you” to Father John, Jane & Michael Arthur for the work that you’re doing. What a Dream Team you were for that whole family & also for all of the other families in similar circumstances. I tip my cap to all 3 of you. 🧢
WOW! THANK GOD SHE WAS RELEASED! SHE IS AN INNOCENT, SHE WAS SHELTERED FROM REAL WORLD FROM FAMILY, AND HUSBAND, THEN HE DIED, SO I IMAGINE SHE WAS LOST TO THE WORLD, A TARGET FOR EVIL PEOPLE! I PRAY SHES MATURED IN HER HARDSHIPS, A HARD WAY TO LEARN, A LIFES VALUED LESSONS, EVERYONE IS NOT GOOD , TRUSTING! PRAYING FOR HER, SO SAD! SMH! ONLY EVIL CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LESS FORTUNATE, WOMEN, PEOPLE, PERIOD! GOD 👀 SEES, I HOPE THEY ARE STOPPED!!
I am an Australia 💁♀️🇦🇺 who tunes in from down under. This story is compelling to say the least and my heart pours tears for this Lady’s children. To find that behind the scenes is a Samaritan minister who reigns from here is stunning to say the least. His tenacity, honesty & God driven role to assist in this matter will be key to resolving the outcome. Thankyou for reporting on this fragile case, while building and armistice to cast light on internet scandals and life altering injustices. Blessings abound🙏☦️☮️
I'm very sorry for what happened to this lady. My heart goes out to her and her family. I spent 1 year in Tai Lam center and 6 years in Lo Wu CI. Things were very bad when I got there in 2011. By the time I left in 2018, I've been through a lot, I've stood my ground on human rights to make things better for everyone, mostly for us Westerners. I was just one of two white Westerners. Prison in HK is not easy, you need to stand strong, there are many good prison guards. The law of HK is very bad when ot come to DDT, Dangerous Drug Trafficking. I'm really one of the very few people that ever won appeal against sentace. I know father John, I've met him while I was there. He try to help some of the people.
It takes a junkie to see another, and yes, I was using before. Been there done that. I've been clean for over 13 years, and I don't look back on my life. I look forward. And just to inform you, you know nothing. I'm a hustler 💯 I do what i need to do. I have no fear only of my Creator. Judge and you will be judged by Him. Before starting, calling people names, think off YOUR own life, and then cast the first stone. No one I've ever met used any kind of substance for NO reason. The devil is everywhere and deserves the vonorable. I WAS broken and vonorable. Thanks to all I've been through in HK, IM A STONG WOMAN your shallow words are nothing to me. PS. get a life 😊
A suitcase full of presents and over 260 buttons attached to the clothes and a ticket to Hongkong from someone you never met. Yes. Thats totally insuspicious 😅.
Ya no alarm bells going off 😵💫. Sad cause she could have just found a guy from down the street who would gladly take her money . Keep it in her own country . 😂
The amazing part of the story is the "victim" having such a smart best friend who repeatedly advises her and she repeatedly ignores her advice. In addition, her daughter is loyal and repeatedly rescues her. God protects fools and children.
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Psilocybin is legal in some states and mushroom therapy is allowed in many states as a legitimate medical treatment. So I believe soon it'll be globally used as a treatment for anxiety, depression, and more.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in New Zealand. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He's 59 & has many mental health issues plus probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD knows if it is common for an obsession with violence.
She did not realize how vulnerable she was or that she put herself at risk without any type of common sense. In many ways she’s lucky to be alive and such a rude awakening. The fact that she survived this ordeal is a tribute to her strength and newly acquired life skills.
The frustration, and resentment that has been caused by my mother in law’s constant contact with the scammers has almost completely alienated her from the family. She wasn’t a great person to begin with so this behavior of hers with the scammer involvement has made it easier to not want anything to do with her.
That priest is a true Saint on Earth in so many ways.

I do agree with you!
Red flags always arise when I hear charity / church
Such gullibility is to be pitied but also annoying that she ignored those closest to her for someone who she has never met.
And her continued hunt for a man, if I was a guy I would steer clear of such a desperate and dependent woman, she would be a freakin anchor .
And more annoying that her family and friends did not intervene more forcefully to protect her from the danger they all clearly saw.
@@TheMangoMussolini she is the type that nobody can tell her a thing but now she is living with her daughter and continues to look for Mr. Goodbar to support her knarly arse.
@@TheMangoMussoliniMore forcefully? How?!? Put her on a chain so she doesn’t run a way?
@@olgayarovaya3920 Yes, it's called restraining a person for their protection. Perhaps you're lacking in the basics of looking out for friends and family? My guess is if you had a 14 year old son who had just taken the shotgun off the rack and loaded it and was heading out the door to "settle" something with one of his friends, that you'd just say, fine dear, have fun.
I'm a Nigerian and I'm really ashamed of our image on the global space. I'm so sorry this innocent woman is going through this problem. The hotel manager should be arrested, I'm pretty sure she's a culprit. She initially said the cctv recording is kept for a year, how come it was deleted after 4 months?
I agree that somehow the hotel was involved and should be investigated. The police should check into who paid for the room in Ethiopia and Hong Kong. There are very ordinary Internet Technicians who can investigate payments and internet messages.
I've had the pleasure of visiting Nigeria (Lagos, Abuja, and a quick cross border trip to Porto Novo). There are people in the world who only know how to imagine the worst about a place and its people based on the actions of a few. You do not need to feel shame for your image, because for the haters, there's nothing that can be done to change that view. The others, those that can see past the darkness that exists every country on earth, know what gracious and kind people there are in Nigeria, which is quite remarkable given the huge ethnic groupings there. My friend, who made the initial invitation to visit Nigeria, would not stop teaching me customs, language (which one of 200+ dialects!), food, and especially the warning signs of a scam heading my way. I've gone the long way around to say it, but I agree with you. The hotel manager was, in my view, certainly in on it. While I don't think he had anything to do with the actual crime, I have no doubt that he lined her pockets well to erase or otherwise dispose of the CCTV footage.
She was a part of it
I am sorry that some of your fellow Nigerians (likely a very small percentage of the population) engage in such dishonest and cruel behavior, all for money. There are scammers everywhere, but some of your countrymen were the first to get that image as they showed up early in the online scam game. This is just a very sad story, and I agree that something is going on with that hotel manager. Peace to you.
I work as a fraud investigator in the UK and I can’t lie the majority of fraud cases I come across are from Nigerians
The worst thing about nearly all of the victims of these scams is they don’t, and won’t believe it when people tell them they’re scammers!
That’s because they refuse to accept the fact that they sexted with an 18 year old hoodlum, black as night. I became friends with the guy who tried to scam me and this is his description. We face timed.
True, they are blind and death to the truth, no matter how obvious it is.
She should have listened to her friend, after all she has the voice of a seasoned detective
😂😂🤣
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 I holler not her voice
She IS the wise voice of reason, actually. She saw everything immediately and was clear with her warnings. Shame to have such a savvy friend who just wasn’t listened to.

@@dj_on_hugostupidity blinds
there has been cases like hers, family, friends, colleagues etc telling the person it’s a scam, but the refuses to believe them
She's from a small village,naive and looking for love probably. No one wants to be scammed and put in jail.
It's sad that she valued a stranger (who turned out to be a scammer) more than she valued her family 😢
We are talking about my sister. The biggest cheapskate I've ever known - not only gave every penny - took out a loan! This is a woman who will not even put a dollar in the collection basket on Sunday. She did this TWICE! She did this three years ago - We thought she stopped - She did it again!
Sometimes it be like‼️especially if she is lonely and depressed‼️looking for love in the wrong‼️just like when we were younger we didn't listen to our family when they told us to leave people alone ‼️we didn't see what they saw in the people‼️💯💯
I've seen this happen to women I know. They fall for this same scam and won't listen to anyone-not friends or family. I know you're one, but the truth is most of your kid are extremely insecure unwise to the World and men know this and prey upon it.
@@dukecity7688 so sorry 😣 she made some really bad decisions.
Well said
Some lessons are hard to be learnt. Listen to your loved ones… not to the idiot you just met on the internet.
and now she is in jail 😅
I agree she had multiple warnings from multiple ppl. Had this not happened she would have cont to get scammed
She says she is now done with online dating 😂🤣
I just saw a thread on another channel where somebody said their 64 yr. old mother was on all the different dating sites trying to find a husband -- she met some guy online but only met him once in person and and one month is moving away giving up her life and everyone she knows to go move several states away to be with that man who she only met in person once .
The bravery you showed is nothing short of extraordinary. With their lives on the line, you fearlessly took on the challenge of retrieving their stolen assets from the fraudsters. Your actions command deep respect, *Stalwart-Redeem* If law enforcement operated with even a fraction of your commitment and creativity (and integrity), the USA would be a far safer place. Incredible work!
He is truly exceptional, and his tools are so impressive that I occasionally wonder if he’s even human, haha. The bottom line is that *Stalwart-redeem* is the ultimate expert in recvering from scaams.
This is actually what happened to me some weeks ago after falling for a binary option scam but I was able to report to the right person *Stalwart-redeem*
How can I con nect with this specia list as well
He mostly interacts on Telle grams using the user
*@stalwartredeem* THAT IS HIS USER NAME
Sounds like that hotel was in on the drug running and scammers. Too convenient that they deleted it. With full knowledge about it. Manager needs to be investigated.
Yes probably not the first “ guest” that’s been there . Now they got to be careful cause they almost got caught . Probably some families never heard from their loved ones again
Oh right! When a White male goes there and demand video tape it must provide or it's assumed to be guilty...
Now imagine a Black Ethiopian Priest goes to Park Hyatt in Toronto and demand their CCTV footage?? He'd be kicked out or lockee up in jail...
I cant stand that White ppl's will be done bs... this is 2023 not 1823 no more.
Probably the police too.they had the responsibility to ask fir the footage.thats why the manager denied .she actually did her job well as instructed by her boss.she knew the police won't take the footage thsts why she s all confident in denying.that makes everything even more sad knowing how they watched her talked to her knowing they ll turn her into a mule and nobody felt pitty to give her a hint knowing well what might happen to her
I love you so much, for that talk thank you so much
This footage would still be useless. Even if someone else delivered the luggage, so what? Suzy could still be part of the gang.
For her to put her daughter through all this is despicable 😮
Much safer to go and adopt a dog or cat from a shelter - that will be a guaranteed way to find Real Love!
Yes Yes. That’s the best love at her age . You don’t find decent, honest, real guys. On line. And these women believe all this BS
I couldn't have said better! Animals don't fake love and don't care about your money, your age, your size etc. She could have saved lots of animals with all this money! It's a pity she didn't listen to her best friend. It can happened one time ... but two ?!! And about the hotel manager he or she's surely involved in something! Why not showing or donating the CCTV the first time? It was a red flag! What about the authorities, cops etc? Are they all so corrupt and I mean in both countries!!! Only a 76 years man is doing their jobs one million times better ! Her poor daughter who traveled the world just to see her mom 15 minutes must have been her worst nightmare! I don't buy the covid excuse! The prison manager was surely aware that a TV Channel was covering the case and it was a problem!!!
Finally don't trust ANYONE neither friends and family in many case too.
I totally agree with you their love is forever bad or good situation they love you as long as you love them back with warmth food and lots of love , those men are heartless , surly her family told her or thought it was somthing wrong . Hope she gets out anyway if so get a puppy 🐶 or kitty
Not quite about love, it’s also about sex. Some people can’t do without it. See her see-through tops. No hate towards her for being a sexual being; it’s just life; some still need sex till the end.
Exactly what I'm saying, what does granny want a boyfriend for, you rode that bus already, time to sit on the bench
Hotel manager should be arrested for deleting the CCTV footage deliberately
He doesn't have the obligation to share it with various Australian priests. It's for personal use.
The hotel is quite obviously part of this drug organization.
@@miloslavski6149 "Personal use"???
Man its Hong kong they don't care about white ppl stuff 😂😂
@@miloslavski6149 that is simply not true they are obligated to show anything that is related to Crime that could have possibly been on those tapes unless it is that corrupt ... I guess they are a corrupt country ?
I had always heard that Ethiopia is actually a pretty cool place but then again I guess any place can have corruption
Once bitten twice shy they say but twice and ignoring your friends and family warnings is straight stupidity I have no sympathy.
💯 true she is very ignorant and naive
Exactly!!!
I’m from Hong Kong, trust me hk government doesn’t spare anyone with drug trafficking, it’s so sad to see the daughter in this situation cause I understand her pain. I hope someday a miracle happens and they can be together once again.
The fact that she compared herself to Job is proof she refuses to understand what she did wrong and will likely fall for a variety of different scams now that she's out of jail. 😳
How do you know she is out of jail? Is there an update?
I can imagine how she would feel when being incarcerated in a foreign country. However, she was deceived once and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Her stupidity dominated her action again. What is wrong with her? Now that she was released from prison and returned to Ontario, she should wake up, not try to live in a brain of an infant.
Exactly like teen in heat
Don't worry about her, next step she would just fall in love with someone who will just be using her to get a visa. Speaking from an African girl
@@Hassania-jw8zmOhhhh I know that one! Yep!
She was released?
@@eerthangelyeah I'm going to have to look that up also I hope she was released and I hope she finally wised up and if not to hell with her stupid ass😂
My mother in law has been supporting Nigerian scammers for years! We’ve repeatedly shown her all of the proof that the pictures of men were not who she was talking to. We even contacted the real person whose photo they were using, and even after she talked to them she continued to communicate, and send money to scammers! At one point four Nigerian young men came forth, and apologized to her, showed her their real faces, but told her they found Jesus, and admitted to scamming her!! Even this didn’t stop the madness!
Wow . What a sad predicament . Nice to hear some can repent ! That woman needs to wake up
If they have truly found Jesus, they should return all what they've stolen to their poor victims
Criminals and bad people hiding behind religion. Again. Never trust a "religion" person, there is plenty of proof of what they can really be.
I hope that you protect yourselves from her stupidity legally and financially.
I’ve heard that if the victim is religious, the scammers sometimes pretend to “come clean” and thank Jesus and profess their real love, just so they can extract even more money.
I feel so sorry for the daughter. How can a grown as woman, a mother and grandmother be so naive? Its like a grown toddler.
Yes, she is unbelievably gullible she lost all her savings and now her freedom and family and friend.
Dont feel sorry for the daughter. She is also at fault for knowing what was happening and not alerting the police to look into it until it was too late. Why did she not tell the police immediately when her mom got a ticket to Ethiopia that she needed an intervention?
Naivety and immaturity.
Stupid..
Some people grow in body & physically. But the brain cells stay as same as the day they were born.
Then again 'Common sense is not common either'.
I watched subsequent videos made by the television station regarding her case. She has returned safely home and is living with her daughter now. What struck me as odd, personally, was when she was meeting with the Priest, the Attorney advocate who works with him, Her personal Attorney, and the Journalist who covered her story,to say goodbye (to the Team who won her freedom) Never Once did she simply say Thank You to any of them! She did not say thank you to her daughter as she picked her up upon her arrival, who also helped her and who she now lives with either! (as she sent all of her money and money she borrowed to the scammer) She said she is disappointed by other family members who are having a hard time forgiving her. She said SHE is the ONLY Victim in all of this - she thinks her family did not suffer, only she did. She is also already dating - maybe her family would forgive her if she spent her time reconnecting with them all and getting a job to repay them and also help out her daughter too! She seems to wish to remain a perpetual child that everyone else has to take care of. She seems to expect from others without showing any gratitude. (from what was shown in the videos anyway.)
She did say thankyou
She was very grateful and praised god for her freedom

This lady don't be hard on her not all of us pickup quickly, May she learn
From her bad judgement And not online one 🎉
I am sad if this is true!
Her daughter is accepting of her behavior and she believes that because her dad, her mother's husband who passed away, always took care of the mom that now her family should as well. This is a perfect example of why families need to teach their daughters to depend on themselves instead of depending on others. This mom is obviously looking for another man to take care of her, that is why she is putting herself back on the market. As far as some of the rest of the aren't rallying around her is that she lost over $205,000.00 in a scam. This is money her husband left her an she squandered it on a man/scam. The other family members have no more money to waste on a person who is not responsible with money. By the way I also noticed she did not say thank you to all those that helped her, to late now. I hope her daughter understands that these comments are not against her but she needs to step back and expect that her mom takes some responsibility and I am sure she has a monthly income from her husbands pension and life insurance and should step up and pay something the roof over her head.
I did pick up on her selfish nature when in prison and the calls.
I'm not surprised that this is true but I'm still glad she's out of prison
I just can't imagine a woman who was married to a police officer for many years could be this gullible when people actually told her exactly what was going to happen. Now she's playing the poor grandma card. It's hard to have sympathy for such stupidity!
I'm sure her husband protected her from the corruption that was going on outside the home.
Well, Ms. Kathy 411
you can not say that like that.
You have to put yourself into her situation to understand the full picture.
Yes, on the first sight somebody might think that what you do.
This person or gang what I assume made all of this very smart.
This person or they have choosen a persons profile of somebody she would relate to..
a) most likely to trust..and as I recall it from my mind the first contact online was a military doctor working for the united nations.. That's a really high ranking person of trust.
That's why she trusted this person.
Beeing together before with a police officer. The contact happend to be in 2021 according to the cronical dates of this video after 2016 her husband passed away.
2020/2021 Pandemic the so called pandemic made in China. The time of the Lockdowns and quarantines and big anxiety.
And loneliness on a high scale around the Globe 🌎
And after she sended him all the money..lots of money..she lost even her home 😳😓🤦♀️
and had to move back to her daughter's home..
..actually this story should be over here..Normally..
But then another Person or the same person (we don't know) the person got her attention..her friend suspects it's the same person..(that's an intersting idea)
is getting her attention online while she is writing her book about the scam..
..and out of money as she is..drown out of everything..and then she gets again online and having a conversation with somebody she trusts and he is giving her a ticket for a vacation..
If she would have a single cell she could request to have the police cap and picture of her husband and family at her cell..
And her Bible. And the Constitution of her country.
That would give her some more hope and privacy.
I hope and pray that she may come out of this chinese prison one day soon.
I hope this TV Station will make another story about that particular case then again.
It was very well and professionally made.
Let's hope and pray may she be free someday soon in the future. She does not deserve to be in that chinese prison any day longer.
🥰❤🍀🙏
I would try to find out who is Walter William..The person who is by pictures a doctor. Cyber Security of CSI Miami would find that out. And then tracking the online path..
Tracking the money she sended to that
"doctor of the military/united nations"
Person of interest.
There is just one thing
I do not understand. Married online??
Since when is that possible??
This is ridiculous.
Who is getting married online?
There rules and laws to that.
A marriage and a divorce are a very personal thing.
Both should happen in person. As a ceremony. Eye to Eye signing also the papers of the absolutely important papers for lifetime.
Anything else I would consider as illegal.
@@edwinjones7307I think he had too because she was short a few crayons in her box. Should have made their daughter her guardian as she wasn't functional enough to be alone. 🤷🏻♀️ Sad. 😢

He is a living saint, I agree. I don't speak Cantonese, but I am a teacher of Spanish and ESL/TESOL. It's clear he is quite comfortable with the language, and that's quite a feat. I've heard it's one of the more difficult ones on the planet to learn.
Well he's been living there for 30 years so I'm sure the Cantonese became very easy for him at one point
Who sends over $200,000 to person you have never met? This is more than naivety more like downright stupidity and desperation….. How could she be so blind ?
I agree 100%. I dont feel sorry for her.
And had she ever really paused n think wat n a hell was a Neuro doctor needs money for!!!??? Gosh these doctors earned tons of money by their profession....🤨
They basically used her money to buy the tickets, clothes, etc and make a profit.

Utopia is not real. For goodness sake was she educated or not ?
Sorry to sound harsh but I am now 86 and would never ever fall for any scammer.
I think that was just a mispronunciation and they meant Ethiopia.
She was very sheltered and totally naive - she was desperately lonely too unfortunately! There are Call Centers in Nigeria and other countries where they’re all scamming Old Men and Women at the same time in the same room stealing Other people’s photos and Social Media profiles!
Age has nothing to do with it. These scammers are skilled in their tactics
For goodness sakes, Never say never. Seriously. In fact, of the 2.4 million scam reports in 2021, young people are still the fastest growing demographic - and more likely to report being victimized by scams. These scams grow more and more sophisticated by the day.
For example, in 2021, Gen Xers, Millennials, and Gen Z young adults (ages 18-59) were 34% more likely than older adults (ages 60+) to report losing money to fraud.
Consumers reported losing almost $8.8 billion to scams and fraud in 2022, up 30% over 2021’s losses, according to newly released numbers from the (FTC). The rising cost of these crimes is staggering, considering that in 2020 Americans lost only $3.5 billion to fraud, including identity theft.
@@christinebuckingham8369
She should have been under daughter's supervision. She wasn't capable of self care. After her first fiasco she should not have been allowed to be online. IMO.
My guess is…The hotel manager in Ethiopia is covering for the suitcase delivery men…either to get money or to avoid the wrath of the drug cartels. My sympathy goes out to the innocent people affected by this.
Is it illegal to deliver suitcases to hotels? How do you know what was inside?
@@miloslavski6149it’s not illegal but if you had known a potential crime happened on your property with a guess who had stayed for 3 weeks at your complex, guests and workers confirmed you wouldn’t go and delete a file after investigators had ask and the police came knocking.
How can you love someone you haven’t met?
@@ChristineDiMauro-j2h You construct your perception of that person in your head and then fall in love with this perception, which is essentially an imaginary person. So, the less you know about a real person, the more you can imagine things about them and construct a perception in your head that you want to believe.
Am I the only one finding the Ethiopian hotel manager suspicious af? Refusing to hand over the cctv footage or at least just offer to look through or help look through it. Once he's ordered by the police to hand it over, it happens to have been deleted just shortly prior. Wonder if he's somehow a collaborator
I think he is!
You just never know those people over that side you just don’t trust
broken hearts, broken system ..... I am almost of words
who knows even the police are not bribed?
They all worked together…even from Hong Kong..messages are relayed back to these gangs..the whole system is corrupt.
She actually said that she even love the ones that hurt her. Wow! What an idiot!!! She could still be scammed.
I would imagine that she will be scammed again.
sigh,she's still no realized no such person
Seriously, she's just beyond repair!
I'm sure what she meant was she's trying to be a good person a good Christian and forgive them in her heart I think that's what she meant but this tells me the fact that they released her out of the blue I believe is because they knew the investigative report was digging up too much information and was going to find out about their Connection in Hong Kong .
Obviously drug dealers have gotten in at that place before and deliberately let them in and so the day this woman was stopped was probably because whoever was supposed to let them in was sick or not there .
Sounds like the corruption there in that section of Hong Kong did not want to be exposed and realized the smartest thing they can do is hurry up and let her out of prison
Apparently she is. You were right. She is out of prison, living with her daughter and dating AGAIN.
Some people are addicted to the attention they receive from scammers and do the most stupid things against the advice of all people that love them. And they do it over and over again. I am not sure such people can really be helped. And I am also not sure it's smart to help such people.
I hate victim blaming but that's what you get for being so stubborn. I hope this becomes a lesson to everyone to listen to those who genuinely care and ignore those who you just met.
Father John is a true human angel! ❤
Yes but he and the other gentlemen are starting to get pretty elderly and what will happen ... who will take over for them when they can no longer do the work or have passed on
I hope she keeps her mom away from computers now.
PROBLEM IS........... she could also meet a man at church, the bingo hall, a family picnic
and he could be the 'love of her life'.......... and turn into an alcoholic,. wife beater and snake. There are no guarantees. Look how many divorces there are.
Good luck on that mission! In case you hadn't noticed, her mother's a little bit of a knot head. She's not interested in doing what she's told, she's interested in doing what she wants. Many of us have moms who do not listen at all, for any reason, but want to blame us when something goes wrong in their lives for not protecting them. The problem is the mom, not the daughter. And in truth, nobody has much control over another adult
I Hate computers.
As a Nigerian,I really feel sad that we are linked to this tragedy! I believe the hotel is key into the investigation. But it really beats my imagination that Susana took so much risk for a total stranger because of ‘love’ ….sad. My prayers are with the family and I believe that it will have a happy ending for them. Courage!

The hotel officer who deleted the footage almost put me in tears.
The footage wouldn't be able to prove anything. Ok some african men brought some suitcase. So what? Can the footage show what was inside?
@@miloslavski6149 The purpose of viewing the footage would be to help identify the perpetrators.
I don’t blame the other family members are disgusted and pissed for her very poor judgement. She needs to face that her spending money on an online love makes her other children feel they will pay for future expense, and it places a financial burden. I would never trust her. I am 65, my husband passed away 2 years ago and there is no way I would allow a man to take my husbands place let alone a freakin online fantasy man. She was a victim made from her horniness and her children were victims of her inconsiderate selfishness.
I don't think 65 yrs old women get horny anymore.
Ya I am 65 and 10 years ago I wrecked my marriage from stupidity in my mid life crazies . Total fool ,but I took responsibility for scamming myself . It’s called learning . I have days where I can’t help but have regrets . This woman needs to learn to stop being self absorbed like I was and stop . Be happy with yourself . ☺️
I’m with you sister! Some women NEED a man.
Loneliness is a disease that kills its victims slowly and silently.
I hope everyone learns a lesson from this. The hotel manager should be investigated for deleting evidence, she might be an accomplice or under duress by these drug dealers. As a Nigerian, I strongly condemn all forms of scams. My heart goes out to Susan and her loved ones. I pray she gets vindicated. May God bless and protect Father John and all those who are working towards helping the victims of scams.
As a Canadian I suggest to other Canadians to NEVER stay in the hotel in Ethiopia. I think they are in on it. I figure better safe than sorry.
Or just be alert? Never hurt to be suspicious.
That sounds like some toddler logic, like avoiding drowning by never going near water.
She sure is paying for not listening to her family now…..I just don’t feel sorry for her….her husband is turning in his grave
What truly scares me is that these people have a right to vote, when they cannot make even the most basic decisions correctly.
👍
How sad....and also frustrating to see the stubbornness and blindness of this poor woman. I feel so much for her daughter.....
It takes two to tango. She made multiple free will choices. Ignored family and friend’s warnings. It is important to take accountability for one’s choices. Although she is a victim about the drug smuggling, she is responsible for her actions. I wonder if it possible that she is not all together neurotypical and maybe has personality disorder that impairs her judgment? 🤷♀️
You're absolutely right
She’s blind
Mid life crazies ! I know I wrecked my marriage over nothing . Couldn’t get a grip on myself . 10 years ago now I’m 65 . Wasn’t online it was my personal trainer . Let myself be taken for a ride . But I owned the responsibility for making bad choices . I’m thankful for a roof over my head and a clean place to live and I do not talk to strangers anymore . I was full of myself . I feel for this woman but at some point you really have to stop 🛑
I think cop husband w her since she was 13, knew she was a few sheets short of a full tablet. Too bad he dropped the ball. Daughter should have had guardianship. Grandma should have not had Internet access.
She stayed a naive and stubborn child all her life, at first overprotected by her parents then immediately by a new young husband who cosseted her and insulated her from reality just as her parents had done (rightly so) as a child.
She somehow needs to be protected from harming herself and those that love her.
A neurosurgeon needing cash...ffs woman...really? Sorry for your trouble...
Rich people may also need cash sometimes. For example for medical reasons or to invest into something profitable.
@miloslavski6149 rich people don't need people to send them money, they already have lots of it.
Father John and the social worker are a fantastic team! Amazing work, amazing people ❤
The fact that most of these people never considered the warning by friends, is amazing!!
Love is blind.
Her mother has no learning curve and is her own worst enemy. Her husband was a cop and she should have known better. Her friend warned her more than once but she chose to ignore it for a fantasy relationship. Twice!!! First money, then her freedom!!!
This makes me wonder what is wrong with her.
I’m wondering if she doesn’t have a high iq 😢
It does make us wonder what was really wrong with her. Surely nobody is THAT desperate to be loved. She had a family who loved her.

Mid life crazies I call it . I had my own stupid phase . A person has to appreciate what u have and stop thinking just of yourself 💔
Bless this godly man who is helping the unfortunate people who were either innocent, trapped and have no hope. I pray for his health and that he will accomplish his mission. Thank you, Lord for this man.
This is a nightmare.
Her best friend in Canada is savvy! She knew exactly what was up.
Could have called the police. No?
She is dangerous. If she gets off when will be fooled again. This is the second incident, she does not learn. Her friend warned her repeatedly about both men. There will be a third, she cannot help herself.
W55 thank you for bringing this to our attention, I appreciate what your doing and I am greatly proud of your news channel. Thank You
Terrible thing to do to your children.
My cousin fell crazily for a man online. Her only Daughter told her if she pursued that or any other online relationship she would disown her. That ended that🎉🎉
So, she was released after 270 days? That's incredible. I think this documentary influenced the decision.
I’m ethiopian and i’ very sorry how our police officers act, I know this is what they do everyday, I would like to donate her book if she is publishing, please let me know.
Even the air port workers on it to ለሌላ ሲሆን አንደኛ ናቸው
Keep watching 90 day fiancee and thinking you can find yourself a foreign toyboy thats not scamming you ladies. The only reason the people in that show are safe is because of the 15 tv crew right behind them 😂
I was so relieved that she was freed and is back home. I think most people can get into a vulnerable place and be taken advantage of. I know I'd never have thought someone paying for my trip was doing it for nefarious reasons, well other than sex but not to hide drugs in buttons and use me as a drug mule. Granted, I'd never have accepted the free trip from someone I'd never met but that's because I tend to distrust things that are too good to be true.
I think she had a lovely marriage and was surrounded by good, honest people, and evil like this would never have entered her mind. It's horrible that monsters prey on innocent people and that people blame the victim for what happened.
Most people might get into a vulnerable situation but most people would not be that desperate and hungry for attention and love from a man, to be selfish enough to sacrifice their family financially for strangers; and believe strangers’ lies over their best friend’s repeated warnings and concerns.
Unfortunately in the name of Love I hear far too many desperate stories weather they travel near or afar.
If your mom listened to you and her best friend she won't ended up like this. Don't feel sad and bad.😢
My mom always said to me, "Hard head,you can't hear,hard head you will feel."
Sue Ryan, Susanna’s best friend, seemed to be correct about every single thing she told her. The fact that (assuming this is true) she told Susanna that the Ethiopians (who were really Nigerians) were going to use her as a drug mule and NOT to take anything with her that these guys give her was absolutely prescient!
In some countries, the punishment for drug smuggling is death.
That's unbelievable that a woman from a first world country could fall into scam for twice.
Most or the ppl scammed from what you called first world country
Whom are the least educated by the way and not so smart
This woman was sheltered all her life and only just got outside of that mindset only to be taken advantage off by Nigerian scammers.
She is mentally challenged. This happens all the time
This woman should’ve just been content with the love of her family but instead she had to be all needy and act like a high school girl thinking a big romance and love was around the corner for her. Tsk tsk terrible terrible.
I hope her new boyfriend wised up and bailed, she is to desperate.
Yes the grass is never greener on the other side .
Wow is incredible that lady is so stupid.. how the police don’t get involved and investigate the owner, manager of the hotel. It’s soo sad but’s most of those African are dishonest and scams. They done like to work ..
@@Nancie6290what are you talking about??how does a relationship love compare to your kids love?her kids her their own life AND husband..jeez you ppl are terrible

Father jon helped me way back 2021 in hongkong when i lost my job because of covid i stayed in his shelter he is a good person he helped alot refugees woman who got pregnant and foreign domestic helpers who are jobless and over stay in hongkong
May God bless you father jon
It is incredible how vicious people can be to make money,first they drain the poor woman of her life savings then they trick her into smuggling drug into one of the worst country with human abuses in the world
This is classic elderly abuse: we need to stop blaming the victims! 😡
Why this hotel manager refused to hand over the video😡😡😡😡
Because she could be unalived if not compliant.
Paid
@@BlueHeron654don’t paint her as a victim… she got paid
Granny should be placed in a retirement home with no access to money or the internet, where she can fall in love with the many widowers, join knitting clubs, play bridge and do water aerobics. She will be safe to live out her crushes and cause no harm to her frustrated family due to her feeble mind.
The 2nd scam was using her as a drugs smuggler, they paid for her trip! They would need to put a flight constrain on her as well, somehow!
💯
Woman need to be wiser, and research the person's background. Her best friend is much wiser, told her NOT TO SEND MONEY, BUT SHE DID. Second time was WORSE.
How can you be so gullible!!☹️🤦♀️
she's not gullible,she's desperate to have a bf to show people she's not alone
What a self-righteous, sanctimonious, holier-than-thou comment. Perhaps you missed the part that explained her early life? It's perfectly understandable that she would fall prey to these kinds of scams. What's indefensible is that her family and friends could see the danger but did not intervene to stop her.
She's gullible @@marimont26
@@marimont26both are true. Gullible because she was desperate for love.
Btw being tricked once is bad, but for a 2nd time is inexcusable.
Was the lady set free
That Hotel in Nigeria is involved in the scam.
Ethiopia. Could be any random hotel. For the scammers there is no difference which hotel to use.
Those who don’t hear must feel 🤷🏼♀️
I believe the manager of the hotel knows something about the situation, he must be Questioning by the authorities.
Exactly. He is most likely in on it.
AGREE
Which authorities?
They're all interconnected.
Authorities? In Ethiopia? You are even more naive than our Suzy.
Who else thinks the hotel is tied into this?
If they were not ,one may think they could be more helpful .
@@Nancie6290 agree completely. Just feels fishy to me to destroy what they know people are legally trying to obtain.
Gee, I wonder whether the guys who set Suzanne up are associated with the hotel owner/staff. One must ask why THAT hotel was selected, or how the CCTV video file was erased.
Corruption
Yah think?
blinded by love, broken and now suffering behind bars..
Now released and looking for her next love on a dating site 😂🤣
I would never go to a third world country with a strange man, all expenses paid or not!
Exactly ! I hate flying anyway but Ethiopia . Egads .
He wasn't even there. What was she doing for three weeks on her own? The level of stupidity is off the charts.
A well produced story. I noticed you shut off commenting on the next show involving this woman. She was fooled once and claimed to want to help prevent any other person from getting scammed yet decided to do the same thing, this time placing herself clearly into harm's way. It's difficult to fathom doing the same thing twice and expecting different results.
This is how people stop it … quit talking to strangers and stop answering the phone to no body’s . I know I did my own stupidity . I psyched myself out thinking my personal trainer would want someone 17 years older 😂😂😂😂mid life crazies . Took myself down the garden path .
She's got another boyfriend now and she's bk home in Canada 😅😅😅
If someone you love starts acting like this, call a lawyer immediately. Calling the police was good, but call a family attorney. He or she can help you obtain guardianship, so you can protect your loved one's health and money.
She's bk home and has a new boyfriend 😅😅😅
This happened to me but I predicted right away that that was a love scam… the man was fast falling in love and asked for money !!!! Why a man asked money to a woman that he fall in love?? It’s a scam!!!!
Ya I tried writing to an idiot and the letters were so long from him … normal people don’t write like that plus then he “ got assaulted and lost his wallet “ in Nigeria 😂😂😂😂I asked him if he’s trying to scam me . He said no then I just blocked and deleted . I never like fb anyway . I don’t need imaginary friends to feel important . I have 5 friends I go for coffee and they don’t want money 😂
@@Nancie6290 What was the point of asking him if he trying to scam you? What answer were you expecting?
Immature needy woman! What a terrible story of this 64 yo Canadian woman, but I was struck by how she was victimizing herself to her daughter. Saying things like “I don’t even want you to know what it’s like here!” I think that is worse than saying. It’s dirty crowded smelly etc. Imagination of the listener can be greater than the mother’s reality. She sounds immature and needy, the mom that is.
Yes, and the pictures of her on her phone, clueless, ignoring everyone else are foreshadow of what is to come for her self- centredness.
I agree, she faced the consequences of her poor judgement and ignorance. If u r lonely, why not try find sm1 face to face in same country or region u r in ...this is not blind love or lust..its pure stupidity
Plus she really thinks a handsome independent man would want an old lady, she was just kinda okay but not good looking enough to fly to see.@@DaveSabharwal
@@DaveSabharwalWith AI you can no longer be sure that you are Face-Time with someone that you think is real.😊
That is exactly what I thought. If you don't want your loved ones to think about it, don't mention it. And especially not that way!
I feel so sorry fer her daughter.
As someone who has had loved ones taken from me suddenly & unexpectedly, I felt a deep compassion for the daughter in this story and how helpless she must have felt. I was happy to read that her mother was released and is back with her family.
I hope that the mother will have the courage to seek out the psychological help & support that she needs. I wish her nothing but the very best on the rest of her life’s journey.
I would like to give a very sincere & heartfelt “thank you” to Father John, Jane & Michael Arthur for the work that you’re doing. What a Dream Team you were for that whole family & also for all of the other families in similar circumstances. I tip my cap to all 3 of you. 🧢
WOW! THANK GOD SHE WAS RELEASED! SHE IS AN INNOCENT, SHE WAS SHELTERED FROM REAL WORLD FROM FAMILY, AND HUSBAND, THEN HE DIED, SO I IMAGINE SHE WAS LOST TO THE WORLD, A TARGET FOR EVIL PEOPLE! I PRAY SHES MATURED IN HER HARDSHIPS, A HARD WAY TO LEARN, A LIFES VALUED LESSONS, EVERYONE IS NOT GOOD , TRUSTING! PRAYING FOR HER, SO SAD! SMH! ONLY EVIL CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LESS FORTUNATE, WOMEN, PEOPLE, PERIOD! GOD 👀 SEES, I HOPE THEY ARE STOPPED!!
I guaranty you she still didn't learn her lesson!
Mid life crazies . I had mine for 10 years . Not on line but just making dumb decisions . Wrecked my 19 yr marriage 😢
I am an Australia 💁♀️🇦🇺 who tunes in from down under. This story is compelling to say the least and my heart pours tears for this Lady’s children. To find that behind the scenes is a Samaritan minister who reigns from here is stunning to say the least. His tenacity, honesty & God driven role to assist in this matter will be key to resolving the outcome. Thankyou for reporting on this fragile case, while building and armistice to cast light on internet scandals and life altering injustices. Blessings abound🙏☦️☮️
I'm very sorry for what happened to this lady. My heart goes out to her and her family.
I spent 1 year in Tai Lam center and 6 years in Lo Wu CI. Things were very bad when I got there in 2011. By the time I left in 2018, I've been through a lot, I've stood my ground on human rights to make things better for everyone, mostly for us Westerners. I was just one of two white Westerners. Prison in HK is not easy, you need to stand strong, there are many good prison guards.
The law of HK is very bad when ot come to DDT, Dangerous Drug Trafficking.
I'm really one of the very few people that ever won appeal against sentace.
I know father John, I've met him while I was there. He try to help some of the people.
Well I can tell by ur facecthatvur an ex junkie...it makes ur life so much harder
It takes a junkie to see another, and yes, I was using before. Been there done that.
I've been clean for over 13 years, and I don't look back on my life.
I look forward.
And just to inform you, you know nothing.
I'm a hustler 💯
I do what i need to do.
I have no fear only of my Creator.
Judge and you will be judged by Him.
Before starting, calling people names, think off YOUR own life, and then cast the first stone.
No one I've ever met used any kind of substance for NO reason. The devil is everywhere and deserves the vonorable.
I WAS broken and vonorable. Thanks to all I've been through in HK, IM A STONG WOMAN
your shallow words are nothing to me.
PS. get a life 😊
At least I have a face, a BEAUTIFUL FACE ❤❤❤
Thank you LORD
A suitcase full of presents and over 260 buttons attached to the clothes and a ticket to Hongkong from someone you never met. Yes. Thats totally insuspicious 😅.
Ya no alarm bells going off 😵💫. Sad cause she could have just found a guy from down the street who would gladly take her money . Keep it in her own country . 😂
Glad they didnt send her to Singapore. It will be a death penalty.
Never say never. I bet she is now looking again for her next love on a dating site.
What a nightmare poor lady ,and I feel sorry for the family
What a heartbreaking story
Everybody's responsible for their own life. I have no sympathy for people like this woman whom friend and family members warned her repeatedly.
God bless father John 🙏🏻 my god what a kind hearted human 🙏🏻❤
I don't have to worry about that happening to my mother. My mom is not stupid!
It’s not about being stupid it’s about someone trying to fill a void.
The amazing part of the story is the "victim" having such a smart best friend who repeatedly advises her and she repeatedly ignores her advice. In addition, her daughter is loyal and repeatedly rescues her. God protects fools and children.

Go to a very bad job then, did he.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
John Weatherspoon and his colleague Jane are such beautiful people. Even through the lens of a camera you can feel their generous and loving vibes 🥰
This is really sad. She doesn't deserve to be in jail and should have stopped when she learnt something wasn't right.
She deserves to be in jail as she was trafficking cocaine.
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Psilocybin is legal in some states and mushroom therapy is allowed in many states as a legitimate medical treatment. So I believe soon it'll be globally used as a treatment for anxiety, depression, and more.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in New Zealand. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He's 59 & has many mental health issues plus probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD knows if it is common for an obsession with violence.
She did not realize how vulnerable she was or that she put herself at risk without any type of common sense. In many ways she’s lucky to be alive and such a rude awakening. The fact that she survived this ordeal is a tribute to her strength and newly acquired life skills.
She’s blind
Her husband protected her from the world of good and evil she had no life experiences. This is one of the reasons why she is so gullible.
Seriously? A part of her brain doesn't work properly. It's eroded with thoughts of fantasy.
@@msdecemberloveangel8236I totally agree with you.
@@msdecemberloveangel8236True!
The frustration, and resentment that has been caused by my mother in law’s constant contact with the scammers has almost completely alienated her from the family. She wasn’t a great person to begin with so this behavior of hers with the scammer involvement has made it easier to not want anything to do with her.
Definitely dangerous . Especially when they run out of money and want to borrow to keep their addiction alive . Very sad
My hubby’s older brother got scammed. He borrowed from everyone and even wanted my hubby to take a loan out of their own mother’s home
