CHECK OUT OUR NEWEST EPISODE: ua-cam.com/video/vK0KUVrw5Is/v-deo.html we help a man who believes he’s in contact with his celeb crush, actress Jennifer Aniston😳
I knew a relatively well kept 55 year old woman named Linda.. She was online dating. The minute they asked for money, her answer was: "Oh, Linda doesn't give men money. Men give Linda money." LOL 😅😅. End of scammer.
I notice that slippery slope of playing the victim. She states how HE is ruining her life, how HE is ruining her relationship with her family. No, doofus, YOU are the one ruining your life and making yourself the fool.
Absolutely. Until she accepts her part in this and addresses it, she will go back. I’m glad that she is paying her children back. Full restitution is a step forward for them all.
She also referred to herself as innocent at one point. Yes, ignoring the FBI and continuing to help a scammer screams innocence . Women like this are way too coddled their whole lives.
The moment the FBI became involved and she continued to communicate with this criminal, she stopped being an innocent victim and became an accomplice. Ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law.
Ignorance of laws has never stopped them from being imposed on us. If that were the case, we’d know of a handful of laws. From which we can only be arrested for? Laws don’t care whether you understand them or agree with them for them to be established and enforced. The myriad of universal laws are immutable therefore unavoidable as well. I agree. Once the feds were pulled in bc she took her mule/laundering money to the police, it was now under federal investigation. Yeah, time to stop a love relationship when international laws are being broken. Ones big enough to earn time away. To me, she lacked enough internet savvy to consider a scam was being perpetrated. Mostly bc of her advanced age. They can’t help it. My mom is close in age. Sometimes she needs help unfiguring out problems. Yeah, weird. Meaning I have to back a problem up several steps to see how/where it went buggy. She’s not an idiot. Just unfamiliar with technology and electronic devices. Luckily she’s not looking for love/companionship.
Sandra is just like my mother. She trusts complete strangers over her own children. If we tell her not to do something for safety reasons she'll immediately do it, because she assumes we don't know what we're talking about. Yet she'll blindly trust a total stranger. This is why my sister disowned her and I am low contact with her. Boomers and hypocrisy are synonymous.
@@WobblesandBeanI’m so sorry that your mother is like that! That can only be… way beyond frustrating. I’m imagining you trying to warn her time and time again … I’m glad that my mother listens to me about online scams and the like. Which in part she does because she’s not afraid or ashamed or too stubborn to admit that I’m simply more tech and internet savvy than she is.
@@WobblesandBean I'm sorry you have a 'mother' like that. Mine is all you just said plus a raging narcissist, so unfortunatly I comletely understand bc I went through it...
I saw a bunch that said they were psychologists. Then, one showed a 'degree' from the 'University of Phoenix'. One of those online college courses... I'm probably nuts, and if I told a real psychiatrist what's going on in my head, I'd probably go on a nice, long trip to a mental hospital. I mean vacation resort. Except with any of these people. I'd be normal by their standards.
Not everyone can provide an inheritance for their children, but at least we should all try to be financially independent so that they don't need to pay our bills. It's hard enough for young ppl to take care of themselves these days. Paying our rent so that we can keep our online fantasy going? Just selfish.
She stopped being a volunteer (someone who is unpaid for their services) when she started accepting money. That makes her a professional money launderer.
She’s delusional and needs to take $5 from her next SS check and buy herself a mirror, because she obviously doesn’t own a mirror. I swear, I’d be out hunting mud puddles to look in. She’s saying she needs to know. After 4 years and the FBi is going to send her to prison and of all the ludicrous statements, she says he’s not really her type. He’s not the good looking. She’s acting like he’s the bad person, but she’s a fool.

This is why my sister disowned her and I am low contact with her. She also refuses to accept culpability for ANYTHING. No matter what, she will deny ever doing anything wrong. Boomers and hypocrisy are synonymous.
@@WobblesandBeanI used to trick my mother into taking advice. She always thought I was a child, even in my late 30s. For some reason she trusted my sister fully. Any advice or suggestions she took from her. I would contact my sis, get her to contact our mom, tell her the exact thing I recommended to our mom yesterday, and bingo, done and done.
People who are so cold, ruthless and callous to say that a victim “deserves” to be victimized, are people who have suffered extensively all types of humiliations that have completely desensitized them.
Omg that’s kind of what bothered me the most out of this whole video!! Like we KNOW you think he’s attractive, he IS attractive. Admit that you’re shallow and that was a big part of her getting so hooked into this. If he was someone in her “league”, no WAY she would have gotten so mentally wrapped up in him to be committing crimes for him.
She actually begins her description of him with “he was average weight” after saying that he was not someone she would usually go for. I can’t believe what I am hearing.
I hate when someone says, "This can happen to anybody" NO, it can't! There are certain people this can happen to. These people are extremely naive, Extremely lonely and/or have a character flaw themself that lures them in. This could not happen to just anyone.
the initial attempt at getting a scam started can happen to anybody, I get those fake fb profile friend requests nearly every day. But of course going any further, only happens to those who ignore the red flags.
@@SueRosalie I agree. But they generally will say anyone can get scammed. To me, getting scammed is not merely someone trying to scam you, but succeeding.
You have to be gullible to think that a vital, good looking man would take an interest in an overweight, much older woman. I can’t believe they believe some guy saying that they are so beautiful when they definitely are not. I’m 67 and overweight and I was reasonably nice looking back in the day. My face is okay now but nobody tells me I’m beautiful. Look in the mirror ladies. 🥴
Oh my god, when she was describing that whole Apple computer/shipping nonsense, all I could think was, "this is the scammiest-sounding scam to have ever scammed."
@@m-o-lShe’s on Social Security which is peanuts in the US. She’s given him more than she had. They use the ones without money to launder the cash they get from other scams.
Being called 'baby boo' at 77... OMG I am embarrassed for her. Also, when they are explaining to her she has a vacannt look in her eyes. You can tell that she does NOT 'get it'. She absolutely will go back. If not to him then someone else.
There comes a point in some of these stories where the person goes from an unknowing victim, to an active willing accomplice purposely ignoring the red flags and helping a criminal.
"Hello beautiful, did you eat today? I am stuck on this oil rig but keep an eye out for a box filled with cash and cell phones that will be mailed to you..."
lol, know your s@xual market value; if you're a toothless old termite riddled shack and a mansion with marble columns wants to be with you, granny, its a scam
It’s interesting how many women (and men) put even the possibility of a romantic love interest over their concern for their own children and grandchildren.
Agreed. They didn’t make it entirely clear to her. They should’ve said clearly “Someone stole this man’s photos, and is pretending to be him. You are not talking to this man, but a mystery man/woman who was impersonating this innocent doctor.”
@@celestialknight2339This has been a consistent issue in many of their videos. Recently they’ve gotten better at being clear about it, but with these victims it has to be spelled out as simply as Sesame Street!
It seems to be a problem in many of their videos. I don't know why they have such problem to say it clearly and not in a way the scammed people keep an impression they are talking with someone real who just looks different than the photo or that the person on the photo is scammer. It sometimes feels that's exactly what the scammed people end up thinking.
She refers to it as a “habit” which, in her case, filled a need or lack in her part. Let’s remember, she married multiple times, and that’s significant. But I don’t equate mental illness with stupidity, and the primary “diagnosis” imo is stupidity.
@@lynnparrish1335 Stupidity means something like she's unintelligent, not that she repeatedly makes the same mistakes. "Stupidity" is way too broad, she's making these mistakes for underlying reasons of personal need for validation, it's not "stupidity".
“Stupidly”is the preferred choice.😂 But isn’t it interesting how she makes sure to frame herself as an innocent victim instead of taking full accountability. Most of these people are narcissistic and manipulative.
If you have an elderly parent or grandparent who refuses to believe that the person they’re talking to is a scammer, and they’re giving them money, talk to an attorney about taking conservatorship of the person. That person will be angry, but they will thank you later.
Even if they’re angry and NEVER thank you later, YOU’LL still thank yourself. Because they’ll be angry anyway as soon as you tell them they’re being scammed. Better they’re angry and still have money at least.
Ma'am, please throw your money at a dentist, a hair stylist, and a good therapist! There aren't too many men out there who would jump at the chance of kissing that mouth!
They might cut their tongues on the snaggleteeth. I mean, really, she spent all that time laundering money, sending computers, etc., when she could have gone to a dentist.
Yeah, that's the saddest part. But in the US, dental care is insane and there is literally no help for it. She's also super old, and it seems she devoted herself to raising stable children, despite her own problems. I feel bad for her ngl.
I don't understand with all the information about romance scams out there, why are people falling for them so easily. The First thing they need to do is an image reach. These criminals are laughing all the way to the bank with victim's money 😔
@@fatuusdottoreno dental care is not insane. What’s insane is the amount of people who don’t know how to do basic maintenance for their teeth. This looks like a lifetime of bad oral hygiene on her part.
in truth they're 20 year old Nigerians living in homely shacks, sitting around in their underpants and smoking. Same with the computer scammers in India.
They are all idiots; so many of them have kids and grandkids that could use the money they're sending to these scam artists so they can keep their stupid little phony romance dramas going.
She says she doesn't have anyone....except three children AND three grandchildren. Holy 💩. That's a BOUNTIFUL BLESSING! Too bad she didn't appreciate the family she already had.
I assume she means friends or a partner. Children can't and shouldn't be giving you every spare moment. They have lives and jobs. It's more to do with the inability to be happy whilst alone and be alone without being lonely. In other words, a happy life without a partner.
@@ChrisAndCats, you don't need to have a romantic partner to have a full life. Love is love. Feeling incomplete unless you're in a romantic relationship sounds pretty codependent to me.
@AFAskygoddess I agree completely. I've been single through choice since 2014, after a 14yr relationship ended but have work, interesting hobbies and close friends, so don't feel lonely when I'm alone. I don't have the need or inclination to find another partner just to fill a gap. If one came along, so be it but I'm not desperately searching as seems to be the case a lot of times in these videos. I think that's the issue in a lot of these cases though, the people don't have enough going on in their lives to keep them occupied and content.
This is almost as bad as the one who was emotionally cheating on her husband who ended up divorcing her. You guys are extremely patient since even her children disowned her
@@Pureimagination200Well I keep getting contacted with the same story. Military officer, widow, one child, in the Middle East . I never get any further as I lose patience.
This woman is so focused on what she doesn’t have - aka a man - that she doesn’t focus on what she has - health and a loving family. She is blessed and doesn’t even know it.
A woman always wants a man for security and provision because they are wired that way. So she is missing something very important and that's why the scam worked on her.
@@matchhunter7012 i am a woman. Was divorced when I was 26 and never remarried or lived with anyone. I got qualifications, worked hard and looked after myself.
@@matchhunter7012 Not always wired that way. That is too much of a generalization. I'm in my '60s, lost my husband of decades to cancer. I am loving the freedom to do what I want, enjoy my grandkids and family and stay very busy/volunteer/pursue interests.I cannot imagine having time to let a guy into my life to change things. No matter the benefit. Not worth it.
I have such a hard time wrapping my head around someone who ignores that the man is younger, good looking, rich and accomplished. Then ignores that she is not. Then ignores that the "love" comes too fast and without even meeting. Then ignores the requests for money. Then ignores the additional requests for more money. Then ignores the fact that they never show up in person. Then ignores their family's advice. Then ignores their bank's advice. Then ignores the FBI's advice. How did these people get to this age with little or no intuition and/or or common sense??
You forgot several iterations of “and then asks for money” but yeah, other than that spot on! Everyone in her life was trying to help her but she shrugged off all of them. Frustrating!
People have to be realistic. A younger, seemingly well put together man is not pursuing a genuine internet relationship with a 77 year old woman with no teeth or social credit.
@@cheapcraftygirlsweepstakes2338 Evil is mad up to make ourselves feel better. Conartists are able to make a mark out of anyone. It just makes you feel better to label this woman as evil and lable yourself as good. You have to do this to sleep at night. It's a survival mechanism but it's just not true. When I hear people blame religion or good and evil for works of man, all I see and hear is weakness. And that weakness, will enable these scams to continue.
If she'd spent some of her money on a dentist instead of a scammer, and got a decent haircut, she'd likely attract a nice man from her local neighbourhood. One that her family would be happy for her to have.
I don’t think she really even comprehends that the man in the picture is not the scammer and has nothing to do with it! She’s the type who will fall right back into another scam right after this.
@@Maki-00 ikr this happens every time. I don't understand why the Catfished team don't do enough to make it clear to the victims right from the outside, that these handsome profile pics are NOT the person they have been communicating with, and that person is a black Nigerian guy or team of guys in Lagos. And they keep referring to the scammer as "Michael" or whatever, continuing to feed the delusion. In fact why don't they get a picture of one of them and show it to the victims right from the start. There are pictures available, some of these scammers do get arrested and convicted. ua-cam.com/video/iVHLiVT4eeM/v-deo.html
@@SueRosalie In a couple of cases, the catfished team was able to get the person who had their pictures stolen to tell the "victim" that they were not talking to them. I think it was the Barry Gibb lady (or another one), who STILL did not get it, and thought that Barry Gibb (or whoever it was) had to lie on camera. Some people are...sad to say it...hopelessly stupid.
It's hard to believe there are still people out there falling for these ultra transparent scams. It's either rampant narcissism on the part of the "victims" or they've been living under a rock for the last decade or so. SMH
@@Black_Samurai-fish Lonely? She has 3 children and 3 grandchildren. She's just looking to 'win the Lotto' with a scammer. I'm not buying the 'lonely' excuse. There's a certain element but she's unbearably delusional.
These people kill me. They are skipping their rent, mortgage, dental care, and life necessities to an obvious people who never be ascetically attracted to them and contacting Catfished for help.
And whats worse, he was sending her actual products to essentially launder for money, so if anything she should've been getting a cut of that, but she was just doing it for free! Not only is she bad at relationships, she's a terrible criminal too! XD
Being called stupid doesn't make anyone feel better or help them make better decisions. At least this woman didn't sit there talking all about how smart and desirable she is.
@@everyonelovesmajimashe knew the other men she talked to in the past were scammers and stopped talking with them, so deep down she knows and don’t care, she just wants to be wanted.
The way she made it a point many times to mention that the guy in the pictures the scammer used is just "okay", "not my type" and "got better looking" is very telling. She has a high level of self importance. She must think she looks like Rita Moreno.
My mom has been widowed for many years. She works out, keeps her house spotless and spends her money on her grandson and church. It makes me so much less sympathetic to these women. Yet I can’t look away…
What I think too & I bet you 100% Why would social catfish be able to get through to her. When The Police, FBI, Banks & her family told her. She is going to continue Just Like Old Jodi & others would.
This is what we call “A Lost Cause” She will never see what this scammer has done to her life until she’s got nothing left and is sent to prison. Wait, what am I saying, she’ll probably find a way to send him money FROM prison. 🤦🏻♀️
I have been contacted several times by scammers. I start to engage in a conversation, and allow them to use their "art" for a while. Then I ask if I can confide in them, and give them a ridiculous sob story and ask them for money. It is always funny and satisfying watch them just disappear into the sunset after that:))))
No man is worth having if he wants you as an older woman on social security to fund is travel, life or phone bill. This woman absolutely knew getting a shipment of brand-new computers, phones and money was not legal. She should be punished by the authorities. She is not innocent.
I hate to say it but she should be banned from being online entirely. She’s obviously not competent to take precautions at ALL. She didn’t get scared and stop with the FBI telling her… nothing but a prison cell will stop her. I hope her kids put her under a conservatorship. If they talk to her again. Thank you for looking out for so many. This is insanity.
Except she knocked back the straight scammers who just asked her for money. She just worked with this guy accepting the computers because she expected a cut. This isn’t some totally naive elderly woman, she obviously believes some of his lies but she could also pick a scammer. She is deliberately involved in money laundering
There's a reason scammers ask how many times your married/divorced. You can be mistaking in your spouse once, heck maybe twice. But 3 times, means you're an easy target.
Just because we get older doesn't mean we're dead. We have needs just like any other human being.... And kids, grandkids and baking cookies just doesn't cut it
Easier said than done. My best friends mom is wrapped up in thinking she’s dating Jeremy Renner. Still to this day. Been 2 years and @socialcatfish tried very hard to get her the help and answers she needed but she won’t do it. Now she’s living in her car with no husband and no kids and no grandchildren now. All she says is we will be sorry when they get married and we aren’t invited to her wedding. Delusional and an addiction is what she is and has. I miss my friend for sure. She was so wonderful till this guy.
How could she possibly think that someone who looks like him would fall for her? It's amazing how some people have an inability to honestly assess themselves.
No one wants to tell themselves "I'm ugly", especially in a society so obsessed with beauty and dismissive or mean to people who don't meet those standards. It's a hard thing to face, especially because being beautiful or not is not a choice, either you have good genes or not...
@@EmmA-ln9heI've thought I was ugly since age 12. When people give me compliments, the voice in my head quickly says oh they're just being nice. I know it's all in my mind, but I avoid looking in mirrors or I start to pick apart everything about my face and body.
She thinks $5K is going to buy a house in California? That wouldn’t even be enough for a down payment on a house in Tumbleweed, Arkansas. That should have been enough to tell her that this is not someone from America, or from the West at all. 🙄
This is why I'm glad my mom isn't on the internet. And when my dad reaches a certain age me and/or my brother may have to take his internet away if God forbid he gets sucked into a scam
It is funny she said she was being "USED"! Nothing is further from the truth! She willingly paid for the fantasy boyfriend experience! She ignored multiple red flags and believed ridiculous stories and excuses. She got what she paid for and has nobody to blame for the consequences but herself!
People who are naïve are not breaching the law. People are not required to be savvy and to have a criminal mind capable to detect any scam. Naïve people are perfectly in their right. Only scammers breach the law and are therefore despicable.
I’m sorry but if you don’t listen to the FBI then you deserve to get in hot water legally. This woman definitely needs someone to have power of attorney over her or something.
@@hellooutthere8956Yes it’s a potential risk that a conservator etc could rip you off too, but she is already being ripped off. Having someone else controlling her finances would almost certainly be better, and if it went wrong at least it could not be worse than what happened already.
These people need to ask themselves, do good looking and/or successful people approach you with romantic intentions in person? No? Then online people doing it is a scam!!
Why are women so horrified at the thought of being alone? Every time I’ve been single and lived alone I really enjoyed it. Join a club, do volunteer work, make online friends (JUST friends, not scammy lovers). I had a dog and she was my best friend, I hardly ever felt lonely. There’s a whole world out there that doesn’t revolve around men.
This. Or leaving someone who scams you. I dated someone who asked for money and stole from me so I left, it was a person I actually knew irl not just online. I was single for 7 years and then met my husband, him I could always trust which is propably why we've been married for a long time, even when I got really sick I could still count on him(which is alot to ask from anyone, it's not easy living with someone who gets sicker and sicker).
Being alone and being lonely are two different things. If she is lonely she needs to go out and meet people. Talking to a guy on the ‘phone is hardly a relationship.
What I don’t understand is how she says she KNOWS this is a scam and that she KNOWS she’s being taken advantage of, but yet it has taken her YEARS to stop - and who even knows if she will stop. Addiction is a curse, but choosing to launder money over keeping your family together is insane. That’s a choice.
I am tired of this foolishness. Everyone knows this is not a relationship they are in. This is a Crime game. Look at that woman’s mouth, she needed help herself and she is helping him. 😤
When she said "I didn't have anyone in my life but my kids"!!! Omg she has no clue what a treasure your children and grandchildren are!! I've been told I'm an attractive woman in her 50s. I want to stay single for my kids and grandkids so I can spend all my time with them. They are my light in this cold hard world. I would never send someone I never met in real life money!!! For one thing that would be taking away from my kids and grandkids, nope no way, my kids and grandkids always, always will be first in my life!!
Too much empahsis is still placed on the victim whose pictures have been stonlen. I'ts beside the point whether he is Turkish, a doctor, or whatever. Hwis pictures have beeen stolen. Instead, we need to see footaage of how the Nigerian scammers party after making a big kill, sit on floors in crowded rooms with laptops and work in shifts with scripts.
Good for her. She finally found a man who likes an old woman with missing teeth. When she says that she cannot afford dentistry then no one should feel sorry for her. She blames HIM for causing trouble between her and her children. She did this. If a man that is way out of my league ever tells me that I am "so beautiful" then I am going to block him and ignore him.
It sucks to lose your looks. Trying to hold on to it by spending money on yourself is one thing-- dentist visits, hair care, skin care is a good idea. How about a face lift? But throwing money away so someone you don't know will compliment you is insane.
@@StrangeFacinations Yes. I am 65 years old and have invested in myself to make myself look as good as I can for my age. But I also know that most men near my age only want someone who is under 45 years of age. That is their fantasy. I may have a shot at someone in his late 70s and beyond but I am not interested in becoming someone's nurse, purse, or housekeeper.
Age doesn’t matter: I know a very good looking lawyer who was catfished by a 60 yr old unattractive, completely flat, former “professional” parepatetician with schizophrenia due to the extensive sexual experience she acquired with her dad. He is still with her.
I'm 76 years old and even I don't believe this nonsense. She needs to take a look at these videos with clear eyes. No teeth and a turkey neck. @@PaintingandExercise
Here in South Africa, there is a grandma who gave scammers 41 million (South African rands, not sure what it is in USD) in 5 weeks..anyway even the police were shocked the investigator had tears in his eyes knowing grandma would never see her money again ...these grandmas need to join senior citizens bingo club
That's crazy. We all going to be older someday. The word retired is what start it. A life long partner dies and all the sudden they're in a new age dating world. A person doesn't even have to kiss hug a person and do some really evil stuff to them. Activities are not always available a person got to try to reprogram that 8 to ten hours they use to work. Grandparents usually are willing to look after little ones because it gives them purpose but if you can join a bowling team or a book club or just spend a hour or two at the local park it can help
Man, my 69 year old mother just posted on Facebook about a guy posing as a General trying to hook-up with her. My mom is not single but loves attention. However, she was able to see through the scammers bs. She even filed a complaint on Facebook about the phony account but Facebook failed to take action against it. So, she just had to block it. I'm glad my mother is smart enough to know that a little due diligence is better than flattery.
If my mother had not passed away 15 years ago, she would have fallen for a scam like this. She loved attention and had a good amount of money. You’re lucky your mother saw through this scam and reported it. Although Facebook thinks more about money than their subscribers.
I can’t believe these people are that stupid ! I have been divorced 23 years and I sure do not need a man in my life and for real no man I can’t see or touch 😂
Drew made such a good point. I mean obviously this person is not real, but why does it matter? Either way they are stealing from you and could potentially put you in prison.
@@frofrofrofro900 And this # ut case is looking to start a new life with a boy from Nigeria thinking the boy is really the doctor that had His pictures stolen.
I love how these jacked up people are always like "yeaaaah they aren't really my type, but after talkin to them for a while they grew on me" when asked about what they liked about their "partner" when its always pics of like, this adonis level model, or gorgeous doctor or just generally super attractive human. Lol, they love that someone who is waaaaaay out of their league showed interest in then.

Evicted from her home, FBI on her case, lost bank accounts, family breakdown. This woman is beyond help.
I agree!
Well said.

It's getting on my nerves.....
Well said! I was getting annoyed with how cocky she was being.
Not even a little bit. She is nowhere near as delightful as she thinks she is.
Nor her looks 🤦🏻♀️
I can't stand most of these so called victims. This one is REALLY grating on my nerves! I detest her.

She also referred to herself as innocent at one point. Yes, ignoring the FBI and continuing to help a scammer screams innocence . Women like this are way too coddled their whole lives.
Yea, people in these relationships are like gamblers, they don't see they're throwing money away, they see it as an investment for the future.
Narcissistic drama
The drama gives her supply
Positive or Negative
You see the projection!
The moment the FBI became involved and she continued to communicate with this criminal, she stopped being an innocent victim and became an accomplice. Ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law.

I saw a bunch that said they were psychologists. Then, one showed a 'degree' from the 'University of Phoenix'. One of those online college courses...

I'd be normal by their standards.
Not everyone can provide an inheritance for their children, but at least we should all try to be financially independent so that they don't need to pay our bills. It's hard enough for young ppl to take care of themselves these days. Paying our rent so that we can keep our online fantasy going? Just selfish.

She’s not a victim, rather she’s a volunteer.
Sandra's comment is the most correct one here.
enabler
She stopped being a volunteer (someone who is unpaid for their services) when she started accepting money. That makes her a professional money launderer.
She’s delusional and needs to take $5 from her next SS check and buy herself a mirror, because she obviously doesn’t own a mirror. I swear, I’d be out hunting mud puddles to look in. She’s saying she needs to know. After 4 years and the FBi is going to send her to prison and of all the ludicrous statements, she says he’s not really her type. He’s not the good looking.

My children and grandchildren are my life plus other family members and some trusted friends. Get out, volunteer, learn something new.
I'm not convinced that she understood that the man in the photos is not the person scamming her.

Obsession with being desirable to others leads to mental illness and falling for scams like this.
It can also be the other way around, certain kinds of mental illness can make you a perfect scam victim.
She refers to it as a “habit” which, in her case, filled a need or lack in her part.
Let’s remember, she married multiple times, and that’s significant.
But I don’t equate mental illness with stupidity, and the primary “diagnosis” imo is stupidity.

I hate to say it but she should be banned from being online entirely. She’s obviously not competent to take precautions at ALL. She didn’t get scared and stop with the FBI telling her… nothing but a prison cell will stop her. I hope her kids put her under a conservatorship. If they talk to her again.
Thank you for looking out for so many. This is insanity.
You said it best 😂
Except she knocked back the straight scammers who just asked her for money. She just worked with this guy accepting the computers because she expected a cut. This isn’t some totally naive elderly woman, she obviously believes some of his lies but she could also pick a scammer. She is deliberately involved in money laundering
What makes it even more crazier was that she didn't keep the $5000 for herself 😂
You're sending him your rent money for nothing in return and still wondering if he's real. Some ppl need to be in a adult day care.
Absolutely!
There's a reason scammers ask how many times your married/divorced. You can be mistaking in your spouse once, heck maybe twice. But 3 times, means you're an easy target.
Yes
Loser. 😢
To the people saying she is lonely, she has sons, daughters and grandchildren. She should make her life around them.
There's hospitals, the VFW, the library
Just because we get older doesn't mean we're dead. We have needs just like any other human being.... And kids, grandkids and baking cookies just doesn't cut it
@@Mhel2023 Well join a club. My friend likes a drink and could go to a different one each day. I am older and prefer to spend time with my dogs.
@@Mhel2023Serving your flesh is exactly why people get used and broken.
Easier said than done. My best friends mom is wrapped up in thinking she’s dating Jeremy Renner. Still to this day. Been 2 years and @socialcatfish tried very hard to get her the help and answers she needed but she won’t do it. Now she’s living in her car with no husband and no kids and no grandchildren now. All she says is we will be sorry when they get married and we aren’t invited to her wedding. Delusional and an addiction is what she is and has. I miss my friend for sure. She was so wonderful till this guy.
How could she possibly think that someone who looks like him would fall for her? It's amazing how some people have an inability to honestly assess themselves.
No one wants to tell themselves "I'm ugly", especially in a society so obsessed with beauty and dismissive or mean to people who don't meet those standards.
It's a hard thing to face, especially because being beautiful or not is not a choice, either you have good genes or not...
@@EmmA-ln9heI've thought I was ugly since age 12. When people give me compliments, the voice in my head quickly says oh they're just being nice. I know it's all in my mind, but I avoid looking in mirrors or I start to pick apart everything about my face and body.
I mean it could happen. Look at Summit and Jenny, from 90 day fiance.
She looks fine.
@@EmmA-ln9heshe’s not ugly -she’s just old and needs a dentist. A few years ago she looked decent.
When she says, "that got me into a lot of trouble," she actually looks thrilled. These 'victims,' feed off drama.
She thinks $5K is going to buy a house in California? That wouldn’t even be enough for a down payment on a house in Tumbleweed, Arkansas. That should have been enough to tell her that this is not someone from America, or from the West at all. 🙄
Good grief! Retired and lots of free time to do what? Sit an talk to a Nigerian scammer. What a total waste of retirement. Just sickening.
This is why I'm glad my mom isn't on the internet. And when my dad reaches a certain age me and/or my brother may have to take his internet away if God forbid he gets sucked into a scam
Im so busy retired I cant even volunteer at the Sr Center yet!
Zero sympathy for this woman.
It is funny she said she was being "USED"!
Nothing is further from the truth!
She willingly paid for the fantasy boyfriend experience!
She ignored multiple red flags and believed ridiculous stories and excuses.
She got what she paid for and has nobody to blame for the consequences but herself!
yep
Don't forget that she was complicit in stealing money from other people and laundering the proceeds.
I’m sick listening to her, her actions are sickening and she should be held responsible for any harm done
That's for sure ... !!
People who are naïve are not breaching the law. People are not required to be savvy and to have a criminal mind capable to detect any scam. Naïve people are perfectly in their right. Only scammers breach the law and are therefore despicable.
I don't blame her kids for disowning her.
I’m sorry but if you don’t listen to the FBI then you deserve to get in hot water legally. This woman definitely needs someone to have power of attorney over her or something.
I couldn't agree more 👍👍
Nobody "deserves" this but yes they do need poa but you know wht? Those ppl will rob you blind too.
@@hellooutthere8956Yes it’s a potential risk that a conservator etc could rip you off too, but she is already being ripped off. Having someone else controlling her finances would almost certainly be better, and if it went wrong at least it could not be worse than what happened already.
These people need to ask themselves, do good looking and/or successful people approach you with romantic intentions in person?
No?
Then online people doing it is a scam!!
Amen, well said! That's just plain ol' COMMON SENSE!!!!!!!!!
Yeh, it's rediculous.,.
Why are women so horrified at the thought of being alone? Every time I’ve been single and lived alone I really enjoyed it. Join a club, do volunteer work, make online friends (JUST friends, not scammy lovers). I had a dog and she was my best friend, I hardly ever felt lonely.
There’s a whole world out there that doesn’t revolve around men.
It's ego: "I'm far too gorgeous to be seen without a man!"
I don’t mind becoming a crazy cat lady, even if they eat my remains.
I know right..im so happy being alone with my 2 dogs..get to see my grandkids and I still work at 60
This. Or leaving someone who scams you. I dated someone who asked for money and stole from me so I left, it was a person I actually knew irl not just online. I was single for 7 years and then met my husband, him I could always trust which is propably why we've been married for a long time, even when I got really sick I could still count on him(which is alot to ask from anyone, it's not easy living with someone who gets sicker and sicker).
Being alone and being lonely are two different things. If she is lonely she needs to go out and meet people. Talking to a guy on the ‘phone is hardly a relationship.
I’m the same age as this lady. At 77 she shouldn’t need to find a job to support her fantasy life.
What I don’t understand is how she says she KNOWS this is a scam and that she KNOWS she’s being taken advantage of, but yet it has taken her YEARS to stop - and who even knows if she will stop. Addiction is a curse, but choosing to launder money over keeping your family together is insane. That’s a choice.
I am tired of this foolishness. Everyone knows this is not a relationship they are in. This is a Crime game. Look at that woman’s mouth, she needed help herself and she is helping him. 😤
honestly some of them will only stop when they are in prison
When she said "I didn't have anyone in my life but my kids"!!! Omg she has no clue what a treasure your children and grandchildren are!! I've been told I'm an attractive woman in her 50s. I want to stay single for my kids and grandkids so I can spend all my time with them. They are my light in this cold hard world. I would never send someone I never met in real life money!!! For one thing that would be taking away from my kids and grandkids, nope no way, my kids and grandkids always, always will be first in my life!!
Imagine being one of her children and seeing this and hearing her say she has no one in her life except for her children that would break my heart
The moment someone ask you for money hit "blocked".
I get the impression that she thinks the doctor is scamming her
That’s just it, I don’t think these people get that the person on the photo has nothing to do with anything.
Yes she's that dumb
I wish the team had located the scammer so she would know it is not the doctor that is scamming her
Too much empahsis is still placed on the victim whose pictures have been stonlen. I'ts beside the point whether he is Turkish, a doctor, or whatever. Hwis pictures have beeen stolen. Instead, we need to see footaage of how the Nigerian scammers party after making a big kill, sit on floors in crowded rooms with laptops and work in shifts with scripts.
@@junemarshall-kingsley566so true!!
Good for her. She finally found a man who likes an old woman with missing teeth. When she says that she cannot afford dentistry then no one should feel sorry for her. She blames HIM for causing trouble between her and her children. She did this. If a man that is way out of my league ever tells me that I am "so beautiful" then I am going to block him and ignore him.
It sucks to lose your looks. Trying to hold on to it by spending money on yourself is one thing-- dentist visits, hair care, skin care is a good idea. How about a face lift? But throwing money away so someone you don't know will compliment you is insane.
Same. That’s last sentence u said. I said so much. lol.
@@StrangeFacinations Yes. I am 65 years old and have invested in myself to make myself look as good as I can for my age. But I also know that most men near my age only want someone who is under 45 years of age. That is their fantasy. I may have a shot at someone in his late 70s and beyond but I am not interested in becoming someone's nurse, purse, or housekeeper.
Age doesn’t matter: I know a very good looking lawyer who was catfished by a 60 yr old unattractive, completely flat, former “professional” parepatetician with schizophrenia due to the extensive sexual experience she acquired with her dad. He is still with her.
I'm 76 years old and even I don't believe this nonsense. She needs to take a look at these videos with clear eyes. No teeth and a turkey neck. @@PaintingandExercise
Here in South Africa, there is a grandma who gave scammers 41 million (South African rands, not sure what it is in USD) in 5 weeks..anyway even the police were shocked the investigator had tears in his eyes knowing grandma would never see her money again ...these grandmas need to join senior citizens bingo club
A little over $2,183,000.00 US
@@williamegler8771omg!!! 😱😱😱
That's crazy. We all going to be older someday. The word retired is what start it. A life long partner dies and all the sudden they're in a new age dating world. A person doesn't even have to kiss hug a person and do some really evil stuff to them. Activities are not always available a person got to try to reprogram that 8 to ten hours they use to work. Grandparents usually are willing to look after little ones because it gives them purpose but if you can join a bowling team or a book club or just spend a hour or two at the local park it can help
In a perfect world, the scammers wouldn't be lying thieves who ruin others' lives while they flash their wealth on Facebook.
@@williamegler8771Holy smokes!
Man, my 69 year old mother just posted on Facebook about a guy posing as a General trying to hook-up with her. My mom is not single but loves attention. However, she was able to see through the scammers bs. She even filed a complaint on Facebook about the phony account but Facebook failed to take action against it. So, she just had to block it. I'm glad my mother is smart enough to know that a little due diligence is better than flattery.
If my mother had not passed away 15 years ago, she would have fallen for a scam like this. She loved attention and had a good amount of money. You’re lucky your mother saw through this scam and reported it. Although Facebook thinks more about money than their subscribers.
@@terryKessler42719 sorry for your loss. Heaven holds the faithful departed!
I got a General too. It better not be my guy 😂
"Innocently gave him all my personal banking info. " got me
Who else thinks she will still send him money?
I THINK SHE IS.
No doubt in my mind. She's talking to him right this moment.

I can’t believe these people are that stupid ! I have been divorced 23 years and I sure do not need a man in my life and for real no man I can’t see or touch 😂
Too bad she didn't use her money for dental care....jeeze Louise!!
Drew made such a good point. I mean obviously this person is not real, but why does it matter? Either way they are stealing from you and could potentially put you in prison.
She thinks he's real but has a nother name. I dob't think she made the connection that these were stolen pictures.
It still baffles me that people willing give their bank info to a complete stranger like it's nothing
Plus give personal Social Insurance Number. That is crazy. I was brought up you never give that number to a stranger.
Age. Few of us will be live 70 years
@@frofrofrofro900 And this # ut case is looking to start a new life with a boy from Nigeria thinking the boy is really the doctor that had His pictures stolen.
I love how these jacked up people are always like "yeaaaah they aren't really my type, but after talkin to them for a while they grew on me" when asked about what they liked about their "partner" when its always pics of like, this adonis level model, or gorgeous doctor or just generally super attractive human.
