As a Retired combat Marine I want to tell you that the internet keeps records of your good works as what you are doing is just as important as any warrior on the battlefield. You are waging warfare against these criminals and terrorists on the digital battlefield. You are defending and protecting the most vulnerable of our society against these predators. Keep up the good work *Strongwidget*

[@kelvinfred9093]

I am from Korea and I love you for doing this *Strong widget* . These scammers are worse than insects, ruining most country's and city's name. I don't know how are they so proud of scamming people. I pray that anyone who reads this get a successful money recovery in life. Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle overtime

[@NatashaHeaton_dghklfx]

Thanks a lot for exposing these scumbag scammers who bring disrepute to my country that otherwise has talented and honest citizens. I hope we Americans can offer some form of amends on behalf of these shameless scammers. I wish our government became more serious and put the scammers behind bars. May the force be with you *STRONG WIDGET*

[@Wildivn]

The amount of bravery this took was INSANE. These people all had their lives in danger, but still decided to go through with the recovery for the sake of busting bad scammers. True respect *Strong widget!* If the FBI was half as dedicated and ingenious (and honest) as you guys are, the USA would be a much safer country. Amazing work!

[@christianpeters2417]

Hi *VortexTrace* , I am a 64 year old grandmother from the U.K.and thanks to you I have been made aware of these scammers. If I get a call now, I have a bit of fun before I let them know I'm on to them. Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention. What a star you’re.

[@ingridakerblom7577]

Just be careful. Never assume that you will know right away it's a scam.. They can also pretend to be your loved one in need of help by so called spoofing - where the scammers make it look like the call or a message comes from a known contact/person.. ALWAYS hang up & call the person, place orcompany they tell you that they are calling from! The scams evolve constantly. And often, when a scam is new, people will fall for it more because there isn't the same warnings out there to see! You can NEVER be too careful!!

[@indemand2]

Pig butchering example: You receive a text message from a wrong number. You reply - wrong number. They reply back something innocent. You reply with a lol. Next thing you know you’re texting each other, becomes friendly. They want to be friends. They take it to the next level. Before you know it - you’ve been pig butchered! Never reply “wrong number”. Don’t let them know it’s an active number. It can even be a seemingly innocent message… Hey I can’t make my doctors appointment. You’re a nice person so you reply Wrong Number. Or they send a text message that says - what time is the meeting? You’re a nice person and you wanna make sure other plans don’t get messed up so you reply wrong number. Wrong thing to do. Don’t be that nice guy. PT Barnum said it best.

[@akosua8779]

That wrong number text is so annoying. One time the scammer was pushing it after I said wrong number. Talking about wanting to buy me a coffee because they are so grateful I replied wrong number so they know they weren't texting their friend. I just replied stop texting me. Never heard from them again

This is been going on for a long time… I remember back in 2009 or 10 I met a Chinese lady online. On a dating site. I had never heard of “pig butchering“. She made me think she liked me… She sent me lots of photos of her fancy purses… Short videos of her driving her Porsche, etc. etc. Then she started talking to me about crypto. She desperately tried to get me to open an account so that she could “teach me” about crypto investing. Luckily, I immediately knew this was a scam. I strung her along for a little while, and just kept telling herthat I did not need more money. I was very well off, and I was not at all interested in crypto. She got kind of angry and just stopped talking to her.😂

😂 I do the same...toy with them awhile and piss them off

[@BEAUTYnIQ]

l did the same ! he kept wanting to "email" and "whatsapp" but k said l dont do that or it takes too long to type so l made him call me.. its costs them $$ to call (and he kept changing ph numbers lol) because he had to buy the phone time.. l led him on for a few months.. finally, he got mad and started yelling at me that l "had to listen to him" that he was "the man" and l, the woman, had to "obey".. l guess it was a last ditch effort, but l was weary of it so just yelled a bunch of stuff right back and told him ld been stringing him along the whole time.. you think it will feel good but it doesnt, just makes me feel dirty l was that close to a slimeball.. its like talking to a child molestor, l wouldnt want to hear their voice in my ear, even if it is over the phone, iceans away, just thinking of who they are and what they do makes me disgusted..

I had initially planned to retire at 62, work part-time, and save money, but the impact of high prices on various goods and services has significantly disrupted my retirement plan. I'm worried about whether those who experienced the 2008 financial crisis had it easier than I currently am.

People get wrapped up in this stuff because of social media. It’s why everyone thinks every OF model is making millions and everyone is getting rich off Crypto. And everyone telling them not to just have their money in a bank but they need to make their money work for them. You need to buy stocks, bonds and do this and that and before you know it you’re broke. Because you’re looking at the exceptions and trying to be the exception.

I had the same situation in 2022, that year was a hard year for me. I even hired a lawyer and no support they always took my money. I have finally healed from that. I have not gotten anything back, I did all I can. All I can do is move on sadly. You are not alone.

[@StefanieSiegl]

Have you tried reporting to the internet crime complaint center? If not, I can send all you need to do and have a chance of getting your money back

[@llllllllllilillii]

Announcing you're a scam victim on the internet is prob not the best thing to do. People need to stop oversharing online. You got scammed because you were greedy and you wanted more money because you're a slave to money. You are valuable without money.

[@Downey444]

How did it happen?

[@KatalinaWoo]

thx for making this video and for public awareness too..its super important for all to acknowledge and prevent the damages being done!! great work guys!!

[@flowmovementtherapy2096]

Some of them send obvious wrong number messages. But sometimes they get emotional when you don't reply. I had one once inviting me to go golfing on a specific date. I didn't reply. Then I get an angry message on that specific date asking why I didn't show up. Nope.

[@socialdetective9462]

These “victims of scam” are mostly motivated by greed and lust . They should be held accountable for the proliferation of scams due to their lack of due diligence and gross negligence

[@reeddeer793]

The guy was right - karma will come for him

[@OmniFilm-dk8ox]

yah right...that is why crime is not so rampant

[@bodazaphfa]

Karma is what we tell ourselves to make us feel better. It’s not a real thing.

[@kirtanforthesoul]

Everyone says karma

[@reeddeer793]

@@OmniFilm-dk8ox this is Canada so it’s less likely, but if you do that to the wrong person, they might dedicate their life to tracking u down and killing those you love lol

[@freshfalcon3996]

The scammers have no heart. The victims have no brains. It's a good match.

[@YSUPERJOSHhh]

[@GaryWard-se4wbgary]

This was legitimately so wholesome. You can tell at the ending of getting Your money back that it wasn't scripted at all when *Strongwidget* proposed.... This warmed my heart today! Congratulations Guys! So happy for y'all!…..

It's getting far worse than ever. I have known all these scamming games since 2010. Just a glance in a DM message from unknown, I would quickly know right away it's BS.
