The thing that loneliness can make people (even a senior accountant) do. This lady was a millionaire! What about the people in that office? They must be part of it.

[@grant7345]

sorry, but this story is not believable, too many actors involved

[@egg4792]

I feel sorry for this lady. When she found out it was a scam she was so scared and angry because they cheated all of her savings.

[@1ceb3rg__]

Honestly i feel like she stressed herself out

[@user-ti5um5ek1t]

Scam can only work when people are desperate or greedy.

Also work on stupid people

[@marxseet]

@@Tony.L9793 i would not say that in absolute term but when a person is greedy or desperate, you cant see what is pretty obvious (from a 3rd person perspective) because your mind is occupied with "what you desperately want".

@@marxseet thats why they didnt think of consequences before they act

[@jackcold2541]

@@marxseet so, a not stupid person would think police ask for money transfer ? Living in both country before, never had cops asking money on phone. In fact they admit such attempt is a scam, you pay fine or other payment in police station. No where else, any person who pay for charges on phone is just stupid.

[@manithangavalu7885]

There's a difference between educated people and ANG MOH lovers. When they come across ANG MOH they think they are DIVINE.

[@BezzamyRobloxuser]

LOL SORE LOSER BN🤣🤡

[@killerdiva7771]

The first thing that should have set of suspicion is when mark fengler asked to have his flight and hotel room paid. If he really is kenneth’s friend, shouldnt he be willing to come by himself knowing that kenneth would pay him back after he was released

[@ingenuity168]

Giving away money for a guy she never met, travelling out of country all alone! Too brave for her own good.

[@sihanchen7552]

That is why shes a senior accountant. Gave all for her career but never learn how to secure a man. Now shes passed the wall, shes getting desperate, and some ang moh rod comes along, she thinks thats her golden chance, which is why her desperation made her vulnerable to these scams. Serves her right.

[@brendan1470]

There's a saying that Love is blind if two lovers don't meet face to face

[@peerdous6598]

l feel sorry for this lady. When the guy whom you have never met asked for money, block him. However, if you are so uncertain and uncomfortable, talk to a close friend whom you can trust to give advice .

[@egg4792]

yea

[@jackcold2541]

If that friend equally dumb then no use, ask family and cops. Didn't you realise, it was her friends who invited her in that shady app. Had she not, this might never happened.

[@kimchiba4570]

I am so glad she got scammed

[@stephenraj4283]

Damn this lady seriously got fooled big time. She must have been a good wife if she had a husband to the extent she went for a stranger that she didnt know. Damn this is sad.

[@benjerryhaagendaz]

Would be a good wife for the right person. But still really dumb for simping for “classy” amdk on fake tinder profile. Feels bad man.

[@claudiaarmah2389]

This woman is very stupid. I mean all for the sake of wanting to be in a relationship with a man. Of all men out there she chooses "Caucasian English-speaking intelligent men" believing that they are smart, true and reliable. When these "white men" ask for money, a gullible Asian woman like this will all the more give their time and money just to please the "white men". Plus, that friend who recommended her the dating app was really irresponsible. Look, I understand that dating apps were created for a reason so that people can have find a guide how to search for the right partner themselves. However, honestly these dating apps are just like any social media app where people fake their identities and personal details. So what the heck are these dating apps for when people are going to be duped? It takes time to find the right partner. She's just got to be patient and see through things from a realistic perspective. Just because you are divorce that doesn't mean you can't move on and be happy without a partner.

[@1ceb3rg__]

Yeah, I imagine she's a really passionate person for people she cares about but honestly it was such a no-brainer of her. It seems like she put the responsibility of "Kenneth" over her own job and savings. She seemed so tired and stressed over a man. She honestly really should have realized that this was fishy and over the top. Kinda embarrassing though, I can't imagine how embarrassing she must've felt being fooled and dropped.

[@VARJAGAMINGENTERTAINMENT]

I can't believed something like that happens. Truly saddens me.

[@annlove4879]

She ask for it

[@jasminechia85]

For someone that's is educated as the victim, it's kind of silly to get scam like that.. Shouldn't she get the police involved if her lover is really been detained oversea. When they ask for money the first time, it should raise red flag already.

[@robinn9951]

how naive to think educated people can't be fooled. uneducated people might be ignorant but they are not stupid. its obvious that they had other arrangements, which she conveniently left out/ or they edited out to make this show more pc. looks like money didn't buy happiness in this poor woman's case. do you know if she managed to recover any of her money?

[@acps6430]

They brought her round the world like a dummy ... worst than a kid..at her age with an accountant status , I am surprise she fell for it🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@sihanchen7552]

@@acps6430 Because she is very desperate for that ang moh rod. It is precisely because of her age that she fell for this. Because she has not secured a man even when she has hit the wall. Her desperation is what caused her downfall.

[@kimmy7722]

Be careful who you trust online.

[@brandonnnnnnnxx]

a guy that loves u wouldn't cheat your money. that's one obvious sign. and I believe it's a whole team behind this scam. Not just the guy alone. Bad karma, dude.

[@helldeirch]

that is one crazy elaborate scam, it's like that movie "the game"

[@claudiaarmah2389]

Moral of the story : Don't listen to stupid friends who give misguided ideas on finding a partner.

[@1ceb3rg__]

Can't believe she even became irresponsible with her work over a man she's never even met lmao
