Girl Gets Scammed By Man For 10 Years...But The Twist Changes Everything (Sweet Bobby Deep Dive)

[@vickyoli]

What bothers me, that she keeps giggling when she remembers what “Bobby” said or did. She is still into her magical world. She is a victim, but also a woman in her mid 30s (now 40) that thinks like a 15yo girl.

[@pushinguproses]

I watched this and was just horrifically sad at the end. I do think Kirat was ignoring red flags, but I also attribute that to her feeling fragile and maybe desperate for love, and at some point it seems like she felt like she invested so much time into this person that she didn’t want to just leave. It really seems like her mental health was deteriorating. The cousin though… absolutely heartless and psychotic, no amount of ignoring red flags can justify or explain what she did. Especially considering the romantic angle/late night calls, etc. There’s something absolutely harrowing about thinking you are speaking romantically and sexually to someone and finding out they are not only NOT them, but related to you. That just upset the crud out of me.

[@slorec1534]

I knew about this but I did not know that a netflix documentary came out, is so sad, yes I think she was desperate for love, and is sad how in the end the cousing that it was involve in all this crap move on like nothing happen,this woman lost everything in one point

[@StarlaBizarre]

Leo, Layzee and Roses? What the hell

[@badrequest5596]

I kind of also put some blame in the family. The family and social pressure of getting married kept her going deeper into this and no one in the family at some point was like "ok its been 3 years and you still havent even seen him, it's time to move on to something real and accept this as a loss". I think everyone shares a part of the blame. Except for the real bobby and his wife. They were as blindsided by this

[@Fairygoblin777]

I feel like the cousin knew what they knew because she maybe went to them to confide/vent. This leads me to also think maybe when she'd come to them like "i think being scammed" they would reassure her? Idk😅

[@irne2847]

Before I watch this - being a victim and gullible is not mutually exclusive. You can often end up being a scam victim precisely due to being gullible

[@Unknown_faerie]

[@tiffanykim2773]

[@GalinaEv]

yes, but at some point you got to question things, right? or you are moving from gullible to idiot status. 10 years of her life wasted

[@MG-uz5mr]

@@GalinaEv no the point of the comment was that theres no question like: is she stupid OR a victim. You can be stupid/gullible, but being gullible/desperate doesn't mean you didn't get taken advantage of. She didn't ask to be tricked, i'm sure she thought it was all real - she was just desperate enough to ignore the red flags. The only way she'd not be a victim is if she knew he wasn't real but went along with it anyway.

[@katherinelynn1276]

She's naive but definitely still a victim. The 2 aren't mutually exclusive.

There’s a fine line between being a victim and being stupid and she’s far from being a victim. She’s a grown adult living in a fantasy romance world with ninjas, assassins and undercover agents!!! You have to be severely mentally disabled in order to fall for the stupidity these scammers are spewing. Im absolutely astonished at the fact that this documentary was even made but I guess the producers wanted to show the world that there are people that are genuinely this stupid. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@katherinelynn1276]

She had also just gotten out of what seemed like a very toxic relationship so she was very vulnerable and the cousin or whoever was behind it took advantage of that

[@TsarKashmere]

She broke up with her bf when Bobby was in hospital under witness protection. In the documentary, Bobby’s “wife” wanted a divorce due to the stress and distance, while kirat was there for him throughout. Lo and behold, Bobby gets divorced, she breaks up with her partner, and they’re now dating. It’s very transparent.. she officially cut ties with her bf once Bobby seemed like a viable option. Monkey branching. Also the cousin was 15 when this whole thing started, kirat was 32

[@gaaraxnaru]

​@TsarKashmere Doesn't make her less of a victim. The previous guy was stringing her along anyway, and the 15 year old cousin was still the one who started it and kept it going after being very grown.

[@bearynice4784]

​@@gaaraxnaru no one can really say much about her previous relationship , it get's less than a note in the show but always in connection to bobby's status like he was married I was in a relationship,he got divorced then we broke up...she was showing clear interest in bobby while in that relationship,and who knows who else,maybe her ex wasn't ready to marry a Woman who so easily was distracted by other men etc...all that of course is just conjecture as is this, she clearly was more comfortable in this fantasy than real life, the happiness as she recounts it all still very evident in her face she still has very fond memories of it,she was so blinded by this tale and that is not because of a previous bad relationship...you seem to be trying to blame her ex who had nothing to do with this and make her such a victim and blaming the cousin who sure was 25 (and yes started it,yet younger than 32 in the end) but no question of what possessed her to ignore all warnings and get so close to her 17yr younger cousin to involve her in what she convinced herself was real( and possibly secsual)...and no , not saying she isn't a " victim " of what happened ( comparison people who get out of DV call themselves survivors ) but I will give you victim...if I was a psychologist I would be very interested in this family and social media induced insanity ...

[@Noellep]

Yes, she ignored red flags. But i think people here are underestimating the power and imfluence of having a trusted family member reinforce that all of this stuff is real because they've confirmed it. If you listen to the podcast and watch the full documentary, you'll see how far Simran went to create this false sense of reality for Kirat. It is insane. When she had doubts, Simran always had an explanation (and Simran was also catfishing her ex, Bobby's brother). Yes, the witness protection stuff and other things were ridiculous. But this isnt like some of the folks on Scamfish who think they're dating a celebrity or send thousands to someone they've never met. Simran wasn't out for money. She is just a sociopath. I have much more compassion for Kirat than for many other catfish victims I've seen.

[@prajnajois4065]

This. Gaslighting can really really mess up someone's views, and Kirat seems like a victim of abuse. It takes years and years to recover from gaslighting, as one pieces together reality and digests it, while finding a personality and a sense of self in the midst of it all - I don't blame her for still "smiling" at the whole thing. I feel very bad for her and more power to her on her journey of building herself back up.

[@DuckGoat-mr9tu]

The documentary Definitely shows how legitimate it seemed.

[@lukamx2508]

Kirat does seem gullible, but as someone who comes from a tight knit family I would also find it hard to believe a family member would lie to me and gaslight me. Especially since Kirat was in a vulnerable place to begin with.

[@hblazer6458]

@@DuckGoat-mr9tu There was one scene where she was on a phone like she talked to someone on it and her voice said she talked to ... about it. And no words that she had talked to literally not a single person and just only texted. This scene made it seem that she talked on the phone.

[@Hallofang]

She is gullible but 1000% a victim of manipulation and traumatized. She is a vulnerable person and clearly she has self eststems issues, pressure from family and society. While she is a grown woman there is clea rreason why she let this gone in so long. That cousin is a literal psychopath. To do this for literal years, verbally being abusive, taking away the chance to be with the dieing grandmother and probably 100% likely being sexual, JUST TO FIND OUT IS FAMILY? She is going to be needing therapy for years.

Turned out my other friend found him on my profile, friended him, stole all of his pictured and lead this girl on for a year and a half. She even pretended to be me and his brother (because we were in so many of his photos). We were 15/16 and it was a huge lesson and betrayal of trust.

[@beewest5704]

Ppl found her on Linkedin if I remember correctly. Simran is the President/CEO of a big bank & one of the youngest in banking & finances. She has a rather impressive career climb especially as a woman of color. To think she did this while scamming her cousin is insane. When ppl found her they called her job & she had to take extended leave & later resigned quietly. She deleted all her socials no wonder you could not find anything. Kirat won a out of court settlement for a undisclosed amount & a public apology. Ppl think Simran left the country. Bobby was not rich living this jetset live but a normal dentist. The whole thing divided their family with some on Simrans side still believing it was a married Bobby who strung Kirat along & when found out threw Simran under the bush. Bobby's wife was even suspicious of him because of the intimate information she had on Bobby & especially their son including private items & photos. The insanity of it all!!

Feels weird that being that being gullible is seemingly held as a crime as bad as lying, manipulating and scamming someone for a decade. People are more lonely than ever in the internet age despite usually being surrounded by people in their lives and online. I do consider her a victim of being too hopeful and not recognizing red flags. But maybe this empathy comes from seeing all the people taken advantage of on shows like catfish or scamfish or all the tech support scams. Probably the world would be a kinder place with much more people like her and less like bobby.

​@@mildredpierce4506Still she did not deserve to someone to go to so much lengths to deceive her. Simran created 100 of different profiles of ppl who communicated between each other & Kirat & Kirat's sister. They were actually active profiles filled with pictures & friends, families & chats between ppl other than Kirat. She started a FB page with over 20 of Bobby's so-called family. Simran used info she had while only dating the real Bobby's brother for a few months. She was definitely still stalking him. She photoshopped real photos of the real Bobby & his family. She had 3 way voice convos where she was 2 of the 3 ppl. She engineers Kirat to choose clothing for the baby she already had pics for so she could send it to Kirat. Never in my wildest dream would I think anybody was capable of this. Or would put so much time & effort into fooling me. What was her motive even? She was not even getting money. Was she in love with her cousin. Did she hate her? Was it revenge? Or just mental illness? I do agree Kirat needs some serious introspection & she is in some way just as mentally ill as Simran to fall for this for so long, At the end she had to lie to herself to keep the serade going. This is such a sad situation. Knowing that Simran did all of this while getting a elite degree suma cut laude & climbing the corporate ladder at the same time. Simran is terrifying & interesting AF. I want to climb in her brain. I doubt Kirat was her 1st or only catfish. She was too sophisticated. Wish Netflix could have got her to participate.

I saw a live stream in London alittle while ago. It looked pretty peaceful from what I saw.

[@SSheezCrafty]

@jayvonwebb4864 11 if unable to leave immediately, stay in , go online, and do the same shit you do at home, until it's the departure date

[@kitsterangel]

11. Get your phone stolen

“I will not hiding anything from the police. Good luck.” LMFAOOOOO HE ATE

[@notiddymothbirlfriend]

I feel like impersonating someone else for the purpose of having uh ~relations~ with them, even digitally, should definitely be AT LEAST a form of s*xual harassment, if not assault. She didn't consent to anything with her cousin. She consented to... Things... With the guy she thought she was dating.

[@myricn]

Idk why she would even bother talking to a married man?

[@AmourNista]

It's the fact that the person who did all this was a younger cousin, which means that elaborate plan was executed by someone who was a child practically.

[@Lizzypoohxo]

Stoked for another long video BUT, ill have to wait for my son to go to bed because he will talk my ear off until he falls asleep (and i love it)

[@BestSharkis]

9:40 Completely agree, and it's a good message for young people. Even if a family is your primary goal in life, don't put everything into it. You always run the risk of your partner backing out. Mine refused to get a job after 7 years, but expected me to be the full time breadwinner but also a stay at home mother. So that relationship ended and now in my 30s I'm having to get my higher education and build what I should've built in my 20s. But I spent my 20s trying to work on that relationship and I was supporting his family. Absolutely do not put in more than you're getting out. Don't put your life on hold for people who are not putting anything in. Even now in my new relationship it's making me very hesitant to make myself vulnerable so it's still affecting me. Look after yourself kids, no one else will.

[@katelynbrown98]

35:48 this is so crazy. I don't understand how this woman allowed this. Someone should've instilled some self-confidence and self-control in her. Her parents massively failed her.

[@schneewitschen101]

I saw an interview with a former stalking victim. One of the first things she said was “I don’t have a full deck in the common sense department”. REALLY wish this lady had that level of self awareness

[@marathon419]

I watched this and she is a fool but I needed this SixteenLeo video to wake me up and get me through work

[@CicadaXiii]

Always so happy to see the long 1hr+ videos!

[@g00dmorning]

Her reaction to them being scared when she showed up AT THEIR DOOR with intimate info abt their son was insane n completely put me off from her. She was like mad at them for their fear n didn’t realize she had gone full blown creep. But i do believe she must have been really hurt but i cant understand how the lies weren’t glaringly obvious 😭 BRINGING UR COUSIN IN WITNESS PROTECTION (?) N THEM TEXTING UR NOT GIRLFRIEND FOR U??????????? absolutely not. that would only make sense in a fanfic 😭

[@dinotsukishima464]

“I don’t know which one ruined her life” I mean I’d place most of the blame on the cousin, but I guess being gullible is just as bad as the person manipulating and gaslighting 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@Fastest_turtle]

Imagine she missed her last moments with her grandma because of cousin decided she wasn’t allowed !! 😡😡😡

[@lane6216]

She started as a victim, and ended up victimizing herself. It’s sad, and complicated, but most of this was avoidable. I hope she learned a lot and does better moving forward. Side note: seeing Layze was everything!!

[@babyturkey8342]

She's still a victim lol...being gullible, dumb, stupid, etc etc etc is not a crime it's not morally wrong. What the person on the other end was doing to her is morally and wrong. Her being "stupid" doesn't take away the fact that she's a victim 🙄

[@lane6216]

@ , I didn’t say anything regarding all the words you used against her. Re-read my post.

[@michalovesanime]

​@@lane6216 maybe we just dont agree with the "self victimization" part. Cuz its still making the victim responsible for something that was done to them. Being naive, gullible etc doesnt matter. Its basically a sign of having too much faith in humanity, its sad that people need to beat that out of themselves. We can all be frustrated because we wanted BETTER FOR HER though

[@drewgoin8849]

​@@babyturkey8342 I don't think anyone is arguing that gullibility is against the law. I do think that many viewers feel their level of sympathy is moderated by the victim's incredible lack of common sense.

[@TheQueenRulesAll]

Remember, we hear all the red flags in quick succession. When it happens over years, the time between the flags diminishes the effect. Pile on a lot of red flags within a short time, and the pattern is easier to see. Also, we are not emotionally invested which often skews one's decision making and critical thinking.

[@urfosterdad]

i honestly believe a huge part of these ppl subconsciously know they're getting catfished, but another subconscious part of them understands that the only way to the truth is through playing the part. and i think some ppls curiousity is stronger than their common sense. if ppl js admitted they were getting catfished but that they want to know who is behind it, they could js entertain the situation without growing emotionally attached or losing money

[@OctoBear88]

I was catfished once in my early 20s And at first I thought it was real, and thought I was loved and had someone, I had sent them so much money and wasted like 5+ years. At first I didn’t realize there were red flags, I was seeing it all through rose coloured glasses and believed it all, then my friends knew how to reverse search his images and told me who the guy really was and he was some old rugby player who retired, and I confronted them, they said that yea it is them and that they were scared to tell me the truth. I believed it again, and wanted it to be him, we would talk on the phone, never video chat, and I would talk to his “cousin” as well and his imaginary daughter. I eventually found out that the guy whose image was being used, was working in a gym in Australia as a trainer. When confronted, they admitted it wasn’t them, then they sent a different image of another guy, I couldn’t find this guys image anywhere. But it all starts to spiral eventually, whenever I asked to vid call, or whenever I would threaten on flying to NC where they said they resided I’d get angry answers saying things like - I won’t talk to you ever again, I will not go see you, I will ignore you, etc Eventually I realized it was all the cousin, she was fooling me and we slowly stopped communicating.

[@beewest5704]

Combination of folders a deux and sunken cost fallacy!

[@thirstwithoutborders995]

The fact that Simran was 15 when she started it makes sense, because that's the kind of bullshit you pull at that age. I remember in the MySpace days we would make profiles with random pictures from the internet and chat with boys, pretending to be one girl when we were two friends giggling, making up stories about our glamorous life. But those usually ended after the sleepover, one time I chatted with someone for a week, saying I was at my glamorous job when I was in school. I started feeling weird about it and broke it off with the lie that I am back with my boyfriend and blocked him. I can see how that escalates, and a teenage Simran trying to get out of it with Witness Protection Programme (don't come looking for me) and even having a baby, hoping her cousin would break it off... I can totally see how that escalates. I mean, Kirat was too old to fall for this shit. And I think as she grew older, Simran should have just stopped and ghosted the situation, instead of bringing letters and stuff. It is psychotic, but I understand the beginning.

I'm halfway through, just after the baby, and my prediction is its her cousin. Edited to add: the very next scene is with the cousin and its 100% her cousin.

[@meggymoo5496]

This was so funny the way you reacted to this show. Also in the Irish English culture especially mine, born 77 so my parents had big expectation on me getting married being the only girl out of 3 kids . My brothers could get away with anything but no me. It was very impressive growing up and truthfully traumatic . Religion plays a big part and specific gender roles . I’m now 47 happily married and don’t have much contact with my parents which to some people would be sad but I’m just glad to be my own person and my kids no regardless of gender etc they can do what can do and that it’s their life you only get one and it goes quick . Be good be honest be you 😊

[@leas7830]

Those who are "sad" or prech "They are your parents" would be the first to go no contact.

[@projectjupiter5523]

you have such a good outlook on things and i hope you have managed to create a life that you're happy with, you deserve to choose what you want to do 💖 and the message you're passing on to your kids is excellent, that's brilliant parenting

[@leas7830]

I don't have either 😅 This was perfect reaction, got all the info and more!

[@nuzailahebrahim2288]

Her gullibility was used as a weapon against her.....hence she is a victim.

[@coldchickensoup23]

my thing is…if “bobby”was a real person (which he was clearly since they apparently met at the club) wouldn’t she atleast acknowledge that he didnt know who she was when texting him?? how would that not raise red flags??? like i’m sorry but if i saw someone who i mainly talked to online and saw their face id IMMEDIATELY recognize them or atleast know that it’s them after a few seconds… that part should’ve been her sign. PLUS a quick google search of witness protection and the rules would’ve saved EVERYTHING. her parents clearly failed her with instilling self respect also: there should totally be criminal charges brought against the cousin. it’s upsetting that there has to be a money exchange for there to be an actual case

[@muszaj]

she is the victim of her own lack of common sense and peer pressure to get married no matter what. she even looks like a kind hearted lady, but... she's lowkey giving doante (love after lockup) vibes, if you know what i mean. i hope after the netflix documentary at least she got some money out of this insane wattpad fanfic.

[@Maray182]

Just when i thought I don´t know what to watch right know, you drop a deep dive! Lucky me🎉 Also, love the layze reference 😂❤

[@U1OceanWind]

I wonder if she subconsciously preferred to live in a dream world for 10 years and just ignored reality. Witness protection red flags were pretty obvious.

[@GoddesssofMind]

You’re so graceful n kind how you deliver these stories. ❤

[@christinerodriguez3976]

Omg Leo, your take on these videos is hilarious 😂 Please do not stop making these!!😂 AND Layze being in this one?! Love that dude too. 😂 Im surprised money wasn't involved in this. I feel bad for her, when you are lonely you can fall for the craziest things. Wow, her cousin!! That is absolutely nuts. Cousin is not tightly wrapped. She needs psychotherapy for real.

[@katherinelynn1276]

I felt so bad for her when I watched this. She just wanted love & to please her family.

[@mildredpierce4506]

She is a romance scammer’s dream. She believes everything people tell her without verifying anything. She’s very naïve and gullible. If she had been scammed/manipulative once, she probably has been more than once since this incident. Unfortunately, people like her do not learn from their mistakes. They just continue to repeat them.

[@silly.gr3mlin]

Thank you for the video Leo! I had a finals presentation and it did not go great, but this really helped brighten my day :)!

[@phemeloseotlolla]

There's such a thing as "too old to be stupid". I understand that people can be manipulated but she's basically manipulating herself here. It's ridiculous to be this gullible at this age when she could've found out that this man is capping by a simple Google search on how witness protection works.

[@vickyoli]

This! I understand a bit better this happening at a younger age, but close to 40 and she is this naive? It’s odd

[@tesstakes]

mental disabilities exist and often go undiagnosed. they're often lifelong. far more difficult to process things and have appropriate decision making when undiagnosed. i'm not saying that's what is happening here but i think people forget that everyone is different and some people have more difficulties than others. if you're not exposed to different kinds of people in different walks of life it can be difficult to understand other experiences. whatever is happening here is more than just "she manipulated herself". as someone who lived with undiagnosed autism into adulthood i personally can understand why someone can "be so naive or gullible" and the internal experience of what that feels like so i feel for her whether or not there is an identifyable reason beyond environment as to why she's like this. when she was able to identify that something may have been a red flag, she may have been trusting because she could have been more afraid of the alternative. people who are struggling with something undiagnosed can be very afraid of being abandoned. abusers often target people with these social difficulties. i hope sharing a different perspective encourages people to see a different point of view
