Romance SCAM Uncovered

A lot of people are losing money in online romance scams. In this video I uncover one and show you who's behind it!
Scammers are finding vulnerable people on Adam 4 Adam (A4A) and other dating sites. They pretend to be soldiers oversees who are looking for relationships. The two people I investigate go by "Henry Peebles" and "Johnson Rosario." Watch out for these guys!
If you are interested in helping "Sean" get back on his feet, you can donate through PayPal to [e-mail]. Put "Help for Sean" in the memo.

Rule #1 of online dating: if they won't video chat or meet you in person within 2 weeks or they ask for money before meeting you in person, they're a scammer.

[@sarahphillips295]

💯% If people followed these simple and common sense rules (and never gave them nudes to use for sextortion,) these scammers would have to get real jobs and do something beneficial with themselves. I wouldn’t even give them two weeks either. If they’re in your area and aren’t a scammer or just totally wasting your time wanting a side piece, you should have a face to face date scheduled in a week.

Thank you! How can you love someone through emotionless texting???

[@the1exnay]

Blakeley Taylor Pretty easily in my experience.. v.v

[@sp4rkl3ninj4taylor6]

You are just projecting your own feelings onto those texts. They are really just words that you have no idea of the intent behind them.

[@the1exnay]

Blakeley Taylor I feel like you're underestimating what can be communicated via text. It's certainly less than can be communicated in person or on a call. And it's easier to lie via text of course. But there's still a lot that can be communicated via text including things outside the literal meaning of the words used. Sometimes after I've read a good book i can have trouble remembering whether it was a movie or a book. Like since it has been a couple years since I've watched or read harry potter i genuinely am not sure which parts of my memory are from the books or from the movies. My mind at least doesn't differentiate much between the source of the information. Is yours different? Is the medium strongly encoded in your memories?

[@sp4rkl3ninj4taylor6]

@@the1exnay Understandable. Ok, when you're reading a book don't you read with your imagination to put yourself where the characters are? Like when someone sends you the text...I love you. Do you imagine those words coming from his/her mouth, the setting in which they may be sending you the text in, and the emotion he/she must be feeling while sending that text? For me, I imagine that he's in a room, by himself, longing for me. But I also know it's probably not the case. Our imaginations get inserted between the lines. At least it does for me.

Thank you for turning me on to Google Image Search. I’m contacted by a ton of romance scammers on Facebook. They comment on my posts using a formula. First, they compliment me. Goes along the lines of I’m beautiful and they love my posts. Second, they say they want to get to know me. Third, they say they’ve sent me friend requests that didn’t go through. Finally, they ask me to send them a friend request. It’s July 2023. One of the recent scammers claimed to be a Navy SEAL. His profile was created in May 2023 and uses a pic of a gentleman who died in May 2023. He apparently saw the deceased man’s obituary and paired his picture with the biography of a real SEAL. Another one who claimed to be a businessman from New York was using the picture of a mathematician from the University of California.

[@reda29100]

Not at all. I'm not putting down PG, but actual criminals, and I mean *real* criminals are way, *waaay* smarter than these, excuse my language, idiots and dumb scammers. I remember a documentary about drug smugglers using primitive phones and prepaid SIM cards that have no GPS, and even if detected through service provider tracing or whatever, they will change their cards AND phones such that whatever card was traced is left behind. Also, notice how PG can do almost nothing to track him unless he clicks the URL. And the reverse picture search? It just reveals where pic was taken from (could be just random FB account that they have plenty of pics, happy, sad if we're talking about sympathetic situations, nude if we're speaking of dating, or just stock share pictures website), but not where it was sent from. In short, if the criminal is dumb enough to use the same communication device and address and click whatever URL or accepted whoever joins his gang, then yes anyone can catch him. If he was a real, hyper-aware of every step he and others take then that's a tricky situation to deal with. And no, I'm not hating on PG or patronizing what he does; I enjoy every video of his. But *assuming all criminals to be this dumb to be tracked, and minimizing how difficult, and sometimes even very risky if an undercover agent was involved, and minimizing what real investigations takes, is something I'm against.* Before someone criticizes and says (but agency X does not do that, or government Y does not care enough to spend this much effort) is not my point. I'm not praising nor vindicating X and Y; I'm just pointing out what real investigation requires, and not arguing if organization Z does that or not. I don't care about politics, I'm talking about the abstract subject of investigation itself, and no I'm not an expert or an enthusiast, just a layman watching scam-baiting videos.

This almost happened to me a few months ago. Chatted with a girl on POF that eventually moved to WhatsApp. Luckily I caught on to her scam before she started asking for money. But her gimmick was basically that she was a Marine currently deployed over in Japan. And each time I tried to video chat with her, she always had an excuse like she had to "preserve" her minutes in case of emergencies. The biggest tip off was her sending me a picture of her lunch. Didn't know they had Whataburger....IN JAPAN!!! These people are sociopaths and deserve to get beaten with a sock full of nickels.

Hello Benjamin. I just came across you while doing research for a friend who has a friend who is currently experiencing a romance scam very similar to this one. I just had to say after watching several of your videos I've totally become a fanboy of your work. There are dozens of what I like to call (and someday hope to become) anti-scam professionals with videos on KZbin but only a few of them in my opinion are worth the time commitment, for various reasons. I find your videos very engaging and intriguing from the beginning to the end. You have what I consider a very unique storytelling style which I find captures my interest every time. I now find myself binge watching your videos on a daily basis. And now that I've completely embarrassed myself I'm going to head off and binge watch some more before bedtime. Thank you for all that you do, and please keep fighting the good fight.

You are so freakin awesome dude. Much respect.... That fake detective service that charged him 1000 dollars should be the next to be investigated or they should forward you that money. That was amazing. Not to mention rhe time you took out of the kindness od your own heart to help " sean". Im a first time watcher on this video and Im def gonna subscribe.

Like you said, too many people are falling for all these 'on line lovers." Dr, Phil continuously has family members contacting him so he can prove to their family member getting scammed will believe him. He shows all the details to them proving they are scammers.

[@thetruthalwayshurt8515]

I mess with them all the time. Today I had one on the phone for almost an hour and in the end I told him, I hope you feel stupid for believing anything I said because it’s all lies and I knew you were a scammer

[@DJRazorgirl826]

It is. They have zero respect for Americans these scammers. They consider us all rich morons. I have a blast messing with them. Plus, they are giving their countries a terrible image which isn't right.

[@Q_z_]

I hope projects like these kick off your KZbin channel. I see these videos as a potential to develop into a scam relief organization. Hopefully Sean gets back on his feet and many others as well.

[@JayD-eq8sz]

Thanks for doing this. I have come across possibly the same guys, but I saw through their scams and stopped corresponding with them. Almost always, it starts that they are with the military and are often in some other foreign country… then almost always they want to switch over to Google chat. I once almost fell for it, but I never sent him the money or any of the guys since then. Anyway, thank you.

*FBI:* "There's not much we can do to identify the perpetrators." *Pleasant Green:* Gets name, location, photo of guy's face, FB account, phone number, and text records proving the scam Ok....why do I pay taxes again?

[@ThatDerp]

FBI would use the "not our jurisdiction" excuse when the perpetrators are not in the US.

[@busylivingnotdying]

Well sure, we COULD use the story, in righteous indignation, to let the FBI know how dum they are….(I know I don't trust them anyway), perhaps even cut their funding (tax cuts are popular) …. OR, we can encourage IMPROVEMENT! and hook them up with "our man" to learn :)

[@DanielLopez-sh2pp]

The FBI is trash. So are local authorities. They are so incompetent at their jobs. They are more political in nature. It turns out they will not give a fuck. Even when an actual head of state contacts you. They look away indifferently. Especially if these foreigners made a deal to previously contact you first of all things through the USA federal government.

Thank you Pleasant Green. Im no military personal. I am just a young person who is interested with the military genre. But I do know that it is super disrespectful of using a picture of a U.S or any other military for malicious intent. These people should not be doing this in the first place. It is both disrespectful and these people are literally scamming people. So thank you Pleasant Green. We need more people like you.

[@DrRawBalls_TheDummy]

This goes to show you that what your doing is a good thing 👍🏻 I found this channel 2 or 3 years ago and seen every video several times and now rewatching them again 👍🏻 these videos never get old and that includes the turkey Slurpee lol and the ski on a hoverboard 😂 love it and love this channel 👌🏻 I’m steal dealing with the lost of my brother recently and only a handful of content helps me smile and Mr Ben Dover 😂 aka Taylor always makes me laugh and smile with his good deeds and humor

[@patrickhunt4288]

Pleasant Green I really do like your channel. Honestly. I watch a few videos a day since I became a subscriber. Please keep doing what you're doing to help people gain awareness to scams. With that said this particular video loses some empathy from me, when the scammed let the "N" word drop. I get how pain is a force that can make someone lose themselves for a moment. But not only did he have time to work towards getting out of that headspace. He had time to contact you and play on your heartstrings. I can't feel bad for a guy that drops N BOMBS like that.

[@commiedeer]

Had an online acquaintance of mine get wrapped up in one of these dating scams a couple months back. A nice, fairly upstanding gentlemen native to South Korea, thought he was talking on Tinder to a nice girl that just moved to Seoul. Long story short, "she" pretended to be someone caught up in a prostitution ring and he, thinking he could somehow help, ended up sinking the equivalent of $16,000 US. Fortunately because the scam was local, he has a good chance of getting his money back but the whole thing has left him very bitter and angry. Hope Sean found what he was looking for in the end. And yes that is vile no matter who it's done to.
