On April fools day..poor woman

[@moj1338]

She is fooling herself (and trying to fool us) because she keeps saying she didn't believe him when he asked for $200 but she ended up giving him more than $100,000!

Did this woman suffer from an unstimulating life and finally she gets some action and some romance and she jumps at the chance. 21st century office 🏢 life is often boring 💤 and if there's no one warm to come home to...

My phone shortened the title and I full believed for a moment that this unfortunate lady had been conned out of £11 by the man she trusted.

Ideal candidate for This Morning Presenter. Sadly she'd fail the reality test.

Sorry but yes it can happen to anyone if your a fool and easily parted with your money , she doesnt live under a rock and must of heard of romance scammers before so why is she here begging ppl not to listen to them when she obviously didn't listen to the warnings from other ppl it's happened to and she's heard about 🙄 the bank shouldn't give you your money back because someone asked for it and you gave it to them 🤷‍♀️ doesn't matter if he made you aload of promises 🤷‍♀️
