[@Ron71997]

It's hard to believe that with so much attention on romance scams - it' sad that people still fall for it. 1) If your internet or virtual love interest asks for money for what ever reason - it's a scam. Ask yourself - you never met them in person and you are willing to send a stranger money - yet probably wouldn't give someone you know that same amount of money. Think, talk to family or friends before you even think of sending money.... if you send money you have been scammed.

[@user-cz4vp8sj8w]

Once they ask for money dump them. I had met a pof man at a restaurant. And he kept calling me and asked me if he could borough $350.00 I said I don't have it. I never heard from him again. When they ask for money dump them it's a flag

[@RickCollier-yb2st]

Never send anyone money you haven't met in the flesh! Once the money's gone, it's gone! One tactic a scammer will use is try to convince you their bank account is frozen and they need money! There are only three reasons a person's account is frozen, fraudulent activity, money laundering or international sanctions! So, if true, your new love is most likely a criminal anyway!

[@MajorCulturalDivide]

She doesn't look like she belongs to a Triad. Maybe the Wo Shing Wo?

[@kicknotes]

Her life savings is $20K at 50+? That's the bigger tragedy.

[@robertwest4157]

She was looking for a man with money, I guess no one ever told her men with money are looking for younger women. Hard lesson but at least she learned it.

[@thedieseldiet]

@@robertwest4157 Exactly! I take hot yoga classes. When I am in shape, I get insane attention from younger women but then these grannies try to flirt aggressively and try to compete with a hot bodied 20 something year old women. Like if I am going to diet down and train super hard, a granny is not what I am aiming for, Funny thing is, they get pissed, like somewhat LIVID because I chose a woman in her 20s while I am in my 30s not wanting women in their 40s or 50s.

[@vivelaresistance3239]

[@8MunchenBayern8]

most Americans are dead broke. she's doing better than most

[@chrisphilips2768]

Luckily that’s all she had in savings. I’m sure if she had $500,000 the scammer would have gotten it all.

[@ShawnSoth]

When granny isn't satisfied with bingo night, so instead is out there looking for her white knight. LMAO

[@thedieseldiet]

Lol these grannies are delusional. So are these single mothers, they legit think that they can compete with hot 20 something year old women. I see this when I take hot yoga classes. Like stay in your lane and stop being aggressive. Its insane that they legit get mad if a guy they like chooses a 20 year old. Epidemic of delusion among older women.

[@inerit5175]

Please STOP sending your money to strangers! PLEASE!!!

[@dianagladman1309]

They don't care who they scam, in the end you will end broke and heart broken, before that happens, please ask yourself, this, what does money has to do with love? They will love you so much because you gave money. But when you don't they will leave you. I had one who wanted money, but I didn't have it, he quit talking to me and I block him. Happy and not stress, now. It's not worth it.

[@thedieseldiet]

Well its a form of projection in a sense. She presumes that if a man loves her, he will display his affection with money. Probably was the case when she was young and better looking. Now she is trying to use what worked on her back in the day and got burnt.

[@JamesWilliams-kt9mx]

You give somebody ten thousand dollars without investigating the company until after you get scammed.

[@user-bw8fj4pv9i]

I am from America. I am really happy to see your work to expose people like this on web and make awareness among people. I had already shared this *GRIND TECHIEI* to all my foreign friends and ask them to share to others. Thank you again please keep the good work. Thank you again!

[@pishachas]

Wow that sucks. Thank god that African prince I lent $10,000 to said he would give me his kingdom as collateral. If I didn’t have that in my name I would’ve ended up just like her

[@eckankar7756]

You're smart, you got a guarantee.

[@pishachas]

@@jjoohhnnx I just questioned him about this. I was relieved to learn that he actually has a twin brother that owns a neighboring kingdom. Unfortunately the prince’s time is incredibly valuable, so I would have to schedule a 1,500 an hour call session to learn more about his relationship with your situation. However, I find myself very interested in his story and since I will be rich, I will probably schedule a few 5 hour calls. It may seem like a lot of money now but I will easily be able to pay that back once his riches are delivered to me. I’m not entirely sure when that happens since he is having bank transferring issues, but I imagine it will be soon.

[@eckankar7756]

At her age and her life savings is under $20K she needs to work as much as she can while she's still able to work and sock as much money away for retirement, not chasing men. Grandma Hot Panties GAVE her 'life savings' away and didn't even get a date, dinner or a kiss out of it.

It's too bad these people don't realize that the person they are communicating with does NOT exist. Their main target is older, lonely, vulnerable women. Once they find you likes and dislikes, interests , and your lifestyle they know just the right thing to say to reel you in. FYI..if they ask for money, IT'S A SCAM

[@TR-507]

No, her savings wasn’t “wiped” by anyone. She willingly gave it away for the fantasy. 🤦🏻‍♀️ such foolish women.
