[@rodneymaher7024]

Sadly, I am currently caught in one of these romantic relationships. It's very difficult to leave, because the person builds you into a character story about yourself, and, as soon as you break from that "character" you are opened up to attacks, very deep and personal character assassinations. I'm currently trying to make a permanent break of this. I'm a well educated person, but, please, this can happen to anybody. My advice would be - as soon as you see a red flag, or feel something drop in the pit of your tummy, think even a bit of doubt, please - disappear. It may not be obvious to you, you might feel real love with this person, but they are skilled at manipulation. It can be difficult for you to even say the ways you are being controlled, because your emotions are involved, and it's often a highly controlled setup, behind the scenes. Even with this knowledge, it's hard to leave. But, you must. Do it for yourself. Don't say goodbye. Remember that you can do something to save others from the same fate, and concentrate on that

[@debbierandall6256]

Yes, you are right, I’ve been there.

[@ggbomb9079]

Yes exactly, I gave 20,000 to a scammer over the course of the last eight months and then all of a sudden he dropped me after I questioned him several times. Sad thing but emotions get caught up but I’ve been building myself back up by watching a lot of relationship videos and healthy relationships. Also having a relationship with the Lord helps guide me into truth because he says the truth is always revealed and it is!! Yes I was very disappointed because I had high hopes for my life to change but these people are downright evil and they don’t care. I’m more or less embarrassed myself but proud of myself for finally cutting it off.

[@ggbomb9079]

Lastly I’m sure that my scammer would love for me to try to contact him and beg for him to come back but I am not going to do that!!!!

How to get less scammers 1. Keep you friends and family private 2. Don't give to much info on social media 3.Don't accept friend requests unless you know the person 4 Don't post pictures 5. Set privacy settings

[@peartfaldo]

find a hobby and dont use social media at all.

[@mariagrobler837]

Agreed

[@PurpleQueenBatz]

It isn't only on dating sites. I was targeted on Facebook. If you think to yourself "this is too good to be true" then it usually is. As soon as they ask for money make notes and report it to the police. These people will already be known by the authorities and any information you can pass to them will help their investigation further. Never follow them onto another platform, ie WhatsApp, and never EVER send them money. Go with your gut instinct, 9 times out of 10 you'll be right.

[@sharonkutz8272]

So was i and called him on it. Gee he deleted his Facebook profile. Be very careful.

[@norlizazulaikha7444]

Thank you, I think I will also go with my gut instinct.....its another one of those.."too good to be true" picture

[@PurpleQueenBatz]

Ghosting is another clue. All over you one minute, then periods of silence, plus they'll never video chat. Alternatively, you can become a decoy. So, you play along with his little game, collect all the details of how much money you're (not) gonna send him, you'll also need the full name of the real recipient, and the full address of where you're excepted to send it in the world. This, along with copies of your exchanged text/emails, you then pass to you local Police Fraud Department. As they say, every little helps 😁👍

[@Sarablueunicorn]

People seem to focus on dating apps but I see many more cases where scammers attack through social media like facebook and instagram. Actually, it's way easier. A dating app (tinder/bumble for example) doesn't have a lot of information, few pictures and a short bio and a scammer still needs to get lucky to be matched. But with social media accounts they can check one person's photos in a time line, know their habits, life style, job, etc and create a character more adapted to the victim. So, people, keep your social media accounts private and be careful when accepting messages and requests from strangers.

[@susiesnarey8442]

They are trolling on KZbin too. I recently got targeted from one there . I just told him what I thought .

Many victims are in denial when they are told that the love of their life (whom they have never met) is a scammer. They don't want to know that the fairy tale is actually a nightmare.

[@patriciamcdermott9589]

i had a friend like that. he was intelligent and very dating savvy and could have found someone local very easily but he got involved with some "woman" online, was going to marry her and sent her over 40,000 dollars and when he told her he wasn't sending any more money, that she needed to get on the plane and come to him so they could get married.. she never spoke to him again. he killed himself shortly after. we all told him it was a scam and he just wouldn't listen. there's so much information online about what to look for and it's pretty easy to tell if you just educate yourself. but it's true, some people don't want to know and that is very very sad and that is why this is rampant out there. lots of people are willing to ignore all the signs just to get some attention. that is what is really messed up.

[@ladyhecate9450]

And do not forget to block him for they will try to contact you after you realize that you are being scammed and they try to convince you that they are not scammers. They are professionals and have it all worked out in what to say when they are accused of being a scammer. Singer/song writer Bob Dylan contacted me thanking me for liking his music and thought we had a lot in common. I told him I did not like his music and we have nothing in common because he is a Scammer and not Dylon. He actually got angry with me, said I really hurt him in my saying that and he asked if all American women are so cruel. I told him we are just onto you Scammers and blocked him.

[@Truffles563]

I got scammed. I actually met him in Miami long ago and we dated. Then we were on a long-distance romance since 2007. He kept promising that he'll come to my country to marry me. He never did. Instead he ended asking for money because the ''immigration lawyer'' needed it. I learned now that if it's someone you haven't seen for the longest (even if you did dated them once long ago) that's like talking to a stranger, a ghost.

They’re emotional vampires. If it sounds too good, and also moves at a breath taking pace from casual conversation to love bombing it is too good to be real.

I want to tell anyone who has been through this ordeal, you've refused to give them money, suddenly they then start gas-lighting you angrily after all the loving words they've spoken, and then they drop you... it will hurt like hell for about a week - you must tell yourself each day for that week, "it wasn't real. It was a lie. it was hard but I am well rid of this person." The second week it will start to hurt less because you've affirmed so many times now the truth about the scammer. At the end of the 2nd week, you'll be OK again. Maybe your mind will drift towards him from time to time, but that's OK, you just repeat "it wasn't real. It was a lie. it was hard but I am well rid of this person" to yourself. You're going to be fine. xo

It’s super important to get out the message that it’s not just dating sites. Dating sites are saturated where if you’re a 60 year old woman, chances are 90% of responses are people half way around the world with stolen photos and fake profiles. Problem is that people not on dating sites feel,safer when they shouldn’t. Cat lover sites, grief groups etc. are also riddled with them. Just a little introductory “hey, I think your comments are insightful……”. Sets,off the chain, never mind the “I lost my wife at the same time you lost your husband, the grief is just so……..” fish hooks to disaster. Don’t know how many f…ing times people need to be told not to send money to someone they’ve never met no matter what they tell you. Reality is that people,in very poor countries can’t believe that they are hundreds of thousands of people half way around the world who will send thousands, tens of thousands and sadly even hundreds of thousands of $ for words of ❤️ and “I’m coming to marry you.” Until the giving stops, the problem will never go away.

How soon would a scammer ask for money? how patient are these scammers? I have this guy who wrote me, but seems too good to be true. I'm backing off.slowly, but would like to know if he's genuine or a svammer!!? lol..

Cut off relationship....tell them you are a narcissist..... they'll not call back

On another line of thought : I wonder what per cent of all regular romance is a scam ?

[@paulaw3264]

It would be interesting if some statistical data could come across for these situations. They are prevalent enough to Warrant such a study.

[@marciathehooligan9967]

Bottom line is women need to realize that QUALITY men DO NOT bum money from women! And a self made millionaire wouldn't have to! NEVER EVER SEND MONEY

[@CharetteOfficial]

Yea just asked them to video call and they won't accept and will stop talking eventually. When they do accept it will be short and an actor pretending to be single and traveling with crypto. They will always sign off and on around the same times like it's a job.

[@dellawright2627]

Thanks for you info

[@raidergerry3220]

Even though I knew it was a scam, I kept thinking of getting the money she was asking for.

[@MrGrummpy]

Thank you for this informative video. As to future 'What to do' videos, I think solid advice on backups would be helpful. I weekly backup my laptop to a portable hard drive. I upload almost all files to a cloud server. What else would you suggest?

[@NakedSecurityBySophos]

Good suggestion, we'll share it with Duck!

[@karentranter7806]

Brilliant!!!!!

[@lisanidog8178]

Someone tried that on me. He wasn’t successful because I wouldn’t give him a penny. He pretended he was in the military. But he couldn’t make up his mind which branch and he hated it pointed out. Then he showed a picture of a box of money and all sorts of papers and said where can I mail it to you it’s yours to keep. I told him to get lost. I’d heard about scams like that. Oh the anger from him. I ignored him. He was outraged I didn’t bite on his phony proposal. I deleted all his messages, blocked him and went on with my life. I was never on any dating site, I don’t Facebook or Twitter he found me on KZbin. He probably found someone else.

[@arfriedman4577]

Watch out for phone scam stating your electric bill or other utility hasn't been paid. They tell you to press 1, and don't even name the company.

[@whitelight3314]

Went on a dating site, like the guy and we connected. Starting chatting on Insta and what’s app but now realising he is a scammer. He wanted me to give him 2 grand for a bitcoin he had set up but I refused

[@toddcott9510]

I just don't understand why people do Facebook.

[@christinechambers8133]

I am a scam buster. I flirt with the scammers and play with them psychologically. When the mention of money comes up I go in for the kill. I would like to set up some sting operations with the authorities.

[@MetroidMeister]

I had someone trying to scam me a few years ago. The scammers said she was very religous and read the bible back to back. The scammer deleted her Zoosk profile after telling me to go to Yahoo Messenger. That is where we talked. She said she was cheated on. An Xbox gamer friend told me they do that to make you feel bad for you. Another gamer friend told me his dad's friend was almost a victim of one. Then came the time she wanted money. I told my mother and she said it was a scam. I chatted with her more after that then at the end I ended the relationship. She texted me after I ended it but I think she was tying to text someone else but texted me by mistake. I sent a text by saying "Trying to scam another man bitch." Thanks to my mother and those Xbox gamer friend the scammer never received a penny.

Fyi... All of your commas belong One space backwards. You put a comma and then one space not the other way around when punctuating. Example: I want to go to the grocery store today and I will get lemons, onions, milk and butter.

[@louiseleach6551]
