A sucker born every day.

No sympathy.

She’s an idiot. You can’t fix stupid...

[Dilbert San Diego]

A few red flags? Someone being in a foreign country, and asking for money, are both huge.

Everyone, please do not overlook obvious red flags.

Lonely people can get desperate. While she was foolish, I’d still love to see these predators strung up.

Con artists are a plague. I suggest flamethrowers as the go to choice for execution.

[pfflier]

No way anyone falls for this. We’ve been warned for years ever since the Nigerian prince told us we’ve won a lottery that we never entered.

“If it worked on me, it could happen to you.”

Umm.. no.

[I want the USA back]

You didn’t meet a guy on an app. You interacted with a quadrillion or so of pulsating electrons aligned in such a way as to make you think you were talking to a nice guy.

At one time we had what were called “churches,” and “families.” People actually belonged to them, and through their membership met other people. Those other people were known to the group and could be vetted through the group. That method may not have been flashly, but it worked - you met people who largely had the same values and customs that you did. Your family approved of them. If you were hanging around with someone who was not compatible with the group values, a family member would take you aside and tell you.

Not a perfect system. And there were no Nigerian scammers back then posing as Jack from down the street.

I propose public execution for the love scammers.

[AppyPappy]

What a maroon.

[Hambone 1934]

Easy out....HAVE THEM TALK TO YOU IN ZOOM OR WHATEVER YOUR COMPUTER HAS....SCAMMERS WILL NEVER DO A FACE TO FACE...I know...My friend got catfished right up until the time he asked for money..........

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

if it worked on me, it could happen to you

I hate this line and the assumption behind it.

[mass55th]

Plenty of gullible people in the world. Sucks to be them.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

No. It couldn't.

Because if I send money to people I do not know on the internet it is because it is a gift and I can afford to give it.

Not one of them ever suggested that I take out a loan or sell a car or tried to guilt trip me.

[MV=PY]

"if it worked on me, it could happen to you"

Somehow, I think not.

[philippa]

Loneliness is a terrible plague in our Western society. It is almost unbearable, and people will do things that seem stupid and unbelievable to not be lonely.

[Eagles6]

The latest scam are pretty Asian girls (at least the photos) who will teach you to do short term trading, in crypto, so that you can retire together and travel the world.

I also have a cartoon obamabucks that I will message them.

"Will this help?"

[Tennessee Nana]

So because she thought he was ‘perfect’ she gave the man lots of $$$$ ???

How desperate was she ???

[cherry]

stupid....just stupid.....its humiliating when women fall for this crap but then I think lots of men fall into it too.....

stop being so stupid people....geez.

[Tennessee Nana]

BTW if she had just sent that money to Nigeria she would only be mad now, with no broken heart ...

[LittleBillyInfidel]

Aside from lonely and desperate poeple, narcissistic ego driven young men and women can very easily get suckered in by fake photos and millionaire profiles. They think they’re hot, so they martially accept that they would be desired by “the elite”.
