  1. Good. Learn to stay out of deadly countries.

  2. Bro went on a passport trip and got trapped! Poor guy RIP.

  3. Columbian women are as beautiful as they are dangerous.

  4. Nobody should be visiting colombia! Way too dangerous

  5. Another passport bro killed.

  6. He got tricked by that Colombian snatch involved with gangsters and criminals.

  7. Columbia is an American puppet state.

  8. This is what happened. He called for money and his brother said “ hmm no why” and it lead to his death. Also rip but he should have known a girl/ trans like that in Columbia. She/ he set him up and that’s facts. He was killed when they heard the brother say no! Why else would the brother text at 7am and say you still need the money? He said himself I need the money now?!!! But waited till morning

  9. So basically another passport bro got murdered? This is like the 6th one in the past couple of months. I would feel sad but the way they constantly trash American women and are perverts….. ugh 🤷🏽‍♀️

  10. Very careful with scammers on international dating sites. When its from another countries most likely its a scam and a swindler.

  11. Ok no going to Columbia for me.

  12. Not a good idea to go to Colombia at all

  13. western propaganda outlet

  14. Tinder= Ender down there. DO NOT USE IT TO MEET WOMEN, especially in Medellin.. Gringos have been getting drugged, robbed, extorted, and killed down there almost every week. Not to mention local men. These occurrences have taken a 100% increase after the lockdown. You are targeted! Even from the airport. As far as this man, there are locals down there who put chicks up on this app to lure you in, and yes, sometimes these broads do play the long game.. The local law enforcement will only victim blame you if you report.. its cultural

  15. How tragic. My condolences to the man's family. I travel quite a bit, and one should be cautious wherever one goes. However, there isn't one country in South America I would set foot in – it's far too dangerous.

  16. So sad. The woman looks skanky. She probably lured him there to get a ransom

  17. He was denied borrowing money at first for sure

  18. What happened to his date? That mysterious woman… His so called date probably set him up.

  19. Colombians in south Florida are sketchy so I definitely wouldn’t go to Colombia

  20. If this is a surprise to you, please reply and state why.

  21. If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you…prevent inflation….

  22. Why would he go to Columbia? How stupid

  23. This is beyond sad. So sorry this happened to his family 🙏

  24. Places people shouldn’t go to if they don’t have businesses or family ties there… South America! Middle East, Africa, North Korea, Russia

  25. You can now understand why we want secure borders.

  26. People going to Colombia for dates are delusional and need to wake tf up, so sad to see. Be careful.

  27. You passport Bros need to stay away from these South American countries with these prostitutes they only want money not love !
