If you want to see it someone loves you back. Ask them to send you money once.
Our parents "don't fall for scams, if it's to good to be true, it is." Our parents "let me cash out my 501k for a complete stranger*
Thirsty lonely people with money make excellent scam targets. 🤕🤕🤕
The FBI should go after the CBOE. They rob Americans of their 401k contributions every day unabated. That's probably why the FBI is looking for these people. The CBOE wanted to steal those funds!
So yes these scammers should be found and punished. However this dude is obviously not the brightest crayon in the box. Dude was asking to be scammed. Get it together and use the brain in your skull not your pants.
Agent Kitboga is a thousand years ahead of the FBI.
Isn't using $50 MILLION in political contributions for legal fees an online scam? 💩💩
There are other criminal and organized crime cartels too like the nortenos 14 and Italian mafia in canadas being connected
It’s about time something got to be done for all the victims . With so many scammers online you may think how anyone can be so stupid but trust me onced these scammers get in they have a way n put u in a position of blackmailing or place where u have to n most felt ashamed n commit suicide . For social media to let this happening it ridiculous n if we can’t stop them now AI going to get better n worser .
ssn Bit live fed
I know I have been told by many people I'm getting scammed as well, I have tried too reach out too the show catfish but no response back I have faith that my girl is real but everyone else in my life is convinced that she is scamming me. I'm just wondering what others think
she was like his daughter… creepy man!
Tinder and Snapchat are big into scamming.
Only Trump fans are so stupid to believe these scams. If you believe criminal Trump, you believe everything.
He knew he had a daughter to take care of and still spent all his life savings for a woman? That's not normal behavior. Only the most gullible would do that.
Honestly no one to blame but himself for lack of education.. very sad
That's a classic from the book. Romantic scam is the most obvious things to identify.
🤣🤣🤣 these weirdos. STOP falling for online strangers. STOP SENDING YOUR MONEY TO STRANGERS. My God why would send someone you've never met $400k 😮
Is sad people get scammed, 😮
Me love you long time.. 😢
Should get escort services.
The FBI isn't working hard enough what about these fake government money giveaway ads on YouTube?
That's easy to address it's on YouTube and everybody is annoyed by them!
The biggest Red Flag you should have known is anything involving BITCOIN!
I keep getting this type of crap on my email. I fell for this crap one time on f.b.years ago. Never again.
These scams have existed for years… now it's crossed racial divides
What! Fantasy thinking…wow….
Thats what i meant to say 😂😂
I mean, i would probably nail me to a cross ✝️
FOOL
When is Congress going to pass legislation to protect people from these and other types of scams
How could one send their life savings to someone they never met in person
How can you send money let alone that much to someone you haven't seen? And invest in something you don't know about with someone you don't really know?!! I'm astounded by the naivete & stupidity!
As soon as they ask for money, stop!
Yes, there are already a large number of Internet mercenaries on YouTube. They steal other people's accounts to make anti-government speeches on YouTube.

🤦🏻♂️For gods sake people. We all want to be in love, but be smart and responsible about how you get it. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.
It’s their own stupid fault they think they are getting laid, love, and extra cash 😂
I rather spend that money in Thailand and have fun for 2 months 😉
If you’re dumb enough to fall for a hot strange lover on the internet and give your money away without common sense then, you deserve it 😂😂
Yes, I seen girls picture all over so social media. I knew it was a fake account.
😒
The most effective thing that they can do is block all communications from Indian.
I doubt there is a one honest person in the entire country.
