  1. She's just dumb as rocks. I can't…..🤣🤣🤣🤣

  2. This was hilarious who gives money to a man in a van

  3. Tell them to call Sleepy Joe next

  4. Real good financial advisor they got working at the Times.
    😅😅😅

  5. Ive only read about scams like this a thousand times. She is an advisor? 😅😅😅

  6. I just got scammed 1 billion on osrs this makes me feel so much better in comparison 😂

  7. People trust these “experts” with their money and wondering why they’re losing money 🤷

  8. Just goes to show a couple of things. 1. It still just takes a bit of common sense to avoid this crap. An unmarked van will pull up to your house, put $50,000 cash in the van? Give me a break! 2. Most of these financial experts, influencers, etc. are no better than the guy in the mail room that "knows everything there is to know about radon gas in the home, or real estate investing, or the best stocks to buy".

  9. Lmao.
    Duh they
    stole it. In a waiting SUV?

  10. likely made up 😂🤣😅

  11. Rich people are dumb .

  12. This sounds like a typical run-of-the-mill phone scam. Frequency of these types of scams always ticks up around tax return season.

  13. I have no words at how stupid you gotta be to get scammed like this

  14. 😅😂😅😂😅😂 what a dumb hooker! Fire her.

  15. LMAO!! what a dumbass… this been going on since 2009. Does she look at the news? lol

  16. ABC News, can you level your sound volume to normal, good microphones are cheap nowadays

  17. I'd like to know what the Joe Biden administration has done and continues to do for the US since he took office? I have the answer: he closed the Keystone gas, oil and coal pipeline, which brought more than 10,000 direct job losses and thousands more indirect jobs. He opened the US border and caused a significant increase in the number of illegal migrants, bringing many criminals such as homicides, drug dealers, increased deaths from overdoses like the drug fentanyl, possible terrorists, homeless people, trafficking in child prostitution and other terrible things. Joe Biden supported abortion indiscriminately, he supported transgender people playing with women under the same rules, he supported daycare, he supported children as young as 5 being told about sexual activities, and today, Joe Biden has not been able to reduce the cost of food, gas, utilities and other essentials for US citizens. It's unbelievable how much good Joe Biden and his administration have done for American citizens. Only good things.

  18. If they have all that information let them withdraw the money themselves!

  19. im sorry to say this, but why would you give money to a guy in a VAN?!
