For all the commenters calling her stupid, etc. For this and other crimes; please stop blaming the victims. These scammers are extremely adept at knowing exactly what to say and do. Yes some people are desperate, but they are desperate because they never had the love they needed; it's no excuse for others to take advantage of them.
Oh we are suppose to feel bad for them i feel bad for their i had no clue
I had a scammer once i said before he had chance to ask me for $ i said hey favor can you borrow me 5.000 i behind on my bill. He blocked me fast
Are we suppose to feel sorry for these woman they keep giving out all this $$$ and dont stop
I sorry no man ask a v woman for $ especially a stranger. They have no clue. I had scammers geeze i laughed i said no why would i . If you have no money your fault. They block me onto some else. I have no sympathy
Crazy
She explains why she made the first payment but doesn't explain why she kept on making payments to make it add up to 100,000 dollsrs. A little dose of reality is needed. She is an older rather unattractive woman. She should be very lucky if she finds somebody and then it will be somebody normal and unremarkable and hopefully who lives local to her. There is a sense of pride in that she thinks she is going to catch some dreamboat. These people need to face reality.
I kinda of feel sorry for her, I’m not going to comment on the obvious elephant in the room.
03:45 yeah, I don't think Rebecca needs to worry about being a "one-night stand" or a "notch in someone's bedpost"
"You’ll have to do…what you have to do."
If you land £100.000 to a person you’ve never met…this is what you’ll get.
What kind of an idiot sends a stranger $100,000?
AI will now help the scammers generate original photos not found on the Internet.
Onlyfans models often promise sex for money. This should be illegal too
invest your money into the gym and loose weight
100k 😂💩 I couldn't give that $ away if I wanted to
She claimed to be a " Nursing Student ' and needed a little help financially- also helped with shipping cost for a Gold Inheritance. Erica Boateng is a scammer …. John
People- I'm John. I was involved with a woman " ERICA BOATENG ' from Accra Ghana 🇬🇭 AFRICA 🌍
It turned out to be such a case….John
"I'm gonna be really smart about this." Loses $100k. How does that happen??
still smiles at his accent, the problem is in her head
Why is Western Union at fault for this?
Desperate FOOLs
No sympathy. People have to stop being stupid. Have enough self esteem to NOT pay people for love. Have enough self esteem to look within yourself for love. Understand the joys of being alone. When people ask for money start by saying "NO" .
the biggest scam the devil ever dyd was convince erry1 he dydnt exist. this woman is an absolute idiot an should be ashamed of herself. desperate tymes causes for desperate measures. keep your poccet books an leggs closed ladies.👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
What a bunch of idiots!!
I don’t have $10 to send to anyone I’ve never met nevermind $100k. Just block and report. Never entertain these people. Better yet, just stay off dating apps. They are a complete waste of time.
truth she is not a one night stand
No online dating if you cannot meet in person forget it !! Absolutely no no money !! Don’t give up your money NEVER EVER !! Don’t fall for the words they are Professional!! I
If the scammer claims he was Australian with an accent, then she should be able to tell whether it's sound Aussie or Nigerian. Watch more foreign movies, and TV shows. I used to watch Aussie TV drama Pacific Drive and I know what Paul Hogan sounds like. Then I watched some Nigerian shows on VCR for fun. We have to broaden our knowledge. Tiny little things small details that you could realized something is wrong, and get out of situations as soon as possible. Is ok to date online but when people start asking money then you should be able to determine if there is irregularities and stop.
I’m curious to see his picture. I bet you he was totally out of her league.
These days older generation people are getting lonely . Then just are falling for such scams
There was a lady on "600 pound life" whose a romance scammer
I was once addicted to someone. Instead of sending him money I sent him socks.
