Victim Sends 1 Million Dollars To A Romance Scammer. 

It's funny how the _"victims"_ always choose to video chat with the most unflattering camera view angles

Do you have any new information or updates to give us on Elizabeth Likins case ? I know it's only been 6 months but some of us are interested in knowing what's going on .

What's her name ??Sad

They can do what they want …just don’t send money to someone you never met!

Face time?

You all only think is Nigerian that do scam and that’s so stupid of you

😆😆😆😆😆

Imagine that..

😢😢😢 people sad

Those guys of Nigeria are so bad and terrible...

Yes, and some of it was to pay for plastic surgery so someone could impersonate her "husband" and defraud Spanish authorities.

Loaned

It is a crime so she did lose it. Punishment is a couple years of prison.

I could think of much better things to do with one million dollars, like put my kids through college!

Agreed, it was a transaction...a business transaction. We all buy things, she purchased 'love'! 😄😁😆😅🤣😂

100%

Her husband worked so that she could sponsor thieves

Come on, let's not exaggerate

​@@Andy_0Lshe gave a million dollars away in a year to a man she never met who was painfully obviously a scammer.

@@Andy_0Lhe’s not

Duhhh.lol

And all of these people consistently say how smart they are, how they would never fall for a scam, as they hand over their banking info, SS#, everything

And several white unicorns 🦄 with rainbow tails

😂

Elle ne pensait qu'à la quantité d'argent dans le coffre et n'aurait jamais aidé un homme qui n'a rien et est véritablement en détresse financière, c'est aussi une femme intéressée

So if the logistics company* is willing to scam through plastic surgery? Sounds real honest! *The logistics company doesn't exist.

not like she didnt know what she was doing was shady.. you cant con an honest person!

In what world does that even make sense lol.

That's an understatement! Imagine trying to draft the cops and FBI as after-the-fact accessories. Ha.

@@Bongwater33 This exactly. I feel a *little* sorry for her because las Vegas is a heightened reality. When you're in show business you can have tapas with Martin Scorsese and then ride home on the bus. And Vegas is much worse than NY or Hollywood. Because even the stars behave in weird, superstitious, crazy ways. "Oh, I saw you with that red hat and that's when I hit 21 for 50k Dollars. Stay with me and be my good luck charm!" And then after three days the star puts them back into the normal world.

"I just need to know if he's really a criminal" 😳 well, the fact that he's conned you out of over a million dollars is a big hint!!

​@@MochaQueen22soooo is that a yes ooooor? Should I send him more?

😂😂😂😂

you comment made me pee myself

Last I heard she’s singing for money to send him, :))

True for many, many women.

I think being involved with someone who has to prove they are real, is not worth it.

Right???

I think I would have had to verify externally because asking is probably to easy to lie about but the sad thing about the entire pattern is that in this cycle massive lies are told to build;d up an amount of nonexistent money and many times the person is sitting outside of the whole thing because they don’t want to think someone would do such a thing to them. And many years ago probably not but now as has been said by many it could happen to anyone.

That photo of the 3 guys in the orange jumpsuits is so badly photoshopped, it looks like something a 12yr old would do to show everyone his “new job”.

But he was in a Spanish prison , do you have a heart?

And the person that scammed her most certainly blew all of the money and did nothing to improve their circumstances lol

The American dream

Literally, the white whale that scammers are looking for. Sad for her situation...but ppl have to keep their eyes open.

But wtf. All of you people's comments are so mean. All of them are about the VICTIM, and not the scammer, and most of them are negative. You people are just adding salt to the wound. Why?

It's what normal people call a fool. The old saying "a fool and her money will soon be parted" comes to mind.

Worst than insane actually 😂

Nah she is asking him to return some of the funds. Poor thing 🥺

@@tmcurly She still believes the shit that he's not a Scammer.... Mind blowing 😀

Glad I’m poor!

​@@ginaanelli9717me too..😂

Their children don’t make them feel beautiful.

Well, children many times have taken advantage of them all their life. The money grown kids borrow, they usually will never see again. When a woman thinks she is in a real relationship and in love. Is being told she is wonderful, beautiful, humorous and someone spends time just talking to her, it means more than you will ever know. They certainly dont get that from the kids even when they spent their life catering to them. Giving them money growing up and now they are so tired of being taken advantage of. They fall in love on-line and once they've sent a significant amount of money, they keep sending more because they believed in this person (and they havent been screwed over repeatedly by them...yet), and thought when they got here they would be paid back. Once they're in for a certain amount, they are so desperate to get it back they keep sending more to get whatever obstacle or circumstances there are out of the way so they can finally get their money back.

Exactly this! Or better yet, neglect to tip properly their servers/waitstaff. But funnel millions to a photo. Disgusting

Exactly…and they argue with their children about internet safety but are stupid enough to fall for this 😭

@@donnamckinley9807 sounds like you got scammed too or have crappy children.

This is just insane. Can't believe people can be so insensible. She says, "I want to know who he is" after spending her entire life savings on this person. Why not asked this question before sending any money to someone she never met!!!!

VERY DISRESPECTFUL TOWARDS HER FIRST HUSBAND YOU ARE SO RIGHT.

That’s what I thought. He worked hard and saved money for financial security in their twilight years and she gave it away. His kids have no inheritance now. Who gives someone they’ve never met a million dollars? I wouldn’t send them one dollar. They tell us to watch who our kids are talking to online but who’s keeping an eye on mom and dad? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes!! the most delusional and selfish woman in earth or just her natural stupidity?

@@raimeyewens7518 that is a very good point.

have nothing to do with trust. how its possible to beleave a stupid story like this. if she used google to search she would know its a scam!!!!

😁🤣 Right 😳🤔

That would have me bring up Red Flags instantly.

Absolutely!!!!!

That is a great point. It looks like she would at least question things more.

That goes for people you meet in real life too. So many red flags with these scammers. It’s sad how they prey on grieving people.

They usually have a bunch of women they're conning, so calling them "babe" means they don't have to remember their names.

And all just Happened in hours! All the swelling after op, and they fooled the customs? They brought in a freshly operated person god damn

Imo thats one of the most crazy things ive heard on catfished.

That blew me away that she believed that. These scammers should go legit and just write movies, break the writers strike, lol

Scamfish. The newest spy thriller.

What ???😂

Seriously! I bet even they were amazed she was stupid enough to send hundreds of thousands of dollars to them. More than once I might add. Sheesh !

Didn’t they just!! Let’s just say they will never have to worry again about money!!

She gave away her dead husbands money he worked hard for.... she got karma

Right. Good for them.

I Seen Others on Dr phil. 2 of them Has sent over a million dollars to these scammers. & One completely dis regaurded Dr phi's advice. She did not listen to him. & Sold her house. She had nothing left & now has to go back to work. She is penniless. I do not feel sorry for these victims. If they are so desperate for love to send a Million they deserve it. Look At me I am special needs & I had special ed classes. But I don't go throwing my money away. I know better.

Right! If anyone gets my money, it will be my children, not some guy on the Internet.

For the first time, I suspect some of these stories are scripted; this one is way, way over the top.

The older I am, the less I feel sorry for the people. As terrible as it sounds, but majority lives the life they picked and deserve. Yes, it’s terrible that she get scammed, but in other hand, she hasn’t been thinking about anything but herself. Even with this virtual “guy” it was always the money that was foundation of their relationship. And when everything went downhill, her first question was: “where’s the money?”

@@robertburke1486 yes - I have felt this at times with this channel too, but people never cease to amaze me...

Yeah I kinda thought that too( that money was for your kids to inherit also )

@@teijaflink2226 right

I couldn't agree more!!! My money is for me, my kids, my parents if they should ever need it, and my pet fish (food and bottled water for their aquarium).

Facts

Agreed! I feel no sympathy for her.

@@michelleshocked2010 BOTTLED WATER!? Lady, have you never heard of Prime? Just chemically treat normal tap water.

Desperate woman for any MAN!!

Hard to have sympathy for her

I actually felt more empathy. She seems like she was left entirely alone. The children have no made her a part of the family. If they knew this was going on they could have protected her and the money, but they left her alone. If they felt entitled to it they would have kept her in their life. It was HER money to begin with. End of story. But if they were expecting something after she’s gone, money to be left to them, they shouldn’t have left her alone.

Proving singing doesn’t require intelligence or honor.

​@Soaring_Seajay .... I understand that, but it made me wonder, if they were a**holes why would she feel bad at all that nothing went to them? Why does she only feel bad now that its all gone?

And on some therapy, if she sent this fool a million dollars

​@@kdeloris2225, I think her therapy bill would exceed a million dollars.

​@@kdeloris2225at a free clinic.

I think she spent it on cosmetic surgery 😳

or a plane ticket to whereever he said he was

Her late husband

You can imagine what his kids think of her.....

It's Moira Rose!

Exactly

Exactly.. funny how they take her situation as seriously because she's famous but everyone else they clown and don't try.. oh well

I mean, technically, I’m not sure any laws were actually broken - wire fraud, maybe? Possibly?

Right. This woman wasn’t a victim. She was a volunteer.

She really wanted the 700 million.

@@RedPilledReyes Not today, Mohammad.

It is such madness that a part of you just cant believe it. Its just not real. It cant be real. How can anyone be this stupid?

He manipulated her. He didn't just asked he played into her grief and vulnerability and gained her trust big difference.

Hey can i get $10k? I promise it's not for plastic surgery😅

Sometimes it’s better not to expect someone sending you 700 million $ 🤣🤣🤣

.......Love is blind...it's easier to judge from the sidelines...🤔until you find yourself in such a situation.. It's human nature...Love can cut both ways...So I'm sure her husband and children understand it... because true Love is unbreakable. AND WE are here to learn and i think she did ❤

​@@ButterflyMarijnso dumm kann liebe nicht machen.... das ist keine Liebe.. einen mann geld zu schenken ,den man NIE gesehen hat...das ist pure dummheit

😂

It’s amazing how these scammers “packages “ never seem to take a direct path to their destination.. they zig- zag to multiple countries 😂, and every stop there’s a hefty fee to “process “ and clear customs. 😂😂😂 I’m surprised UPS hasn’t caught on to this lucrative gig. 😊😊

LOL yeah really!!! I would have said- just pay for the shipping out of that cash in the safe you're sending me! That letter quoting package delivery service 1-2 months $20,000 or 2-3 weeks $40,000 or 3 days for $140,000 is laughable! you could BUY a 40 foot shipping container and ship it across the ocean cheaper than that!!

I could just see those 15 year old scammers huddled together trying to figure out how much she would be stupid enough to fall for. “yea let’s go for the 140,000- sounds bout right”😂😂😂😂 they had her figured out by then, this had to be in the top ten lucrative one story scams of all time 🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely crazy story . WTF 🤷‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

😂😂😂

I’m weak 😂

😂😂😂exactly

I thought the same thing! I pictured the scammers saying Yooo it worked!

It's like If she falls for this dumb story she will fall for anything and they definitely hit the jackpot with her 😁

Horn dog old woman

The bible

But it looks like, theirs father left them nothing. 😮

In the US that would buy you wifi for 4 months.

And do they ever wonder why someone would send a stranger $700 million?🤣

75,4360.00 One-bedroom apartment outside the city centre NGN 340,000

​@@Unchainedfuldo you really pay 250 $ per month to get Internet?

In portugal 1000€ buys 4 years to 8 years of wifi or mobile wifi. Its about 10 to 20 a month.

Fathers a jerk leaving nothing to his children everything to an idiot

she is jew what dont u get

I hated that part about the kids getting nothing with the fake tears and all the hoopla she did.

Somehow I figured she wasn't the one who actually earned this money & therefore didn't value it as much as she should.

She get what she deserve. Should have given kids the money.

1.5 millions to be more precise ! 😮 And ya, I agree...

Good advice! Also, don't make a stranger's problems your problem.

Good reminder! We must always remember that!

Absolutely! Real men don't ask for money from women.NEVER!

This silly woman was still hoping he was real even after taking all her money.

@@rt66vintage16Big disagree to that one. If the Nazis arose once again in Germany, the entire world would wish to involve itself to stop oppression like that. Stranger’s problems can definitely be anyone’s problems.

Easy come Easy go as they say

Some of the money had to be hers since she sang backup for celebrities for YEARS....

That man is rolling in his grave right now!

​@@dollhouseq1530she says it's money he left her....do you know what Inheritance means?

@@TrailsJunkie Do you know what she worked as well means? Im sure she blew the inheritance and her own personal savings as well

@moon-moth1 hypocritical answer! If her late husband was so bad who cares what she does with her own money! Think!

All she had was greed

The truth is not always stranger than fiction . I guess reverse psychology, the story is so crazy that it’s got to be real.

He figured as much work as she’s had that she’d fall for it. And she did.

No, on par with this are the ones that present the victim with a suitcase that contains a bunch of white paper strips and claim that they are chemically treated monetary bills that can be "treated" to turn them back into "real money".

Do you know the time stamp where the video mentions plastic surgery? I must’ve not paid enough attention. I even read through the transcript & can’t see any mention of plastic surgery, but several ppl have referenced it in the comments. I’m so curious of how plastic surgery is involved in this crazy story! If anyone knows the time stamp pls share! Thank you ☺️

@@taxusbaccata9200 🤣 wow, never heard that one before

Yes!

They deserve a bigger platform

I've said this for years, too! MTV is kind of the Jerry Springer of catfish investigation. It has a time and a place but....yeahh😂

FR if Nev truly cared about helping people or exposing fakes, he'd be glad there's this team working hard for non-MTV ppl. Not "waaah they 'stole' this word that everybody uses now"

I tried watching Catfish, but it's silly. A fun turn off your brain show, but it is fake as can be. Wooow, literally every episode ends up with a wild plot twist, and most times the catfisher is someone the victim actually knows, that's crazy. In reality, it's usually just a random guy in Nigeria. But that's not as exciting.

i learn tat from these few videos and they think that i m mental or low self esteem.

A bit? Nah. Completely totally stupid.

💯

Totaly agree. Greed plays a huge part in the stories.

He was even good looking……

Mostly greed

I don't think he was good looking. Rather plain actually. When I say 'he' naturally I mean the photo owner.

Careful careful!! she IS the "most beautiful woman" this guy EVER saw!!!!! yeccch!!!

For real!

I became friends with a gentleman who seemed like a scammer because his location would change a lot, lots of photos from around the world and his job was security and kinda secretive... Come to find out through my catfish digging skills he was head of security for a massive Metal band. I'm still friends with him 6yrs later.

Pretty sure right after selling she said she moved into the Trump hotel….so sending money to scammers who will not use the money as they claimed is a repeated mistake.

i heard her catch herself when she said that... she probably remembered something that happened in the 70s and was like well, it wasn't as stupid as that ONE time

She sold her house, yet he couldn't sell his mansion??

Surely Trump hotel is really expensive compared to renting an apartment?? I don't live in the US. Wondering how someone with no money can afford this

Please don't settle for someone who won't even visit you.

I think they intentionally run obviously bad scams just to gage how stupid a potential mark is. Once they have the sucker on the vine, they know the sky's the limit.

I don’t think they was taking that part seriously and was done with it at that point, so they just wanted to take the mick, but she ended up believing their joke

@@nolagospeltracts8264Yes! The reason the stories are ridiculous is the same reason that those emails from Nigerian princes have bad spelling and grammar - it serves as a kind of filter to guarantee that anybody who responds is going to be stupider than average, so they don’t have to waste time with people who will realize it’s a scam.

Not in any office but probably in some internet cafe crowded with the syndicate gang members 😠

Well it worked 😂

😂😂😂

Busy ghost 😂

Good for you 🎉

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I "lent" $2,000 to a boyfriend - a real in-person relationship - I had been dating for a year. This was in 1995. I broke up with him the next year but I never saw the money again. I NEVER forgot this and didn't do it again.

@@donnagelina8548 The mid 90's was the worst in my life for being scammed in person, I lived in a houso complex that had some shady neighbours, the upper class conlady sold me jewelry, crystalware bric a brac for total $10,000 over 6 months, a sleazy horse race gambler borrowed $2300 (unpaid)

She did gave it away. She didn’t lose anything but her husband’s hard earned money who she claims that she loved.

This woman is a half wit. It’s a ridiculous thing to do.

It's sickening all right!!!

Damn,wonder what type of relationship he had with his kids?

Firstly you don’t know he left her everything. Believe it or not, but what he left her sounds like a portion of inheritance - people at this level don’t just have a million dollars only 😁. She might not have anything to do with the children but I highly doubt he didn’t leave them money too

Reminds me of Anna Nicole Smith. She looks like she was much younger than her husband.

She did not feel worthy. That's why she threw it away.

​@@JaimeMesChiensbecause she described it in great detail multiple times throughout the video

I agree. And to be as well off as they were. I have yet to meet my other half and I'm almost 50. I have 0 pity for her.

Lost my "significant other" of 30 years suddenly about 2 years ago. Lost him, lost his income, lost the car (I'm rural, so no public transportation!) and, significantly, totally have lost myself. Your comment is the same that others have told me, BUT, superficial and lame platitudes do NOT change my current circumstances OR the way I still feel now, which is complete and utter devastation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😪😭💖

​@@talirakerouac3248Hugs from another widow ❤️

​@@talirakerouac3248 I am so sorry for your loss of your precious Husband darling. Gentle hugs and love to you at this awful time. Honestly I don't know what I would do if I lost mine. 💗🕊

I can get sending 60 or less, but I won't go as far as 100 or more if I was in a vulnerable state of mind. Though they wouldn't get any cash from me period.

Sitting here listening with my mouth open in disbelief. ..crazy crazy

I am in total disbelief. This story just stands out.

What’s interesting about that ?

@@rock3786 KARMA!

After watching a number romance scam videos, no ridiculous story is crazy enough for these desperate lonely woman to stop sending money. They will crawl through the proverbial sand, for a few “I love you’s” “will you marry me” “I’m coming to you” “we’re going to live together” from SOMEONE THEY’VE NEVER ME. My favourite: “the US army doesn’t feed me” “I’ve been kidnapped by pirates and need the ransom” “customs is holding up my suitcase of diamonds and you need to bribe the agent.”

I think some of these people are really entranced by the whole "story"...they think they are in a James Bond movie or something!🙄

😂😂😂

The part that did it was the photo of the safe with gold AND cash after asking for wifi money..

"Your husband" not even boyfriend. To play on her psyche and her wish to become his wife . They're good!🤦🏻‍♀️

"Her" money. You don't want to be accused of misgendering her! 😂

@@janeentumbao8690 It was her husbands money, so technically it IS "His" money 😄

More money than sense. Sorry no sympathy.😂

Work is a wonderful antidote to grief and passes the time and you get to earn as well. I speak as a working pensioner.

It is sad and counter productive to compare yourself and to have a position of what could look like entitlement. Have you ever thought that you have it so much better than 1/3 of the ppl on planet earth that do not have access to potable drinking water? What if someone pointed a finger at you to victimize themselves while making you out to be a villain just bc you have access to clean water/sanitation AND have it so good that you also have access to a computer. In comparison, you have it so much better.

@@tanyachefreality is subjective

Lmao I just said the same thing.

@@tanyachefwell for one she didn’t send a million to a stranger then tell the world about it, so I suspect there are many snarky yet true comments in here. I think that’s a fair comparison she is clearly not struggling when many families are & just one of those amounts even $1,000 could have been life changing to a family in need. Have you been romance scammed yourself? Is that your beef? You should contact the show 😂.

@@murphy1011 YOU get my point. It could be argued that it is a privilege to have subjectivity to reality.

Lol for me, not since summer 2019 😂😂😂

Same for mine. Since the quarantine 😫

😂😂😂

She’s their stepmother, not their biological mother. And the father left nothing for the children. Why the word gold digger pop into my head?🤔

When I heard that, ALL my empathy went out the window. Lol, those kids must be livid

He should have chose them over her, his fault!

They should be angry at what their dad did...not her. Stepmoms a fool, yet their dad left it all to her, and none to them.

@@moosehead1183 yes I can’t imagine his kids talk to her and if they do they’re a bigger person than I could be. What a slap in the face. I’ll never understand why people choose to not leave anything to their kids unless they’re like truly awful people.

These men are from West Afrcia they use a lot of witchcraft to make their victims stupid. It s not normal that so so many people fall victim for this.

Someone in Nigeria bought a house and probably another citizenship with this money. Insane spending spree.

Hit the Vegas jackpot without even going to Vegas! _(9/6/2023)_

I think the fact she worked in the entertainment industry for so many decades kinda skewed her perspective. Though you'd think she'd understand the recovery time for the level of plastic surgery (multiple procedures) required to alter someone's appearance, and realize it wasn't exactly feasible to do this to get a shipment through. I'm sure she was super sheltered. One of these people who depended on the agents and managers to take care of logistics and requests. Remember, her heyday was the era of big concert tours and massive, long-running positive cash flow. Stevie Nicks is still rolling it in, I am sure. This lady was adjacent to all that, plus I bet her husband handled all the finances and budgets. But yeah: that's what I was thinking. HUGE jackpot. None of this "gonna sell my trailer and get a payday advance on my disability check" like many of the marks who only get taken for $20K or so.

One day when you know REAL grief at losing the real love of your life, married over twenty years, thirty years, forty... THEN you can sit on your high horse.

@@themudpit621- nope sorry this is just not using common sense. Don’t send anyone money….period! Problem solved.

Start dating women in their 60s and be a good listener

Great comment, Isa 😀

My husband and my ex boyfriend where the only men who have gave or spent money on me. But I didn't expect anything from men who I wasn't committed to either

I understand why you made your comment. But, as a psychotherapist I have had many intelligent clients whose brains went off line from grief. The most wonderful thing she could do is help other women not be conned like she was.

Yet she gave it all to a 20 something nigerian. It’s crazy

Exactly.. so sad.. not even 5%

It was the husbands fault that the kids didn’t get anything in his will. He should have never left her the entire sum.

@@Originalman144 He might have thought she would divide it. My parents house was left in my sisters name to make things easier and we divided it (along with a 3rd daughter from a previous marriage we did not know about #drama LOL)

​​@@Originalman144 exactly. If you as a grown man didnt makes sure you left a portion to your kids. Totally his fault. Obviously "D" was more important to her than saying oh wait. I better give them their whatever amount first . But maybe there was a reason. Not all kids are good ones

She’s not intelligent and neither are her friends. Water seeks its own level.

My guess is They probably did, certainly her kids must have said something, it was their money that was being squandered.

I have a suspicion that Christine McVee "dropped" that cash in front of her because Liza was going through something and needed money. Her rich friends probably helped her a lot and got tired of it because Liza never learns.

​@JaimeMesChiens I think her rich friends are paying and supporting her now.

Probably has none 😂Jesus

This one was huge , worst case I have ever seen on this channel , everything is horrible.

He’s not a widow he’s a widower one-off the many red flags
