Woman Sent Social Security Checks In Romance Scam! 

Please help my mother

My dad passed in Oct, in Nov she said she met a gut online, at 1st we were happy for her. But, then my 18 yr old daughter caught her taking pics of visa gift cards and said she was sending them to him. Here we are after numerous fights, my mom trying to stab me after I caught her sending more money, I have receipts for about 8,000 at this point. That I know of. We have screenshots of the conversations of theirs as proof of the transactions.

We googled his picture, it came up as a singer in Spain, a jorge sanagustin, though the guy she says he really is and matches the pictures goes by a "Levy Adam" with multiple fb profiles

Also, under those multiple fb accounts with that same photo, comments under said he's a scammer

I've showed her all the fb profiles, all the comments, even the jorge sanagustin persons ig, fb, tiktok, etc she says her bf "Levy" says ppl stole HIS image and he'll get it fixed when he gets home.

I was a military wife for 25 years even if you have a dishonorable discharge they fly you home

and how do you get stranded in California? Id think you could at the very least rent a car or go on cheap tickets 🤣

Yup... as a service member (I am not one, so this is more what I see from the outside), it seems that that is the only thing the Govt is reliable to the Military about, is this.

@@brianred8until you retire and need post war therapy

My first husband was flown in from Cuba several times. My second was flown in from overseas several times and picked him up at the local airport. Both Marines. If they have a plane flying in from anywhere you can get a ride. At the least they will fly you to the closest airport in your home state.

Ma'am...🥴🥴🙄

A person who sends their life savings to a picture on the internet is the definition of stupid.

if the shoe fits, lace that bish up lol

She must be exhausted!

her entire life has been exhausting if that's the case! LOL

😂 Love the analogy

or giving your toddler the car keys and telling them to go to the shops

Good one!!!

Especially Tinder!!

Tinder is literally the worst dating app for any normal human being

And then says, "She believes everyone she sees on the internet." Daughters, WTH were you thinking???!

@@tinaalexander8719 exactly 💯

Her daughter need take some accountability too imo. If she knew her mom was gullible, she shouldn't of had her signed up on dating site or at east educate her on scams first still

I agree. I find it weird her own daughter encouraged her mother to join Tinder. Talk about pushy her into the lions den. That back fired.

Well, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The daughter is not one of the brightest either.

Can't get any better than that! Also, I too love movies! ❤️🎬

“Did you eat today?” “Yes, I eat every day!” #soulmates

I like food. I like movies. Let's get married!

The depth of that connection made a big impact on me too...😁

@@englishwithviviana You are just jealous, lol.

@LifetimBetweenTh… Um nothing wrong with meeting someone on dating site just me careful n diligent I know couple folks of different ages have met their spouses n been happy so it’s not for everyone yea times have changed

I’ve seen this lady before

I think what would be better is to educate older people about these scammers. And to teach them to be critical and to look for signs. Because sometimes they're not even trying to online date when they get roped in. They just get a message on FB or something. It's a shame really

My husband’s 60 something friend met his age appropriate, wonderful wife online. But he is educated and worldly so he would never fall for a fake profile of a young scantily dressed woman with large breasts.

@@BudduredToast Yup, an older friend of mine almost got roped into a romance scam because she friended someone who messaged her through a Bible/uplifting quote group on Facebook. When she shared the texts between them, I was able to warn her before she went down the rabbit hole. Pretty educational on how the scammers draw people in and get them to reveal info, though.

It’s freaking INSANE

What makes you think that she is sane? She’s a friggan loony tune who wants a man to take care of her so she doesn’t have to get off her couch

EXACTLY!!🙄

Typical

Maybe they met in school and were high school sweethearts. It didn't say they were married that long that they were together that long. What's scary is comments like yours. 🤦‍♀️

13 isn't high school lmao What's more likely is that this man was a predator and isolated his child bride. Like they did a shitload back then. It was normalized because older people thought to protect shitty men instead of little girls ​@@PamMinnick

scary because they still together until he died?

@@PamMinnick no the original comment was right on the money. She’s only been with one person since she was 13 years old. She never explored or anything. clearly doesn’t understand how the Internet works. doesn’t understand there are people out there who are going to hurt you and bleed you dry until you’re useless to them. That’s what scary.

@@mc1069 ⁠You're talking about a literal child at that time. We had public school for way longer than 40 years. Enrollment was mandatory for most of America since the 20s, all after Alaska joined the union.

Nor do these chiselled hunks need old, obese, worn out dish-rags!

All of them it seems

How does one eat food with an Apple gift card? (I know they sell it for money, but "send me an Apple gift card, I don't have food" hardly makes sense.)

Having personally purchased dozens of Amazon gift cards for Marines guarding our posts for the holiday, I can confirm, there go tos are protein powder and junk food 😆. I’m always amused when I run into them in the halls and they thank me simultaneously for protein powder and whatever their favorite snack is. It always strikes me as such an odd combo, but as long as they’re happy.

Timothy would never look at her twice.

​The homes were located in Kentucky..

Most Americans are bad at geography lol

That picture is not Kentucky. It’s England.

Right? Same.

not if u actually LOOK 62.

Indeed

I just turned 59 and I get lots of attention from nice looking younger men in person. But they're never wealthy! 😄😄😄

@@ferraroannie4058like NEVER!!!😂

They knew and that's why they called the show. However, they were hangen on to hope that these people are real because they invested time and money.

@@Frugal637that’s what I was gonna say. Hope will do a lot of things to people.

No fr tho like they’re so afraid of looking stupid after they realize they fell for it, they just act like “oh well I knew.”

@@Anon12077I mean they called to the show so there is some doubt ya know

yea right

Wait, hold up, you breathe in oxygen and expell carbon dioxide too? We're soulmates. Let's consummate our relationship with apple gift cards and Bitcoin 😂

She ain't drinking no water, she be drinking that Kool Aid! 😂

sooo.. do you like... stuff?

This comment made me laugh so hard! 😂

And only their middle age online babies can rescue them.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

And I bet she just loves and supports the military 😂 Yet she knows nothing about it and how it works

And it's always misfortune after misfortune

Look out for the pirates ☠️. They need money to row their boat ashore 😅😂

Be careful! I feel like there might be an explosion today on the rig....

😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂

Haha!! 🤣

No Sad But STUPITY!!

spend time with her grandchildren.

She's definitely into self-improvement, education and deep insight 😝

Superb advice!

Some women don't want to or don't know how to be without a man and it's sad

@@TheJalesa1207 Whether she wants to or not it is part of life and there is no guarantee that your marriage will last as long as you do.

😅😅😂oh man

Yes he can come on private jet 😂

@@obscurum6​​⁠​⁠Nope you’ve got it wrong . Johnny Depp had a car crash when he was driving to the airport so he could go to meet her . He’s now in hospital and needs money for medical bills . He can’t access his bank as all his money is ‘frozen ‘ in his account as he’s going through another nasty break up and they had a joint account . The press doesn’t know about the break up yet . He also has a young son who is being looked after by a friend. His son desperately needs an Xbox . So please can she send some money or send the XBox . His son loves her so much and already calls her ‘Mom ‘ . Johnny will pay her back when his account is no longer frozen . He has a billion in the bank and will treat his Queen so well. Also can she send Johnny’s lawyer 100k as he can issue papers for a marriage licence so Jonny can marry his Queen .Johnny has sent his Queen an engagement ring with the 50k his Queen sent him. Did she get it? ( It may look like it cost $10 from Amazon but it’s not from there )

😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂

Also, as a European, Im baffled by how ignorant Americans seem to be about Europe. These people whom are trying to bail people out of hospitals, customs, countries etc etc are stunning to me. Most European countries are well developed wellfare states with rigid institutionalised regulation based on human rights and liberty. Most have free healthcare and direct service to American insurance companys. No need to bail anyone out of a hospital or like. Jeezez…🙄 And for beeing jailed, The US has the strongest protection via Embassys all over Europe. This is jus crazy level of ignorance😵‍💫

and pay with gift cards lmao

Yes, you might as well flush your money down the toilet.

They buy guns.

@@a.jlondon9039 no they don't I have been to Africa and those scammers are living good off stolen money they build houses and drive around in nice cars and they are young boys. These people need to stop being so delusional.

@@a.jlondon9039I imagine to take over existing property.

@@a.jlondon9039they gotta store them somewhere bud

I watched a docu on the rings of scammers in Nigeria and surrounding areas. In this particular ring, there were a room like a call center full of people. Men and women. They only typed. They were the ones in charge of finding the person who is likely to give money. Once money starts flowing, the victim then is passed off to another group of smaller scammers. These are people that have access to IT people, to send fake credentials, fake websites ect.. Then if a victim sends big money, on this night it was 10k, then they are passed off to a room of only 5 people and those 5 people work on that one person to get deeper in their pockets. This was a network of over 300 people and getting paid by commission. The last room of people are called "The Closers". The woman filming the docu at the end was saddened by the stories the scammers were coming up with. They live in a country that is poor with no jobs or hope. So her ending commentary was talking to young Nigerians age 5 to 10 all with goals of becoming football players or soccer players but they all knew what their first job would be in a matter of just a couple years and that is the first call center. She lost the purpose of exposing how these rings worked and ended up being suckered by the scammers. In the "closer" room, they all had thick gold chains, rings on every finger and nice clothes. All funded by lonely naive people with more money than sense.

and why don't people do a basic reverse image search. I picked up 5 fake profiles/possible scammers in a local community group I'm in just by doing that.

There was no need for a reverse image search.. And any American citizen who doesn't know the military takes cares of soldiers, seriously has to be mentally challenged. I'm sorry if that's harsh but it's true; I mean that's why people join the military in the first place.

Sounds like they both sadly were very very naive

He's in Ireland. He must be on his way to visit me. I just have to send him the plane fair.

Ha, Shakira and I are laughing at these losers….

💀🤣🤣🤣

I was with Taylor- kinda surprised she wanted to hook up with a guy in his 50s like me, but she told me that she's FINISHED with Travis now.

Even if birthday was only 1 day apart?? 🤔🤡

If they knew she was so gullible why did they set up a tinder profile??

For real fed her right to the wolves

Since it’s called tinder the daughter must have thought the site sold tins of chilli, meatballs and macaroni. And was just fixing her mother up with her favourite hobby

I know an older woman who has hook-ups via Plenty of Fish, another hellhole. Wouldn't surprise me that the daughter thought Tinder was an improvement over PoF.

@@dashopepper You are absolutely right about POF- that was my experience; even after making it clear I only wanted to meet men in my immediate geographical area, I was getting comments from "France" and NYC!

He's not out of her leave it's vice versa

Not only her heart is big

The daughter never should have given her tinder.

Didn't the daughter recommend the dating site?

​@@rbspider Yes! But she didn't think that her mother will fall for a rommance scam.

Daughter is old enough to know tinder is hook up site.

@@arfriedman4577 like out of all dating sites?? she chose to put her recently widowed mom on tinder 😭 a disaster waiting to happen.

Lmao

Also willing to guess this woman is a virulent Trump supporter

If it's tennessee. More than likely. A trump voter on top of that.

@@kifacorea. Keep politics to yourself😡

She's got a big heart.,? Looks to me like she has 'big everything'.. Hasn't missed many meals, has she. 😂

Have yourself a stray dog or a stray cat! They'll love you forever!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗

how can anyone profess to love somebody they've never seen in the flesh - it makes no sense. It takes years of going out together to develop love.

The whole family seems to be a bit on the unintelligent side…js

I literally said the same thing 🤣

I don't use dating apps, but I heard TINDER was a "hook-up" app. Isn't that true? idk

@@looking4things669same here. Way too old and partnered for too long to ever use it, but I’ve always heard the same - it’s for hookups not dating.

​@@looking4things669 it is indeed. The vast majority of men, and a lot of the women, on there only want to hookup.

INSAAAAANE!! Like giirrll 😭 God that would terrify me!

Especially when "Timothy" is warning her about how unscrupulous some of his soldier buddies can be in stealing his identity once they got hold of his iPad. /s

To a person she had never seen on camera or in person!!! I didn’t join my bank account until I was engaged 😂

It's just APPALLING she would hand out personal information to a stranger like that!

@@devadii24 Even many MARRIED folks have separate accounts! Be careful! I was married to a man and we shared an account. I had to leave him (abusive) and he DRAINED THE ACCOUNT OF EVERY DIME!!

LITERALLY!! like if you knew why did you send money and fall for it anyways?? 💀

That’s just the typical American way. When proved stupid, deny, deny, deny.

That's a lie! She said she wanted to prove he was real!😅

Wish theyd call them out when they say that

@@serv-on that would be hilarious, honestly 😅

Very true. The world isn’t a kind learning space for a new widow.

Like how he was going to Islam? I guess those analysts need to be out on the front line and get that whole religion.

Same

She mumbles . Her daughter is easy to understand

Turn on subtitles

I’m from Asia and I hear her clear as day 😂 then again, my partner has a country mumble accent.

None of them do. I wonder if they ask them to position it like that so they look worse

I was looking for this comment 😂

That’s the famous boomer nostril camera angle. This woman is probably gen x but with major boomer energy

Haha tbh I don’t think they have a good side ! So proud of their chins !

I just wish these woman would wear a bra

I would never do that for somebody that I do know either!!

There is people i've met that i wouldnt give $1 haha

So I can't feel sorry for someone who is BEGGING to be scammed! I mean, what did she think a total stranger was gonna do with her social security number & birth certificate?! My boyfriend of 6 years doesn't even have that information on me

@@rikki1960 I wouldn't do it for someone I know!

Most normal people wouldnt. Have to have something seriously wrong to stay in a relationship that doesnt exist except by phone and one where the other party asks for money. Crazy….

Yea and the ‘victims’ aren’t !😂

Zactly BIG red flag

This is why scammers will never use my pictures 😅

I know you never see one like 300 plus pounds

The people in the photos are not the scammers.

Same!

Actually, I have seen and experienced this a lot. Someone from outside the family who is perceived as any sort of authority on something (even if they really aren't) is often believed before someone inside the family.

@@patpeifer7871It’s the same thing in business. I’m retired now, but I remember several times in my career where mgmt ignored their employees recommendations and opinions, but were happy to do whatever expensive consultants suggested (even though it never ended up being better than what they were already hearing for free).

Her daughter was really struggling not to roll her eyes when her mother said she's not stupid. 😬

I seriously doubt it. It is over for her. Be realistic. It is saying these kinds of things that gets them fooled.

That’s definitely the UK.

​@elainech6387 I visited London in 2008, where my brother lives, and I saw this type of houses, anyways I knew before this trip how a British house looks like from pictures and movies.

It's in Manchester, UK & it was hit by a tornado last December!

It's a house in Birmingham, England, tragically destroyed in a gas explosion before Christmas. This media photo was stolen to prop up the scammers lie about Syria, but it doesn't fool a lot of us!

​@@alienblackgoo_gle It was in Birmingham 2005. This picture is from the scene in Birmingham.

Maybe she meant Islamabad?

Will venture to bet she​ doesn't know that city exists, let alone where syria is on a map@@lillexus5589

​@@lillexus5589Probably not, she don't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed. She apparently believed there's a "California airport" like the whole state only has 1 🤨

@@JaimeMesChiens Yes but she said Islam, not Islamabad. I can honestly say I know many people here in Tennessee who had the same life (early marriage, baby factory) and several didn't even make it into high school, much less graduate - too busy chasin babies and grandbabies all their life to worry about the world.

@@lillexus5589you know she didn’t mean that lol.

Exactly. I just want to know what they fantasized? Going out with this good looking guy and they’re waddling next to them with no bra and unstyled hair and baggy t shirts?

Hey, you like money? I like money, too!

😂

yer what the hell was she thinking? and that house was blatantly obvious not in Syria

Or a guy who’s on the street without any food or housing.

@@mayav927 oh you know they're NOT about to do charity!! 😭

Of course they wouldn't. They don't think people should just get something for nothing 😂😂😂😂😂

They wouldn't. I guarantee it. When my department closed after 26 years working for the same company, my sister, who I thought was my best friend, suggested I go to the food bank.

Indeed

YES! But he’s real this time

People make the same mistakes. Over and over...

No, the new guy's name is Bent or Max Moose or Shelves 😅😅😅

Max Moose Advisor! My dream man!!! ❤️

it seems flattery makes people open their wallets

Errrrrmmmm, what the hell does her weight have to do with anything?! Grow up! That's a playground thing to say.

It's absolutely baffling, yes. I can't feel sorry for these women - they are just too stupid. I mean, these men saying things like "hi beautiful" - unbelievable, literally.

Didn’t your husband have to pay to get out of the military when he retired?😆

Actually uncle sam doesn't treat its soldiers well

Service people get 3 good meals a day, except on Sunday where they add an extra meal, brunch for those who want to sleep-in Sundays. My husband says the food was great. My father was a cook in the Navy and would cook for us on weekends. You never have to pay to get out of any service. They even fly you home when there are planes going near your state. My husband was flown to Atlanta and we picked him up. Was about 35 miles from our home. There’s no excuse for a service person to ask for money.

@@MsMedfordIt does . Maybe after they’ve come out of the Services they aren’t treated as well as they should be . Many have mental health problems including real PTSD ( not the fake kind ‘ I’ve lost my handbag and now I’ve got PTSD! )

As a soldier of love stationed in Nigeria I can guarantee you that's not how it works here my queen.

😂

🤣🤣

And a house in QC 😂

And a vowel from Pat Sajak.

😂

Then it is the state you are living in. She lives in Indiana and houses here are not that expensive.

@@cicilg no shit lol

This ain't gunna end any time soon to many future widows on the horizon

No wonder so many older people get stuck in dumb conspiracy theories too.

And she’s 57…Not that old

@@paisleyprincess7996omg…I missed that. I am not far from that age and thought she was in her early 70s.

​@Itried20takennames my Nan's older than her and knows better. I don't see my Nan joining any dating sites after her husband dies, but I've warned her about the other types of scams like if someone calls pretending to be me or my sister to hang up and call us herself, or if they call claiming to be cops and needing her to pay off a fine w/gift cards to hang up.

She's a mother, not an alcoholic.😂

It doesn't have to be that way, but it is for her

@RoseRaines. Where did you see that information?

She doesn’t have any thinking skills at ALL.

@@lildee2626 her age and the length of time she was with her husband and the age of her children. It is called Maths.

I’m from the UK and I was like wth 😅

It was obvious to me that that house was not in Syria. It very much looked like a house in the UK without even looking it up.

So Mexicans have a good grasp of geography? Cool! Another reason I love them I guess! I also love their food ❤

Although they got it wrong too. It wasn’t a fire in Birmingham in 2005, it was damage from Storm Gerrit in dec 2023, Greater Manchester.

Apparently not : (

Much more than most of these folks have for sure.

@@peggypetrone3401The problem isn’t Tinder specifically. Anyone who watches these videos knows that scammers are on all the dating sites. They could have set her up on Christian Mingle and the same thing would happen.

​@@peggypetrone3401They didn't scam her. It is wrong to blame her family members, all the blame goes to scammer and Angela.

Oh yeah, great family! 😂 Please! They're the dumbasses who suggested Tinder ffs 😅

So sorry this is happening to good honest hearts. Come to Jesus He will never lead you wrong

FAt, pasty and unattractive be honest!

The big heart excuse is often a coverup for ulterior motives, such as a big cash payoff down the line, promised by the scammer. Or it is based on over-evaluation of one's assets and the desire to snag a gorgeous hunk.

The one in a million odds of hitting it big, is a whole lot better than betting on this guy to marry her and buy her a house.

Buying a scratch off every day is a lot less expensive than giving all your money away to a scammer.

I was in a shop and a man bought a scratch card . He went to the side and then shouted out loudly ‘Yes’ . Then he started crying . He’d just won 100k. He was a builder and he hated his job as his boss was very nasty to him . He phoned his boss and quit . He said the first thing he was going to do was take his son on holiday . It was a lovely atmosphere in the shop .

Hey, don't be hating on scratch offs lol. I've actually won $40 before

She doesn't go to the gas station.

😂😂😂😂😂

Whats your favorite food?

"Do you live with your family?" Cos they want people to be isolated.

Yessss!

I actually got this line from a guy that messaged me. I picked this crap up by playing a cute little game on FB. So in the middle of planting my corn, I get the message "Hi!". And while single, I have no interest of dating anyone online. But thought, this could be interesting. After two days he started in with the queen stuff and have you eaten? I figure, it is time for me to make my move so I say, "Hey, I know we just met but we seem to be soul mates! I have a trust with about 500K but I need to move through getting the estate settled before I can tap into my money, can you help me? After a long pause and I am about to hyperventilate laughing, he said how much? I said 20K. He immediately had to go back to work. Hehe. After a couple days, he messaged me again wanting the paperwork to prove what I said is true. I said, well know I am in serious trouble. I borrowed 10K from some really bad guys and they are after me, can you help? He said he thought I was playing him and has never messaged me. I got my son to make all my FB private so now I am enjoying planting my garden without any disturbances!

@@islandgal500 Such an interesting story. Thanks for sharing and take care of yourself.

@@maxrebo8455 Thanks! You too. I really feel for these people who are desperately searching for that special someone but are naive enough to be duped out of their savings.
