So I noticed that on the floor 53 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.400 was face up the Tarot card the Lovers, like it 54 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.560 had fallen out of her deck or whatever, and she 55 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:04.319 had already left. So I was like, oh no.

She fell for. 148 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.480 I bet Brad's girlfriend was upset about that. 149 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:40.480 Brad doesn't need to Brad's girlfriend does not need to 150 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:41.000 know about this. 151 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.840 The victim then received messages in ai photos from fake 152 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:51.159 Bread for a year and a half, like poems, and 153 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:55.480 they even he even sent her a marriage proposal. He 154 00:08:55.559 --> 00:09:00.200 started asking for money, but saying that they'd send or 155 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.720 luxury handbags if she paid for the customs bill. 156 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:04.879 Oh my god. 157 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.399 Eventually, if she's just married to a billionaire? 158 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.559 Oh she was married to I don't know, I don't know. Well, 159 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:14.639 here's the story. Eventually, fake Brad claimed he was hospitalized 160 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:20.279 for kidney cancer and needed money for treatment because his 161 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.080 bank accounts were frozen because of his divorce with Angelina Jolie. 162 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:25.000 Oh cheez. 163 00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:29.759 The woman even received emails from a fake doctor that 164 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:33.399 said Brad was fighting for his life, so she transferred 165 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:38.240 money to a Turkish account. She realized last summer it 166 00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.879 was a scam when she saw photos of Brad with 167 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:41.840 his girlfriend. 168 00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:45.279 M H, how cold Brad do this to her? After all? God, 169 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:47.399 I'm heartbroken for this woman. 170 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:51.080 She had to be hospitalized for severe depression. 171 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:53.440 Oh man, she says. 172 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.639 I asked myself why they chose me to do such 173 00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:01.320 harm like this. I've never harmed anyone. These people deserve hell. 174 00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.279 It's unclear if the scamera was ever caught. 175 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:05.000 Probably not. 176 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:11.440 This kind of stuff keeps me up at night. I 177 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.840 get so I'm so mad about people that do this 178 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:18.399 to other people, especially people who are older. People who 179 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:23.679 scam people out of money and and and target people 180 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:29.600 who are older. That just makes me enraged. So I 181 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:34.000 did a little studying and I found the top scams 182 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.559 of twenty twenty five and what to watch for and 183 00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:38.840 what to do and what not to do. Because I 184 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:51.320 currently have an acquaintance who believes, she knows she thinks 185 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.960 she is speaking to Kevin Costner. She talks to someone 186 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:54.799 on the phone. 187 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.360 Or she does. Does he have Kevin Costner's voice? 188 00:10:58.480 --> 00:10:58.759 Yep? 189 00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:00.559 Have you heard it? 190 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.679 No? But she says, she goes you know, I've watched 191 00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:07.320 all his movies and he has you know, he has 192 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:13.240 a distinct voice and it's him. Maybe, I said, these 193 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:22.120 days people can create AI voices, images, anything, videos. I mean, 194 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.240 like she claims she talked to him on FaceTime.

A romance scam starts 256 00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:27.080 with a text or a private social media message. That's 257 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:30.799 what happened to me on WhatsApp. Some dude named Casey 258 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.919 sends me a message and says, and a picture.
