Wow. That is such good advice: never tell a person your life story until you meet them in person -- thank you for saying this -- it is such a great key to safety.

You narrate the stories well 👍 I have learned so much already from your channel- don’t ever leave youtube ❤️

Thank you for advice about blocking and reporting Scammers. As a victim I am glad that I blocked and reported the Scammer as soon as I found out it was all a big lie. Keep up the good work.

I pray for this women, that she finds the happiness she deserves .

[starbrn]

I feel really sorry for this woman. She tried to commit suicide because of these scumbags? That is awful. To the woman, if you ever happen to read this, you ARE worthy of love, TRUE, real love. Build up your self esteem and be happy.. you deserve it.

Hi there William,
I'm so sorry to hear this. What a terrible story.
I think that this lady is strong to tell us her story. I hope she finds what she is looking for. Take care lady and thank you William xxx 💝

Good advice. And the ironic thing is that a lot of them like to use the name "David" or some derivative of that. Not really sure why.

Another pattern is that they often use two first names, maybe because they don't really know which family name to choose. One scammer was using the handle "Dennis Fawaz", a/k/a "Fawaz Dennis" a/k/a "Fawaz Dennis Buruk" a/k/a "Dennis Buruk", the latter being a famous Turkish heart throb actor (Buruk Deniz) ☺️🤣. When asked about why he kept switching his name around he gave a bunch of ridiculous excuses. If your Spidey senses start tingling, pay attention 🤨

If someone on a dating site or anywhere on the internet wants block them. If everyone would do that they would stop.

Thank you for sharing. I feel bad for her. Hope her story will help others.

Why would A DOCTOR have a patient's flight information?

[tracyjones]

Lord I hope she gets help before she gets involved with anyone else.

Ladies, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER give money to a man!!!

[sophiejune]

I think getting therapy is a good idea too if you're having a hard time moving on from a scam or if you have trauma in your past.

Number 1 rule in dating, never give a man money 💰, 2 scrutinise why he can’t ask anyone else who can help or his other connections

[deborahlewis]

Like other women I learned the hard way and trying to get my life back as well it's not an easy way either

[brendaross]
