My mom was scammed. She sent $35, 000 cash. Fortunately she called you right after dropping the package off at UPS and you was able to retrieve it after it left the bill. These people are the lowest of the low, what you and your team is doing is a real blessing. THANK YOU STRONG WIDGET ! P.S. my mom had several scam calls since, but now she enjoys playing with them....hoping she ll get more calls. Maybe she will join you someday in the Peoples Center.

These *Strongwidget* need to be shared with any and everyones grandparents, elderly, or those who could succumb to these scams. Its sad that people like that exist God bless you for exposing these bastards and raising awareness so people are more vigilant and careful with their hard-earned money. I am an American and honestly, my blood boils when these stupid scammers try to scam innocent people. Keep up the good work on the internet.

I lost everything during Covid. Well I say everything, more financial and house etc. I still had great health and drive. Four years later I’m bouncing back. Just started a great job with guaranteed bonus. I can see the light. Good luck to everyone.

My blood went cold when my 80 year old mother called a couple weeks ago saying she had a virus on her computer, but she called the number provided and spoke to a nice Indian gentleman to get it fixed. Luckily he sounded fishy enough when he started talking money that she said she wanted to talk to me first. He protested that so hard that she hung up in frustration. I sent her some of your videos as mandatory training. Thank you Strong Widget for helping to protect not just the general masses... but specifically my mom!.

I am a police officer and I am tired of taking these reports where people are scammed anywhere from $700 to seriously $150, 000. Its unfortunate that I have to sometimes tell them that I cannot do anything to bring them justice. (at my level at least) Seriously thank you *Strong widget* for fucking with these assholes. You make me want to spend the next 10 years learning how to do this lol

[NiambraGregory]

Bless your heart Strong widget. Its SO sad how the scammers prey on the people and the uninformed public.. Bless you and all others who fight against these crimes. Its horrible how mainstream media is not doing the right thing by shining light on these things to help the public.

[AdreeneStevenson]

Man, this one hit me in the heart. She reminds me of my aunt, who is an incredibly giving person and donates more than anyone I know. Sometimes her kindness is taken of advantage of, and it makes my blood boil. Thank you guys for saving her $980, 700. You dramatically changed her life for the better. The scammers dont stop after 1 success. Thank you, thank you, thank you *Strongwidget* You guys are heroes to me. I am just so happy this dudes is coming back stronger than ever and i cant begin to express how excited i am for the future jobs. i love these guys so Dearly

Yeh I got done out of $30, 000 ETH by scammers. The Commonwealth Bank of Australia denied any and all responsibility. Love seeing the scammers run scared. *Strong widget* Keep it up.

[JovanicheMills]

Thank you for shining a light on these deceitful scammers who tarnish the reputation of my country—a place filled with talented and honest individuals. As Americans, I hope we can find a way to make amends for the damage caused by these shameless fraudsters. I also wish our government would take stronger action to bring them to justice. Stay strong, *STRONGWIDGET* may the force be with you!

[MarvianaGreer]

I am from America . I am really happy to see your work to expose people like this on web and make awareness among people. I havd already shared this *STRONG WIDGET* to all my foreign friends and ask them to share to others. Thank you again please keep the good work. Thank you again.

[RamonaWard-lbty]

*Strongwidget*, this is SO GOOD!!! I have such disdain for people who lack empathy for hardworking individuals. I LOVE what you said— there is no room for hate, but that doesnt mean you have to like them either. I am SO GLAD you showed up just in time to return the funds to their account. This is why I watch your videos, and I couldnt admire what you do more. Thank you for protecting innocent people. Thank you for reporting criminals. Thank you for doing what all of us would do if we could. Keep fighting! Much love

I started over at 40. Lost everything and 60 k in debt.
With some help, hard work and following the baby steps I’m worth just over a million at 50.
You can do it! A comeback was my goal. Best of luck!!

[Flockko]

I paid off all my credit cards today 🎉🎉🎉

A marriage can make or break you. Be careful who you pick.

40 is young. You will be fine. Keep going. I was the same, and immigrant, and solo parent. Keep going. You will be proud of yourself. 😊

[TimelessWealthMentor]

I know it feels really hard when you are in the season, but 40 years old isn't too bad. I started over at nearly 50 as a single mom, sold my house and moved back into a rental after owning for over 12 years; I had debt of about $100K (sold my house to regroup and partly pay off the debt)...today, nearly 5 years later, I own a house again, zero debt and an investment portfolio that is growing... You will recover and do well. Cheering for you!

[legacyofhoperesearchsociet]

Went through the exact same thing 30 years ago. I'm fine now at 70. Wealthy beyond measure..

Jade is an absolute favorite of mine. 🙂She knows how to be empathetic and realistic at the same time.

[jeffkline]

I’m proud of you Mathew! You had every reason to give up but you didn’t. Time to get angry and bust this stuff in the mouth. It needs to be behind you. You got this!
