I saw this woman Angie on the Dr. Phil show yesterday. She's been having an online boyfriend for over a year and had already sent him $175,000 in money for various reasons. When she calls him on the phone, he first asks, 'who is this speaking', and only when she identifies herself, does he continue with the conversation.
He told her he was from the UK, but he's really in Nicaragua. He said he owned a big construction company, but from the photos shown to her, he had never worked at that company even. Dr. Phil had his investigators look this guy up. He was on ten other websites, when they were warning that he was a scammer.
She asked him to send he a copy of his ID and passport, they both had conflicting information and different signatures. The photo of his passport showed that his hair went up beyond the square of the photo. When all these things were pointed out to this woman, she remained in denial, and found excuses to defend him.
Her son was the one who brought her to the show, because he knew his mother was taken for a ride, and he couldn't talk sense into her. He agreed to appear with her on the Dr. Phil show to prove he was innocent of any scamming. So, she of course, had to send him $1,000 for the plane ticket. Well, surprise, something came up and he had problems getting on the flight.
Then he agreed that the show could call him, and he would appear via telephone. She assured Dr. Phil that he would answer the phone...well, he didn't, even after a try from her personal cell phone. At the very end of the show, Dr. Phil asked her if she was seeing the light about this guy, not being who he said her was, and just scamming various women online for money....she said she still had faith, and wasn't sure he wasn't sincere.
Anyhoo, Dr. Phil just shook his head and begged her to at least, not send him any more money. She said she didn't have much left, and probably wouldn't. Her son was very frustrated with her, he thought she would wake up with all the evidence the show provided. What's with these people?????
