It all started with a “wrong number.” That wrong number quickly turned into friendship, and then into romance. Larry was grieving his wife up 35 years who recently died of cancer. In his moment of grief in despair he found sunshine and her name was Tina. But the love... show more

Kids, check on your aging parents, especially when something like this happens to them. Make sure they don’t follow for scams. My mom gets text messages all the time and she always says why are they messaging me? I keep telling her that they are people trying to scam you
I have a tough time believing that anyone falls for this shit, for real.
Older people fall for it all the time. Seniors are prey for scam artists
So unreal in these times, after all these years, people still becoming victims of this shit.
Red flag once they mention WhatsApp
Damn!!!! That’s all I talk to my boyfriend on🤔
They go after people that are emotional. I got scammed once too.
They do they have entire systems to find people who are going through tough times and they hit them at their lowest or when their memory starts to fade
So, very shortly after his wife of 35 years passed, he jumped in full bore with an online person? Maybe I am hearing this wrong.
I don’t know how long it took but yeah he was grieving and some beautiful young Asian woman texted him by accident. “Wrong number”it seems obvious to most of us, and when he texted his stepdaughter to invest with him because he needs so much money, she started crying and told him he got scammed.
I guarantee you she studied him before messaging him. Knew his wife had died - because he posted that. This is why it is so important not to personal information on the net. Something so simple as just wanting to reach out to people in a time of grief and you fall prey to these demons
@The_Real_Bjorn1 I think they scrape obituaries. Survived my husband Larry 71 was the key
There were so many red flags here
So many. On one hand how do people get taken like this? On the other hand they are older and really don’t know these scams are out there🤷♀️
@Texas_jeep__guy Fucking boomers dude
@Texas_jeep__guy Right? Greatest lives ever had and totally naive
Seriously. Boomer couldn’t be that upset over his dead wife if he was able to be honey potted that quickly or even at all. Being half his age and married 15years if my wife passed I wouldn’t be interested in touching another female again for the rest of my life. And on top of that he could go get a studio apartment and let a growing family with young children have his home but of course he (along with most boomers) would never consider that. He deserved what happened to him
These scams are all over. This app has so many of them.
I can’t believe people fall for this stuff.
Someone stole my Identity. And they stole $5k fro y crypto account. I complained about it online and then they found me on X and tried telling me the recovered my account but would need $2k to ba able to send it. They did everything this man’s describing.
People have no idea how they prey on people during tragedy. They hit you when your home isn’t foreclosure. They hit you when your wife dies. It doesn’t usually start out with. Hey do you wanna buy some crypto
@_SmokeyGirl25 My sister believes all the scammers Fortunately I keep only enough in her checking to cover monthly bills I am in charge of her trust and POA so my real potential thefts are stopped She can’t believe people are that evil and trusts I have to constantly monitor everything
@_SmokeyGirl25 Ladies watch your husband as well. My husband fell for it. Lost $77K
Omg....people suck.
God Bless
C'MON!!!! Are you fkn kidding me?
Right? It seems so obvious, when he was a lonely, grieving man, and some pretty girl gave him attention. Oldest play in the book.
This is so awful 😖 People grieving and lonely are vulnerable. Check in on your folks regularly.
I don't care how good a person seems to be. Don't ever ever ever ever allow them into your bank account!
@cg_sands4 Someone on this platform was trying to pass themselves off as Dr Jack Krewse, a well known retired neurosurgeon who does crypto, but wanted moved the convo to telegram and get me to buy into crypto. FAT CHANCE. Scammers are everywhere, beware!
Another retarded boomer
No one’s this $tupid!
@TheFloridaMike oh dear
@AshSavesUSA Always block rando “wrong numbers.” But this guy did zero third party due diligence? Weird and sad.
Very sad, and I’m sure anyone would say it could happen to anyone. But he should have smelled a rat.
We have to educate our aging family members. So sad.
What a dummy.
Same thing happened to my dad after his girlfriend passed and then he passed. Wrong number text. Woman tells him she’s an investor and to get the WhatsApp. I intervened and told him to cease all communication when this person started talking about crypto.
You are a hero of a son and I’m so sorry. My dad has had multiple strokes and he’s got scammed out a bathroom remodel and a driveway but that was thousands not hundreds of thousands
Many such cases. Boomers are primed to believe that someone much younger and more attractive is in love with them. Their narcissism makes them easy marks for the predators.
He fell for the 'wrong number' scam?! Come on, dude. 🤦♂️
@BredsguardDalen 😔
How could he not tell it was a scam? I knew from the first text they showed, that someone was trying to reel him in.
You cheated on your soulmate. You disgust me and you got what you deserve. Dumbass.
That’s why you should always talk to your accountant and financial advisor before making stupid decisions.
How are people so idiotic to trust catfishers? Talk about retards.
I’m sorry, how can you be so gullible?
@USADocumented I hate this for that poor man. I hope something can be done but odds are not in his favor. I hope others will learn from his mistake. Guard yourself when you are most vulnerable.
@USADocumented That money is GONE. There are so many warnings for people not to fall for this but I know most people this age are not as informed. Very sad and it’s happening a LOT
![🚨Whitney Webb describes how oligarchs like Leslie Wexner are able to control the U.S. federal government: "They went to his house to [depose him]. He didn't even have to go to D.C." "He was never investigated, even when his tax attorney was shot in the face." "Look to the lengths that the... government has gone to cover... up any sort of scrutiny of [him.]" "This is something that's been going on for a very long time and routinely. I think it should be clear at this point that the U.S. federal government is not really interested in investigating white collar crime because it works on behalf and serves the white collar criminals who pay for politicians and pay their campaigns and fly them on their private jets and give them special privileges. And then the politicians, when they're in office... give them a return on their investment, let's put it that way." This clip of Webb (Whitney Webb), author of One Nation Under Blackmail and contributing editor of unlimitedhangout(.)com, is taken from an interview with Jimmy Dore (Jimmy Dore) posted to Rumble on March 26, 2026. ----------------Partial transcription of clip-------------- Webb: "Well, you know, just look at a person who was a frontman, arguably, for Wexner in related interests, Jeffrey Epstein. And look to the lengths that the federal government has gone to cover that up and also to cover up any sort of scrutiny of Leslie Wexner that— when he was deposed by Congress recently, that was the first time he was ever deposed in this case. I mean, that's insane. "And they went to his house to do it. He didn't even have to go to D.C. normally, if you're deposed as part of a major sex trafficking, huge, massive scandal of great media interest and public interest, people don't come to your house to nicely interview you, you know." Jimmy Dore: "And so— And so what does that tell you about his power? And how does he get that power?" Webb: "Well, I think he has that power because he's an extremely rich and powerful man. And I think, you know, just like Epstein, as I've noted extensively in my work on him and on his case, was linked to a lot of shady financial actors and very powerful people, including Rothschild banking interests, former heads of state, former top officials. Wexner presumably has a lot of those same ties. "And he was never investigated, even when his tax attorney was shot in the face, days before he was supposed to testify to the IRS. It got, you know, the document linking Wexner to that and linking Wexner to organized crime was destroyed by the police department— the police chief who was supposed to investigate it. "So this is something that's been going on for a very long time and routinely. I think it should be clear at this point, that the U.S. Federal government is not really interested in investigating white collar crime because it works on behalf and serves the white collar criminals who pay for politicians and pay their campaigns and fly them on their private jets and give them special privileges. And then the politicians, when they're in office, return, you know, give them a return on their investment, let's put it that way. "And the investments are bribes or, you know, indirect bribes. And actually, as I note in the article, Ohio's largest corruption scandal and bribery scandal ever. The first energy or HB 6 scandal, is tied up directly in with this group and with Wexner. It happened just a few years ago. I think the story broke in 2020, and two of the main people have ended up dead. "One of them is a lobbyist that used to work for Wexner in the New Albany company and was tied to this company, FirstEnergy, and FirstEnergy basically bribed a bunch of people in the Ohio state government to push through legislation that bailed out a bunch of their nuclear and, I think, a coal-powered power plant with taxpayer money. "And they— the amount of bribes they spent is dwarfed by how much money they got as part of the bailout. So that was a great return on investment, quote–unquote, for them. But one of the people that was arrested as part of that scandal for racketeering and other things, Neil Clark, just was found in the woods near his house with a bullet to the head. It was quickly ruled a suicide, and he used to work for Wexner in New Albany. And who do you think really wants these nuclear power plants functioning? AI data centers."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2037292970970607792/amplify_video_thumb/2037290326801735680/img/rmN3VT8dAeG69vdn.jpg)
![Mark Zuckerberg on why he prefers to recruit people directly out of college In this interview from 2005, a 21-year-old Mark Zuckerberg is asked what he looks for in a new hire. There’s two things, he says. “Number one is raw intelligence. You can hire someone who has been doing software engineering for 10 years, and if they’ve been doing it for 10 years, that’s probably what they’ll be doing for the rest of their life. That’s cool — there are some things that that person can do and they’re definitely useful in an organization and can do a lot of stuff. But if you find someone whose raw intelligence exceeds theirs but has 10 years less experience, they can probably adapt and learn way quicker. Within a very short amount of time they’ll be able to do a lot of things that [the person with 10 years of experience] will never be able to do. So that’s the most important thing that I look for.” The second thing he looks for is alignment with what the company is trying to do: “People can be really smart or have skills that are directly applicable, but if they don’t really believe in it, then they’re not going to work hard or care enough to develop the relevant experience in order to succeed. The best people I’ve hired so far have been people who didn’t really have that much engineering experience. I hired a couple of electric engineers out of Stanford to do programming stuff, and they had very little programming experience going in, but they were really smart and really willing to go at it. The guy who just wrote photos was one of those guys, and if you’re willing to just do whatever it takes to get photos out, then you’re probably more valuable than someone who is just a career software engineer.” He concludes: “Those are the things I’m looking for and why I would rather recruit people out of college.” Video source: Stanford eCorner (2005)](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2008521622441824621/amplify_video_thumb/2008498008279728128/img/8cr8ScLP0XlTiOYB.jpg)
