yes there are plenty of victims who got scammed multiple times, they ignore and lie to their family and just go back for more because basically they are paying for attention and flattery that they will never get otherwise.
And have him kindly let her go by breaking up with her gently then there’s a chance she might cling onto another scam pretending to be Chris evens or rayan Reynolds 😩
@@llow261 No, there's a lot more to it than just being forgetful. People with dementia are often belligerent with their loved ones and refuse to admit that they are losing a grip on reality. But I also agree that there have been young people scammed as well, but mostly for similar reasons, they are belligerent and ignore the red flags because they want to believe that they are smart. But let's not overlook that there are a million red flags for these so called "victims", and they deliberately choose to ignore them because their ego won't let them behave rationally.
0:55 "She is 65, a married mother of two" I had to go back and hear that again... she's married and expecting to go on trips with Reeves and marry him ? I've watched a number of these type scams of people (Both men and women) falling for this nonsense and stunned that these same folks sound and appear lucid and aware of their surroundings, are in fact utterly delusional. I'm trying to feel sorry for this lady, but I'm bewildered by her ignorance and complete disbelief that she's been had by an imposter.
I'm back dating after decades and meeting these types. Some may have been on this planet the same number of decades, and maybe have had "normal" (I've had adventures!! and change!!) but they have learned NOTHING, for what ever reason. Then age/dementia/alz/illusions set in, and they're done. Cops and the husband...where's the husband??? "married"??
Just as bad for young people. I was horrified to hear about young people using dating sites to get drugs. The internet can be a blessing but extremely dangerous for young people and elders or people who are vulnerable.
A Japanese woman was convinced to give up $30,238 for a 'Russian astronaut' on the space station who needed money to get back to Earth in promise of romance. I did not make up this story.
"Maybe Keanu should walk in the door and tell me he didn't do this." Funny thing is he would if asked. I don't think he'd have a single problem helping her to understand. Unfortunately, I don't think she can. I think she's ill and needs professional intervention.
Even if the real Keanu told her it was a scam, she wouldn't believe it. Because the scammer is filling a need in her, for attention, for someone to text with who is flattering her.
true. it doesnt matter that its him, its the dopamine hit she gets from the interaction. she's hopelessly addicted but also shamelessly ignorant - so shameless to actually go on a TV show to pitch her delusion

Omg,that’s just really tragic ,I’m 74 and I’ve been single for over 40 years ,i don’t get lonely ,I don’t have a boyfriend,I don’t want a boyfriend I love myself ,I live in an assisted living facility and have fur 7 years now have on,y a few friends two are men (friends only)and the rest are women and they are employees here,I’m a retired nurse,so I get along with the staff on our skilled nur unit on the 2nd floor ,we have a lot of very gullible elderly people here ,I’m glad I’m not one of them ,I pity this poor woman .
I’m starting to think that people who get scammed by these love situations deserve it because anyone in their right mind knows that a millionaire and billionaires do not need you to get gift cards. It’s annoying at this point it’s 2024.
Keanu is a very rich actor, and has been in a relationship for years, he doesn’t need any gift cards or is interested in a random, older woman in society! What is wrong with people’s minds!!
My best friend mom killed herself last March because of this type of fraud. She lost over 750,000 in 3 years. . It made Québec news and hundred of people who parents and relatives were victim as well reached out to my friend. In Granby Quebec, An investigation is ongoing. We need to push legislations to change the law so we can protect our seniors. We need to change the law so we can support our relatives victim of fraud.
😢how sad. My parents who are in their 80s have been almost scammed by someone posing as my cousin. Thankfully they had the idea of calling my aunt who told them my cousin was doing pretty well in his life. I hate those scammers people 😒
Tell your friend I'm sorry for their loss, if that doesn't feel awkward. My 22yo brother killed himself in 2017 because of a sextortion scam. The last time we spoke, I told him he couldn't move in with me. I'll always wonder if he would still be alive if I had told him he could stay on my couch
I’ve talked to ladies going through this. This lady gets a lot of attention from the scammer and she loves him so she doesn’t want to believe it could be possible that he is lying to her.
Definitely grounds for divorce. I hope that the Mr has her committed, then divorces her, kids disown her and she can be alone with all the voices in her head!😂😂😂😂😂
my exgf would cry and tell you that there's no such thing as emotional infidelity and that you should respect her right to hug and spend time in house of her exbf cause they support each other emotionally. XD
When I was in middle school, there was this girl that used to ride our school bus who thought that one of the pop stars of the time was in love with her. She would write him letters all the time. She was totally convinced that eventually someday they will get together and get married. She was delusional and bizarre. I’ll never forget that girl. So sad.
Alz. and dementia (and a LOT of nervicular issues like MS) are non-linear: they develop extremely slowly, it comes and goes. this case is pretty OBVIOUS, but the money is also obviously GONE.
They always have ridiculous excuses that make sense to the victim. Like “my manager handles all my money and doesn’t want me to eat too much and get fat” or “I’m getting divorced so I can be with you and all my finances are being looked at by lawyers so I have to keep you secret” etc.
They tell their targets that they "got locked out of their bank account" or some such nonsense, and the fools are so willing to make their fantasy a reality that they'll believe ANYTHING.
Dude, I knew this was some kind of b.s. scam even before watching - because _I'M_ the only one buying the _real_ Keanu all his gift cards. And I know that one of these days soon, our in-person meetups will stop getting mysteriously cancelled last-minute - because he's an honest man... Who's fallen deeply in love with me, by the way. (All by text, of course. 👍)
@@mahkuntizitchy2083 Inconceivable!!! I know my man's heart is true... _I alone_ take care of all his giftcard needs... He says he loves me, almost as much as his new yacht... And one day I'll even MEET him!!
Okay ladies, that's all fine and dandy. Just as long as you leave Elvis alone. I've been helping him out since he faked his own death in '77. Gosh, we've been corresponding for years. BTW, he's 89, alive and well, and has been living under an assumed identity in Michigan. Oops! I've already said too much. But you gals best stay away from him, ya hear?! 😉
Even if Keanu Reeves was sitting there telling her I'm not the one talking to you. You're being scammed she would still not believe it. Stupid is as stupid does.
That won't work. There have been catfish victims on Dr. Phil who came face to face with the real people behind the photos, and they still didn't believe they were being scammed. She knows she's being scammed, but she's enjoying the fantasy and danger too much to quit.
I think these woman has gone so far that she probably knows she's being scammed but to admit to herself how foolish she's been is too hurtful so she has to keep going
I saw someone selling a truck on Facebook. They wanted me to send them gift card numbers and then they would deliver the truck. I laughed and laughed and laughed.
Please dont give anyone your account and personal nuumbers. Dont send money to strangers or people that say your wealthy. Its a scam. That lady is in denial. Very sad.
Yeah, her kids/family should seriously think about taking away her car keys and credit cards/checks. The elderly and/or mentally incapacitated can do a world of damage to themselves and others She's probably wiring her retirement away to this/these fraudsters.
If Keanu’s representatives actually came out & said he does not have social media, how does she still believe he’s communicating with her through social media? And didn’t they say in the beginning that she’s married?
That’s exactly what I’m saying about this absolutely and utterly INSANE AND DELUSIONAL crazy old lady! 😂 I’m sorry, but what on God’s green earth would EVER make her think that Keanu Reeves would EVER even look at her in ANY romantic way even if they were to ever meet in person? Does she not own a mirror??
Remember that the only way we can fight against this is to spread the word. Talk to the old people in your family to make sure they know about these scams before they happen.
That’s why we put mom into a retirement home, made her bank account a joint account and transfer most of her money into a separate account for her bills. She fell for an email scam and couldn’t wait to tell us how she was going to get a ton of money from a Nigerian prince. There’s got to be a way to protect these elderly people.
No famous person will ever reach out to be your friend on social media. Not ever. NEVER. Fake scammer accounts always will. If lonely people prone to delusion, like this woman (who is lonely while married) would keep that as a mantra in the forefront of their minds while on the internet they would immediately block fakes and save themselves a ton of grief, financial hardship and wasted time.
I have many celebs on my fb.. tho they don't ask me for money unless its a charity type thing... something legit. although I did sent most of the friend requests not the other way around. most celebs are on social media.
@minimaladjacent The point is, as I said, they did not reach out to you. Most people follow their favorite celebrities, if they have any, it is not the same as a celebrity requesting out of the blue to follow you.
I work at a library and we have a ton of computers that older folks use to check their email and they fall for things like this. It’s so sad and frustrating. I hope I’m not like this as an older lady.
if that what it takes to save others from the same fate, so be it! self-awareness never hurt no one and if throughout her life she's chosen to not take it, then she had this coming! people don't get cray-cray overnight. it is a path chosen and a trodden over a long time.
@@inglestherightway I feel sorry for anyone in your life who has issues with their mental health. Your judgment & lack of compassion probably makes it worse for them. I’d even venture to say that you probably give people mental health problems. Because that’s what attitudes like yours do to people.
Not so much ridiculed. I look at that and feel nothing but empathy for her. It’s clear she’s not all there. She does need to be cut off from her finances, if that’s even legal. But, ultimately it’s her money and she can give it to anyone she wants. I have seen guys give their whole paychecks to strippers when I was in the military. So, it’s just a variation of that. But, with technology. Sad stuff.

Her husband is now a local chapter president of _The Keanu Reeves Fan Club_ with his new office next door to a divorce attorney. 😳
Wait, married? And her husband is OK with all of this?
I’m starting to think that people who get scammed by these love situations deserve it because anyone in their right mind knows that a millionaire and billionaires do not need you to get gift cards. It’s annoying at this point it’s 2024.
100%
And she's cheating on her husband
You think keanu spends his time texting a 65 year old woman asking for gift cards? Lolzz
"It's just something he does" oof 😬
Keanu is a very rich actor, and has been in a relationship for years, he doesn’t need any gift cards or is interested in a random, older woman in society! What is wrong with people’s minds!!
Point is No normal actors would ask ordinary citizens for gift cards period. Scammers use them to sell.
What mind?
Isn't he married to an older woman?
He has a slightly older girlfriend I think
Keanu is 59 years old
Some one needs to take her computer away....😮
And her brain...😮
Good idea. Why would she need a 🖥?
@@yvonnecooper5004 I know a LOT of people who need tech. taken away. And they're from 11 to 111.
he can afford trips to europe but needs a $20 walmart gift card for groceries until the next matrix movie
I empathize with people who are scammed, but not with those who are delusional and totally detached from reality.
Why? Crazy people need love too
My best friend mom killed herself last March because of this type of fraud. She lost over 750,000 in 3 years. . It made Québec news and hundred of people who parents and relatives were victim as well reached out to my friend. In Granby Quebec, An investigation is ongoing. We need to push legislations to change the law so we can protect our seniors. We need to change the law so we can support our relatives victim of fraud.
😢how sad. My parents who are in their 80s have been almost scammed by someone posing as my cousin. Thankfully they had the idea of calling my aunt who told them my cousin was doing pretty well in his life. I hate those scammers people 😒
It is not limited to seniors. There needs to be a mental health diagnosis designation and treatment developed.
Never worth killing yourself over money.. so pathetic.. the poor woman!
Tell your friend I'm sorry for their loss, if that doesn't feel awkward. My 22yo brother killed himself in 2017 because of a sextortion scam. The last time we spoke, I told him he couldn't move in with me. I'll always wonder if he would still be alive if I had told him he could stay on my couch
@@twistedlinguistic7347my sincere condolences 🙏
A judge would rule her incompetent
This happens far too often! Some folks should not be on social media or the internet. Period!
I’ve talked to ladies going through this. This lady gets a lot of attention from the scammer and she loves him so she doesn’t want to believe it could be possible that he is lying to her.
She is a MARRIED mother of two? What a delusional cheater! (Emotional infidelity is still infidelity).
Definitely grounds for divorce.
I hope that the Mr has her committed, then divorces her, kids disown her and she can be alone with all the voices in her head!😂😂😂😂😂
Her husband must be proud as well as her grown children.
Her husband is probably a POS or a completely unremarkable person for her to hold onto this fantasy because her life is so pathetically empty.
She obviously isn’t happy in her own life
my exgf would cry and tell you that there's no such thing as emotional infidelity and that you should respect her right to hug and spend time in house of her exbf cause they support each other emotionally. XD
When I was in middle school, there was this girl that used to ride our school bus who thought that one of the pop stars of the time was in love with her. She would write him letters all the time. She was totally convinced that eventually someday they will get together and get married. She was delusional and bizarre. I’ll never forget that girl. So sad.
Wow...middle school...that is scary and obvious sign of something wrong...
Even at that age, I wasn’t that dumb!
She showed up on CZcams.
It’s time to shut these scammers down on Facebook and everywhere. They are attacking the most gullible and destroying families.
A very very wealthy famous person asking a not very rich regular person for money?
That alone makes it absolutely clear that the woman is a dupe.
Maybe she should be checked for dementia
Alz. and dementia (and a LOT of nervicular issues like MS) are non-linear: they develop extremely slowly, it comes and goes. this case is pretty OBVIOUS, but the money is also obviously GONE.
His net worth is $340 million dollars & he needs her gift cards?
maybe his net worth is made up of all gift cards 🤣😂
They always have ridiculous excuses that make sense to the victim. Like “my manager handles all my money and doesn’t want me to eat too much and get fat” or “I’m getting divorced so I can be with you and all my finances are being looked at by lawyers so I have to keep you secret” etc.
The Heart always seems to overpower the Brain.
They tell their targets that they "got locked out of their bank account" or some such nonsense, and the fools are so willing to make their fantasy a reality that they'll believe ANYTHING.
I believe his net worth is now $340,005,000 😂
there's no shortage of dupes, both male and female.
AI is going to take this to another level… so sad
It already has. How do you think the scammers were able to spoof Keanu's voice?
Dude, I knew this was some kind of b.s. scam even before watching - because _I'M_ the only one buying the _real_ Keanu all his gift cards.
And I know that one of these days soon, our in-person meetups will stop getting mysteriously cancelled last-minute - because he's an honest man... Who's fallen deeply in love with me, by the way. (All by text, of course. 👍)
Ya, give it up hussie, he's all mine! In 2 month's i've sent him fourty-eight thousand dollars! So there, he loves me more, so does Clint Eastwood.
@@mahkuntizitchy2083
Oh you ain't takin' Clint, too!! Back off - you homewrecker!!
@@justinklenk Forget it! He's already proven to be quite astute to the "backdoor shenanigans" i soo greatly admire!
@@mahkuntizitchy2083
Inconceivable!!! I know my man's heart is true... _I alone_ take care of all his giftcard needs... He says he loves me, almost as much as his new yacht... And one day I'll even MEET him!!
Okay ladies, that's all fine and dandy. Just as long as you leave Elvis alone. I've been helping him out since he faked his own death in '77. Gosh, we've been corresponding for years. BTW, he's 89, alive and well, and has been living under an assumed identity in Michigan. Oops! I've already said too much. But you gals best stay away from him, ya hear?! 😉

I'm all in favor of the government working to safeguard against consumer fraud, but how is it supposed to safeguard against consumer stupidity?
Even if Keanu Reeves was sitting there telling her I'm not the one talking to you. You're being scammed she would still not believe it. Stupid is as stupid does.
It truly isn’t stupidity, but utter and total insanity!
Too bad Keanu can’t go face to face with her to tell her the truth, Keanu is so kind he might just do it!!,
Unfortunately, in this case, don’t think that would help her.
That won't work. There have been catfish victims on Dr. Phil who came face to face with the real people behind the photos, and they still didn't believe they were being scammed. She knows she's being scammed, but she's enjoying the fantasy and danger too much to quit.
Up to stalker dangerous behavior
Impossible - Keanu already promised me that we'll soon escape together to a small private island!
I can even show you the texts!!
Yeah, I thinks she’s too stupid for it to help.
I think these woman has gone so far that she probably knows she's being scammed but to admit to herself how foolish she's been is too hurtful so she has to keep going
To find out this way that he’s been cheating on me is just too cruel!😔😭
I saw someone selling a truck on Facebook. They wanted me to send them gift card numbers and then they would deliver the truck. I laughed and laughed and laughed.
Please dont give anyone your account and personal nuumbers.
Dont send money to strangers or people that say your wealthy. Its a scam.
That lady is in denial. Very sad.
Yeah, her kids/family should seriously think about taking away her car keys and credit cards/checks. The elderly and/or mentally incapacitated can do a world of damage to themselves and others She's probably wiring her retirement away to this/these fraudsters.
It sounds like the most excited thing that has happened to her and she is not willing to admit how sad reality is.
If Keanu’s representatives actually came out & said he does not have social media, how does she still believe he’s communicating with her through social media? And didn’t they say in the beginning that she’s married?
Do these people who are being scammed ever look in the mirror?
😂
They have to possess a fair bit of narcissism, along with the stupidity. The scam could not work otherwise.
You know there are people out here that are suffering from serious cases of delusions of grandeur.
😂😂😂!
That’s exactly what I’m saying about this absolutely and utterly INSANE AND DELUSIONAL crazy old lady! 😂 I’m sorry, but what on God’s green earth would EVER make her think that Keanu Reeves would EVER even look at her in ANY romantic way even if they were to ever meet in person? Does she not own a mirror??
Aw jeez… she needs to speak with a doctor, not a journalist.
How exploitative!
Keanu needs gift cards! He needs to call his mom!
These victims would believe that a white horse painted with stripes is a real zebra.
Of course you can't show up in person if you must prevent a bomb from exploding on a bus by keeping it above 50 miles per hour.
You, sir, raise an excellent point.
I mean, it's either that or he's learning kung fu...
But a very compelling argument. 👍
@@justinklenk or time traveling
@@FarmerDrew
...or undercover surfing w/bank robbers...
Remember that the only way we can fight against this is to spread the word. Talk to the old people in your family to make sure they know about these scams before they happen.
I freaking cackled. Leave her alone, and someone tell her I need a gift card too. 😅
Some people should not be allowed access to the internet.
That’s why we put mom into a retirement home, made her bank account a joint account and transfer most of her money into a separate account for her bills. She fell for an email scam and couldn’t wait to tell us how she was going to get a ton of money from a Nigerian prince. There’s got to be a way to protect these elderly people.
There is a way. 🔫 *click clack*
No famous person will ever reach out to be your friend on social media.
Not ever.
NEVER.
Fake scammer accounts always will.
If lonely people prone to delusion, like this woman (who is lonely while married) would keep that as a mantra in the forefront of their minds while on the internet they would immediately block fakes and save themselves a ton of grief, financial hardship and wasted time.
CASE BY CASE!!!
I have many celebs on my fb.. tho they don't ask me for money unless its a charity type thing... something legit. although I did sent most of the friend requests not the other way around. most celebs are on social media.
@minimaladjacent The point is,
as I said, they did not reach out to you.
Most people follow their favorite celebrities, if they have any, it is not the same as a celebrity requesting out of the blue to follow you.
userkk5 I hope you're joking. No celebrity is going to slide in your DMs because you are irresistible to them or they need gift cards.😂
@@cbeautifulworld11 NOT TRUE!!!
I work at a library and we have a ton of computers that older folks use to check their email and they fall for things like this. It’s so sad and frustrating. I hope I’m not like this as an older lady.
"He's always romantic."
The romance: "Hey babe I love you kisses send gift card"
Rrrrright 🙄🙄
Hes chasing a 65 year old woman 🙄🙄
WHAT'S YOUR POINT?
He is not the crazy one.
Funny thing he turns 60 in Sep🎂
He still turns the women on!😮
Who looks 75. Which means she is probably not well. Sad.
*Not only is she being scammed, she’s also being ridiculed on TV. Do better.*
No way! Keanu is in a relationship with me 😂
if that what it takes to save others from the same fate, so be it! self-awareness never hurt no one and if throughout her life she's chosen to not take it, then she had this coming! people don't get cray-cray overnight. it is a path chosen and a trodden over a long time.
@@inglestherightway I feel sorry for anyone in your life who has issues with their mental health. Your judgment & lack of compassion probably makes it worse for them.
I’d even venture to say that you probably give people mental health problems. Because that’s what attitudes like yours do to people.
Not so much ridiculed. I look at that and feel nothing but empathy for her. It’s clear she’s not all there. She does need to be cut off from her finances, if that’s even legal. But, ultimately it’s her money and she can give it to anyone she wants. I have seen guys give their whole paychecks to strippers when I was in the military. So, it’s just a variation of that. But, with technology. Sad stuff.
and now the internet too
"Why did you stopped responding to me, my love?" Yeah, that's Keanu Reeves all right.
Yes it is me Kanoe Reeves. Please send $500 walmart gift card to my house in mumbai or I will be under the rest.
The reporter in red was apparently in the middle of rebooting when this aired.
She sounds completely delusional. So very sad.
Sounds crazy.
