A French woman's story highlights the severe consequences of online scams, as she was duped into a fake relationship with someone impersonating Brad Pitt, losing $855K. The BuzzFeed Community shared heartbreaking personal experiences of scams, including a woman's account of her husband who fell for a similar scheme. Despite never having heard the scammer's voice, he was convinced of a deep connection and ended up sending substantial sums of money. The prevalence of these scams emphasizes the need for awareness and vigilance as they can affect anyone.
The bottom line is my 79-year-old husband of 58 years was convinced he was in love with this person, even though he had never heard her voice.
I later found out about 15 other women who had also tried reaching out to his Facebook account, and their subsequent messages were all so similar in tone.
