Comments by "Marcel Audubon" (@Marcel_Audubon) on "The World's Most Complex Catfishing Scam | Investigators" video.
she gave it away, it wasn't stolen from her

this is a run of the mill catfish - they're all like this, nothing complex about it
2
stupidity to the extent of Kirat's should be the crime

why would you "highly recommend" something so third rate? There are lots of great podcasts out there - Sweet Bobby ain't one of them.

yeah! why doesn't she give an additional 3 or 4 years of her life away to pursue satisfaction through the courts? Have I answered your question, dearie?
1
wouldn't it be easier to form a database of the laughably gullible?

@Passportkassa personality disorders are not crimes - and which felonies were committed? be specific, dearie
1
yeah, in the old days she woulda just joined a lonelyhearts club and that woulda been the end of it
1
yeah, except she was a lonelyheart who didn't want this problem solved ... any normal person woulda shut it down when the brother she had never met of the late ex-boyfriend of a second cousin she barely knew reached out with a series progressively personal messages. Lonelyhearts are catnip for con artists.

People in witness protection programs don't have "confirmation loops" from their past life - how gullible can this dingaling be??
1
who's she going to prosecute? herself, for being a gullible dope?
1
yeah, the whole thing is second rate
1
There was nothing "complex" or "sophisticated" about this - it was run of the mill catfishing

In the podcast, the narrator "reporter" immediately sets up a false premise that people over 40 just aren't with it enough to get how this could happen, yet then goes forward forgiving every under 40 involved for ignoring the most obvious red flags ever waved. Had none of these people been on the internet before?? The story of a catfish con is no different from a old fashioned con game of the 1930s: find someone gullible and exploit their weak point(s) (loneliness, vanity, etc.) to your own advantage. We over-40s woulda been on to this scam from the beginning. I guess that woulda ruined his story, though, so he asks us to leave the room.

"there was nothing wrong with me" ... sure, sweetie, sure - you keep telling yourself that
1
yes: she's still gullible and lonely
1
she keeps talking about her cousin, but it's not her cousin, it's her second cousin, much younger than she, and who she barely knew at the start of this. She says "cousin" to excuse her own gullibilty.
