The first words of 'invest' coming from a text or phone call from somebody you don't know should have been a red flag immediately! If it doesn't feel right-run, don't walk,away from it
The banks already have the ability to alert internally or not proceed with the wire transfer if banker find any suspicious activities going on. I feel sad the banker chose to do nothing.
Okay. Lonely guy. Random stranger woman texted him with something like: hey, blah blah. Lonely guy replied and even though doesn't know the stranger, started to chat, blah blah. Remember he has time on his hand. then he thinks he can trade his money for some "human" "interactions...".
I find all of this hard to believe- if this man is stupid enough to repeatedly wire money to someone who he has never seen nor met, then he deserves to lose it. These stories are constantly on the internet and social media. How could he have never read about one of them??
I don't know. This really is only the victim's fault. Banks have enough problems protecting money to deal with victim issues. In the industry we say security is a shared responsibility
Why is it news? My mother-in-law fell for a scam where they said that she owed money on an old PayPal account and she lost all of her savings too. I'm sorry but I tried to warn her now that she had internet that she need to be careful but she didn't listen and her son didn't push the issue with her. She lost 15,000 which is a lot when you're in your 70s and you can't work anymore.
Wanting to invest isn’t being greedy. There are many legitimate ways to invest from very conservative to very aggressive investment strategies. Investing is a great way to grow your wealth.
Yo! Why yall not covering the man who lost his life savings on Trumps bitcoin? Poor dude lost his and his father's life savings on Trump pulling a pump and dump! YOU KNOW THE GUY! HE'S PLAYING PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW. Yeah, him!! And Musk has all access to the US treasury!!🙄🤣

No matter how lonely I am I’ll never understand sending someone I’ve never seen or met tens of thousands of dollars
@@Kris-sc9oc They tell him his money is being stolen and he has to transfer it into a safe account, which is theirs.
I know - I'm so cheap there's no way. The most I'll ever do is send a little present or flowers or something, but that's it.
Greed

Ed must be living under a rock
Make that 2!
You gotta be kidding me .. 50k to someone you've never met
They take advantage of psychology of lonely older people at a time their mental acuity is diminishing. I feel sorry for the guy.
Some ppl are just too gullible 🤦🏻♂️
really sorry for this man. his money is GONE
nah FAFO
Oh my! They got him on Bitcoin AND a romance scam. Dear Lord.

If no familiar name shows up. I let it go to voice mail. Most the time they leave no message. If it's someone I know leaves a message, I'll call back.
Don’t text with strangers, just saying

The price of being greedy
@@ohcamnam9383 Investing isn’t being greedy. There are many places he could have invested that money legitimately.
He should have known better
Sorry to hear this but, men please don’t lead with your money if you do it will be gone as soon as you do so.
shew not once but twice, i truly never understand the stupidity of some people. How in the world does any of that sound like a superb idea. SMH
Oh well…. Lesson learned!!!! Free education!!!😂
Buddy that's their job so they're going to invest all their time screwing around with dumb people.

America has very reputable investment firms, stick to them and sleep better
I feel sorry for the guy but can't understand why you would send any money to a stranger 👿👿🤔🤔🤔
His children need to step in and take over his finances
Its hard to feel sorry for someone so gullible.
You have just inherited a million dollars but you have to act fast you only have to pay taxes first plaease send 50,000 dollars now ! Hurry***
The guy invested $50k with someone who randomly call a wrong number? This can't be real but I guess it is.
Very strange case. To fully understand it is to fully understand all human traits
Customers are king, the bank would get in trouble not following the customer request.
I stay away from crypto- shame he got scammed
If you’re getting suckered like this in the year 2025, good luck. Yikes
It’s best to not answer the phone
He got played like a fiddle *****
Wrong number..yeah man you should have stopped there. WOuld have saved you thousands of dollars.
You could setup an ai chatbot to play the scam out.
This dude won’t ever learn. 🍭 born every minute
Grown man,what a dope.
How
This guy is a sucker 😂
If they stop looking for ways to make more money from a person they don't know and stop looking for romance
They won't get scammed
he probably voted for MAGA.
He sounds as slow as Biden tho
That’s what I believe.
......problems affecting our viewers......
People are really dumb! 😅😅😅😅😅
He believed person that he never meet..........he did it to himself
😢it wasnt a wrong text ,was it a woman?***
He could have put that money into 1 month government T-Bills and made 4000$ a month just for letting it sit there.
4000 per month from 70000 ? another scam
Nice math .. fail
Try about $250 per month at 4.25%, and it’s probably closer to 4%
@@g.t.richardson6311 willfully failed math badly, so did those who gave a thumbs up
Another one
This man is so dumb😮😅
When u greedy lonely and stupid.
