      I water fast 3 times a year and I am up to water fasting 5 days at a time now. As humans we have mechanisms to go without food for many days at a time. The only people that can't are those with a diseased liver or kidneys because these are the two tissues that orchestrate the hormones and biochemical processes needed in order to fast. BTW if you want to try fasting which is by far the healthiest thing you can do for yourself first you need to get your liver and kidneys a check-up by me or another doctor, and I would start with 24 hours first and work up from there. I have a playlist about benefits, what to expect, and possible bad reactions over on my channel. I would recommend watching this playlist before attempting a fast.

    This is one of the few ladies who seems very in touch with the fact that everything he said was a lie, she doesn’t talk about him like he’s a real person and she seems to refer to the events with awareness that it was a scam, that gives me hope for her.

    Scammer: I haven’t eaten all day. If I don’t eat, I’ll have to go to the hospital 😢
    Me: Oh, well……. Hope you feel better. Take a jacket.

    “I haven’t eaten all day, if I don’t I will have to go to the hospital” A NURSE BELIEVED THAT AND SENT HIM 100 DOLLARS.😳
    If I was her admin and saw this I would wonder about her competency.

    "SEEING" both of us?? You mean seeing his picture?? She still seems to think it's the actual guy who is just "two-timing" her, NOT someone from Nigeria. They STILL don't get it. It's this grey-haired handsome guy keeping them both on the string.

    A supposivly SUCCESSFUL man is asking you for $100 so he can eat. Man, makes me so extremely sad how easily manipulated, naieved, & mind controlled our society is & extremely blessed & grateful I am awakened to it all. But still, this is just common sense, that many obviously lack.

    Thank you social Catfish!! Just a suggestion, maybe you could encourage and suggest to these victims to join a local church or local socialization where they can meet local people face to face? My heart breaks for these people because all of them are lonely and suffering from past trauma. These scumbag scammers are going to someday get their karma, it's disgusting what they do to people emotionally and financially.

      @@snooganslestat2030 Not me, I'm a member of Mensa and we deal with extremly stupid ppl all the time. The other great factors are greed (he promises her life off riches and a fairytale), and arrogance, to think someone 10-20 years younger, great looking, with a lot of money would even consider dating them. It's like they don't have a mirror or if they do it's useless couse they are completly delusional. Third thing is faith. If they are willing to belive in some non existing supreme beeing they are willing to belive in anything. Americans are far less educated and much more religious than us Europeans. That's why a lot of scammers use faith based match sites and quote bible later 😂🤣😂😂😂😂!

    I feel like no matter what news and information is spread about scammers it isn't going to fix the issue. It's going to take self-esteem, basic common sense and tough skin from victims/potential victims to stop these people from being scammed. I like how helpful these videos are, but I hope people will use their brains that have already told them that they were being scammed... and not let themselves get scammed.
