I can't imagine how hard it would be to decide to take on a moneygetback role of scammed persons, The history needs to be remembered though and the help that was born through such pain and suffering. Mad respect to these *GlobalTraceAssets*
These scamers need to be stopped. So many of theme out there
If you like Nigeria men and you really want a men to show up, tell men that you are a porn star or you minus well show your naked body!
If you don’t want to, block them
they will stop when people stop giving them money. they can't get your money unless you give it to them.
As a Retired combat Marine I want to tell you that the internet keeps records of your good works as what you are doing is just as important as any warrior on the battlefield. You are waging warfare against these criminals and terrorists on the digital battlefield. You are defending and protecting the most vulnerable of our society against these predators. Keep up the good works team *GlobalTraceAssets*
*Scam Alert* I presently work with them on a major project and would like to say that you are a blessing to all those people who have been scammed and the much-needed hammer to smash those scammers and halt them in their tracks. Thank you, *Adriannotch* for continuing your crusade against the people.
I can't praise you enough for being here for the victims! Thank you so very much *GLOBAL TRACE ASSETS* !! You guys are Superheroes!!! Thanks for looking out for all of us and especially our elderly because they appear to be the most vulnerable. You guys are Aces❤
You're out-of-the-box thinking and distinct perspective transformed an otherwise mediocre presentation into an excellent one. You did an excellent job identifying errors and preventing us from squandering time and going down the incorrect path. Your attention to detail truly separates you from the competition. Excellent work *GlobalTraceAssets* , Your excellent labor has yielded tangible, beneficial outcomes for me. You are a formidable opponent.
Unfortunately my boyfriend's mother has fallen for these scammers. Keanu, Eminem, Lionel Richie, Sylvester Stallone, Steven Tyler are all people she thinks are in love with her. Nothing convinces her otherwise. She's in her 50s.
Did her husband die? My mom won't listen to me when i say its FAKE, she just says i don't want her to be happy...
This happened to me , thinking I was talking to Chris Brown. And when you realize it’s a scam it really tears you apart… like a real heart break. It’s sad that ppl do this and have no remorse.
But why did you think Chris Brown was writing to you?
@@emmaohlsson7964l
Because the person that was acting to be him FaceTimed me and some how made it look like I was really on with CB .. I found it weird how quick it was and he didn’t say anything.
I found out it was all a scam because the guy confessed
@@shanicebeachdid you send him money?
Why are you giving a hollywood celebrity money?
I have famous celebs keep asking for $900 to sign up for a VIP fan card.
@@Diana-gq4qr but you get a card at least...
@@knuclear200x no you don't. it's a scam and no celebrity is asking.. it's a scammer.
@@patriciamcdermott9589 Exactly. So why is anyone giving a celebrity money?
Known Facts about Keanu: He is one of the most private celebrities alive today and is extremely shy. He would never contact a person through any means of Social Networking, hence comments above. No offence to the older lady above but seriously you could be his mother and not once has he gone in that direction except for movies.
exactly. she's also wrong about any woman or girl falling for that crap. it's called love bombing and it's all bs. that's a huge red flag right there that it's a scammer. no one even talks like that.
real celebritys would not ask for money
You're great. Seriously. You're super likable at the same time. The FBI should seriously hire you right now based off of these videos. You're a true patriot, sir. Thank you *GlobalTraceAssets* for all you do please don't stop. You're so important to this country people like you. You're putting fear into literal countries. On a funny note; your characters are legendary at this points.
CAN'T EVEN HAVE A ROMANCE NOWADAYS IN CALIFORNIA WITHOUT BEING SCAMMED BY FAKE KEANU.
I've been contacted by a ton of those. I just tell them I know they're fake. Then they disappear.
That's the key. It's a numbers game. These scammers don't have time for you if you tell them YOU KNOW it's FAKE.
They are scum & easy to get trapped. I’m expecting a large bill any day. It will come & they could care less.
I just string them along for as long as possible!
This woman is brave and lovely...thank you for sharing this. It's true.
How is she brave?
*ADRIANNOTCH* your approach and jobtelling is GENIUS and you're establishing yourself as a one of a kind communicator that I believe few have ever seen on this platform. And I think you definitely succeeded in making sense of it to the world! Keep up the good work my friend.
I wish there was more people like you to stop all these scammers, they need serious jail time for that, especially when they take money from the elderly, keep doing what your doing *GlobalTraceAssets* put the wind up these low life oxygen thief Loves what you guy do keep up the great work mate well done
This man spends hundreds of thousands of time just to help us. He helps those in need while also helping us. He always puts a smile on our faces and we should appreciate it. Hats off to Him! I love you dude. Crazy I've never payed attention to the *Adriannotch* on the internet movement when I say ancestral your a gift to our people
Why aren't these guys aren't in jail?
I have an elderly friend who thinks some military guy is courting her. Her loved ones are trying to warn her but she isn't listening.
I must say to It's really a great work is doing out here so glad he's out there fighting these low life scammers with us. We need to do all we can to spare the elderly and the general public from these despicable scammers! Kudos to YOU!! *Adriannotch* Keep doing your work. We need more people like yourself and there needs to be better prosecutions for these criminal
Yeah someone tried this on me and it didn't work. I've had people claim to be Keanu Reeves, Jason Mamoa (probably not spelled right), and the Rock. Total BS! These stars have better things to do, like live happily and (most) quietly. They are not going to hit you up out of the blue and try to romance the average person. And certainly not to ask for money from you. You really need to think about the reality of these people and their oh so busy lifestyle to understand someone is using their name and likeness to scam you. Don't believe the lies your told. And please ladies...I know life can be lonely at times...but please don't fall for someone laying it on thick and promising you the moon and stars, while saying I love you, because it's just not true. These freaks only want to steal your hard earned money. Please be smart and question everything, protect yourself and your vital information. And just block these freaks, if you do and don't give them the time of day it will decrease if not stop all together. Please be smart and safe out there...that goes for the men too.
Yes there are tons of Jason Momoa Impersonators. I run several fanpages for Jason Momoa and I get at least,5 pee day. And no matter what you say they still try to convince me. But I know better
Yeah I got a couple of these and I laughed out loud! Fortunately I knew better.
Yeah everyone is being scammed in life when you realize it. It is understandable. I am not elderly these people to me are respected as they grew up with the conditioning of another way
These scammers are horrible people I'm sorry for saying it i know deep down it's not nice to say but it's the truth
Smart lady nice to hear a story about a woman that didn't sing Money the only way this is going to stop if we stopped sending money
Be good if Keanu got up on 60 minutes -or even a few of the best shows - and spoke to the world in detail about this. About how he never will write to anyone, doesn’t need money etc. That would be a great public service
Look at the youtube ads using famous peoples likeness and cutting in video of them and dub their voices to make stupid claims.. It's ridiculous.
Astounding work *Adriannotch* so lively you are out there connecting with these disappointments. We really want to do all that we can for spare the more prepared and the general public from these horrendous clowns! Adulation to YOU!! You merit the Nobel prize for keeping us safe.big up family
Thank you for warning! I have been chatting with several Keanu Reeves copycats asking for money for various reasons: management and legal problems, membership cards, marriage license, etc.
@Joy Hustard not yet...
"Keanu Reeves, if you're watching this..." She so desperately wants to believe that she still has some connection to a movie star who doesn't know she exists.
I have a friend right now being scammed by Jennifer Aniston scammer ..I can't talk any sense into him
The Pedro Pascal impersonators are ridiculous - and I've seen SO many across multiple platforms. 😂🤣 Look for the red flags, they always reveal themselves.
why on earth would keanu reeves contact you...
It is such a shame that she and others went through this situation. I went through this situation when I was on TikTok last year. I left TikTok because of the problem.
I look forward to us passing laws about making celebrity imposters illegal in the United States. I hope this situation does not happen to anyone else.
Yeah ive had people claiming to be Keanu Reeves, Johnny Depp and Gerard Butler
Once you start chatting to a scammer just block . No matter how you feel DO NOT SEND MONEY
The work he does is so vital the world needs more people like you I just love the podcast so you put up I love hearing these scammers squirm keep up the good work, it takes good hearted individuals the gutts to do this instead. There should be whole government department buildings filled with *ApexDeft* doing stuff like this to protect and serve its own scammed civilian . That would be tax money’s well spent
I can feel her pain 😢 💔
Sorry for what happened to you 😢
*90SpyTron* can help you get your lost funds back
Text him on instagram..good luck !
Sorry honey that is where it all started
@@christysweenygonzales8465 did you lost any money??
You dramatically changed her life for the better. The scammers don't stop after 1 success. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nicholas and *Adriannotch* on the internet team. You guys are heroes to me. I'm just so happy this dudes is coming back stronger than ever and i can't begin to express how excited i am for the future jobs. i love these guys so Dearly ❤️❤️
This is exactly why I refuse to exposed my face online
Dang so Olivia Munn doesn't need me...
If hes not on social media then how did he enter the Matrix? 🤷🏿♂️
Being a private investigator and Seeing your recovery skills is like watching a military based trained agent take on these scammers, (respect to the rest of your team) scouting, gathering information, close monitoring, targeting weak spots then breaking through their security and retrieving valuable evidence with stolen crypto, all aspects of *Adriannotch* process is perfectly organized and diligently carried out with customers that get messed up by these people on a daily basis, so it's nice to see them get a taste of their own medicine Stay safe and keep busting and getting them in
custody
Sure Keanu Reaves is gonna text you for a chitchat
*Honestly, just owning it and not trying to hide it is partially why I watch you. It's the honorable thing to do and it make the rest of the jobs much more believe when you are call out of the spots like that, so thank you High gizmo on the internet. I can't wait to tell my grandkids this was the greatest youtube Recovery agent of my time..*
at one point heard from almost 60 brad pitt imposters and i blocked and reported them a few other celebs too but not as many
How can anyone seriously think that a Movie Superstar with hundreds of millions of dollars would be interested in YOU? Get a REALITY CHECK!
This lady is beautiful and probably the same age as his wife. You have seen his wife? So it is very possible he would have been interested in this lady. Your comment is unnecessarily cruel.
Who fo i report too because im being stocked bu one
As where is at touch dots then repory
"You dare any girl to read"? What the F ever! I knew that mess was fake!
Gotta watch for the grammar mistakes too
My husband tried to warn people last night concerning the Keanu Reeves scam, and people started to attack him personally thinking he was blaming Keanu...no its imposters! Fakes. Keanu is great himself! The imposters tried us.
I got Keanu too!! Even asked if I wanted to go see the production of his orphanages
How do I report scammers? I have one harassing me
I thought Twitter was supposed to be safe. What about about a celebrity E-mailing a fan back and forth ? and getting the fan to donate some money to a charity ?
I like catching things like this
This is crazy 😂😂😂😂
Yep that's why I was reporting them so much as i was this past 2 or 3 years but its also a bunch of long term criminals doing this too and of course I did report it right directly to one of his managers too!
Be careful, we were contacted by an imposter, for 3 days, and figured it out today, and closed our messenger site on facebook.
They don’t always ask for money. They will ask for packages, ask you to get involved with their “kids” and give you their email. They’ll ask for pictures too or if you want to buy anything from them like animals, send you nude pix which aren’t exactly real, send fake videos when you want them to call you and it looks sooooooo real! Be careful
Brave woman. Wish her joy.
How do I get a hold of FTC
Happened to me with David Caruso....😢😢😢 Devastating gutting experience. 😢😢😢
He is talking to me right now!! But so far hasn't asked for money!! But he jumps in quick to confess their love for you
He might be the chillest, most down to earth money recoverer I've seen on this internet. He is fast, outgoing and humble, how can you not respect #Highgizmo on the internet after seeing this?
Someone right now is doing this to me and they won’t stop contacting me.
I get it. Thanks and hope the show was great. I’m done. I have nothing left to give you all.
People watch out for foreign celebrity scams as well. Unfortunately l was stupid and fell for impersonating a Jehovah'witness. The scammer or scammers never was romantic with me because l am married. He also known as a Robert Diego would offer business deals with me. At that time, I was cognitively impaired did not do a reverse image scan . It turned out it was a fake profile of Sandro Rocha an actor , RUclipsr social influencer, businessman. Video chatted so don't believe video chats because the scammers used the actor's voice l am stupid
They are really good at it mine was spot on left my husband 30 yes. Gave money n it'd been a year he still won't show himself
It happened to me but I didn’t fall for it because I knew it was a scam.
Dont send money to people you have never met. It's not difficult
What about david bryan from the band bon jovi?
I feel so bad for that poor woman but at least she figured it out and didn't send him any money!😀 One of my best friends unfortunately fell for an impersonation scammer pretended to be Sandra Bullock and her/him money!😭😤😓😖😡 I've chatted with an impersonation scammer who pretended to be Becky G that tried to refer to me to her/his telegram but I've told her/him nope I'm good and I've never sent her/him a single cent!😀😅
From experience of being on Johnny Depp discord server I can tell you categorically that he does not talk to his fans so if there is a Johnny Depp talking to someone it’s a fake. It also comes from experience of being scammed by a fake Johnny Depp on another social media platform. It’s weird because I wouldn’t normally have fallen for it as I’m normally the one telling my Nan when an email is fake and from a scammer.
I have had a guy claiming to be Eddie Montgomery asking me to buy a damn gift cards. I refused . The dude had threatened to have me arrested threatened me I ain’t stupid
Wow.. after all this time, the recovery becomes reality. I personally have a lot of faith in this dudes and I think it'll be successful. Thank you *High gizmo* on the Internet for all the effort you've put into this project, and let us all have high hopes for the release 👏🏼
Someone claimed to be the rock
Mean while in All my years & someone with special needs & such. I never, ever gave in to any scammers or romance scammers. Why the Hell Should I give them. my Money? it's mine not for their's to take. if only people would think with their minds instead of their hearts first. Remember what they taught us about strangers when we were younger. That should go for adults too as well .Perfect lesson,
Hello, I do not speak English, but I think I am a victim of such a scam where it could be checked the man claims to be a Korean actor
there are so many scammers hitting on WWE fans even going as far now to show a false public document i am going to try to do what i can they should be charged
The same here I have been scammed by people that are Keanu Reevs and the amount is over 3000 dollars 💸 and they will not stop either
The confidence you take in your work is really inspiring and amazings, special thanks The time and efforts you had put into deleting all inquiries and collections is beyond excellence. Take my cordial thanks! You are really an efficient, organized and result-oriented man Thank you *Adriannotch* for all the extra hours and extra effort you had to put on for getting this job done.I appreciate every bit of your effort. Thank you for pulling this off so smoothly

I believe you same scammer tried to scam me
Yes I was scammed by fake Keanu

They impersonated Brantley Gilbert
Colin Farrel private fb message is a SCAM!!!
Beware of those on Microsoft teams now 😢
It's not just the women that get scammed what about us men.
Recovery works perfectly with VortexTrace
Fichez lui la paix, avec tout ces faux comptes . C est un homme honnête simple discret , arrêtez de lui faire du tort, il n à pas de réseau social, il n en a pas besoin. Les personnes qui lui font ce genre de choses sont des personnes sans scrupule et sans respect.
My aunt is being scammed by Bon Jovi. I have tried to explain and she ignores me
Hollywood movie star are very rich.they don't want your money.and who love a old lady.she should think that before giving money.
Is there anybody out there who has been scammed by Shaun Cassidy?
if she's got $400K, then i'm her man!
