Saw yesterday’s programme with the lady who’d sent her male friend £80K! She admitted her obsession with him had caused rifts in her family. None of us are perfect but I hope I wouldn’t have been taken in by his constant requests for money to bail himself out of situations that just got more and more bizarre - detained at Heathrow for weeks!!! As if!

on todays,,episode a men had met 'rubba' a lovely young women and sent her over time thousands of pounds. turned out she didn't exist. It was a photoshopped photo of someone else. He took out loans to help her as she told him she had 'gold' and showed him pictures of the gold..... Poor man.

What a shame that people are so desperate and gullible. ☹️
