The person who has done this needs to go to prison , poor girl
@
Not even close to enough, plus the scammer needs to be in prison.
@
That catfish put a lot of effort in 🤣
@
They are protecting the scammer
@
Poor girl. Thats a horrible thing to do to someone
@
“4 year campaign”. So this was started when the victim was 15 years old? That’s sickening.
@
Dangerous!!

I can’t imagine how this poor women must feel knowing countless men could approach her with all kinds of intentions due to this account. As someone who values their privacy so highly I can’t imagine having that stripped away from you without any choice of your own.
@

Jail time! How comes a person will generally go up jail for theft but not theft of an identity, which is arguably worse than any other kind of theft!
@
£10,000⁉️‼️What a joke‼️ Don't settle for this amount Miss‼️
@
10k? Should have added some zeros to that…wtf

The person cat fishing should be in prison ffs
@
Don't settle for that amount. Sue her in civil court and set the payout much higher!

Why are we still seeing the victim's face and not the scammer's face? it should be all over the internet by now
