  • Never, ever... ever mix money with a partner you are not married too. EVER.
  • I’m so sorry he hurt you so badly. You were very brave to ensure that he’s in prison so that he can’t harm others.
  • @lizzielove6496
    Sociopaths are NO JOKE. Been dating one for 3 years & he gets his kicks out of making me suicidal. Straight up coward. RUN LADIES! put on ur running sneakers & run! Forget the trauma bond & shame just get out. You are worth it. ❤

    Girl, my message is when you are already successful, have kids and not young stop searching for boyfriend, partner. A lot of women of this age got cheated. Please please be careful of monsters out there.
  • @thelords3394
    I have just learned a lot from this story. Ladies over 40yrs open your eyes 👀. 😭😭
  • Hi Catalina, I met him under the name Blayne Frederick in 2007. I called the FBI and confirmed several things. I hope he pays for his crimes and spends the rest of his life doing so. I was only 26 when I met him and I knew him for only a few months before he started talking about gold and artwork. I was lucky enough to not get involved because I was busy with school.

    It's not bad to hire a PI investigator before you get serious with any man.
  • @sararomero7090
    Ha! A neighbor of mine from Peru tried to sell me some "gold bracelets" one time. I took them to a pawn shop and they rubbed a chemical on it and told me "that is NOT gold." Then the Bozo tried to tell me, "It's different; it's Peruvian gold! That's why the test results showed that." 😆😂 I told him to get lost.

    I would NEVER!!!!!!!! Give a Man/JOKER not even a DOLLAR!!!!!! OR never lend him my car not even use my car around the block ...and never buy him JEWELRY...If His a real man he won't ask you for a Penny!!!!!!!!!!! Unless we were married only then...
  • @berryblulight
    never give a man money, always have a seperate bank account and do background checks before moving in with someone if you don t know their past or their family
  • @justawomanable
    How in the world you are going to trust a person in that amount of time. Wow
  • @MisplacedTexan
    “He had me at hello.” — NO. Honey, you’re too old for that nonsense. No man should have you at hello. Background check. Never give a man you aren’t married to any money, and you should never accept money from a man, either. Want to mingle finances? Get married.
  • @MyAccount-tk4fn
    I watch a lot of these videos & some people are awkward and timid. Catalina is a really good speaker. Glad she spoke up & that this guy is in jail.
  • @paulette904
    These kind of men pray on single lonely women, especially the older ones as they deem desperate.
  • @JenJHayden
    "his public defender".... she said he was wealthy and didnt need to con people..... yet he has a public defender.. i dont know many wealthy people who would elect to put their freedom in the hands of a public defender.
  • @xqa2736
    Yeah. I met a man who was supposedly a 4 star chef. Did a few checks, turns out he worked in a diner as a short order cook because he just got released from 6 year prison sentence for drug dealing. "But it was not my fault..." lol. Glad he never got my address and I changed my number pronto.
