Dr. Phil

[Outta Control]

Did anyone see todays episode other than me.....Dr. Phil put ROMANCE SCAMS out into to the open! I couldn't help but feel sorry for the one lady who continued to believe that her dream man is real....even after all the evidence was put before her..........some ppl never learn.

Oh so that´s why we had over 240 lookie-lookers just an hour ago. Great

And we´ve gotten a lot of such ladies recently...

I did not see it but I am glad that Dr. Phil gave Romance scams the attention it deserves.

Sadly, you do have the rare type of victim who refuses to think it's a scam even IF the Nigerian doing it showed up at her house and slapped her upside the head saying "I'm the guy you've been talking to."

Yeah me to Stealth. I think maybe he should do one episode every 6 months. For the unsuspecting people who think that they are in love with Mr. or Mrs. perfect.

I am watching it now...it is really messed up that angie is denial after all the evidence that dr Phil showed her that he was not real...

When is she going to realize this? I know it will hurt at the beginning but at least she should realize now than later

[Loversberg]

I'm just glad that Dr. Phil is doing this episode

[Stealth]

Sadly, some won't realize until they are being mules to their mugu, get caught and are facing life sentences for their federal crime.

[Loversberg]

It is just sad.. I hope she realizes soon

our mod, Pinky, spent a LOT of her time trying to help them with this show, find panelists. And they didn't even bother notifying her that the show will be aired.

Hello everyone....I did watch this episode of Dr. Phil...actually everyday....today's episode, got me very angry because it happened to me... and I think every time I think about it...it makes me sick...I do hope she takes the advice of Dr. Phil and send him no more money...

[Stealth]

With all of Pinky's hard work with them, they should have mentioned it, that was wrong. Shame on Dr Phil show for not even mentioning the sources of where he obtained much info from.

[The Wild Geese]

Yes it is even sadder when a victim thinks that their scammer is the victim when they post their details here in RS and changed mine due to mugus baby honey talks. A victim is helping a mugu to apply for a job here in ….. in the oil field and asking RS to delete her posts because it will ruin the mugus opportunity for a decent job. What a pity. Pity to the woman victim who believes in the mugu’s lies but to hell with the mugu.
No mercy to mugus!

[Outta Control]

Well I think that someone should write the show and tell them how disappointed they are with not even mentioning RS online forum. Since Pinky helped them out. Also, it would have been beneficial for the viewers to know that there is a place to go to on your own to educated themselves before they get taken for a ride!

Even this is a little on the negative side...........but.........for the positive......at least there was a show that was dedicated to ANTI-MUGU!

I agree Outta Control,

There definitely should be more media coverage, but they should also direct possible victims to the sites they can go to, to do a report and read and learn more about the ways of the scammers.
