Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Mojo on the morning show. So they're getting catfished.
(00:03):
Who's getting catfish?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Nana.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Yeah, I have to be a little careful with this
because it's a medical office. But I have a relative
who works in a medical office, and it's an office
where she sees they see this person semi regularly, like
the patients come in on a regular basis, So she
(00:25):
has been getting to know the patients, and one patient
has consistently talked about a man that they were seeing
that lived in a foreign country. And this woman is
showing her pictures of the man that my friend knows
are definitely AI photos.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
It has escalated to the point where she is taking
out loans because she believes that she is going to
get this man to move to our country to live
with her. And my friend who works at the office
does not know how to help this woman out because
of hippolaws and things like that. Her people that are
(01:07):
above her in the office are like, no, you can't
get involved in their lives. You can't get involved in
their lives. But she's sitting here like, this woman is
clearly getting scammed. She's showing me photos that are AI photos.
She's taking out loans to send to this man to
get him to the United States. Like she doesn't know
how to help in this.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Why can't she just say you're getting scammed? Are they?
Are you not allowed to do that at a medical office.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
For whatever reason she said that, The doctor over her
was like, you just can't get him, You.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Can't get involved.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, because I don't know why you wouldn't be able
to too, because obviously your hope is the person's well being, right,
what if.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
That person gets angry at the office.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I'm just thinking about like every doctor and dentist appointment
that I go to, we like we chitchat about a
whole bunch of things, including like what's going on in
my life and stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
So that's why I'm like, I couldn't she say anything?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Well, her doctor obviously is pretty uh, it's pretty buttoned
up about what he wants them to do and what
doesn't want him to do. But I always wonder who
these people are that fall for this thing. Is just
like an older lady.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, it's an older woman. And the pictures of the
man I'll see if I can find them, it's a
very young looking gentleman.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Really, she likes the young guys. Yeah, can I tell
you the funniest is the I don't know. I send
Chelsea all the time like this is pretty funny. And
it's like some kind of Instagram thing that I see
or something, and she goes.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
It's Ai, It's Ai, And I go.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
God, she deflates me so much when I because I
get so excited over something that happened, and it's like
a story, you know, about a person that does something weird,
and to go it's obviously I. I think I would
be the person that would fall.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
For the Uh.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
But you're not going to be sending somebody money that
you've never met. Like, that's where my brain wants to explode.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Honestly, if I was a single person and I was lonely,
I probably would.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah, I mean you're a little desperate, Andy, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Andy?
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Oh? God, you go already know who I am?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That's love?
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Okay? So, uh, Devil's Advocate. What if it weren't like
a therapist and this person were saying it to a therapist,
would the hippo laws apply in that situation too? I
know that some food for thought.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I don't know that that is interesting.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I would think as a therapist, you'd be able to
have to say to them, you know, you should double
check and triple check that this is actually a real person.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I'm sure people go to their therapist.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Why they couldn't do that, you know?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I think if I was a therapist, Andy, I would
say to anybody, Hey, I met this guy online. Do
you know you really met somebody? Like I think catfishing
is so prominent, I would probably want to just speak
up and say something like, let me see and ask
that question and see if they'll show it to you.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
What's up, Nicole?
Speaker 7 (03:45):
Uh, Yes, this actually happened to my father. He when
met somebody online I think it.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
Was on Facebook, and was speaking to this person, which
was a woman I.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Guess you never know, Yeah, and he ended up sending
her money and I guess she was going to come
to the US, but it never happened until he told
one of us, my sister or I, and we were like, dad,
this is not real, Like you cannot send money to people.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
That you don't know, and what did your dad do?
Speaker 8 (04:21):
He ended up stopping because we were like, it's the internet, dude,
they just make up whatever. And they scammed the older
people all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
How much money did dad send.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
That He ended up sending close to ten thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Oh my god, man, And you know, I'm assuming your
dad is your dad a pretty knowledgeable guy.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Is you a smart Oh?
Speaker 8 (04:46):
Yes, he's smart.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah you think you go, this is my dad. I
think my dad's smarter than this. But love takes over,
you know, it's weird.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, definitely, that's sad.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I'm sad to see that happen. But it's good that
you get. We're there for your dad to stop it
from happening. I always believe it's not really a person
that and he is, like even a woman. On the
other end, I think it's the same guy that masturbates
a target that's like you know what I mean, Like,
it's the same type of people that have like these
weird fetishes or something like that, or weird they're weird,
you know, kind of scrammers. What's going on? Or they're
(05:20):
former salespeople from iHeartMedia. What's going on?
Speaker 8 (05:24):
Heather?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
How you doing?
Speaker 9 (05:25):
I'm good?
Speaker 6 (05:26):
How are you good?
Speaker 10 (05:27):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
We're talking about Anna's friend here? What are your thoughts?
Speaker 9 (05:32):
So, Like, I had a coworker like several years ago
it wasn't one where like he was trying to bring
someone over, but it was one of those email scans
that before he knew it, like everything was gone. The
house was gone, his car was gone. He had hundreds
of thousands of dollars of loans and we could not
Like we kept trying to tell him this, No, no
(05:53):
one in Uganda wants to help you.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, you Ghana. And I mean I couldn't even put
you Ghana on a map. I know, yeah, but I
wouldn't know where in Africa it is. You know, it's
amazing that we don't have regulations that stop these people
from doing this stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Shelley, what's up, Shelley, how you doing? I'm good, thank you.
Speaker 10 (06:18):
I work for a financial institution and we are actually
trained for to look for things like this and tell
them that they're being scammed and advocate for them and
help them. I don't think it's a privacy policy for
the dentist office or a doctor's office. It's their actual
just common courtesy duty to say something.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I think that's just one of them.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah, I think it's wrong.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It's obviously it's the doctor that doesn't want to have
a patient be lost, but here's the deal. If they
get scammed out of all their money, they're not going
to have the money to be able to come and
go to you as a doctor anymore.
Speaker 10 (06:56):
Right, Oh, it's so sad they wouldn't tell her, especially
somebody who's elderly. You know, they're on a fixed income.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It's awful, Shelley. You know the show, right, you know
Mojo on the morning show. Absolutely out of all of us,
And I'm gonna say all the names myself, Mojo, Shannon,
keV Anna Bianca and Lydia and Zach and Zach out
of all of us, I want you to tell me
three people that you think would more than likely get
(07:24):
scammed for some AI person trying to scam us?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Which ones do you think?
Speaker 10 (07:30):
Zach Bianca and Oh my goodness, I don't know who
the other one would be.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Come on, maybe you Mojo.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Go ahead, that's all right, you can say it. I'd
probably get scammed. All it takes is a little TNA.
You show me a little TNA and I'm giving you
my life savings here.
Speaker 10 (07:55):
Well, I would advocate for you, Mojo.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Thank you, Jelly.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I appreciate you help me at my I don't know
what the institution you work for. But hopefully it's my
thank you for the call. I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I just won't let you know.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I'm not that dumb.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
I create AI images honestly, all right, thank you.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You create AI imaging. But you would definitely fall for
some kind of a scam person. Come on, Bianca, never beyond.
Bianca just goes for a guy with a smile, a
guy with a smile, and she's like in love, right, oh.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yes, let me take a call. But no, I only
have one guy I love, only that.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Love.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
How do we know he's real? How do we know
he's real.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Because you've said a something Mojo, But he's not.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I set it up. It's a scam. He's AI. Oh
he's a bot. He's a total bot. Yeah,
It's Mojo on the morning show. So they're getting catfished.
(00:03):
Who's getting catfish?
Speaker 2 (00:04):

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
It has escalated to the point where she is taking
out loans because she believes that she is going to
get this man to move to our country to live
with her. And my friend who works at the office
does not know how to help this woman out because
of hippolaws and things like that. Her people that are
(01:07):
above her in the office are like, no, you can't

She's taking out loans to send to this man to
get him to the United States. Like she doesn't know
how to help in this.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Why can't she just say you're getting scammed? Are they?
Are you not allowed to do that at a medical office.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
For whatever reason she said that, The doctor over her
was like, you just can't get him, You.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Can't get involved.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, because I don't know why you wouldn't be able
to too, because obviously your hope is the person's well being, right,
what if.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
That person gets angry at the office.
Speaker 5 (01:48):

Speaker 8 (04:46):
Yes, he's smart.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah you think you go, this is my dad. I
think my dad's smarter than this. But love takes over,
you know, it's weird.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, definitely, that's sad.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I'm sad to see that happen. But it's good that
you get. We're there for your dad to stop it
