Love Scams: A Mother Hooked By A Catfish

Fifty-six-year-old widow Sebrina says she’s in love with her overseas boyfriend of one year, “James,” whom she has talked to online and over the phone but has never met in person.

Sebrina’s daughter, Sarah, says she’s at her wits’ end trying to convince her mother that she’s being scammed --and says she has even shown her evidence to prove it --but Sebrina continues to send “James” money. Is Sebrina in denial, or is Sarah on the wrong track? Dr. Phil enlists the help of private investigator Doug Kane to look into “James’” claims and find the truth. Has Sebrina fallen victim to a catfish?Plus, don’t miss what happens when Dr. Phil confronts “James” over the phone! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
