  Speaker 2: year old Texas woman who befriended the Elon Musk account
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: on Facebook last year and spent several months exchanging messages
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: with the account. The woman was encouraged to invest in
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: one of Elon Musky's businesses and well, let's go to
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: ABC Action News for the report.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Police.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: This is the neighborhood where fifty six year old Jeffrey
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Arthur moynihan lives. Bradenson. Police arrested him at his home
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: last night for pretending to be Musk. He's now facing
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: charges for scamming a seventy four year old Texas woman
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: out of a quarter of a million dollars. Veteran detective
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Jim Carulla says moynihan used the real Elon Musk's Facebook
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: profile photo to convince the woman he was the real deal.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Investigator said this went on for months before the Bradinston
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: suspect leveraged their growing friendship and offered the victim an
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: investment opportunity.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: He suggested if she gave him five hundred thousand, he
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: could turn that into fifty five million, the.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Victim's husband told detectives in Frisco Texas. His wife gave
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the impostor six hundred thousand dollars. Now, none of the victims'
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: money has been recovered, which is often or most often
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: the case in these situations. Of the three million dollars
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: stolen already from Utterly residents and Bradenton this year, only
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: about fifteen thousand dollars has been recovered in Bradenson. I'm
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Jasica deleone, ABC Action News.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something, man, it takes two to scam. Okay,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: number one, you got to scammer. Number two, you got
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the scammed. And scammers prey on people's need to believe.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And there are a lot of people out here who
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: believe in Elon Musk. Okay, he's the richest man in
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the world and he's a bona fi genius.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, like him, love him. It is what it is.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: So I get it.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: But I can't just give Jeffrey the biggest he haught here.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I have to give this seventy four year old woman
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: from Texas some of this donkey, because if you're seventy
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: four years old and you got two hundred and fifty
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars to invest, to give to a random Elon
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: musk account on Facebook. Then I have to believe that
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: you are smart enough to know not to give two
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand dollars to a random elon Musk
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: account on Facebook. Even if you're not smart enough to
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: know you seventy four, you've been around the block a
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: few times, ma'am.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You should see a scam coming a mile away. I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: don't want to be a victim.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Blamer here, but damn, in certain situations, especially situations like this,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the victim should be blamed. Okay, you can't be this
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: gullible unless you want to be this gullible, and Jeffrey's
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: shame on you. Jeffrey has a perfectly legitimate painting and
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: pressure washing business.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's what she was sending the money too.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I know you make decent money, but you on the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: internet scam and the elderly out of their Social Security money. Now,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: let me tell you something. The seventy four year old
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: from Texas. You heard in the news report. Her husband
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: said the amount she gave the elon Musk account maybe
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: even higher. He told investigators she gave him around six
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand. Now, I really, really, really really don't feel
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: sorry for her. You got a whole husband at the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: house and six hundred thousand dollars to give to a
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: fake Elon Musk account, and you're seventy four years old.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I know you've been around a long time, and you
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: may not be used to all this new technology, but.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I know that you are wise enough to ask for
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a FaceTime.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Somebody around you has to be smart enough wise enough
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to ask for a FaceTime.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Did you tell anyone?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Did you say, Hey, guess what Elon Musk is on
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Facebook asking me to invest in one of his businesses.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: The reason it's important to say things like this to
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: people out loud is so somebody can knock some sense
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: into you with their words. For example, somebody comes to
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: me and says, hey, I've been talking to Elon Musk
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: on Facebook and he wants me to send him money
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to invest in one of his businesses. He said, if
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I give him twenty and fifty thousand, he can give
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: me fifty five million. All it takes is for one
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: person in the family, one close friend, to say, sit
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: your dumb ass down, Okay, shut your.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Dumb ass up.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: First of all, Elon Musk be on Twitter, not on Facebook.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Second of all, he wouldn't be asking you for no
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: cash over social media. Third of all, what makes you
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: think two hundred and fifty thousand will turn the fifty
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: five million.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: That's not how things work. I know that in life.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: They tell you that.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: If you know someone who has been scammed, you should
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: reassure them.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Let them know.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Scams can happen to anyone that they are, you know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: not at fault.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But that's a lie. Okay.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: In this case, you have to do your due diligence,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: especially asking for that kind of money. They also tell
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: you not to be judgmental, but don't criticize or blame
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the person who got scammed. No, this seventy four year
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: old woman from Texas, along with Jeffrey Arthur moy nihan Junior,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: both deserved the biggest HEA host, So give.
• 5:13
