Man spends father’s $250000 life savings on virtual girlfriend

Despite all of the methods of communication, people are lonelier than ever before. With that being said, people do all kinds of things to find love. After all, there is a reason online dating exists, let alone being so popular. When it’s all said and done, nobody wants to be alone. One man took this to new extremes, as he blew his dad’s life savings and ran up $60,000 on his brother’s credit card for a woman he only knew online.

Not everyone has the confidence needed to be vulnerable to another person. As a result, there is an entire industry dedicated to people like that. Courtesy of various kinds of dating services and entertainment websites, people have ways to have their emotional needs met. However, this opens up a whole different set of complications. Deceptive people have posed as romantic interests of lonely people in order to take advantage of them. In simpler terms, a catfish.

There is one man who has been laughed off of social media. He participated in online dating, via some of the websites. The man met a woman and quickly welcomed her into his life as his girlfriend. To that end, the man borrowed his brother’s credit card and spent $60,000 on the woman. After that, he ran through his father’s $250,000 life savings. His dad spent thirty years saving that money. For a woman he met online, the man spent a total of $316,000.
