&#8220;I’m obsessed&#8221; &#8211; A Woman Met Fake &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; Actor, Gave Him $10000 and Divorced Her Husband

It is not very surprising that a big franchise like Stranger Things
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger/things] has millions of followers around
the world. The Netflix-exclusive series raked billions of dollars in streaming.
In addition, the craze was so high that the makers organized a special screening
event for the fans for season 4 volume 2. Imagine the joy when Singaporean fans
realized they could have an immersible Upside Down experience with a whole
demogorgons’ world created for them. 

While most of the fans might think that there is no bigger fan than them, they
are wrong. 


A BILLY HARGROVE ROMANCE GONE WRONG 

A female film artist in Kentucky decided to join a forum where fellow artists
connected and shared their ideas. She dropped a message on the online artist
forum and invited fellow creators for a fruitful collaboration. Following this,
a man named DK MH posing as the actor who played Billy Hargrove on Stranger
Things contacted her. Their relationship blossomed, even though she was
suspicious of his identity. As they got closer, the catfisher posing as Dacre
Montgomery confessed his relationship problems.



Lo and behold, the Kentucky women’s kindness let her shell out a total of $10000
to help with his money issues. The catfisher then went a step ahead and
manipulated her to divorce her husband on the terms of “not letting me be me.”
The woman trusted the online friend because her relationship problems were quite
similar to his girlfriend controlling his money. A divorce later, the single mom
continued to give money to untraceable accounts until the “Romance Scammer” was
caught.

The woman confessed, “I’m obsessed with Stranger Things.” She had a very kind
message to others who suffer from low self-esteem and advised them to not fall
prey to such scammers. This is not the first time someone fell prey to
catfishing. 


PRETENDING TO BE THE CONTROVERSIAL RAPPER IN THE POLISH COUNTRY

 A YouTuber in Poland gave the shock of their lives to all Kanye West
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west] fans. Not only did the YouTuber
lead fans to believe he was the Yeezy owner,
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/music-news-back-when-fan-were-scammed-by-a-fake-kanye-west-in-poland/]
but he also fooled the paparazzi. He started off the prank as a means to fool
his friends but soon realized he was getting really good at pretending to be Ye.
Donning face masks and a smart face coverup; he took the prank a notch higher. 



The driver, bodyguards, and Ye’s usual accompaniments were played by other
actors. Taking the media and fans into a frenzy, he had a good run pretending to
be the world-famous controversial rapper. Luckily, though, his intentions were
in good faith, like a true Ye fan.
