Tammy says for the last two years, her sister, Terri, has been in a relationship with a man named Ricardo, whom she met on Facebook Messenger. However, Tammy says that Terri’s never met Ricardo in person because he claims he is in Canada working and that every time he says he’s returning to the U.S., there’s an excuse why he can’t come back.
“Ricardo does tell my sister, Terri, that he’s in love with her, he wants to marry her, he wants to share his millions with her, and Terri believes it,” Tammy says, adding that Terri has sent this person between $50,000 and $75,000. “It makes me sick to my stomach and sad. I know that Ricardo is a scammer, because why would a millionaire ask somebody for money?”
In the video above, hear what happened when Tammy says she confronted Terri about her relationship with Ricardo and why she says she’s concerned about her sister.
