I'd heard a little bit about scamming, so I sort of did a bit more.

Then I rang her and she didn't do much, but she was devastated.

I just said to her, look, mum, I've gone and had a bit of a look.

You are not talking to Donald.

He's not Australian.

He's not in Turkey.

Mum, those photos belong to Joe Bloggs.

He's married.

Mum, this is not Donald.

You're a victim of a scam.

The best part about mum is that I suppose she knew who I am.

She knew my background.

She knew there'd be no reason for me to lie because I really wanted for her to meet somebody.

So she took all that on face value.

Yeah.

but was very shocked and she you know we had that conversation it may only went for half an hour 45 minutes yeah she left it and then she rang me back and she said how do you know so I went through all the processes I did this mum this is this photo yeah so I said mum all this is nothing to do with a contract and I said this is all stolen so I broke it down into every little detail

fine detail so she could understand but it took her a while it wasn't something that okay thank you for that that's great when you say a while over a matter of days weeks or hours no this is this took mum a couple of months to really accept and then i what i did which i don't do to anybody now i actually showed her the real person who the real person was who the real person's

You know, daughter is, I showed her where the photos had been stolen from.

Right.

Because I said to her, I need you to understand that this is real.
