Woman thought she was going to meet Eminem in Detroit

Celebrity scams are nothing new, but what is new is the amount of money some victims are losing. It’s mind blowing!

I can’t believe some people are throwing their life savings towards these high tech thieves.

I just spoke to a woman who got wrapped up in an Eminem scam. She thought she was going to meet Marshall Mathers in Detroit, but instead, she lost a total of $25,000.

How is that possible?

The way these scams work is they get your attention and then string you along. They make you believe you are really talking with this star, but it’s really an elaborate scam.

I have covered a few Eminem-related scams over the years and have reached out to his legal team. They are always quick to respond and work with investigators, trying to keep other fans safe.

Last year, I spoke to a woman duped by a fake Jon Bon Jovi on Facebook. She was so heartbroken.
