You know, over the years, I've heard from so many people who have gotten scammed, romance scams. Oh, my gosh. You know, nine times out of ten, I always ask, like, you know, where's the family? How did this even happen? Well, joining us today is the gentleman by the name of Grant Inman. Grant has his own podcast, my funeral home

podcast, as well as he's a producer for a really popular radio show, John Jane Rich, here in Phoenix,

Arizona. Now, Grant's story is different because he is the family, and his mom was involved

with a romance scammer that actually ended the marriage. I mean, 45 years they were married because of some guy in Nigeria.

So, Grant, thanks for being here.

Thank you so much.

First of all, this is a really cool experience because I've been aware of Kim

Commando since my days working at the funeral home.

So this is a very big deal for me. Thank you for

having me. Oh, my pleasure. You know, when I heard about your story, it's unbelievable that this

has been going on. But take us to the beginning. Take us to when you actually found out that this was

going on.

that my mother had been communicating with on Instagram and somehow my mom spilled

the beans and said, hey, you know, look at this guy. What do you think of this fella? And I mean,

he was a good looking guy, you know, probably mid-40s. And I started going through his pictures

as a, you know, concerned son would do. And I ended up seeing a construction, like, machine in the

background. And I, I had kind of the feeling that, you know, what does this, this guy have any

business doing talking to my mother? So I looked up the construction company that he rented, you know,

the man in this picture rented the device from. And they said, oh, yeah, that's so-and-so.

All of his images and all of his stuff on social media has been stolen by this group of hackers.
