Leah was turned into a cash mule
In the video, one of the men explained that Leah literally gave up everything and was ready to move to Miami to reunite with the scammer on November 10.
Leah, who had been married thrice, thought she had finally found love when she met Christopher Rodriguez on Facebook six months ago.
However, Christopher Rodriguez does not exist in real life and was the fake identity the Yahoo boy used, stolen from a white man named Eric Powell.
Presenting himself as a day online trader based in Ohio, the Yahoo boy turned Leah into a cash mule, got her bank credentials, and gained her love and trust. A heartbroken Leah could not believe her eyes. She said:
"On top of the fact that I gave up my job to move to Miami. I don't even have enough gas in my car to do DoorDash to make more money. I am broke. I am broken."
