I knew Jeffrey was real for a bunch of reasons.
I know this man very intimately
and I don't even know the man.
It's frightening, quite frankly.
I knew he was married and he had told me
that they had a lot of problems in their marriage,
that they slept in different bedrooms.
I verified that online because I'm a sleuth.
Back in June, he was going to a Comic Con that was nearby
and I wanted him to come to my home and see me.
He was only gonna see me if his wife wasn't gonna go.
That day I saw a picture of his wife.
It looked like she was crying,
'cause she didn't get to go to Comic Con.
Then he tells me that he couldn't come
because he didn't want his crew to know about us.
The thing is, there's just too many coincidences
for it not to be him and when I talk to my friends
about them, they're like (gasping).
I'm like, (gasping), I know, right?
Terri is a qualified marriage and family therapist
who says that she believes that she had met
the man of her dreams when Jeffrey struck up
a romantic online relationship with her.
Now Terri claims that she sent Jeffrey thousands of dollars,
but soon realized that he was scamming her.
But according to Terri's nephew, James,
and his wife, Natasha, they say they warned her
all along that Jeffrey was a fraud, take a look at this.
Ever since my Aunt Terri has been talking to
Jeffrey Dean Morgan, she has withdrawn
and isolated herself from the family.
Terri's a very fierce and independent woman
with a strong personality.
It really shows that scams can happen to anyone.
My aunt has lost all insight from this person
who has been manipulating her and taking advantage of her.
I feel like something really isn't right upstairs.
To accept these things are reality,
there has to be something wrong.
I've read lots of things about scams
and how single women can definitely be vulnerable.
The woman that I see in front of me today
is not the woman that I saw when I was a little kid
and it terrifies me.
The thing that's so frightening about this
is the moments of lucid clarity that she has,
where she actually acknowledges that,
Oh yeah, this is a scam, I am getting ripped off.
And then 10 minutes later,
I'm right back to talking to the person again.
Every time James and I try to convince Terry
this was a scam, she wouldn't believe us.
Sometimes just to get James and I to stop,
Terry will go, Yeah, Jeffrey's not real.
I tried to convince her to abandon her emails,
to walk away from her iTunes accounts,
to just get a new phone,
but she refuses to walk away from those ties.
There would be times where Terri would block Jeffrey
in front of James and I on her phone,
then the next time James and I will go over there,
she'd be talking to Jeffrey again.
She has a problem, if she continues to pursue
this Jeffrey Dean Morgan, then I can't help her anymore.
Well thank you guys for being here, I appreciate it.
And you actually wrote in.
Yes, thank you for having us.
You two have talked to Terry
about this from the beginning, right?
Absolutely.
From the first time you heard something about it
Yeah, the first time she brought this up
and she told me that I'm talking to Jeffrey Dean Morgan,
I kinda just laughed it off.
But when she started to really fall into this
and say that this person is being romantically involved
with me and I'm sending money to them
and, that was a huge red flag,
especially with the iTunes cards,
and telling me that you're sending this money
to somebody you've never met.
I know.
No you don't.
When you were contacted,
we have accounts on Twitter,
I have an account on Twitter,
and sometimes I have 20 or 30 accounts on Twitter,
but there's one that has a check mark by it,
that says it's verified.
So, you got contacted from a verified account?
No, from a, well he said it was his personal account,
that he talked to his fans on.
But it wasn't his verified account.
No, no you can only have one verified account.
You cannot have more than one.
How come that accent drifts?
Because sometimes I talk like American,
sometimes I don't.
But you've never spoken like this before, ever.
I've always talked this way.
No, you haven't.
Yes, I have, don't be so (bleep).
What is her normal accent?
She talks like a normal person, like a Californian.
No I don't.
Yes you do. No I don't.
(crowd laughing)
Yes you do Terri.
How is she talking?
This Gaelic, French-Canadian accent.
It's not you.
When did you get, okay.
There's something wrong with you upstairs.
(laughing)
You got so defensive the first time
I said you might need help.
Go ahead, I don't care.
Alright, hold on, hold on.
I'm really confused.
So am I.
I don't know where the hell this child is coming from.
Okay, hold on, everybody take a deep breath here.
Seriously James, talk to me.
Yeah.
Talk to me, 'cause you're not getting along
with her very well.
Absolutely.
You realize now that that could be anyone
because it wasn't a verified account,
and for it to be a verified account.
Well, not necessarily.
I mean I'm on there, and just because I'm not verified
does not mean I am not a real person.
