Scam Check The short show · first episodes coming
Scam Check is a short video show. Someone who is not sure gets on a FaceTime call with Mathew and explains what is happening. He gives his opinion, then viewers vote on whether it is a scam. No episodes are out yet, so try this made-up example.
You matched three weeks ago. You talk every morning and every night, and they say they have never felt this way. The camera is always broken. Now their mother is in the hospital, and they need $900 by Friday.
We wrote this to show how it works. It is not a real person.
- You have never seen them live, and there is always a reason.
- They said “I love you” very quickly.
- A sudden emergency, and money to fix it.
Your feelings may be real. This pattern is one the FTC warns about. Never send money to someone you only know online.
Scam Check and Scam Rescue TV are shows hosted by Mathew Martello, produced with RealityShow.com. What you hear is his opinion, based on common warning signs. It is not legal or financial advice. We are not police or a government agency, we do not recover money, and we never charge to try. If you have lost money, call your bank and report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
Were you scammed?
We are looking for people who lost money to someone they trusted and want to tell their story on the show. Telling us does not put you on camera.
- The scam is not happening right now
- You decide what gets told
- Nothing is published unless you agree and sign a release
We cannot recover money for you, and nobody honest can promise that.
Need help now?
The Comeback Crew is group coaching with Mathew for people who have been scammed.
