I watched this story and couldn't believe it when the actor responds to the anchor,

"That I know of that have lost money (to scammers impersonating him)? It's in the 100s...

I see people come to my appearances and look at me like we've had a relationship online for a couple of years and I'm like, no, I'm so sorry, I don't know who you are. It's so sad, and you see the devastation."

I feel like there's a big undercurrent brewing but because the individual damages are not high enough and victims have limited recourse, nothing significant happens.
