The shocking incident was revealed by the woman on a YouTube channel. The woman named Mckala who is now a single mother narrated her ordeal about falling in love with an imposter whom she met on an online platform. The online platform was meant for artists from various fields and the scammer posed as Stranger Things actor Dacre Montgomery. Under the false pretext of falling in love with the woman, the scammer stole thousands of dollars from McKala and she herself sent him the money out of love. He also told her false stories about breaking up with his wife Liv Pollock (Dacre Montgomery’s real wife) and assured her he to settle down with her once they officially separated. The scammer made McKala divorce her husband too. The US woman only got concerned about it when they did not meet each other in person for over a year.
In this case, McKala approximately lost $10,000 and her husband too. However, in the video, the woman accepted that it only happened because she fell in love with the imposter and ended up making stupid decisions because of it.
