A now-single mother claims her whole life was turned upside down when she was scammed out of thousands of dollars after being catfished by a person pretending to be a Hollywood star.
McKayla, an artist from Kentucky, revealed on a recent episode of the "Catfished" web series that she left her husband after meeting a person online who said he was Dacre Montgomery, the actor who plays Billy Hargrove in the popular Netflix series"Stranger Things." She says the impersonator also scammed her out of roughly $10,000.McKayla says the two"hit it off" in an online forum for creatives, but added that she was skeptical from the beginning.
"Montgomery" also told her at the time he was splitting up with his model girlfriend Liv Pollack because she was controlling. That's when he asked McKayla to be his girlfriend.McKayla, who also claimed to be in a"toxic" relationship, ultimately told her husband that things weren't working out and the two split.That's when the impersonator began asking for money, saying Pollack controlled his bank account and wouldn't allow him access.
The impersonator promised to pay her back, but McKayla ultimately funded the person's bank account for over a year before she realized something didn't seem right. Following a thorough investigation by the"Catfished" team, they were able to inform McKayla that she was, in fact, being scammed.
