She Thinks She's Dating Mojo
This is the Mojo in the Morning podcast, powered by Michigan Auto Law, auto accident attorneys. Visit autolaw.com. That's autolaw.com. It's Mojo in the morning, so I haven't talked about this because of it was kind of a crazy situation that was going on, but I think I can talk about it now. Did you guys know that for the last two years, I have been having a relationship with another woman? It's been an amazing situation. I don't believe this. No, let me explain this to you. For the, I guess, supposedly, last two years, there is a person that says that they have been having a relationship with me and that my wife and I are in agreement that she's going to move over so that we can have this relationship with each other. This person contacted me on social media to tell me about this. Then eventually, in a day or so after contacting me, I get messages all the time and I don't know if you guys do, but we get messages on our social media and the messages will be something to the effect of, you know, Mojo or somebody else on the show did this and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. They'll claim something that we gave them a brand new car and they're, you know, when are they going to get in their car? And you see these things and you go, okay, this could be either just a listener that's kind of just a little disgruntled or it could be one of those ones where it's one of those people that's just trying to bait you to go and to click on their stuff and now all of a sudden they're getting spammed or whatever. Right. Like I get them on my personal one from some, it's the same Asian woman's picture, but she has a different name every single time that comes up. I get that one. I get that one. Yeah. We should be friends. Yeah. And I don't know how, you know, they're able to leave like comments and stuff. Yeah. They came through on my, uh, on my personal page and my personal page showed up that it said, I'm going to tell your wife that we're having an affair with each other. And I saw that right away and I go, oh, wow, she might actually be happy if I am having an affair with you. But also news to me. Yeah. And I just, I block and I immediately just block the accounts and that's kind of what I've been told by, you know, people to do. Well she reached out to Chelsea who did not want to block the account because she was like, oh, what's the heck's going on here? And Chelsea started having a conversation with this woman who is writing down and hey, who I we've, as we've talked to some people, some of the authorities, she, we believe is getting catfished by a person who's claiming to be me. Okay. Okay. So the person is using my identity to talk to this person and has for the last two years been using my identity to talk to him and not just using my identity as Mojo, but using my identity as my name Tom, my real name. And so this kind of started getting crazy to the point that Chelsea's like, you got a call and I've never, and I know that Shannon and back in the day, other people that were on the show, you guys have had issues where people were stalked or said nasty things. I've never had it to a point where I felt like I was threatened enough that I had to call police. And I never got police involved. So I eventually I had ended up having to make a phone call and I called up, you know, sheriff Mike Bouchard and then ended up calling the chief of police in my town, chief Patton, and got put together with some detectives and basically because there's a couple of things. One was, hey, there's obviously somebody that's saying that they're having a relationship with me and they've been doing it for the last two years, but there's also the fact that there's somebody possibly faking to be me and if something happens to this person, yeah, all of a sudden, it's like, well, if they were in a relationship with Mojo and next thing you know, you know, and when I say something happened to him, I'm worried about their, their safety. Yeah. When I talked to the police, the police said, well, it's usually not their safety. It's they start stealing money from them or somebody does this thing. Right. So I ended up talking this really nice detective from the West Bloomfield police and then I said, active goes, all right, well, we're going to reach out to this woman. And so he reached out to this woman, they file the case number on it and they started doing the investigation of the whole deal. And I guess they had conversations with her and talk to her and just explain that it is not me and, you know, the person that you were talking to as my wife was my wife because Chelsea was, you know, getting DM'd by her, but the guy named Tom, who's Mojo on the radio, is not the person that you've had for two years relation. Now, a couple of things that I have to say about this, and it is crazy. How could somebody want to have a relationship with me for two years? And never met you face to face. No, but I was, no, never met me face to face, but then, and even can I tell you the weirdest part? Yeah. Do you know? And where's Chelsea? Can we get Chelsea on the phone? Call up my wife. Chelsea, I don't think believe me for the longest time, like, or not longest time, but like, because this went on for like a few hours. Yeah. Well, no, but our Chelsea's Chelsea, when I went when the woman reached out, actually, I think she reached out to Megan for advice because if she wanted to ask Megan questions about dating apps, because the woman said that I was on Facebook dating and that's how we met. By the way, if you're on Facebook dating and come across me as Mojo or somebody else, I'm not on Facebook dating. Right. I promise you. I'm on hinge. No, I didn't know if you wanted me to bring it up or not, but yeah, Chelsea reached out to me and asked me if I was on that platform, because I've talked about being on dating platforms. And I had it because I didn't think people used Facebook dating, it was kind of shocking to me that this was the platform that she was being catfished on, but we found out how it works and it was really easy to actually prove on your profile that you didn't have it. Yeah. And also the other thing too is you can open up, I can open up a Facebook dating profile as Shannon. Well, so this happened to me so many, so many different ways. Somebody opened, I think it was a plenty of fish account pretending to be me. I had a tinder. Yeah, like you used all my photos and stuff like that. But then a couple of years ago, I had this same thing happen to be Mojo and I didn't have to file a police report for that, but this person was posing as me. The name was like radio mom 56 or something. I don't even remember what it was, but in a guy started reaching out to my official iHeart email being like, "Why did you stop responding? We've been talking for a year. I know you want to." But like new personal details about me, it was very, very strange. The personal details, this person knew, we're crazy. And thought that he was in a relationship with me and it was, it was the craziest, weirdest thing. I think as we were doing kind of a, in the interview with the cops and stuff, and it was like, well, they knew these personal details. Well, we talk about so much stuff on the radio, too. Yeah. Hold on, my wife is on the phone with us right now, Chelsea, do you know that people would have a relationship with me for two years? I just want you to know that first of all. No, I did not know that. Until now. You were, you were at first wondering what was going on. You thought, I mean, listen, we had to, we had to fly on an airplane together because we were coming home from a, uh, about Mitzvah that was in Vegas at that time. What I was upset about is you weren't upset about it. You weren't upset that someone was out there using your identity with this woman. You were like, well, did you want me to talk to her? No, I don't want you to talk to her. Like I want you to be upset that someone is posing as you. And at first I was concerned about her, but when she was insisting that it was you and you wouldn't believe me, that it wasn't you, then I'm like, well, girl, you're on your own. If I were you like FaceTime, that's person first before I meet them, but you're on your own. And you were also, I know you kept, because you kept talking about this, you were worried that she was going to go meet somebody and somebody was going to do some harm to her. Well, and I kept on saying to her FaceTime, the person first, and she kept on telling me no. And she was sending me print out that other conversation that was happening at that time. You know, my wife, well, he said that we were divorced, that we lived two hours away from each other, and we're just co-parenting the sake of our kids, and it was just, I'm like, well, that's not the case, we're still married, I still live with them. You don't sound happy when you say that. I mean, you know, I just don't believe what you want to believe. The part though that I thought was most interesting. At what point did you finally realize that it wasn't me when she was sending you screenshots of things that I said to her? Well, I don't know if you said this, but when he said that you were sending pictures of your... My what? My peepee. And that part, I mean, we were sitting next to each other on the plane while this was going on, and I'm showing you, I'm like, look what she is saying, look what she is saying. The screen, I first, I asked for screenshots, I didn't want that screenshot, but I asked for... To see if it really was my peepee. No, I didn't want that screenshot. Actually, I asked for proof of their conversation and what he was saying, and she did send me one of them, and then, yeah, it was a... So the person actually was so good that they used my profile pic and stuff, but here's the interesting part of the peepee thing was Chelsea knows for a fact that if I was going to do anything, I wouldn't send a picture of my peepee because that would instantly stop the relationship right there at that particular moment. I mean, maybe my savings account. I don't know. Ava, are you there? Ava was talking about cash... I'm here. Oh, okay. Ava, what's up? Oh, there you go. You muted your phone. I've done that before. What's going on? So, you guys are talking about catfishing and stuff like that, and just a whole bunch of internet stuff, and I've been somebody who's been a catfish, been told I look like a catfish because of the things I post online. They said... What do you mean? They said that you were a catfisher or the person that you got catfished? I have made fake profiles before. Why? And posed as other people because attention, I guess, but I've also, by people I've dated in the past, been told that I don't look like the pictures I post online, like the person that I post on Instagram, compared to who I am in real life and what I look like in real life is not the same person. So, I've actually intentionally posed as people online. Wow. Why do you do that, though? What happens when somebody wants to meet up with you? Silence. That is a good question, and that's why I have not, I mean... It never gets to that point? Do you ever feel bad about doing what you're doing and messing with people? Oh, yeah. But you don't know that. Are you catfishing? When I talk to the police and Sheriff Bushard, majority of the time, it's not for the person's, for any other reason than person's trying to scam money or something. Do you ever use this as an opportunity to scam them for money? No, I've never scammed anybody, but well, I have sub-book pics before. But they're not scamming for money. So you do make money off of these people that you're claiming to be another person? Yes, Anna. Are you not talking to us and you're kind of cryptic because you're worried that we're like tracing the call or something like that? Maybe a little bit. Okay. Well, we don't have the ability to do that. I also have the... Your daughter's in the car. She's in her stroller in front of me as we're walking up and down our driveway. Oh, geez. Okay. Wait, are you a mom that does this and messes with people's feelings? I got some stuff I got to work through, but I'm looking to go towards therapy and stuff because being a mom's the best thing that's ever happened to me. Are you? Yes. Sorry. Are you currently in a relationship? Um, I think you could say that. Do you do this while you're in real relationships with people? Do I cap this in real relationships with people? Is that what you're asking? Like if you're dating somebody. Are you still participating in this behavior with strangers? No, because the person that I'm thinking of, he's the one I want to be with. Mika wants to make a comment. What's that Mika? I just said, y'all are talking baby right here. It does kind of sound like it, doesn't it? I know. I love that too. That sounds so good. Oh, yeah. Listen, she loves that show. All the biography. Yeah. But you understand you're messing with people, like you're obviously messing with the person that you're catfishing, but you're also messing with the person whose identity that you're catfishing. Yeah. You're right. You're right. We're real quick. I just got another. My daughter is babbling in the stroller. I got to know these feet that you catfishing, where are you giving these other people feet from? They've only ever been nice to see the eye. So they are her feet. That's fine. Gotcha. People are like, you've got to turn her in. I don't know how we turn her in because we don't have the ability to be able to do that and screen her and trace calls because of our phone lines, how they come in. Unless you texted us. And if you did, we have a phone number. Um, did you text us? I don't know how to text you guys. Okay. All right. Dude, I was calling earlier. This is my first time getting through. Wait. Wait. I do. I have the baby. Baby reindeer. You don't find yourself to be a little off by doing what you're doing. I'm definitely off a little bit. I know that. I'm happy that you are seeking therapy for this. Yes. I've done in therapy before and it was a very good experience talking things through and doing all that. There's, I've only ever tried cognitive behavioral therapy, but I'm interested to see what other types of therapy are out there. But the interesting thing is the one therapy though that is going to get you to really hit rock bottom is the therapy of somebody putting you in jail if you do something like this. So you'll never see your daughter and that's the part that you got to figure you got to figure out. I know I'm aware I do have a doctor's appointment that I need to attend to so I will let you guys do what you have to do today and I appreciate all that you do. All right. You have a great day. I almost ran or responded with I appreciate all you do, but I don't appreciate all you do. All right. All right. Oh, Chelsea's still on the phone line. I didn't even realize you were still on the phone line there. Chelsea. Sorry about that. I don't know why I'm. All right. Is your vehicle stopping like it should? Does it squeal or grind when you break? Don't miss out on summer break deals at O'Reilly Auto Parts. (screams)
