Comedian's Takedown Of OkCupid Scammer Is Expertly Played

You're bound to come across some questionable individuals while online dating: the suave gents on OkCupid who bombard you with genitalia-filled DMs, for instance, or the Tinder users who group text all their matches. But the seediest of the bunch have to be the scam artists who try to con you into sending money. Yeah, not going to happen.

So how do you deal with them? Let Mike Bobrinskoy show you.

Watch -- and remember, if someone tells you they've got a heart like a waterfall but "instead of water it's [filled] with love and passion," they're probably scamming you.
