These scammers take advantage of people looking for romantic partners, often via social media apps or online dating sites. They pretend to be your dream partner for life but instead extort you for money and gifts and ultimately leave you broke and broken hearted.
These scams can be very convincing and much time and effort goes into convincing the target person that the scammer is a real person who loves them dearly. People build a strong connection with the fake person and resist identifying and acting on the warning signs. It is important that family and friends are there to question the relationship and help the victim. This scam specifically targets some of our most vulnerable, especially the elderly.
