ROMANCE SCAM: A financial romance scam is a deceitful scheme where a scammer establishes a romantic connection with someone, often online, with the intention of exploiting their emotions to extract money. These scammers typically create elaborate personas and engage in prolonged conversations to gain the trust of their victims.
Once a strong emotional bond is formed, they fabricate stories of financial distress, medical emergencies, or other urgent situations, coercing the victim into sending them money. The scammer's ultimate goal is to manipulate the victim's feelings, leading them to willingly provide financial assistance. These scams can be emotionally devastating and financially ruinous for victims, highlighting the importance of skepticism and caution when forming online relationships.
Common in romance scams, manipulators try to gain access to your personal information. They might use stories of financial hardships or emergencies to evoke sympathy and encourage monetary assistance. In some cases, they might even attempt to infect devices with malware to access sensitive data. Vigilance is crucial, as recognizing the signs of suspicious behavior and never sharing personal information with strangers online can help protect against falling prey to these heartless scams.
FTC: What to know about romance scams
consumer.ftc.g...
If you or a loved one is involved in a romance scam, we highly suggest that you discontinue your correspondence with this person and to not give this person anymore money! They are not who they say they are, and have their own intentions for the relationship. Additionally, for lost money, we highly recommend you file a police report with your local police department (you have a right to have them file even if they tell you there isn’t anything that they can do) and also report it to the FBI through the IC3. By reporting it, it brings awareness and also adds ‘footprints’ attached to the scammer. If someone else has commonalities with their case, it could help stop the person behind the fake photos. I’d like to invite you to join our closed and private discussion group on facebook. There are tools and tips that are helpful in educating yourself, knowing what to look for, and keeping yourself safe online.
SUGGESTED NEXT STEPS:
- CONTACT ANY BANK OR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION FROM WHERE THE FUNDS HAVE BEEN SENT (EX. WESTERN UNION, PAYPAL, WELLS FARGO…)
- REPORT TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
www.ftc.gov/
- WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO REACH OUT TO ONE OF THE THREE CREDIT BUREAUS AND REQUEST A FRAUD ALERT (TRANSUNION, EXPERIAN, OR EQUIFAX)
- IN ADDITION, YOU MAY ASK TO FREEZE CREDIT DUE TO FRAUD
- CLOSE ALL FRAUD ACCOUNTS, AND/OR ANY ACCOUNT THAT ACCESS WAS GIVEN
- NEXT, FILE A POLICE REPORT WITH YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITIES
- CONTACT THE IRS
- FILE A REPORT WITH THE FBI (Ic3.gov)

This lady has to stay strong, pray a lot, and in time, things will get easier to deal with. Some losses you can't get over you just learn to live with it. ❤My 1st fiance died in a car crash, my husband died when he was misdiagnosed with mild dehydration, and my third husband died in a car crash, and all three of my children. I've gotten help, and time helps, but I still struggle, especially for birthdays and holidays. I have a support system but they don't truly understand because none of them has lost any of their children or husbands. Like anything else, they're around at first and only for a little while because they have their own lives to tend to. I had decided to try to foster/ adopt, and a scammer got me. It's been almost three years, and after contacting over a hundred people for help, I'm still at the starting point. The DA said that I slipped through the cracks, apologized, and still wouldn't prosecute or make them return anything. With all of my proof, the laws are in favor of the criminals, not the victim. If I see them again, I may end up in prison because I've already lost everything. I'm going to keep fighting because I deserve to be a mom, and there's a child somewhere who needs me just like I need them.

OMG this episode really tugged at my heartstrings. I'm a 70-year-old computer technician who takes care of roughly 75 or 85 elderly clients with mostly simple computer stuff. One of my clients got scammed not once but twice out of a total of almost $80,000! She felt desperately alone after the loss of her husband and believed she had to have someone in her life, so much so that it blunted her intelligence and self-preservation instincts. This was a very smart woman who did very well in the real estate market, but these guys, especially the second one, were con artists of the highest order and very talented, in both cases they spent extended amounts of time, over a year the second time, gradually grooming this women until they got to the send me money part of the game. Please do not feel bad that this guy got you - they get many many people no matter how intelligent they are by sensing a weak spot and going after it with everything they have.

I can completely relate to this woman and I'm in Long Beach CA.. this happened to me when I used to live in Texas..

Even when people are surrounded by friends and family they can still fall victim. As soon as loved ones ask the real questions, the victim goes into protective mode because they don't want to believe they're being lied to. I watched the same group help a woman who was married and had drained everything she and her husband had because the scammer told her she was pretty. Remarkably the husband was happy to forgive her, he said well it's only money. But it wasn't just money, it was the horrible deceit and her creeping around undoing all their finances to keep the scammer satisfied so the wife could get her daily hit of Mr Wonderful phoning. The scammer in that case had used a photo that looked a little bit like Brad Pitt and just started talking to her on social media, I don't think it was a dating site.

[@flowerjpotter1629]

Forgot to say, I agree loneliness is usually a big factor, but in the married couple case the husband was devoted to his wife, they had no kids just cats and dogs....plus her quirks, she openly admitted to being obsessed with male genitals. She collected all kinds of things shaped like it including the pasta, which I presume they ate. The wife wasn't lonely, but when she thought a good looking hunk was interested in her, she became hooked straight away like a drug addict and the fantasy created by the scam, was the drug. It's scary how us humans can become easily trained to do crazy things. This wife wasn't physically attractive (am not being mean here, but it's a big part of how she ended up in that situation). For her being told she was pretty by some man with a handsome photo was like an immediate hit of intoxication so exquisitely sweet for her, that it kept her coming back with more and more thousands for him. But if her adoring husband had told her the same words she would've just laughed because he was attainable and married to her, not some far off mysterious hunk drawn to her beauty and captivated by her conversation....or so she thought....but seriously, I think a little part her brain knew the truth but the ego was having such a good time, so decided to keep it going knowing complete financial and marital ruin were almost inevitable. I felt so sorry for the husband, hopefully she appreciated him when she the cameras went away and she finally stopped crying. I just hope she didn't go looking for that ego hit again and find another scammer. It's a really interesting episode to watch if you can find it.

Leah is incredibly brave for being so vulnerable, I hope that her heart heals. I’d like to hear what happened with the other victims as well- the people who sent money.

[@Tenebarum]

She's not brave. She is enjoying the attention.

Have you heard about the 3 Trolls hiding under a bridge??? 🤔

[@punkandwhat2338]

I want to give that amazing lady a huge hug and a standing ovation . she's so strong and courageous. you guys did an incredible job with this case and I hope the scammer gets what's coming to him. …. yes I cried when the lady did... twice...

[@nathanak1]

Yea what a hero 😂😂

[@nathanak1]

Thank her for her service

[@TheTwilightBong]

As we look to Leah's husbands, she probably never had any of them to treat her right and give her real love and attention. So when someone does exactly that to her, i don't get surprised she had fallen for this guy. She seems a nice lady. It's so sad.

I LOVE VLAD! I don’t care what anyone says I just adore that man! Trilogy media as a whole is just brilliant and I cannot get enough of the channel.

[@keeper6458]

Trilogy I NEED YOUR HELP. I was scammed out of over $4,000 before my first brain surgery. This episode really broke me and my heart hurts for her! Ive been alone with no help trying to figure out who my scammer is. I feel the pain.. I would give anything to get help from you all. Thank you so much for helping victims. Its absolutely disgusting to watch this beautiful woman with the biggest heart to be scammed. Thank you again for everything 💛💛💛💛

[@davidesquer7776]

Help this person please!!

[@joannerickman2966]

I really hope that you are okay now

[@ceciledelaney5174]

You don't need to find your scammer. You need to block and delete and keep away from online crap "lovers". Concentrate on yourself, getting better.❤ Meet.people in real life. These online scams are out there too much!!

Praying for u

[@susanthomas7585]

Romance scammers are the lowest and most evil scammers. You are a beautiful person, Leah. Sending you love and prayers. Yay..no more talking to evil.

[@Skycladatdusk78]

Rule #1 - If they ask "Have you eaten today" or "How did you sleep" it's a scam. Rule #2 - If they refer to you as "My Queen" you know it's a scammer.

[@xxxxxxxxx1652]

I really feel bad for her. When you're lonely and feel isolated and 'un-lovable' (in her words), it's a lot easier for people to use you and sell you a fantasy. I hope she can heal from this and have a fulfilling and enjoyable life.

[@johnwayne8666]

I understand how she feels i let my self get scammed and kick myself everyday

[@dead1097]

@@johnwayne8666 you didn't let anything happen to you. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive yourself, because younger past you deserves forgiveness. May your future be filled with moments and people that make what happened to you a hiccup in a good life.

[@beryllines3788]

@@johnwayne8666 No. Don't EVER blame yourself. This is run by a crime syndicate. You were played, taken advantage of, your good nature wanted to help and you did NOT deserve to be disrespected that way. Put your anger where it belongs - on them. They work in groups and they use instructions about how to get the best response. I am a warner and I try to prevent these scammers getting their grubby mitts on their potential victims. What I have learned about while doing this is that the victims are targeted, manipulated, wooed, and then lied to about trauma, or disaster that didn't really happen. If it wasn't for the deception, the victim would never have handed over a cent. The fault lies with the LIAR, not you. Please don't turn it inwards and be angry with yourself, you don't deserve that. You deserve to move forward in your life, knowing you learned a lesson and you will not make that same mistake again. You deserve to love yourself, forgive yourself, and enjoy your life.

[@KARREN-KRASS]

@Merrlin Your “Dad grabbed you and put your sister on a call” that makes no sense at all. Please explain.Your Father grabbed you by the hand or around your waste? Your Dad put your sister on a call? What call? Where was your Mother when all this was going on? Why did your dad grab you, and what has that got to do with your sister being put on some call by your Dad? How does this confusing statement of yours convince your Mother she was being scammed for 7K? Your Dad physically grabbed you, what has that got to do with your sister? 😮

[@Cernowain2023]

Don’t cry Lia! The same was done to me for 6 months or more. You are strong you can move on as I did. It took one year to get all information about my scammer but I did it. He never showed his face either. Thank you Lia and guys who help people to get rid of those evil, malignant narcissists who have no remorse to break one’s heart. Great job you all have done. Thank you!
