For Love or Money BBC series (Romance scams)

OMG :eek:


This week BBC 1 is running For Love or Money series about romance scams.

How can these fraudsters live with themselves :mad: :eek:

Having an open Facebook profile is risky. (Romance scammers create personal profiles using stolen photographs of attractive people for the purpose of asking others to contact them. This is often known as catfishing)

Loads of scenarios to extract money from marks (illness, fake gold, flights, business opportunity etc.)
