      @BBCWorldService You just said they are trying to get more money from you. Did you initially give them some money before? Secondly, what platform did you get this fraudsters? Thirdly, why did you diligently engage in chatting with them for good 8weeks when you knew they were fraudulent?

      Recently a scam scheme using bizum came out (at least here in Spain) in which people were tricked into sending money to other numbers, and then they'd get more money.
      Thing is, they had in implemented so A would send money to B and then receive (more) money from C, with A, B, and C being victims in different stages of the scam. Since it worked the first few times, people trusted the scammer and then went in big. If the victim got suspicious early enough, they could retire with a profit, but, since that money came from another victim, you could end up getting prosecuted for it.

      So many people have been taken advantage of by this scam, there are news stories all over YT about it, but what's sad are the people being taken advantage of, and they know it. I know two people, one a relative and one a work acquaintance who were sending money overseas to help women "with their education". Both were told they were getting scammed and both admitted they knew that was true but they were lonely, so they kept sending money just to maintain the connection to that person.
      The relative stopped sending money, but I don't know if the acquaintance did.

    Remember guys, if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.
    No woman will send you her pics upfront.
    Always be on the lookout for contradictions and inconsistencies in their stories.
    Remember, they are "grooming" several potential victims so they WILL get around to asking for money pretty soon - a day or two at the most.
    A lot of their pictures will appear either professionally shot or the other extreme - like they were taken with a 2012 phone camera.

      Everyone with a job is a scammer or part of a scam to some extent. Corporations don't invest billions into marketing, sales, and planned obsolescence just to get you to pay more for less. Insurance companies would be broke if people were paid what they were promised. In the end, it's just money and capitalism, it's all made up. There are only winners and losers, no right or wrong; and some people will always end up with the short end of the stick.

    My elderly parents have an elderly single friend who is being butchered. They and all her friends warned her that the online romance was a scam, but instead she cut ties with her real friends to bankrupt herself with this scammer. Once fooled, many will double-down instead of admitting to themselves or others that they were fools.

    The real annoying thing is that if you report a scammer to FB, with clearly someone using friends account they’ve piggy backed on, and report it’s blatantly a scammer impersonating my friend, they don’t do anything. I reported someone recently 4 times and their profile and activity still remains. If you run an online organisation (eg FB, X, YT, Instagram etc) surely there is some central ombudsman and if you dilly dally, and don’t remove these accounts with obvious proof they are scammer, you should be hugely fined. It’s your platform and you should have some responsibility for what appears on it. Safely, both love and greed can weaken peoples senses, but that doesn’t detract from the evil s**ts that steal innocent peoples hard earned cash, as they are too bone idle to work themselves.

      Elderly people are pretty vulnerable as their mental facilties aren't all there, some are lonely and desperate and aren't familiar with these types of scams. It's sad but some of them actually become delusional and insist tbey are a real person and keep sending money even after family and friends have warned them or showed them the scam outright.
