No, but I watched the Romance Scams last night before ‘Love Rat’.
One woman lost £6600, borrowed from friends, to help her ‘boyfriend’ who she’d never met in real life, but just ‘loved so much’ and still does, even though she knows it was a scam, and he was just working as part of a scam team.
Another poor lady sent over £1000, which she is still paying the loan for, to some actor’s cancer charity. She was a fan, and of course, the real actor had never been corresponding with her.
The final woman turned the tables though. She checked out the fellow’s address and work place, found that the chap on the picture she was corresponding with didn’t exist, his picture had been stolen and used by the scammers. All she lost was the money she had paid a cab firm to check out his home address.
