I have just stumbled on these programmes on Netflix ( though I had seen some before), and I was amazed at the gullibility of the women featured.
Others have met and lived with men who were living double ( and treble, and quadruple) lives, and handed over large amounts of money to them, or there were holiday romances with men many decades younger, where these ladies believed they were going to be married ( or were married to them!)
Is it me?

No,not you,some people,men as well as women fall for these things because they're lonely and the attention is welcome,and once these merciless people have them hooked they fleece them.So sad

I do find these stories equally sad and pretty unbelievable _but I totally understand how these women and men get caught up in these awful situations.

They are lonely, vulnerable victims, who are groomed and set up.

I think the people who do this, and sometimes it’s groups of people targeting a dozen or so people, or more, in one hit, are simply among the most disgusting people ever.

Would I ever fall for this? I really like to think not, but who knows, if something happened to my DH and I was suddenly left alone and lonely and grieving……
