Come on, I appreciate your stance on not judging anyone and I feel sorry for those who’ve been conned. I just find it hard to understand how you can be duped into handing over thousands to someone you’ve never met. Different if they’ve been on a few dates.

1/ Unless it’s happened to you it’s hard to explain and understand the process you go through. These professional fraudsters use the same behaviour as narcissists, a proven technique to manipulate. Ours did the same almost but money wasn’t his motivation.

I’m honestly not having a go. Like you say, it’s probably hard to understand unless you’re a victim

Honestly watch the show. You would be surprised at how sophisticated this crime is!

I now work with @RosieDuffield1 and @hfletcher10 as well as others and we are working to make this illegal including campaigning for robust verification on sign up for all dating and social media platforms.

She’s been an amazing advocate for many things and both these presenters have highlighted brilliantly the complexities of this behaviour and showed empathy and understanding that many don’t. I’ve made amazing friends after my own experience and offer a non judgemental ear...
