How the scammers work, part 1

5 th of June 2023

When I decided to write those articles I contemplated if all the victims would be women?

I don’t know but at least many of them are women. Why is that? Could it be because women are kindhearted and gullible and believe in the good in everyone?

Whatever the reason is that so many women are the victims of scammers does not change the fact that those who lie and cheat are plain criminals.

Often, perhaps most common, is that the scammers work in groups.

They don´t have normal jobs and the days are spent by finding victims who will believe the smooth talk and fall flat for the Casanovas.

Some of the scammers show their true Fotos and tell their true names, and those are in my opinion the most dangerous ones. They appear to be true and the victims believe.

There is a pattern. The scammers follow a pattern and if you look closely at the behaviour of the believable ones you will soon realise that something is wrong.

There are different types of scammers.

There are those who use fake names and fake pictures. There are some who can easily be recognised but unfortunately there are others who sound like normal human beings, until you see the pattern.

The victims sometimes sacrifice a lot for those fakes. There are many stories about women who have spent a lot of money on those who pretend to be their future husbands. The women sacrifice a lot. They even borrow and loose their homes for the criminals.

Those who look real are the most dangerous, in my opinion. They often get away with the lies for months and even years, and the victims feel sorry for the poor men who are fighting to stay alive and want to be with the loved one but something always happens the last minute and there is a delay and more money needed.

You might ask, how can the victims not see through the pattern?

We have to keep in mind that those are clever men, they support each other and there is nothing that can stop them. This it their job, in a way, or their mission. They use God a lot and tell the victim they are praying for both of them and that God will hear the prayers.

There are women who have not just lost a lot of money, there are women who have lost their piece of mind and some have even been admitted to hospitals with mental problems after the scammers have manipulated them into complete despair.

What can be done?

We have to talk about the problem and we have to report the criminals if we know about any. The victims don´t want to write their stories . They are ashamed and vulnerable. That is understandable.

Somehow we must try to wake up and realize that scammers are a huge problem in modern times.

Let us not be silent. Let us rise up and tell the truth.

There is a lot of information about scammers on the internet, how they work and how they manipulate and cheat.

Tomorrow I want to talk about the pattern. There is a pattern and if it is repeated again and again, there is danger.

Listen to your gut feeling.

See you tomorrow.
