💨 Abstract

Romance scams are a significant issue, with one in 10 UK adults targeted, often preying on vulnerable individuals, like Jenny's widowed 68-year-old mother who recently found a "friend" on social media. Jenny suspects her mom, dealing with loneliness and grief, might be victim to an online scammer posing as a U.S. military veteran. Despite her warnings, Jenny's mother ignores the signs.
