Description

Online romance fraud is a growing problem across the globe, and its something

that causes both financial and emotional devastation, yet many people refuse t

o take it seriously. This is the story of one cardiganed crusader who is determined

to understand how and why online romance fraud is becoming such a horrifyingly

gigantic issue.

By winding up scammers and investigating the truth behind the Twitter handles,

Becky Holmes has shone a revealing and hilarious light on this shady corner

of the internet. Aside from the first-hand accounts of people who have fallen

prey to the fraudsters, and the authentic scripts used to con victims out of

their money, the really eye-opening news that this book lays bare is the virtually

non-existent legal action that is available to anyone who discovers too late that

Keanu Reeves is NOT in love with them.
