Romance scams are some of the most popular scams today, disproportionately affecting older adults and people who are isolated, widowed, divorced, or living alone. For many victims, the scammer was a daily presence for months, offering comfort, routine, and emotional support.
Unfortunately, many victims hesitate to speak up because they fear judgment or shame from family, friends, or authorities. However, these victims were involved in a highly targeted attack by a coordinated group trained in emotional and financial exploitation.
If you’re involved in an online dating scam, you’re not alone. CybearTrace works with victims to take immediate action, secure their assets, and build a solid case against their scammers. We’ll move at your pace, explain each step clearly, and focus first on protecting you from further financial harm.
Mark* met Sarah* online through a dating platform. They chatted for months, and she’d send him daily messages, remembering small details about his life and speaking often about a future together. Sarah said she was working overseas on an offshore contract, which explained why
they couldn’t meet in person.
The emotional bond felt genuine, and that was exactly how it was designed.
When the requests for help began, they seemed reasonable (i.e. unexpected hospital bills and emergency travel issues). Over time, the amounts increased. When Mark hesitated, she responded with more affection, guilt, and even emotional pressure.
Tens of thousands of dollars later, Sarah’s messages stopped and she vanished overnight, leaving Mark feeling ashamed, isolated, and deeply betrayed. In the weeks that followed, Mark was contacted again, this time by people claiming to be “recovery agents” who promised to get
his money back for a fee. This the second approach planned by the scammers.
