THE HIDDEN INTERNATIONAL CRIME, THE HIDDEN SCANDAL
❤️đ©čRomance fraud, also known as romance scams, involves scammers building fake online relationships to exploit victims emotionally and financially, often through made up stories of lovers undergoing, emergencies, 'help', or personal hardships all by way of a loan.. Suicide rates are high, across all ages because of teen sextortion to adults losing everything. Money losses are high, mental health is affected for the rest of their lives.
đŠčThis is NOT a faceless crime, this is targeting individuals and ruining their lives so criminals can steal.
đđWhile it's a widespread issue causing billions in losses annually,it seems to be ‘’the perfect crime.." Law enforcement does achieve arrests and convictions, though they are rare compared to the sheer volume of cases and many times just for huge loss cases, or when the scammer has migrated to another country.
đIN EVERY country the volume of online fraud being ignored is a SCANDAL If there is a Bank robbery, Police go and investigate and take all the evidence. Yet in online fraud they say too difficult to deal with.
đ€·♀️IT IS 2026 AND THE WORLD IS CONNECTED VIA THE INTERNET. HOW IS THIS CRIME IGNORED??
đThe huge majority of Romance Scam is unreported. Only around 5% it is said is reported. It is the only crime where the victim of the crime fears for their own sanity if they do report it. It is the only crime where, if you go to Police, some say, go away, nothing we can do it is outside the country. Others say, your fault,n you gave away the money. YET in marriages Coercive Control is talked about but not in online relationships !
đ€Recovery rates are low, primarily because funds are often eventually transferred overseas, using the help of ‘Money Mules’, using cryptocurrency, or through non-traceable means like gift cards. Money Mules are those who will accept money and send it on. Often unwillingly becoming part of the scammer gang as they think they are doing their ‘friend’ a favour.
⚖️The FBI and FTC emphasize that once money is sent, it's "gone forever" in almost all cases. However, some VERY few recoveries occur through legal actions, bank interventions, and if you have sent through a bank, go and report to the bank immediately you realise it is a scam.
đŠčBeware of thousands of recovery scammers flooding the internet. They can’t get your money back and they are charging fees. So you get scammed again.
đŠčHowever this crime is carried out in every country and they all law agencies act differently. Some are good and some act as if they really don’t care.
đźAt any one time hundreds of thousands of people across the world will be a victim of this crime. NO REAL EFFORT TO STOP IT FROM WEST AFRICA. No joined up effort from the Western countries to move to eliminate this fraud.
đŠčIt is an organised crime effort. Not just a few boys on their phones.. there are background organisations on an industrial basis to help the scam and the money laundering.
đČMobile phone usage in Nigeria is exceptionally high, with a penetration rate of roughly 85-98.5% as of 2023-2024, representing over 219 million active subscriptions and making it the leading market in Africa. Nigeria is a "mobile-first" nation, where over 90% of internet access occurs via smartphones, yet we are told the country is desperately poor. Which we know it is. So how do these figures happen?
đČMobile phone usage in Ghana is exceptionally high, with penetration rates near or exceeding 100% of the population due to multiple SIM card ownership. By early 2024, there were over 38 million mobile connections. Again we are told these are poor countries and yet their phone usage numbers are huge.
đźIt may be hard to get a grip on this fraud but it is something that must happen and not still allowed to grow. High youth unemployment, poverty, and more so , the glamourisation of fast wealth in popular culture contribute to the prevalence.
đThey are stealing BILLIONS from the world, they are ruining lives with ‘The Perfect Crime’ and it is a scandal. At some point those who can MUST say enough is enough and get together to reduce or stop it all together.
đđTHE FACT THAT IT IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE.. and it is being allowed to continue.. IS A WORLD WIDE SCANDAL OF HUGE AND UNLIMITED PROPORTIONS.
