Does anyone have experience with romance scams?

Have you or someone you know been the victim of a romance scam? What happened when the scam collapsed?

Apparently a relative of mine has been "investing" in crypto with a famous musical performer. He is also in love with her and is in the process of liquidating his assets so they can go on tour together. WTF?

I don’t know anyone personally but I have heard many stories.

Why do you think there are catfish here. These accounts of young Asian women posting nudes and such. It’s not them and some of them are looking to latch on to people. That’s exactly why I point them out.

I am really sorry about your relative. Who is the famous musical performer? Is there anyway you can get through to your family member to convince them it’s not actually the celebrity?

@iamonfire696 it's too late for convincing. He will find out soon enough when the scammer stops getting paid.

@Dolimyte I am really sorry. He’s going to be crushed and feel terrible
