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 know someone who sends money to some Army soldier that stationed out in california.

People get lonely and such but once it starts hitting someone's wallet, wouldn't they kind of wake up to the fact that they are getting ripped off?

I mean these internet scams are nothing new, if someone gets ripped off because their identity was stolen that is one thing but for somebody to sit there and willingly feed a catfish?

If I ever had some romance scammer ask me for something because their family member is in the hospital, I would just send them good vibes.
