No, love is not a scam. However, you can get scammed when looking for love. Think of love, the same way you think of wealth. Love is a lot like wealth.
If you hope to get wealthy quickly, fast, and in a hurry, just like someone famous you heard of, chances are you will get scammed, or end up committing some crime.
The most common “love scam” that people go through is this:
Often, one person may have the looks/beauty, the other has the riches/means/visa, etc. They trade, and a few years down the line, they realize they don’t love each other.
When that happens, one of them walks away. When they walk away, they aren’t walking away from the person they thought they loved.
Instead, they are walking away from the trade they did a few weeks, months, or years ago - to make another one - thinking it’s real love.
That’s always the case when the relationship is based on greed, lust, and covetousness.
Some love and get loved.
Now, contrast that with people who have dated each other for a while time, and they don’t love each other for what they have on the outside, but for who they are on the inside.
Such love relationships always last for a long time, and are often quite ”fruitful.” @assemblingaknob
