Spot the romance approach
Tell real warmth from a setup, before any money is asked for.
Somebody kind writes daily, moves quickly to love, and can never meet or come on camera. Money comes later.
The affection is real work, spent building the moment a first request feels ordinary.
Key points
- Warmth that never becomes a meeting is a method
- Money asked for by somebody unmet — stop, and report at reportfraud.ftc.gov
What to remember
- A live camera is the request this never survives.
- Money asked for by somebody you have never met is the line.
