In 2018 alone, 4,555 romance frauds were reported in the UK, with victims conned out of a total £50 million.
Kym Marsh and Ashley John-Baptiste are on the trail of the criminals extorting vast amounts of money from unsuspecting victims under the guise of love. Today, they’re investigating a man who, after targeting a businesswoman on a dating site, proceeded to trick her over a period of months out of almost £60,000. As they unravel the evidence that allowed the fraudster to appear so plausible, there’s a dramatic showdown with the man himself. Also, one man reveals what it’s like to have your photos stolen and used as part of an online ‘catfishing’ campaign, and an extraordinary international con is exposed.
