Jim Grinstead:骗局利用人们的恐惧或贪婪,网络爱情诈骗尤其普遍。诈骗者常瞄准渴望爱情、缺乏社会联系的弱势群体,利用虚构的借口(例如,车坏了,母亲生病)骗取钱财或诱导受害者参与非法活动。多角恋骗局也存在,但其目的可能不仅仅是金钱,还包括爱情和性。网络诈骗者可能利用脚本和多种身份行骗,受害者可能与多个人交流而不自知。在Brit的案例中,诈骗者没有索要金钱,这表明其目的可能并非单纯的经济利益。 Jim Grinstead:随着科技发展,诈骗手段不断翻新,例如,诈骗者开始上门收取钱款,或利用技术手段获取受害者个人信息进行威胁。警方由于资源有限,通常不会重视情感诈骗,这使得受害者缺乏法律追索权。 Brit:在一段关系中,人们很容易忽视危险信号,尤其是在与诈骗者持续沟通的情况下。这种情感诈骗会造成严重的心理创伤,其影响与经济损失或身体伤害一样严重。诈骗者常常针对有过创伤经历的女性,利用她们的心理弱点进行操控。自从播客发布以来,我收到了许多女性发来的类似经历的私信,其中大多数不涉及金钱损失。这种情感诈骗非常普遍,但由于缺乏法律追究途径,受害者往往选择沉默。
