I’m watching the docuseries Love Rats on Netflix, a series about people who have been scammed out of thousands of pounds by their partners / friends etc. It’s a UK series, if it’s not available elsewhere think of it like Tinder Swindler – mostly women meeting men via online dating who then aren’t who they say they are and manage to scam them out of a significant amount of money.
A lot of these people have lost so much, £50,000-£200,000, and none of them are able to get any back even if the person committing fraud against them has been arrested and charged – why is that?

Get it back from who? The person who committed the fraud would need to be caught, convicted and, most importantly, have enough assets to be able to repay their victims. In those cases, the victims typically do get their money back. But those are pretty rare cases.
