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?

The money’s usually gone. Sometimes the courts can force a sale of whatever assets the fraudsters have accumulated, but it’s never enough to make everyone whole again.
