– why do victims of fraud not get their money back?

150 viewsOther

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?

Cause it’s unlikely that the guy who defrauded them and hundreds of others actually still has all that money in his bank account when he gets arrested. Probably blew it on stupid shit.

And the money they have left probably gets blown on lawyer and court fees. Can’t get money from the arrested fraudster if he doesn’t have any.
