Romance scamming lawyer – help for victims of romance fraud

Love scamming, also known as romance scams or simply love fraud, is a perfidious form of cybercrime. Perpetrators pose as loving and interested partners on social networks, dating portals, or messaging services. Over weeks or even months, they build a seemingly genuine relationship in which trust and closeness develop. However, the end result is not a partnership, but a scam: Victims are tricked into transferring money, disclosing personal information, or even taking out loans. Many victims are shocked when they discover that the affection was merely a deception.

Precisely because the perpetrators act so professionally, many victims feel helpless and ashamed to speak out about their experiences. But silence plays into the hands of the fraudsters. As a lawyer specializing in fraud cases, I can help you take legal action and gain clarity about your options. You don't have to handle this situation alone.

Help for victims of romance scamming

If you've become a victim of love scamming, it's crucial to act early. In addition to the emotional trauma, significant financial losses often also occur. In such cases, I can support you in asserting your claims and legally resolving the incident. This includes both the reclaiming of transferred funds and the prosecution of the perpetrators.

Even if "only" emotional damage has occurred, you shouldn't underestimate the impact. The abuse of trust by a supposed romantic relationship leaves its mark on one's self-image and often undermines trust in others. That's why it's important to take the first step and seek help.

I offer a free initial assessment of your situation. This will provide you with clear legal guidance at no initial cost to you. Based on this, you can decide for yourself what further steps you wish to take.

We will take care of your case – quickly & with commitment.

Perpetrators' approach

The methods used by love scammers to approach their victims seem harmless at first glance. They often begin a casual exchange on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Tinder, or WhatsApp. Contact is often made using fake photos and fictitious life stories. Over time, this develops into a close and very personal exchange, which the perpetrators deliberately use to build trust.

Only once a close emotional bond has been established do the perpetrators steer the conversation toward money. They often report alleged emergencies, urgent medical treatments, or planned trips that would only be possible with financial support. Many victims don't realize at this point that the situation is manipulated because trust has already grown so strongly.

What's particularly insidious is that criminals are increasingly using artificial intelligence. Using realistic-looking photos, professionally designed fake websites, and even AI-powered chatbots, they manage to conduct convincing conversations in real time. This makes it difficult to spot a scam early on.

Your legal options

Love scamming is by no means a harmless offense. Rather, it is a criminal offense that encompasses various elements such as fraud, coercion, or breach of trust. As a victim, you have the option of taking legal action against the perpetrators. This includes both criminal prosecution and civil claims for restitution.

In many cases, lost funds can be reclaimed, whether through banks, international financial regulatory authorities, or by initiating legal action. At the same time, it's important to prevent further damage, for example, by preventing identity theft. Often, perpetrators have gained access to sensitive data that could be misused again later. Prompt legal action protects you from further consequences.

What to do after a scam

If you suspect you've fallen victim to love scams, you should immediately secure all relevant information. This includes chat histories, emails, phone numbers, bank statements, or screenshots of the perpetrators' profiles. These documents are important evidence that can be crucial later in court or during investigations. At the same time, you should immediately break off contact with the scammers and inform your bank and, if necessary, the police.

Avoid hiding what you've experienced. Many victims feel isolated, but it's precisely this isolation that perpetrators deliberately exploit. Talk to people you trust or seek support from counseling centers like the White Ring or the telephone counseling service. You have no reason to be ashamed—the blame lies solely with the perpetrators.
