After my first disaster, I needed more than closure — I needed the truth. This episode follows my painful journey chasing the “real man” behind a fake profile, hoping to find answers and redemption.

But chasing closure led me into a second scam, where the same patterns played out again — the lies, the manipulation, the gut-wrenching betrayals. I recount my cautious attempts to connect, the video chats, and the shocking revelations that left me questioning everything once more.

Through this raw, personal story, I explore the brutal psychology of a second scam — how trauma and hope can trap us in a cycle that’s hard to break.

If you’ve been caught in a similar cycle or know someone who has, you’re not alone. This episode offers compassion, hard truths, and a call to stay vigilant before the red flags become too entangled in the heart.

Trigger warning: Emotional trauma, betrayal, financial loss.
