In the Season 2 opener, Anola exposes the hidden psychological mechanism powering nearly every modern romance scam: love bombing. This isn’t just cheesy sweet talk — it’s a deliberate strategy built to overwhelm your emotions and chemically hijack your brain. Using her own experience with “Pedro,” she illustrates how scammers identify emotional vulnerabilities, flood victims with affection, and use dopamine and oxytocin to create deep, false attachment that bypasses logic and silences red flags.

This episode breaks down how victims get “brainjacked,” why the relationship feels real, why walking away is so difficult, and how scammers use a fabricated romantic fantasy to set the stage for financial exploitation. It also offers concrete steps to protect yourself, help loved ones, and get clarity if you’re experiencing love bombing right now.

Powerful, validating, and eye-opening — this episode exposes the emotional engineering behind online fraud and gives you the tools to recognize manipulation before it becomes abuse.

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.

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.

This episode is deeply personal. It’s about betrayal, financial trauma, and the painful moment when denial breaks — when the fantasy shatters and harsh truth takes hold.

Despite growing doubts, desperation pushed me forward. As suspicion grew, so did the distance between us. Love messages faded, replaced by transactions and demands.

Then came the moment that changed everything: an unexpected call from an unexpected source — confirmation of what I’d been fearing. I was caught in a scam. I share the gut-wrenching phone call, the confession to my family, and how I faced the reality of losing over $800K.

This episode exposes the emotional and financial devastation scams cause — and the courage it takes to face the truth and start healing.

Trigger warning: Financial loss, emotional trauma, family struggles.

What starts with a spark of affection can ignite into a full-blown inferno of deception. In this first half of a two-part episode, I walk you through the slow burn of how trust, love, and hope get weaponized — one calculated move at a time.

From promises of meeting, to a “dream job” offer, to diamond rings and love notes from afar, this is the story of how I was emotionally conditioned to believe in a carefully constructed lie.

I’ll share real screenshots on my Facebook page, red flags you might miss, and the chilling details behind a scammer’s playbook — including how I was manipulated into wiring over a million dollars I didn’t own, and ultimately sending my own retirement funds overseas.
