SEASON 3 EPISODE 3
The Data Behind Heartbreak: Unveiling Romance Scams
Hosted by Rhetta Chappell
Conversation with Dr Jacqueline Drew and Dr Tom Verhelst
In 2021, Australians lost a staggering $210 million to romance scams, contributing to a total of $3.1 billion lost to various scams as reported by the ACCC.
In this episode, we delve into the complex world of romance scams, magnified by the alarming rise of deepfake technology. Featuring expert insights from Dr. Jacqueline Drew, we explore the sophisticated tactics scammers use, from love bombing to deepfake videos, and the significant financial and emotional toll on victims. Learn about the challenges in data coordination, victimology, and the steps being taken globally to combat these scams.
