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.
💥 This is not “pig-butchering” — it’s psychological warfare.
💔 This is how scammers earn your trust before they break you.
This episode ends where the flames begin. Part 2? That’s when the mask falls off — and I realize just how deep the damage goes.
⚠️ Trigger warning: Financial loss, emotional manipulation, and the raw aftermath of betrayal.
