'Romance Fraud Scammer Killed My Mum' | This Morning

It’s an all too familiar tale, a woman meets the man of her dreams online, who promises her the world only to scam her out of thousands of pounds. For 76 year old Elaine Chamberlain, her alleged scammer 'brainwashed' her into believing they would get married so he could steal her £20,000 life savings before she died with just £120 in the bank and the wedding dress she hoped to wear. Her son Richard joined us in the studio to share Elaine's heartbreaking story.

    Of course it is BUT no matter what, she was a willing participant. And that’s what these scammers manipulate people to do. The victim is so convinced that this is real, they can’t see it. It’s so widespread now, especially in the States and Australia and one woman sent over a million dollars and lost her home, pensions she’d cashed in etc.

    The son was so caring and loving to his mum stayed by her side until the end. He was very wise to get the authorities involved. Professionals involved. I would say a lot of moral support from loving family and friends. I hope his wife and loving fella has wonderful future. 😢❤❤😊😊

    I don’t know what they hand in other countries but in the US there is adult protective services. It was a different situation when my mom was being taken advantage of. I got really scary with them to get them to back off and reported them every way I could. But it made me sad because my mom missed their small child and she really thought they were her friends.

    Tragic story and no doubt many more out there. People fail to understand that the scammer has mastered the art of manipulation, so much so that the victim actually comes to believe what they are being told, and whilst in this honeymoon phase they can't discern the lies from the truth. Scammers can vary from super uber smart to not so, so that in itself will dictate the level and length of engagement, that and the vulnerability of the victim.
