New #Blog post - My #scammer girlfriend: baiting a romance fraudster

Warning, this is a **long** post.

I decided to fall for a #RomanceFraud campaign so that I could see what #SocialEngineering techniques they used and what data _they_ leaked.

They spent 3 weeks building the storyline + relationship before eventually asking for money
