About this episode

Why do we blame victims of romance scams for trusting someone who deceived them? We examine how love changes perceptions of financial exploitation, why shame prevents victims from speaking out, and how hindsight distorts our understanding of manipulation. From romance fraud to sexual assault allegations and #MeToo, we explore why victims are so often scrutinized instead of the people accused of exploiting their trust.
