"She thought she found love. A widowed man in Switzerland. Deployed army surgeon. Dreamy photos, poetic messages, plans for a future together. Then she discovered every photo belonged to a male model in Milan—and 'Dr. Marks Williams' didn't exist."
In this episode, we track the takedown of an intricate romance scam operation targeting widows over 50. Using a combination of public databases and reverse image searches, cyber-investigators traced the "Swiss surgeon" to a cafe in Ghana with reliable WiFi. When confronted with proof, the scammer didn't apologize—he laughed, called her "a stupid American," and bragged about the $250,000 he stole from another victim. The evidence was handed to the FBI. The scammer was extradited, convicted, and sentenced to 12 years in federal prison. Featuring interviews with victims, investigators, and the unusual team of scambaiters who hunt romance fraudsters for sport. Press play for the satisfying story of a predator who picked the wrong target.
