Love Cons: Why Men Get Fooled in Love And How to Spot the Truth

from Men on the Path to Love · host Bill Simpson

In this episode, I explore the world of love cons or romance scams—how they start, why they work on smart men, and the subtle manipulation that turns affection into control. From love bombing to isolation to the inevitable “urgent” request, I let you in on the con artist’s methods so you can see it coming and shut it down before it's too late. I share the real life story of "John" who was love conned out of tens of thousands of dollars, losing both his savings and his heart mistaking intensity for intimacy. I also share my own close call with a different kind of con.
