In his experience, it is often greed.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion on Ghana Connect follows a coordinated simultaneous raid in Ghana and in the UK which led to the arrest of three Ghanaians part of a syndicate.<\/p>\n<p>Their crime allegedly was that they sweet talked their way into the hearts of their vulnerable female victims.<\/p>\n<p>After winning their trust, they exploited that relationship to take money from their and steal their online personal information for further cash withdrawals and unauthorized internet purchases.<\/p>\n<p>But what will make a woman fall for a man she just met on the internet and vice versa? And what really is the crime in exploiting a woman\u2019s trust, love and emotion for cash. Counselor Lutterodt believes if you can part with huge monies on the basis of meeting a person on the internet whose identity cannot be verified, then &#8220;you are not normal&#8221;. He said he has a case of a Ghanaian woman who took a \u00a298,000 loan to help a foreigner clear his car in the hope of marriage and green pastures. &#8220;It is greed not love so when they say it is romance, I don&#8217;t know where the romance is coming from. People are looking for what is not there and they are hiding in the name of love to disgrace themselves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So when you hear somebody is defrauded, legally it is wrong, but socially it is right,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>In some of the reactions to the discussions on social media, a woman who works with the NHS in the UK testified to encountering a victim of romance fraud. She explained that a patient on the verge of a mental breakdown after parting with \u00a315,000 of her life-savings after falling in love with a Ghanaian man.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 24 updated by: 24 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Monday, 23 October 2017 Source: Myjoyonline.com 2017-10-23 Counsellor George Lutterodt &#13; Controversial relationship analyst George Lutterodt has suggested victims of romance fraud, deserve no sympathy.
