It causes financial and emotional devastation, yet many people refuse to take it seriously. This is the story of one middle-aged woman in a cardigan determined to understand this growing phenomenon. No other woman has had so many online romances - from Keanu Reeves to Brad Pitt to Prince William - and Becky Holmes is a favourite among peacekeeping soldiers and oil rig workers who desperately need iTunes vouchers. By winding up scammers and investigating the truth behind their profiles, Becky shines a revealing, revolting and hilarious light on a very shady corner of the internet. Featuring first-hand accounts of victims, examples of scripts used by fraudsters, a look into the psychology of fraud and of course plenty of Becky's hysterical interactions with scammers, this is a must-read for anyone who needs a reminder that Keanu Reeves is NOT in love with them." -- $c Amazon.com. 600 10 $a Holmes, Becky. 650 0 $a Online dating $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Swindlers and swindling. 650 0 $a Fraud. 650 0 $a Online manipulation. 650 0 $a Autobiographies. 941 $a 1 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524010339.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F3B1197C199211EFAA2C9EE853ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UOKInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
