Romance scams don’t happen by accident.
 They follow a script.

In this episode of The Romance Scam Rebellion, I'll break down the exact psychological playbook scammers use worldwide to brainjack trust, attachment, and decision-making—tactic by tactic, step by step.

What feels like love…
 What feels like destiny…
 What feels deeply personal…

…is actually engineered.

In the Season 2 opener, Anola exposes the hidden psychological mechanism powering nearly every modern romance scam: love bombing. This isn’t just cheesy sweet talk — it’s a deliberate strategy built to overwhelm your emotions and chemically hijack your brain. Using her own experience with “Pedro,” she illustrates how scammers identify emotional vulnerabilities, flood victims with affection, and use dopamine and oxytocin to create deep, false attachment that bypasses logic and silences red flags.

This episode breaks down how victims get “brainjacked,” why the relationship feels real, why walking away is so dif...

After my first disaster, I needed more than closure — I needed the truth. This episode follows my painful journey chasing the “real man” behind a fake profile, hoping to find answers and redemption.

But chasing closure led me into a second scam, where the same patterns played out again — the lies, the manipulation, the gut-wrenching betrayals. I recount my cautious attempts to connect, the video chats, and the shocking revelations that left me questioning everything once more.

Through this raw, personal story, I explore the brutal psychology of a second s...

This episode is deeply personal. It’s about betrayal, financial trauma, and the painful moment when denial breaks — when the fantasy shatters and harsh truth takes hold.

Despite growing doubts, desperation pushed me forward. As suspicion grew, so did the distance between us. Love messages faded, replaced by transactions and demands.

Then came the moment that changed everything: an unexpected call from an unexpected source — confirmation of what I’d been fearing. I was caught in a scam. I share the gut-wrenching phone call, the confession to my family, and how...

What happens when the truth stares you in the face — and you still can’t accept it?

In this painfully honest episode, I take you back to the moment the fairytale started to unravel. A street sign in Hebrew. A reverse image search. A friend’s warning I couldn’t heed.  The signs were everywhere… and I explained them all away.

When the heart wants the fairytale, the mind finds a way to believe it — no matter how absurd it gets.

Because awareness costs clicks.

In this bonus episode, we dig into how Big Tech profits from your engagement — even when that engagement leads you into the hands of scammers. We expose why tools that empower users get buried, how platforms benefit from deception, and what happens when prot...
