网上约会浪漫骗局是一种相对较新的在线欺诈形式。本文来自三个定性研究：对公共在线支持小组的帖子进行分析，对这一罪行的受害者进行深入采访，并与严重有组织犯罪机构官员进行采访，以概述这一骗局的解剖。在这里，有人认为，这一罪行有五个不同的阶段。在第一阶段，犯罪分子创造了一个有吸引力的形象来吸引受害者;在第二阶段，犯罪分子培养受害者，让他们准备汇款;在第三阶段，犯罪分子开始向受害者要求资金（在这个阶段有四个潜在的轨迹）;在第四阶段，只有少数人经历过，受害者通过网络性行为受到性虐待;最后，第五阶段是揭露。了解这种骗局的解剖结构对于预防和心理治疗都很重要。
The Online Dating Romance Scam is a relatively new form of online fraud. This article draws from three qualitative studies: an analysis of posts from a public online support group, in-depth interviews with victims of this crime and an interview with a Serious Organised Crime Agency officer to outline the anatomy of this scam. It is argued here that there are five distinct stages of this crime. In Stage 1, the criminal creates an attractive profile to draw in the victim; in Stage 2, the criminal grooms the victim, priming them to send money; in Stage 3, the criminal begins to request funds from the victim (there a four potential trajectories at this stage); in Stage 4, which only a few went through, the victim is sexually abused via cybersex; and finally Stage 5 is the revelation. Understanding the anatomy of this scam is important for prevention as well as psychological treatment.
