Help wanted: Love scam and vulnerable young adults: is there any research?
I am looking for material or reserach:
Are young adults, who are mentally ill or having learning disabilities, more likely a victim for love scams? is there any research or awareness material somewhere?
Any experts to be asked in our network? (my collegue, who did some research on love scams doesn't know anything concerning this target group, but thinks it could be a very relevant topic for them)
Thanks!
