As a psychic, I’ve had the honor of guiding people through some of their most tender and transformational moments. Many of my clients have been with me for years — some for over a decade — and I truly love them like family. We’ve shared so much together: healing, heartbreak, celebration, and growth.
But there’s one pattern I see again and again that still breaks my heart: women coming to me asking about men they’ve met online — men who seem perfect, too perfect — only to discover they’re entangled in a love scam.
I thought to share a client's recent story with you, Names have been changed to protect privacy.
"Saved by Intuition: How I Helped Sarah Escape a Love Scam"
When Sarah first came to me, her energy was buzzing with hope—but beneath that, I sensed something else. A quiet desperation. She told me she'd met someone online, a charming man named “Daniel,” who seemed too good to be true. He was overseas on business, couldn’t video call, but sent daily messages filled with love, poetry, and promises of a future together.
As a psychic, I’ve learned to listen not just to the words people say, but to the frequency of what they feel.
When I connected with Sarah’s energy during our reading, something felt… off. The “Daniel” she described radiated no emotional signature. Usually, when someone is in love, even at a distance, I can tap into that bond—it has a certain warmth, like a golden thread. But this one? It was cold. Artificial. Like a copied emotion, not a lived one.
I gently asked her if she'd ever questioned why he couldn’t video chat. She hesitated. “He said his camera’s broken,” she replied. I asked about money—had he asked for any? Her eyes lowered. “Yes,” she admitted, “just a small loan. For his hotel bills.”
That’s when I knew.
I didn't shame her. I held space for her pain, her vulnerability, and most of all, her hope. Love is a powerful force—it can blind us, even the smartest of us.
We dug deeper together, and I guided her through an energetic clearing to help her detach from the illusion. I gave her steps to protect herself emotionally and digitally, and later she did her own research. She found dozens of women had been approached by the same “Daniel,” using identical photos and messages.
Sarah was heartbroken—but free.
Weeks later, she messaged me to say thank you. Not just for “seeing the truth,” but for helping her see it for herself. She's now more grounded, empowered, and has even started volunteering to educate others on online romance fraud.
Because that’s the real magic—not just knowing the future, but helping someone rewrite it.
The “Widowed” Dream Man
One of the most common stories my clients hear from these scammers is this:
“I lost my wife years ago. I’ve been alone ever since... until I met you.”
It’s no accident that this comes up so often. Scammers use this story to build instant emotional intimacy. They create a sense of vulnerability, of loss, of deep longing — and it makes my clients feel special, chosen, and emotionally needed. It’s a powerful hook.
These men usually appear to be extremely handsome — like model-handsome. They send photos that look like they belong on the cover of a magazine. Often, the images are stolen from social media or professional profiles. And when someone that attractive seems emotionally available, romantic, and ready to build a future? It can be very convincing.
The Trap Is Set Carefully
Scammers don’t rush. They build trust slowly. They call, they text constantly, and they make you feel seen and adored. They tell you how different you are from anyone they’ve ever met. They use pet names, talk about marriage, and even speak about meeting your family. They create this fantasy relationship that feels so real… even though you’ve never met in person.
Then the excuses start. They can’t video chat because they’re in a restricted area, or their camera broke. They can’t come visit because they’re overseas for work. They promise it’s temporary — and then they hit you with the crisis.
“I need money to book a flight home.”
“My bank account is frozen — can you help?”
“There was an emergency, and I have no one else to turn to.”
They never ask for much at first. Just a little help. Just this once. But it doesn’t stop there. Each time you help, you’re pulled deeper into their web.
How I Help — With Intuition and Compassion
When clients come to me about these men, I listen closely. I know what love feels like, and I know what deception feels like. My readings are guided by energy, truth, and spirit. And more often than not, I can feel when something is off.
I never judge. I hold space. I’ve seen how deeply these scammers get into people’s hearts, and how painful it is to realize the truth. But I’ve also seen the power of clarity. The moment when a client finally says, “I knew something didn’t feel right” — that’s when healing begins.
What to Watch For
If you’ve met someone online and you're unsure whether their intentions are real, watch for these signs:
-
They say they’re widowed and talk about how lonely they’ve been since losing their spouse.
-
They’re extremely attractive — their photos look professionally taken, and they never send new or casual pictures.
-
They avoid live video chats, always blaming technical or situational issues.
-
They claim to be overseas — working in the military, oil industry, international business, etc.
-
They ask for money or financial favors, often in the form of emergencies or “temporary” problems.
-
They rush intimacy — saying “I love you” quickly, making big promises, and talking about the future very early on.
