The criminals are setting up online dating profiles to lure victims into fake romance relationships and quickly trapping them in a dangerous cycle of debt. One victim was tricked into taking out a loan after telling her new love interest about her financial problems. She initially borrowed £3,000 but her debt soon spiralled out of control. She contacted the IMLT for help when the loan shark demanded £10,000 and sexual favours to pay off her debt.
