Synopsis

            
This appears to be a narrative, literature-based book chapter. It synthesizes cited research and industry statistics to describe online dating, romance scams, catfishing, and international offender activity; no original sample, data collection procedure, or analytic protocol is described in the supplied text. Catfishing involves false online profiles on social-networking sites used to fraudulently seduce another person. The chapter states that online dating romance scams are increasingly conducted by international criminal groups, although lone individuals also engage in them. The supplied text contains only the abstract, introduction, and the beginning of the romance-scam section; the remaining pages are unavailable.

          

        
                  

            
Identified Gaps

            
The chapter identifies a need to distinguish traditional online dating/romance scams, catfishing, and mail-order marriage practices, because offender motivations and potential victimization may differ across these forms. The supplied extract does not provide comparative evidence resolving these differences.

Limitations

            
The supplied text contains only the abstract, introduction, and the beginning of the romance-scam section; the remaining pages are unavailable. Within the available extract, the chapter does not report an original empirical design, sampling strategy, measures, or analysis, limiting assessment of evidentiary strength and generalizability.
