Synopsis (AI-Generated)
This descriptive, documentary, and journalistic study examines Romance Scam, international trafficking of women, and legal framing. It relies on books and, mainly, data collected from the internet. It discusses reported examples, previously produced statistics on records in Par'a from 2018 to 2020, Brazilian criminal legislation, a bill, and a judicial decision on human trafficking. Romance scammers use false internet profiles and invented circumstances to establish a romantic relationship with a victim. The scam operates by gaining a victim's trust in order to manipulate the victim's life. The approach is predominantly documentary and journalistic, with data mainly obtained online; the text does not report a search protocol, selection criteria, analytic procedure, or primary data collection.
Identified Gaps (AI-Generated)

It also suggests insufficient attention to the issue, arguing that it should be addressed more so that ways to confront it can emerge. It does not present an empirical evaluation of interventions, police investigations, or platforms.
