This catalog-style synopsis summarizes a peer-reviewed article published in the Journal of Economic Criminology, examining help-seeking behaviours among people targeted by romance fraud. The piece surveys how victims respond after exposure to deceptive online relationships, with attention to the sequence of actions and the contacts they pursue for assistance. It situates help-seeking within the broader economic-criminology frame, considering how perceived losses, risk, and incentives shape decisions to seek support. The analysis references a range of information sources and support channels, including law enforcement, financial institutions, consumer protection agencies, online platforms, non-governmental organizations, and informal networks. Across the discussion, the focus remains on the factors that encourage or deter help-seeking, the quality and accessibility of available help, and the perceived effectiveness of different avenues for remedy or recovery. The synopsis highlights the article’s contributions to understanding victim experience in romance fraud from an economic-criminology perspective. Potential implications for policy and practice are noted, including the design of clearer reporting pathways, improved access to timely assistance, and measures to strengthen platform safeguards and financial protections. The work also speaks to public education, risk communication, and stigma reduction as elements that influence whether individuals seek help. By mapping existing evidence on help-seeking behaviours, the article aims to inform researchers, practitioners, and policymakers about where interventions may be most effective and where additional research is needed to reduce harms associated with romance fraud.
