The 15 States Where People Are Most Likely to Fall for Romance Scams
How to read this record
A source ranks 15 states for susceptibility to romance scams and uses catfishing wording. No ranking methodology, individual case, loss total or country is supplied in the saved passage; treat this as an attributed media comparison rather than measured incidence.
Places in the available evidence
No geographic role could be established from the available text.
Unlisted locations remain unknown. Nationality, language and web address alone do not establish where a scam happened.

No direct connection is recorded. This does not establish that the story is unique.
