I know this was based on true events and unfortunately romance scams are alive and well. I've seen posts of women who have been scammed out of $20K, $40K and even $100K.
Parts of this movie were cringey. I'm sure they accelerated the timeline of events and it probably would have been better told as a docu-series instead of trying to do it in a Lifetime movie format.
There were a few times where I literally said "she can't be that gullible to pay for a bill like that and that high and then from there on everything else that ensued.
A docu-series on Lifetime would have been better and it would probably help more people, especially ladies to stop giving money to men, no matter the circumstances.
