What’s inside
Four parts, in the order things happen.
Your profile, the conversation, the meeting, and money. Part One is a one-time setup. Everything after it is a routine you keep with everyone, which is what makes it work.
Part One
Your Profile
What you are giving away without meaning to, a separate email and phone number, and the photo and detail hygiene that protects you across every app at once.
Part Two
Before You Meet
A reverse image search and a live video call. Four minutes between them, and they end nearly every fake.
Part Three
Meeting Safely
A meeting plan, public places, your own transport, and a friend who knows where you are. The same routine every time, so it never feels personal.
Part Four
Money & After
The scripts romance fraud uses, why they work on warm and trusting people, and what to do today if you have already sent money or photographs.
Also included
The four separate risks and the habit that covers each one · why the people this works on are not naive · what to do if you are being threatened · and the page to skip straight to if something has already happened.

Questions
Is this for a particular age group?
No. It is written for anyone meeting people online, newly single, long-time single, widowed or divorced, at any age. The scams aim hardest at people in transition, and being in transition is not a weakness.
Something has already happened. Is it too late?
No, and Part Four is written for exactly that. It tells you what to do today, in what order, whether you have sent money, sent photographs you regret, or are being threatened.
Will this make dating feel paranoid?
It shouldn’t, and that is the point of running the same routine with everybody. A routine costs nothing with an honest person, so you never have to make an accusation about anyone in particular.
What do I get, and how?
A PDF, delivered the moment you pay. The link appears on screen and arrives by email as well. No account, no login, no app, and the file is yours to keep and print.
Can I get a refund?
Digital downloads are final sale. Once the file has been delivered there’s no way to return it, and this is a small business protecting work that took thousands of hours to make. If your download doesn’t arrive, or the file won’t open, reply to your receipt and we’ll sort it out. And if you read the whole thing and think it was worthless, write and tell us. That sits outside our policy and we don’t make a habit of it, but we’re not going to argue with you about a PDF.
