ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
More people are using online dating websites and apps than ever before, in hope of finding love in the digital age. According to a recent Pew Research Center study, 1 in 5 Americans aged 50 to 64 have used online dating in the past to find companionship. While online dating is convenient and has a lot of advantages, it can also be risky business. Scammers are using various dating websites, apps and social media platforms to take advantage of lonely hearts by creating fake profiles to gain trust and form a relationship with a victim. They are masters of manipulation, and while the relationship may feel genuine to a victim, it most certainly is only a means to an end for the scammer. "Hooked on a Feeling" takes you on a journey to explore the dark and sinister world of romance scams and unmasks the heartless industry that has ruined so many lives.
