This is a true story of real people and the victim is older than 55 and retired in the USA. This is a national shame to have our people, majority is elderly women, so ready to help that they don't discern reality from fraud. On the other hand, fraud wouldn't exist if it weren't successful. So, is she to blame for this episode in her life. I don't think so. She was willing to be loved by a man that should be admirable. A surgeon, working with a team of professionals in a dangerous part of the world.
She also faced a website that functions as a real world entity and unless she knew to check the social page for real links, there was no reason to question whether this was a real company or not. The victim was in love and operating within an online environment that for all intent and purpose was real and responding to her as it should.
She is fine. Wilfred? Well. No one knows for sure. If he is injured the victim hopes he will be okay, but, she can't trust him after this and will never know if he ever recovered.
No matter how fraudulent the episode, the Stockholm Syndrome makes it real to the victim.
Good night.
