A Love Too Good to Be True: Would You Fall for It?

Synopsis:
A Love Too Good to Be True follows the emotional unravelling of a victim ensnared in a romance scam. What begins as an online connection full of promise slowly reveals manipulation and deceit. As trust turns into exploitation, the victim must confront the painful truth and reclaim her strength.

Always stay vigilant and protect yourself, especially when interacting with people you met online.
