Financial Institutions & Frontline Staff
Recognise the Signs. Respond with Empathy. Disrupt the Harm.
Romance fraud is not just about transactions, it’s about trauma. Every transfer, every purchase, every account involved is part of a carefully orchestrated manipulation. And often, the only person with the power to interrupt it in real time… is you.
This page is dedicated to banks, building societies, fraud teams, fintechs, and frontline customer service staff. Whether you’re handling a suspicious transfer, speaking to a distressed customer, or reviewing an account post-disclosure, your response can change everything.
The Impact of Your Words
For many victims, walking into a branch or answering a fraud check is the first time they’re admitting something feels wrong. What you say next may shape their entire recovery.
Dismissal can deepen the shame.
Blame can push them further into secrecy.
But belief – and gentle disruption – can save lives, finances, and futures.
