Arnacoeurs, the online love scammers Temps présent on 02.11.2018 This is the story of several women and men who were looking for love, tenderness, to live a little piece of the dream, like all of us, no doubt. They turned to the internet, its social networks and its dating platforms, where it seems so easy to find love with a click. They thought they had found love, but behind the enchanting profile of their correspondent, or correspondent, was hiding a scammer. Cunning, skillful, excellent actors and experts in photo and CV manipulation, these love scammers, these "arnacoeurs", catch their prey, often at a difficult time in life, alone. Once their victim has fallen in love, these web predators begin their patient business of "sextortion", the art of extracting increasingly large sums of money. In this report, you will hear how, for example, one of these victims gave up nearly 90,000 francs, others their pension funds. For this daring investigation, Isabelle Ducret and Olga Baillif followed the trail of the scammers, who in Africa are called "brouteurs". Because that is often where the crooks are active. They used false identities to trap the criminals at their own game. They also went to the Ivory Coast where the brouteurs showed them with disarming sincerity how they operate and why they have made a career out of it, despite the harm they cause.
