⚠️ Note: This film contains many sequences with flickering light that could have a triggering effect on people with epilepsy or who are highly sensitive to light. A textbook romance scam: The scammer tricks his victims into believing they are in love, then invents a situation of need and finally rips them off. So far, so classic. But unlike in many other cases, the alleged perpetrator here does not have a fake profile, nor is he a bot; he has a name and a face. Magnus R. is said to have cheated many people out of a lot of money. However, the victims' reports come to nothing. The investigations against Magnus R. have been discontinued. Among other things, because he could not be found. But is it really that difficult to find the scammer? STRG_F reporter Lenja looks for him for this film where he is apparently on the lookout for new victims. On a dating platform. This time, the alleged scammer falls into the trap himself. He has no idea that he is chatting with a decoy. Will he pull the same scam on Lenja? Or will he be careless and tell her where he is? Lenja and her colleagues Sina and Hanna use sunset apps to help them, analyse photos of cakes wrapped in plastic and finally get support from Geoguessrs. Will they find the dating scammer this way?
