Summary
To mark Valentine's Day and the season of romance, we're re-spinning an incredibly important episode. More than £106m was lost to romance fraud in the UK in 2025, a 9% increase on the year before. Deepfake technology is also making these scams far more sophisticated than before. Our expert host, Marit Rødevand , is joined by Anna Rowe , Co-Founder of LoveSaid , and Simon Miller , Director of Policy and Communications at Stop Scams UK , to ask: Can fincrime professionals fight romance fraud? The panel discuss: the biggest challenges in tackling romance fraud, the solutions needed from the compliance industry, and the importance of post-fraud support for victims.
