Dating is Such a Drag

That's why this week's guest is fitness guru and tarot reader LJ Regine, who shares tips on how he managed to get back on the fitness track when he and his partner split, and how it helped him discover a new talent -- reading tarot cards!
LJ shares his insights, including info on how he works with clients on fitness and tarot readings!

When Stealing Your Heart Becomes a Crime

Dating is Such a Drag

10/10/22 • 95 min

Dating for successful people of a certain age can be a drag under any circumstances, but in the age of romance fraud, it can be an absolute nightmare if you’re not careful.

That’s why this week’s “Dating is Such a Drag” podcast features international romance scam expert Debby Montgomery Johnson, director of The Society of Citizens Against Relationship Scams (SCARS). Co-hosts celebrity dating coach Jeanne Sullivan Billeci, The Soul Mate Coach, and celebrity drag queen/leadership coach Marcus Hunter-Neill, a.k.a. Lady Portia DiMonte—talk with Johnson about the leading ways scammers are targeting men and women on dating sites and social media, and how to avoid financial and emotional disaster—or even death.

Johnson, who has consulted with the FBI and written a book, “The Woman Behind The Smile,” shares her personal experience with a “love” that turned into betrayal and financial disaster, and the importance of not shaming the victims, which in turn prevents 97% of them from reporting the crime and inhibits law enforcement’s options in fighting this multi-billion-dollar industry.

“We need to stop minimizing these crimes as ‘scams’ and call it like it is—fraud—so it’s taken more seriously,” said Johnson, who points out that these are highly trained, sophisticated criminals who’ve gotten increasingly bold in carrying out everything from traditional dating scams and bad financial investments to kidnapping, which has even led to death in some cases.

During the episode, the trio discuss their own brushes with potential fraudsters and tips and tricks they discovered to staying safe and being supportive to victims, who are often friends or family who’ve been brainwashed and need help. While people of all ages are targeted, the fastest-growing sector is people over 60.
