After receiving the desired, they either stop communicating or leave no attempts to "keep begging" the simpleton, maintaining their interest. Usually, their catch does not exceed 50 dollars and the victims are well-off men, aimed at finding relationships without obligations and who mostly will not apply to the authorities for such an amount.
The key feature of such a scammer (this can be not only a woman but also a man behind the female photo) is that they will never communicate directly by phone or video, will avoid asking about themselves and will ignore any requests for new photos.

Of course, they will write that they are from the most developed countries, like the USA, Canada or France, etc. They like to write about horrible accidents, diseases, unexpected burglaries and other different troubles that have occurred to them and, at the same time, about their pure love to the “victim.” They assure their victims that if it were not these problems, they would have already been with them, but they don’t have money for the ticket and some bleeding-heart people send money to them, ignoring the facts about scams.
