It often starts with something small. Your dad seems more cheerful lately, talking about having met someone who 'really understands him.' There's a woman in the picture now, and she's kind, funny, and says she can't wait to meet him.
They haven't met in person yet, but it's always 'soon.'

And that's the moment you stop feeling worried, instead of happy for him, because you know it's a romance scam.
