Elderly woman victim of romance scam

According to the police, the woman and the man must have started a relationship via social media. For some time they have been in close contact, before he started threatening to destroy files on her computer if she did not send more money, writes Jönköpings-Posten.

– One might think that it would be easy to trace this money, but it is not always so, but it ends up abroad far from Sweden, says Mats Pettersson, the police’s press officer.
