How it works
Foreigners are targeted through dating apps and social media by profiles claiming to be Tunisian or expat women seeking relationships. After building rapport, they invent emergencies (medical bills, travel costs, visa fees) and request money via Western Union or bank transfer. The conversation ends after payment. This exploits romantic interest and the perception of poverty-driven requests.
