Most people picture a romance scam as a single con artist working a dating app. The reality behind many of today's operations is bigger and more organised: large-scale scam centres, often run by criminal syndicates, that recruit victims of their own into carrying out the fraud under coercion.
That doesn't change the advice for the person being targeted, be cautious of relationships that move fast, that stay entirely online, and that eventually turn to requests for money or investment, but it does explain why these operations are so persistent and well-resourced.
For businesses, the relevance isn't abstract: the same social-engineering techniques used to build trust in a romance scam show up in business email compromise and long-con invoice fraud. Recognising the pattern in one context makes it easier to spot in another.
