An 80-year-old American by the name of Diana Christine Nelson had her heart broken into shreds after travelling over 10,000 km from the United States of America to meet her online lover in Ghana's capital, Accra.
Despite strong warnings by her son that she was being scammed, Diana, blinded by love, did not see all the red flags and could not believe that she was falling prey to a romance scam.
According to a report by myjoyonline.com, the 80-year-old American woman, after briefly hesitating to go on with the online romance and cutting communication with her lover, went in with her whole heart.
Accepting her lover's invitation, the old woman travelled to Accra, only to end up being kidnapped and asked for ransoms she could not afford.
