A 57-year-old woman from America tragically took her own life after falling victim to a romance scam.
Laura Kowal, a widow, made the heartbreaking decision to end her life after being scammed of $1.5 million by a Ghanaian man she met on the dating site Match.com.
Believing she was in a relationship with a man named Frank Borg, Laura was devastated to discover that the photos of her online partner actually belonged to a Chilean doctor, and his emails originated from Ghana, according to FBI agents.
Before her untimely death, Laura left a suicide note expressing her anguish and sense of betrayal, stating, “I’ve been living a double life this past year. It has left me broke and broken. Yes, it involves Frank, the man I met through online dating. I tried to stop this many times, but I knew I would end up dead.”
