Why this session and why now
A CNN investigation in March 2026 uncovered organized networks online where men traded advice on drugging and raping their partners, sold sedatives for $175 a bottle, and livestreamed assaults for $20 per viewer.
A recent Freakonomics Radio episode reported that scammers in Southeast Asia stole $10 billion from Americans in 2024. The operations are organized, tech-enabled, and increasingly powered by AI. "Pig butchering" scams target smart, successful people and unfold over months.
Romance scams targeting Americans over 50 have cost more than $1.4 billion in recent years. The scammers are professionals and know exactly how to hit tender spots within single hearts.
You need to be informed so you can date without fear.
A word about the tone of this conversation
This session is about awareness, not fear. The goal is for you to walk away feeling more confident and empowered.
Of course the men doing these things are not "all men." Most men are decent, kind and just as horrified by this news as you are.
We need good men to advocate for women's safety even when (especially when) we're not in the room.
And we need to know how to identify who's safe without good men getting offended when we don't yet know who they are.
That's a reasonable boundary,
not an accusation.
Practical tools you can use immediately
Red flags that matter
The subtle warning signs of romance scammers. These aren't always obvious. Scammers are patient, convincing, and very good at reading people.
Profile protection
How to create a profile that's appealing and authentic without giving away information that puts you at risk.
Financial safety
Why you should never send money, gift cards, or cryptocurrency, no matter how convincing or urgent the story. How "pig butchering" scams work and why smart women fall for them.
Physical safety on dates
Practical tools for meeting in person: transportation, location choices, keeping your drinks safe, and what to do if something feels off.
Trust your gut
How to distinguish between normal nervousness and genuine red flags. Your intuition is a safety tool. This session helps you use it.
This session is for you if you're:
Single and over 50
Currently dating online or thinking about starting
Wanting to feel more confident and secure when meeting new people
Concerned about scams but unwilling to let fear stop you from finding partnership
Wanting to share what you learn with a friend, daughter or sister who dates
A NOTE FROM DIANE
These were intelligent, successful people.
They were targeted by professionals
who knew exactly how to exploit trust and emotion.
The scamming industry generates
billions of dollars a year.
It's organized, tech-enabled, and
increasingly powered by AI.
I'm holding this event because
no one should have to choose between
finding love and protecting themselves.
You can do both.
Date informed. Date confidently. Date safely.
