Their modus operandi sometimes include offering money to smoothen the process, especially by the older ones. Some, mostly the younger ones don't offer money. They actually suck up to unsuspecting victims, and charm them into relationships. Like, they get into a whole boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with another woman, as if they do not have a wife and a couple of kids at home.
That's exactly what happened to Rose 's [not her real name] friend in their final year in University. As Rose narrates to me: "She ran into this guy at a bar where she was attending a friend's birthday and they just hit it off from there. Everything," Rose says, a bitter smile on her face at the recollection of what happened almost four years back.
Eventually, as it often happens, the truth came out and the fake relationship had to end.
