Answer

How do romance scams usually work on social media in Mallorca?

Romance scams often start with a friendly message on social media and quickly move to private chat apps. The scammer builds trust over time, then asks for money for travel, paperwork, or an emergency. In Mallorca, the same pattern can be especially convincing because many people use social platforms to meet new contacts and stay in touch across borders.
