Answer

Are romance scams a problem for people living in Mallorca long term?

Yes, especially for people who are new to the island, live alone, or rely heavily on online contact for social connection. The risk is not limited to tourists, because scammers look for anyone who is emotionally reachable and willing to trust quickly. Community spaces in Mallorca, such as local advice centres and language schools, can help people recognise the pattern earlier.
