The TV shows had Terue Shinkawa (author and NPO rep for supporting single mothers and step families) as guest to explain and comment about the romance scams.

The real victims appeared on TV and interviewed.(identities were hidden.) One woman said that she sent 12,000,000 JPY to the fake doctor in Syria.
