The Rip and Scam Team is profoundly distressed by the tragic loss of Ms. Laura Kowal, who took her own life. Despite our relentless efforts over the past 15 years to combat romance scams, these malicious romance scam schemes continue to harm many. It is a stark reminder that the individuals perpetrating these scams are ruthless criminals who exploit the vulnerability of innocent people. We are committed to intensifying our fight against romance scams globally.
In collaboration with other dedicated anti-scam organizations and law enforcement agencies, we strive to eliminate this heinous crime. We honor Laura Madam’s memory—a steadfast ally in our mission—and pledge to continue our work with renewed vigor to prevent future tragedies. Her passing deeply saddens us, but it strengthens our resolve. We will not allow her death to be in vain; we will redouble our efforts to protect potential victims and put an end to romance scams.
This tragic loss should not be viewed merely as a suicide; it is, unequivocally, a blatant act of murder. The devastating impact of this crime reflects a dire need for accountability. Those responsible for such heinous actions must be relentlessly pursued and brought to justice.
It is imperative that we commit to thorough investigations and legal actions to ensure that all involved are held accountable. This is not only about seeking justice for the victim but also about upholding the rule of law to prevent such tragedies in the future. Justice must be served without delay, and with the full force of our legal system.
