    [abstract] => This study looks at online romance scams in Bontoc, Mountain Province. It focuses on the emotional and financial impacts on unmarried victims. Through interviews with four victims, we identified common scam tactics. These include catfishing, emotional manipulation, and fake crises. Victims experienced emotional distress, financial losses, and lasting distrust. Their coping methods involved emotional suppression, avoidance, and heightened awareness. The findings show a strong need for targeted digital literacy and community prevention programs to help reduce the risk of online scams.
