Protection

Spotting fake wealth, recognizing a dangerous profile, understanding prenuptial agreements and keeping your financial independence.

This section covers the checks that come before any commitment, in two distinct grids that do not replace each other. The first concerns money: visible lifestyle tells you nothing about net worth, and nine signs separate financed wealth from established wealth. The second concerns control: ten signs of a dangerous relational profile, from how he treats staff to love bombing and progressive isolation.

The romance scam guide joins the two, with the four-phase pattern, the legitimate checks and what to do if you have already paid. Read them in that order. One rule comes back throughout: no loan, no guarantee, no signature, no transfer in the first two years.
