LILLOOET, B.C. — RCMP say a Lillooet woman was swindled out of more than $23,000 by a South African man she thought was her soulmate.

The woman told RCMP she had travelled to South Africa in 2021. While she was there, she met a man who appeared to be well-to-do and well-connected, falling “madly in love” with him.

She returned to Canada but made plans for the man to join her shortly.

Not long after her return, the man started asking her for money to help with various expenses, including plane tickets and diamonds.
