The Framework

The RSEI Model™
Version 2.0

The world's only structured behavioural scoring system built specifically for romance fraud. Four pillars. One score. Complete clarity. First framework of its kind anywhere in the world.

What the RSEI Model™ does.

Romance scammers follow patterns. Those patterns are professional, rehearsed and consistent across thousands of cases globally. The RSEI Model™ names those patterns, scores them, and gives every person a clear answer.

Developed through field research, documented case analysis and direct intervention in active scam situations since 2021. First framework of its kind anywhere in the world.

R
Pillar 01
Relationship Acceleration
1—5
Scammers build emotional dependency at a speed no legitimate relationship can sustain. Within days — sometimes hours — they express deep love, plan a future, call you their soulmate. This acceleration is not romance. It is engineering.
Love-bombingSoulmate languageFuture-fakingIsolation from supportIntensity escalation
S
Pillar 02
Script Consistency
1—5
Every romance scammer operates from a script. The details are rehearsed, consistent and designed to be verifiable enough to feel real but untraceable enough to avoid exposure. Common profiles: military officer, oil rig engineer, widowed doctor, international contractor.

E
Pillar 03
Emotional Manipulation
1—5
Scammers build emotional dependency and then weaponise it. Techniques range from guilt induction and manufactured crisis to extreme emotional distress language including suicidal ideation.
E Pillar Independent Trigger — Active at E ≥ 4
When E score reaches 4 or above, OSB mandates a victim support referral regardless of total Core Score and regardless of whether any financial loss has occurred. Emotional harm is real harm.
Guilt inductionMedical emergenciesSuicidal ideation scriptManufactured urgencyAnger on refusal
I
Pillar 04
Incremental Extraction
1—5
Scammers rarely ask for large sums immediately. They start small and escalate. The I pillar also covers money mule recruitment — where the victim is asked to receive, handle or forward money — exposing them to criminal liability regardless of intent.
