Return of a lost love

A return of a lost love refers to a service, often a ritual, that claims to bring back a former partner, sometimes within a guaranteed time frame. It targets people hurt by a breakup, and therefore especially vulnerable. No practice can force another person’s feelings, and the promise runs against the principle of free will. Lost-love offers are one of the favorite hunting grounds of scams: a cheap first ritual, then “complications” that demand ever larger payments.
