1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 

7.f4 Nc6 

On the surface, a reasonable looking move, especially in quick games: Black saves his Knight. Appearances can be deceiving. According to The Database, White scores 18 - 5 against it, 78%.

This kind of mistake shows up a lot in Jerome Gambit games against unprepared defenders.

Of note, Grandmaster Simon Williams, in his "My Favorite Opening Traps" gives the move a "?".

8.Qxc5 Qe7 

First thought that comes to mind: protect the Bishop.

9.Qd5+ Kf6 Black resigned

It is checkmate on the move.
