Romance Scams
Romance scams involve fraudsters creating fake profiles on dating sites or social media to establish romantic relationships with their targets. They build trust over time and then fabricate scenarios where they need money, such as a medical emergency or travel expenses to visit you. To avoid romance scams, be cautious with your personal and financial information. Never send money or share your banking details with someone you have only met online. Conducting a reverse image search of profile pictures can help verify a person’s identity.
