Romance scams are still very common, and people, young and old, have been victims. They take place online, usually on dating sites. Fraudsters use various tactics and excuses, and usually have their intended victim move off the dating site and start communicating by text message or phone.
Some suspects spend weeks or months convincing their victims of their genuine affection and sincerity before they ask for cash or a cheque to help them get out of some type of trouble. Some victims send money more than once, sometimes over a period of months, before they realize they have been duped.
Help prevent romance scams:
- Be wary of anyone you have never met in person and do not send them money.
- Take it slow and research what you can about the person on the internet.
- Do an image search with pictures the person shares with you.
- Never share intimate photos or videos of yourself that could later be used to blackmail you for money.
