What's a Romance Scam?
It's when scammers create fake profiles to trick individuals into false romantic relationships. Once trust is built, they might ask for money or financial details with made-up reasons.
Spotting a Scam:
-
Too Perfect Profiles: Watch out for profiles that seem too polished or use stock-like photos.
-
Quick to Change Platforms: Be alert if they urge moving to email or texts soon after meeting.
-
Frequent Emergencies: Scammers often claim sudden crises needing financial help.
-
Evasive on Details: They might dodge personal questions.
-
Poor Grammar/Spelling: This could indicate a non-native English speaker.
Keeping Your Data Safe:
-
No Financial Sharing: Never give out personal financial details.
-
Stay Skeptical: Money requests from someone you've never met? Red flag.
-
Research: Cross-check their photo, name, or profile online.
-
Choose Trustworthy Dating Sites: Opt for sites that actively weed out suspicious users.
-
Report Doubtful Behavior: Inform platform admins and consider notifying the police.
