Romance Scams

Love, they say, is blind. But it shouldn’t be blind to scams. Romance fraudsters woo you, charm you, and then - ask for money.

The Seduction:

Fake profiles. Handsome, successful, mysterious.

Emotional bonding. They’re “falling for you.”

Money requests. Emergencies, travel, investments.

Security Advice:

  • Be cautious. Especially if they never meet you.
  • Don’t send money. Love doesn’t cost £500 in gift cards.
  • Trust your gut. It’s smarter than you think.
