Warning Signs of Romancre Scam

  • Your new romantic interest sends you a picture that looks more like a model from a fashion magazine than an ordinary snapshot.
  • The person quickly wants to leave the dating website and communicate with you through email or instant messaging.
  • They lavish you with attention. Swindlers often inundate prospective marks with texts, emails and phone calls to draw them in.
  • They repeatedly promise to meet in person but always come up with an excuse to cancel.
  • They make a sudden request for money to deal with an emergency or make a sure-fire investment.

 

How to protect yourself from this scam

  • Take it slowly. Ask your potential partner a lot of questions and watch for inconsistencies that might reveal an impostor. 
  • Talk to family and friends about a new love interest and pay attention if they have concerns.
  • Check an online suitor's profile photo using Google’s image search. If the same picture shows up elsewhere with a different name attached to it, that’s a sign a scammer may have stolen it.
  • Be wary of flirtatious and overly complimentary emails. Paste the text into a search engine and see whether the same words show up on websites devoted to exposing romance scams.
  • Cut off contact immediately if you begin to suspect that the individual may be a swindler.
  • Notify the dating site or the maker of the dating app on which you met the scammer.
  • Be wary even if you’re the one who made first contact. Scammers flood dating websites with fake profiles and wait for victims to come to them.
  • Limit the amount of personal information you provide in a dating profile or to someone you’ve chatted with only online. Scammers can exploit details like your last name or where you work to manipulate you or to commit identity theft.
  • Never share intimate photos to an online acquaintance. They could end up being used for sextortion.
  • Don't send cash, cryptocurrency or gift cards or put money on a reloadable debit card for someone you've only interacted with online — you’ll never get it back.
