What is a Romance Scam?

Romance scams occur when criminals create fake profiles on dating sites, apps, or social media to build romantic relationships with victims. Once trust is established, they manipulate victims into sending money.

Common tactics include:

  • Creating elaborate fake identities with stolen photos
  • Declaring love quickly and building emotional connections
  • Making excuses to avoid video calls or meeting in person
  • Requesting money for emergencies, travel, or business opportunities
  • Promising to repay but never following through
