Type of scam where scammers form a fake romantic relationship with an individual, often online, with the intention of deceiving them into providing money or personal information. These scams typically prey on individuals seeking love, companionship, or emotional connections.
Stay vigilant if your romantic interest asks for money, avoids face-to-face meetings, or shows emotional and intimate interest rapidly. Scammers tend to exploit emotions and build trust quickly. If you notice these, approach with skepticism, verify their identity, avoid sending money and ask for advice from trusted friends and family members.
