ROMANCE FRAUD
An increasing number of people are falling victim to romance fraud, which do not only cause financial harm, but also can inflict emotional and mental damage to those victims. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, romance may be high on many people’s agenda as they seek an appropriate way to celebrate the day. However, at the same time criminals are using this as an opportunity to devise new scams to defraud their victims on dating Sites and social media.
At this time of the year there is a rise in Romance Frauds as the fraudsters draw their victims into false relationship, gain their confidence, before the requests for money start to come in. These are accompanied by heart rending pleas about personal, or family problems, and emergencies which need finance.
Are any platforms safe?
Fraudsters continue to target users of popular social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, as well as dating sites such as Tinder and Plenty of Fish, and many others.
Messaging sites such as Google Hangouts and WhatsApp may also be used to find unsuspecting victims.
As well as conventional dating platforms, online Gaming platforms may be used to seek potential victims since there are fewer protective measures in place.
Who are their targets?
Females over 40 years are common victims as well as younger males, but users also need to be aware on age related dating platforms too.
How does it work?
Basically, criminals will go to great lengths to gain the victim’s trust by claiming they are in a genuine relationship which is built up over time
