Romance Scams

Romance scams are among the most emotionally devastating forms of fraud. Scammers build fake relationships to manipulate victims into sending money or cryptocurrency.

Warning signs include relationships that progress unusually quickly, requests for money due to fabricated emergencies, and refusal to meet in person or video chat.

If you suspect a romance scam, cease all communication immediately, preserve all evidence, and report the incident to authorities and our investigation team.

Prevention is key: never send money to someone you haven't met in person, and be skeptical of online relationships that move very quickly.
