Beware of fake online lovers
⚠️Millions of people use online dating websites, apps, or social media to find companionship. For those who do meet a special someone online, it can be a breathtaking experience that makes you want to prioritize love above all else.
⚠️Unfortunately, some scammers take advantage of people looking to find romantic partners – lurking online to steal their hearts… and their crypto.
⚠️Scammers’ messages are often poorly written and vague. Be alert to spelling and grammar mistakes, inconsistencies in their stories, and other signs that they are hiding their real identity. For instance, be cautious if they always avoid meeting in person or if their camera never works during video calls.
✅Be alert if an online relationship escalates too quickly from first contact to deep professions of love.
✅Check the background of your potential partner before pursuing a deeper relationship. You can use image search applications such as TinEye or Google to check if the person is who they say they are. You can also try searching online for the full name of the person you’re chatting with, their job, and the keywords like “scammer,” “romance scam,” or “dating fraud.”
✅Never send crypto&money to someone you haven’t met in person.
