Internet Dating Scams
posted 4th October 2022
Despite the number of people affected by romance scams declining post covid, the amount of money lost is still staggering. However, when you are the one affected by a Romance scam, the overall figures are of no consequence.
If you are reading this, the likelihood is that you have already realised that you are a victim or are concerned that you may become one. If you have sent money to someone that you met online that you have subsequently never met, the chances are that you are indeed a victim and have lost your money. Our experience and knowledge of these types of scams indicate that scammers are becoming even more confident, with many now using video calling and having the audacity to show their faces. Not all Romance scammers hide behind the excuse of not having video messaging services, especially the ones based in Europe.
The worldwide economic downturn has led to many more lone wolves becoming involved in Romance scams. With our latest clients being scammed by individuals based in Cyprus and the UK.
