Online Romance Scams

Posted on

Has an online love interest asked you for money? That’s a scam. What to do:

  1. Slow down. Don’t let a scammer rush you.
  2. Never transfer money from your bank account, buy gift cards, or wire money to an online love interest. You won’t get it back. 
  3. Contact your bank right away if you think you’ve sent money to a scammer.
  4. Report your experience to the online dating site and the Federal Trade Commission, https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/
