Romance scams are a heartbreaking form of fraud that exploit individuals seeking love, companionship, or romantic relationships online. Scammers create fake profiles on social media platforms or dating apps, presenting themselves as desirable partners with whom victims can form emotional connections. However, their true intent is to manipulate victims into sending them money.
In romance scams, scammers invest time and effort to gain the trust and affection of their victims. They engage in lengthy conversations, showering victims with compliments, expressing love and affection, and often sharing personal stories to establish an emotional bond. Once they have gained the victim's trust, they exploit this connection to solicit financial assistance
