Detecting love scamming
- Fast emotionality :
Love scammers express deep feelings very quickly, often after just a few messages. They are very charming and flattering to gain the trust of their victims. - Incomplete profiles :
Scammers' profiles are often incomplete and vague. They typically have few friends or followers on social media and their photos often appear staged or professionally taken. - Avoiding in-person meetings :
Scammers avoid in-person meetings at all costs. Instead, they prefer to communicate online or over the phone. - Asking for money :
The crucial point is when the scammer asks for money. This can happen in various ways, for example through an alleged emergency or investments in a shared future.
Love scamming prevention
- Be skeptical :
If someone you met online admits to deep feelings too quickly, you should be skeptical. - Don't share personal information :
Don't share personal or financial information with people you meet online. - Verify Profile :
Use search engines or image search engines to verify the user's profile picture and information. - Avoid money transfers :
Never send money to someone you met online, regardless of the reason.
What to do if you become a victim of love scamming?
- Discontinue contact :
If you suspect that you are a victim of love scamming, discontinue contact immediately. - Inform the police :
Report the incident to your local police station. You should have all the information and evidence you have ready. - Report it to the platform :
Also inform the platform or service where you met the scammer.
