❤️ YOUR SAFETY MATTERS – BEFORE YOU START A RELATIONSHIP, TAKE THE TIME TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO ❤️
In today’s world of dating apps and social media, it’s never been more important to protect yourself. Whether you’re hoping to date someone, are already speaking to someone new, or are entering a relationship, please remember that your physical, emotional, mental and sexual health all matter.
Not everyone is who they claim to be online.
Take your time. Ask questions. Trust your instincts. Never feel pressured into rushing a relationship or ignoring concerns because someone tells you all the right things.
🚩 If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore those red flags.
Some warning signs can include:
* Moving the relationship very quickly.
* Wanting to keep the relationship secret.
* Giving inconsistent information about their life.
* Refusing to meet or always having excuses.
* Asking for money or financial help.
* Dating multiple people without honesty or transparency.
* Manipulative or controlling behaviour.
If you have concerns about someone’s past behaviour, or you feel you may be at risk, consider applying under Claire’s Law (The Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme). It may help you make an informed decision about your safety where there is a risk of harm.
💙 Please remember:
* Speak to trusted friends or family if you are unsure.
* Never be afraid to ask for advice.
* If you’ve been emotionally hurt, manipulated or believe you’ve been targeted by a romance scammer or someone deceiving multiple partners, report it.
* If you believe a crime has been committed, contact your local police or report fraud to Action Fraud.
* If you’d like to share your experience confidentially with our campaign, you are welcome to contact us. Every piece of information could help protect someone else.
Your health is just as important as your emotional wellbeing. If you’ve been in a relationship with someone you met online and have any concerns, please consider visiting a sexual health clinic for routine STI testing. Looking after yourself is never something to feel embarrassed about.

Our Campaign
At Stop Romance Fraud UK, our mission is to raise awareness, support victims, and encourage the reporting of information that may help protect others.
Our current priority remains assisting police with enquiries relating to Daniel Graham Brandle (also known as Daniel Olley), who is wanted in connection with active warrants. However, we also continue to receive reports relating to other suspected romance fraudsters and individuals who are believed to be misleading or simultaneously deceiving multiple partners.
We encourage anyone with relevant information or personal experiences to contact us privately. All information is treated sensitively and, where appropriate, shared with the relevant police force.
❤️ Recognise. Report. Protect.
Together we can help keep people safer—physically, mentally, emotionally and financially. If sharing your story helps even one person avoid becoming a victim, it could make all the difference.
Report Fraud UK is the place to report, prevent, and learn about cyber crime & fraud
