Be Aware of Romance Scams.

Scammers create fake online profiles to build romantic relationships with victims, often over weeks or months. Once trust is established, they'll start asking for money for fabricated emergencies, travel, medical bills, or investments. They can also manipulate you into sending your personal information.

How to Stay Safe:

- Take it slow – don’t rush into anything, especially if they profess love quickly.
- Reverse image search their photos to spot fake profiles.
- Be wary if they avoid video calls or meeting in person.
- Never send money, crypto, or gift cards to someone you haven’t met IRL.
- Be wary if they are pressuring you to click on any links that you do not identify.
- Watch for excuses like “I’m stuck abroad” or “My account is frozen.”
- Never share your details, photos, or anything that might cause you harm later.

Protect Your Heart and Wallet.
Stay Safe Online.
