🚨 PSA: That Dreamy Stranger Online Might Be a Robot. A Very Convincing Robot. 🚨

We hate to be the ones to say it but... somebody has to. 😬

Romance scams are at an all time high right now, and thanks to some truly wild technology, scammers can now take a single video of ANYONE from the internet and create a fake version of them for a video call. Yes, a VIDEO CALL. The person you think you are looking at might not even be a real human being. πŸ€–πŸ’”

We know. We know. It sounds like a sci-fi movie. It is not.

🎬 Here is how the script usually goes:
πŸ‘‰ You meet someone online who seems absolutely perfect
πŸ‘‰ Things move fast and feelings get big
πŸ‘‰ They always have a reason they cannot meet in person
πŸ‘‰ Then comes the ask. Money, gift cards, wire transfers, crypto...
πŸ‘‰ P**f. Gone. πŸ’¨

These scammers are PROFESSIONALS. Do not feel embarrassed for finding them convincing because they are very, very good at this.

🧑 Please check in with the people you love, especially your kids and teens, your older family members, and anyone with a disability, who may be more likely to be targeted. A simple "hey, who are you talking to online lately?" could be one of the most important conversations you have this week.

πŸ”’ Quick gut check before you get too attached:
βœ… Have you met in person?
βœ… Have they ever asked you for money?
βœ… Does something feel just a little bit off?

Trust that feeling. Talk to someone. Report scams at reportfraud.ftc.gov. πŸ’ͺ

Stay safe out there, Northeast Oregon. The real people in your life love you and we promise we are not deepfakes. πŸ™πŸ˜„

πŸ’œπŸŒΈ Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Elder abuse can take many forms, from financial exploitation and neglect to emotional harm, and it often goes unrecognized.
