Romance Scams are when…
Government Scams are when an imposter creates a fake dating profile or email and contacts the victim asking to date or have romantic interactions but are not who they said they are.
How You Can Adapt From Romance Scams:
- Talk and get help from someone else about your situation, you should never go through this alone.
- Contact the government agency about the message to verify or report.
- Do not pay or share information without verifying.
- If they have your information, you might risk having your identity stolen.
- File a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission: ReportFraud.ftc.gov
- Retain proof and documentation of the scam in case you need it in the future.
