What is romance fraud?
Romance fraud occurs when you think you’ve met the perfect partner online, but they are using a fake profile to form a relationship with you.
They gain your trust over a number of weeks or months and have you believe you are in a loving and caring relationship. However, the criminal’s end goal is only ever to get your money or personal information.
Criminals are experts at impersonating people. They spend hours researching you for their scams, especially when committing romance fraud.
