Online Dating Scam

This is a deceptive activity where an individual creates a false profile on a dating platform with the intention of tricking others into emotional or romantic relationships to defraud them financially. The scammer often uses attractive photos, usually stolen from another social media platform, to lure potential victims. They may engage in extensive conversations to gain trust before spinning a tale of hardship or an emergency requiring financial assistance. The aim is generally to manipulate the victim into sending money or disclosing personal information for identity theft.
