Romance scammers profess love quickly, without actually meeting you. They may even say that theyre in love with you, but its a tactic theyre using to get you to give up personal details and answers to the security questions that you use to lock down your accounts across the Internet.

What can I do with a romance scammer?

If you suspect an online relationship is a scam, stop all contact immediately. If you are the victim of a romance scam, file a complaint with the FBIs Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
