Romance Fraud Recovery Service

Romance scams not only break hearts and destroy bank balances, they can escalate into devastating situations that ruin lives. Some have been cheated out of their life savings, leaving them vulnerable in old age or finding themselves drawn into a life of organised crime, drug trafficking or, sadly, even worse.

The Reality of Romance Scams

In 2022, Americans lost $201 million to online romance scams, an increase of nearly 40% from the previous year. In total, more than 25,000 reports were filed with the FTC. Unfortunately, these numbers are just the tip of the iceberg. Many victims of online fraud do not report the crime to the authorities. Some victims find it too embarrassing, while others consider it an unpleasant life experience. Many victims believe there is no complaints process or ability to prosecute perpetrators because they operate overseas, such as in Nigeria, Ghana or Russia.

Types of romance scams

Romance scams are one of many types of online scams used to trick people into handing over money or personal information that can then lead to identity theft. Romance scams are perpetrated by large organized crime networks and lone opportunists.
Personal Emergency Scams

Once trust is built and a loving relationship is in place, personal emergencies arise. The scam claims that they need financial support from their online partners due to some disaster. How much money is needed depends on the person being scammed and what they are likely to agree to. Common excuses include a family member needing medical attention, damage to the home or property requiring emergency repairs, and many other situations. The goal is to get victims to send money to their digital partners.

Mail Order Bride

Ordering beautiful brides online usually requires an advance payment, and brides usually come from Russia, Ukraine and other parts of Eastern Europe. However, mail order brides and scams can offer services to women anywhere. The problem is that no women are interested in a relationship. Victims may be diverted to mail-order bride sites, or the scam may take the form of a traditional online dating scam, where fake profiles are created on standard dating sites or social networks.

How to spot a romance scam

Anyone can be the target of a romance scam. The offenders often appear to be very experienced in psychological manipulation and using internet technology to disguise their true identity. Romance scammers use whatever means necessary to exploit the human desire for affection, friendship, and connection. In the early stages of a romance scam, it can be difficult to tell if the relationship is real or a scam.
  • Victims are often contacted through social media or online dating sites.
  • The scammer will quickly admit to having deep feelings for the victim.
  • There is always a reason why you can't video call the scammer.
  • Requests for money related to emergencies, such as medical expenses, funeral expenses, and property repairs.
  • Requests for money can persist for different reasons and can come up for recurring reasons.
  • If the victim is unable or unwilling to make the required money transfer, the scammer will blame the victim.
