Romance scams

Trust is built slowly, then the conversation shifts toward urgency, money, investments, or moving away from safer channels.

High-return claims, time pressure, blocked withdrawals, and repeated requests for more deposits are common warning signs.

Messages copy trusted organizations and push you to click links, share codes, or enter account details on a false page.

Someone may pretend to be a bank, agency, delivery company, support desk, employer, or loved one to create pressure.

Watch for false platforms, wallet-draining links, seed phrase requests, and urgent transfer instructions.
