Romance Fraud


Hi Latchford West

 

Romance scams involve people being duped into sending money to criminals who go to great lengths to gain their trust and convince them that they are in a genuine relationship. 

They use language to manipulate, persuade and exploit so that requests for money do not raise alarm bells. 

These requests might be highly emotive, such as criminals claiming they need money for emergency medical care, or to pay for transport costs to visit the victim if they are overseas. 

Scammers will often build a relationship with their victims over time.
