There are lots of different types of romance scams circulating, but, in general, they are all cons that involve the scammer pretending to have romantic feelings towards their victim. The aim is to lure in the intended mark to eventually persuade them to give or send money or gifts to the scammer. Now, these cons often begin on platforms such as Tinder and other dating sites.
Romance scams can have devastating consequences for those that have fallen victim to them. As well as losing money and/or possessions of value, the victim is usually left broken-hearted, feeling extremely vulnerable, and may have trouble forming a trusting relationship for a significant time. This type of scam is particularly cruel and can have long-term effects on the people who have found themselves entangled in one.

Those who have fallen victim to a romance scam are usually left heartbroken and feeling vulnerable, as well as having to deal with the loss of an often significant amount of money. These feelings can make seeking help and restitution even harder - victims may even feel embarrassed or ashamed, making figuring out what to do next even harder.

Be mindful about what you post online that can be seen by members of the public: romance scammers can use social media to better target a mark and find out more about them that they’ll then use to their advantage.

Be wary of anyone on a dating site that quickly asks you to communicate directly rather than via the dating platform.

Go slowly, and don’t feel pressured to meet or impart information until you feel ready.

Research the person’s image and name to check if they’ve been used online elsewhere.

Never send money or gifts to anyone you’ve only interacted with online.

Never send any content or photos that could be used to extort you in the future.

View it as a red flag if the person says they want to meet you but always makes excuses or backs out at the last minute.
