Romance Scam Recovery

A romance scam is a deceptive act where a scammer fakes romantic interest in a victim, builds a relationship to earn their affection, and then exploits that trust to extract money under false pretenses or coerce the victim into committing financial fraud.

This type of scam typically involves unauthorized access to the victim’s financial assets, such as bank accounts and credit cards, or personal information like passports and email accounts. Organized crime rings often carry out these scams, targeting multiple individuals simultaneously, leading to more significant financial losses compared to other internet scams like technical support fraud.
