Recognise the False Relationship. Preserve the Evidence. Protect Yourself From Further Loss.
Romance scams often begin through social media, dating platforms or messaging applications. Scammers may use false identities, stolen photographs and fabricated personal stories to build an emotional connection and gain the victim's trust. Once trust has been established, they may introduce investment opportunities, request financial assistance, claim to need emergency funds or provide other reasons for asking the victim to transfer money.
- Identify potential false identities and common romance scam patterns.
- Organise chat records, social media profiles, photographs and transaction evidence.
- Review the circumstances of the case and help identify appropriate next steps.
Be cautious when someone you have met online repeatedly asks for money for investments, loans, emergencies or other reasons. Warning signs may include avoiding video calls, providing unverifiable personal information, promising unusually high investment returns or repeatedly creating new reasons for financial requests. If you believe you have been affected by a romance scam, preserve your conversations, social media profile information, photographs, voice messages, payment confirmations and recipient account details.
Some romance scam cases develop over weeks or months and may involve multiple social media platforms, different identities, recipient accounts or payment methods. Keeping a complete record of the relationship and financial transactions can be important when reporting the matter, seeking legal advice or communicating with banks, payment providers and relevant platforms. Based on the information you provide, we can conduct an initial review, help organise the available evidence and provide a clearer understanding of the case and potential avenues for further action.
