Romance Scams
Many people have been caught in online romance scams where the scammers have successfully convinced the victim that they are "the one" and by entrusting the scammer, have lent them large sums of money to help them in their financial needs but do not hear from them once this transaction occurs. Victims have also been duped into giving out
credit card details and then received bills for purchases they never made. Without physically meeting someone, it's hard to determine if
 they are genuine. Scammers are very experienced in what they do. There are some factors that can help you prevent getting trapped in one of these scams, for example, poor spelling and grammatical errors (this is not always the case). There are also advertisements on the dating website that can interest you and once clicked upon, they take you to an unsecured website where you may be open to a
cyber-attack.
