Romance scams are a type of online fraud in which victims are targeted by individuals posing as potential paramours. The fraudsters create fake online dating profiles, often with photographs of attractive men or women, and use these fake personas to express strong romantic interest in the victims to entice them into sending money under false pretenses. Romance scams frequently target vulnerable individuals who possess significant financial assets, such as retired widows or widowers.
