MY INTERVIEW

Romance scams occur when criminal actors deceive victims into believing they are engaging in a trusting relationship. They use that relationship to persuade victims to send money, provide personal and financial information, or purchase items for them. In 2022, nearly 70,000 people reported a romance scam to the FTC, and reported losses hit a staggering $1.3 billion. These schemes affect victims from all demographics.    The FBI offers these warning signs of the actors and their schemes:  Immediate attempts to communicate by email or messaging services outside of a dating site Claims to be from the U.S. but is currently living or traveling abroad Claims that being introduced was “destiny” or “fate” Reports a sudden personal crisis and pressures you to provide financial help Disappears suddenly from a site, but reappears under a different name Asks for money, goods, or other types of financial assistance without having met in person    The best defense against romance scams is education and awareness. Below are some tips to help avoid becoming a victim:  Be careful what you post and make public online. Scammers can use details shared on social media and dating sites to better understand and target you. Research the person’s photo and profile using online searches to see if the image, name, or details have been used elsewhere. Go slowly and ask lots of questions. Beware if the individual seems too perfect or quickly asks you to leave a dating service or social media site to communicate directly. Beware if the individual attempts to isolate you from friends and family or requests inappropriate photos or financial information that could later be used to extort you. Beware if the individual promises to meet in person but then always comes up with an excuse why he or she can’t. If you haven’t met the person after a few months, for whatever reason, you have good reason to be suspicious. Never send money to anyone you have only communicated with online or by phone.    If you believe you are a victim of a romance scam, the FBI recommends reporting the activity to the IC3 at  https://www.ic3.gov . You should also contact your financial institution if you discover fraudulent or suspicious transactions. Finally, you should report the activity to the website or application where the contact first began.

This story starts in March 2022. (I knew it has to be a scam page). I had followed this facebook page in 2021. Sent a few message but no response. Then in March 2022 she wrote back. Message were ok nothing exciting. Until January 2023, At the beginning of January I sent her a Happy New Year and this is where the scam begins... AND THE SCAM BEGINS... STAY TUNED FOR MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you like like me, you probably get some crazy text scams. I am sharing a couple that I got. The one below is one I have gotten before. Now I know the priest he is the pastor at my church, but he would never text and that is not the church's phone number. I did report it to the parish office. Now this one I have heard a lot of people getting. The country code of 63 is not the USA. And I don't recall driving through any toll roads. Total scam. Don't fall for it!!!
