Romance scams have become increasingly prevalent, often targeting individuals through social media platforms, dating applications, or online messaging services. Perpetrators typically build emotional trust over time before inducing victims to transfer funds under false pretenses, including fabricated emergencies, investment opportunities, or business ventures.
These schemes frequently involve multiple payment methods, such as wire transfers, online payment services, cryptocurrency, or prepaid cards, and may cross multiple jurisdictions. Due to the emotional manipulation involved and the rapid movement of funds, romance scam cases can be particularly complex from both legal and evidentiary perspectives.
Important Notice
Submission of an inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship. Any legal action will be subject to further review and formal engagement.
In recent years, romance scams have become increasingly prevalent worldwide. Perpetrators often initiate contact through social media platforms, dating applications, or instant messaging services, gradually building emotional trust with victims. Once trust is established, victims are induced to transfer funds under false pretenses, such as fabricated emergencies, investment opportunities, business ventures, or plans for a shared future.
These schemes frequently involve emotional manipulation, evidentiary challenges due to prolonged communications, rapid movement of funds, and cross-border transactions. Payments may be made through bank transfers, third-party payment platforms, or cryptocurrency, making the recovery of funds legally and practically complex.
