“Scammers are using social media, dating apps, legit dating apps and websites to reach victims,” said Jason Meza, regional director for the Better Business Bureau. Last year, the FBI said it received reports of more than 23,700 victims of romance scams. “(Scammers) say all the right things and make all the right moves,” Meza said. “A big red flag in these types of scams is people looking to build relationships quickly, moving fast and professing deep love very quickly,” Meza said. These scams can be reported to the FBI, Federal Trade Commission, and the BBB, possibly protecting someone else from a bad romance.
