Image of cupid and heartNot everyone using online dating sites is looking for love. Scammers create fake online profiles using photos of other people — even stolen pictures of real military personnel. They profess their love quickly. And they tug at your heartstrings with made-up stories about how they need money — for emergencies, hospital bills, or travel. Why all of the tricks? They’re looking to steal your money.

As if all that isn’t bad enough, romance scammers are now involving their victims in online bank fraud. Here’s how it works: The scammers set up dating profiles to meet potential victims. After they form a “relationship,” they come up with reasons to ask their love interest to set up a new bank account. The scammers transfer stolen money into the new account, and then tell their victims to wire the money out of the country. Victims think they’re just helping out their soulmate, never realizing they’re aiding and abetting a crime.  

Here are some warning signs that an online love interest might be a fake. They ask you to:

  • chat off of the dating site immediately, using personal email, text, or phone
  • wire money using Western Union or Money Gram
  • set up a new bank account

Did you know you can do an image search of your love interest’s photo in your favorite search engine? If you do an image search and the person’s photo appears under several different names, you’re probably dealing with a scammer. And if the person’s online profile disappears a few days after they meet you, that’s another tip-off.

Here’s the real deal: Don’t send money to someone you met online — for any reason. If your online sweetheart asks for money, you can expect it’s a scam.

Unfortunately, online dating scams are all too common. There may be tens of thousands of victims, and only a small fraction report it to the FTC. If this happens to you, please report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

This sounds like a scam.

If you meet someone on line, you don't really know who they are. They can say anything, and pretend to be anyone. Often, scammers say they are in the military, or working far from the US. They say they can't talk or email or write too often because of work. They promise to come see you soon, but then they start asking for money.

Please read some comments from other people on this blog. Other people have experiences like yours. If you send money, you will probably never see it again, and you probably won't ever see the person.

While ago I met a guy from a dating site called okcupid. and his name is Donald Hughes and he told me that he's in the military and he asked me to send him money for his leave and I didn't send him money for his leave. And he uses yahoo email but not the military email. Then I blocked him on Facebook . Then couple of days ago I got a message from him on okcupid he said he is blaming me for making him serve another tour in the military.

Any way, tells me just what every women wants to here. Gorgeous man. Lives in Lille, France. He said her wife was killed in an accident three years ago. He just ask to move in with me. I would bet, the next was for money to buy a ticket.Asked all about me. But was not so sharing when it came to him. Does anyone know about scanning photos to check?

This sounds like a scam.

When you meet someone online, you do not know who they really are. They can tell you any story. They can make fake documents, fake bank papers, fake identification cards. They will work hard to convince you they are legitimate. They want your money.

A criminal will promise to help you. But really, he just wants your money and your documents. You will lose money, and you could have more problems if a criminal uses your identification to commit identity theft. Your identification papers are valuable to a criminal.

If you want help with visa and travel permits, please go to the government office that manages these functions.

In reply to by Natalie

Yes, that could be a scam. If you meet someone online, you really don't know who they are. Scammers tell you stories to make you feel sorry for them. They pretend to be soldiers, or widows, or say they have young children. They hope you will be kind. Then they ask you for money, or ask you to do a favor.

If you accept money or a package from someone you don't know, you are taking a big risk. You don't know what is in that package. You could get involved in a scam, or even get in legal trouble. It's best to stay away from that situation.

my grandmother about a month and a half two months ago somehow started talking to someone online who claims he is in the army stationed in west Africa (Nigeria). he claims he is a widow and the same stories I have read from a lot of you. as far as I know he hasn't asked for money but has told her that he will be coming to the united states soon to be with her. she constantly tells us that he has written her poetry and tells her that she is beautiful although she has no picture on her social media account and no way to see a picture of her. he goes by the name John Caldwell which I have found that he is an imposter of William B Caldwell iv that is according to the picture he uses

Beware of Nigeria Scammers. I had someone trying to get me to ship a MacBook laptop to their son who lived in Nigeria. The man who went by the name of Donald Brown,said he was a US Marine and wanted to send a gift to his son "Nelson Brown" as a Christmas present. He sent me a fake moneygram email stating that i need it to send the item in order to receive the money, which is understandable, but then asked him to sen me he's USA address, but he never did. He wanted me to put $150 out of my packet to pay for shipping fees hoping he will give me a confirmation number to receive the cash he send via money-gram. Then when I asked him more questions he stop replaying to my text. BEWARE OF NIGERIAN SCAMMERS.

I am a Canadian Citizen. This guy James William got connected with me on facebook in Oct 2016 and send me a small HI message on 6th Dec 2016 when I was bed ridden and depressed. I responded casually which led to light talk and then he almost stole my heart.

He asked me my whats up number and then we started talking on whatsup. He told me that he was from Sacramento California and he is basically a white from Africa, born in Canada but his parents were from Africa. He said his wife died 5 years ago from breast cancer and that he has two twin boys 7 years old who live with their aunt ( his wife's sister in France) He carries a very heavy African accent. I asked him that how come his number starts with 647 code because that is Ontario code and he told me that he was in Toronto first and then he moved to the US and he carried the same number there.We chatted..only voice calls as he would never appear on the camera in spite of my many requests...he would say he has an old phone and does not have an option for the camera He told me that he has gotten a contract in Berlin Soccer Stadium for electrical renovations for 5 million dollars and he moved from California to Berlin Germany.

Then suddenly when his machine broke down he wanted me to send him 15000 American. I always doubted him. I used to hear dogs barking in the background when he calling from Sacramento and again the dogs barking in the background when he was supposed to be talking from Berlin. I doubted but still the beautiful relationship that he HAS created would just let my heart rule over my brain and I would intentionally ignore my intelligence. I blocked him two or three times in this process but everytime unblocked and moved on. This happened yesterday too.

He pressurized me to give him 2000 US or he will walk away. I am ok now with his walking away. My mind is stable and I am in a better position to handle myself. I have told everything about him to my family which includes my husband and my kids. ( I hope you are not surprised). They are OK with my confession. I have a bunch of his pictures and Facebook id as well. 

he gave me the adress and name of a person he wants the money to be given. THANKGOD OKERIE. address 1601 UAE DUBAI MEDICAL CENTER ALNAHDA SHARJAH. He is asking money via Money Gram or Western Union.

Am trying to find out if anyone else has had contact with a man calling himself Bryan Steven Cole, aka Bryan Coleman, aka Morgan Tom Lee? I've been talking to this man Bryan Cole for a year now, and desperately need to know if he is for real or not, as I have completely lost my heart to him! He says he's a construction engineer with his own business; was born and raised in Germany and came to America when he was 25 to attend an engineering college in Alaska. his wife died of cancer 8 years ago, and has a daughter named Lisa, whose birthday is January 1, and she has just turned 14 today (January 1, 2017). They live in Seattle, Washington. He built a stadium in Istanbul,Turkey, and the job was completed in April of 2016 and he had to go to Istanbul to collect his $8.000.000 paycheck and got "stuck" there when he was informed that there would be documents needed to clear the check by the Dept. of Equalization and Urbanization, which required him to pay for the documentation to clear the check, and that it would take 21 days; and that because he had only planned to be there for 3-5 days, he didn't take much money with him. He says that he ended up spending the money he had to pay for his lodging on the documents, and needed a loan to pay his hotel bill so that the hotel manager would give his passport back to him. Then his plane ticket "expired" and he had to get a new one; then he got sick and had to go to hospital, which incurred another bill that the hotel manager paid for him, but he had to reimburse the H.M. for that, and his passport was again seized and is being held until that was done. He is still stuck there... He is professing his love for me in the sweetest ways; and has had all the answers, and is planning to come straight to me when he gets home and wants to marry me soon as he gets home. We have talked on the phone a few times, but mostly text via gmail. He has sent me many pictures of himself, and one of he and his daughter; even a picture of him holding a posterboard sign with my name on it telling me that he wants to prove to me that he's real. HELP! I have to know if he is who he says he is; everything sounds SO real, but after reading yall's stories, the simularities are making me wonder! Does this sound familiar to anyone? Again, does the name Bryan Steven Cole sound familiar to anyone? Or Bryan S. Coleman or Morgan Tom Lee?

2good2btrue ... ask yourself...would a guy who is an engineer be so ill prepared when traveling oversees? He doesn't even have a credit card for his hotel and he's an international businessman? Almost all scammers have the types of calamities you've listed...as well as similar life circumstances (as I've come to learn through my own experience). Ex: They are widowed, may or may not have children, are engineers working on an oversees project, have a series of calamities which require their new "love interest" to send them money. Now what would these guys ... who are almost all middle-aged, do if they hadn't met you? If this guy has a daughter and is traveling oversees, he must have someone looking after the daughter...so he must have some connections in the states as well as funds in the states to take care of his daughter...yet he needs money from his new love interest and needs this new love interest to swoop in and save the day? Normal guys don't handle their life like this. With my scammer, he had almost the same MO (had been talking with him for 6 weeks)...expect his driver had an accident when they went to go check on a piece of equipment ... and the driver lost a leg and he broke his arm and was in hospital for 1 week ... and when he got out, he was supposedly talking to me from his hotel room and he asked me if I knew what itunes cards were, I said yes, he asked if he could help me with one, I said ok...like do you want to know how to input the information into itunes from the card?, he said No can I go and buy some itunes cards for him is there a Walmart or something close by?, I said incredulously "You want me to buy you itunes cards! Why? A man doesn't ask a woman for money! He said "I'm very disappointed in you" ... Holy Hot Dog! "Really??? You're disappointed in me? You're a loser for even asking a woman...a single mom no less! for money." I was dump founded for days just thinking "what the hell was that" ... then I got on some sites like this and feel for all those people who got involved with these loser scammers. I'm lucky my experience was only 6 weeks ... there were a few red flags that in hind sight, I should have followed my intuition and seen the situation for what it was. Sadly I missed out on a great local guy because this scammer guy seemed so great...lesson learned...no more involvement unless I can prove someone is real. One last thing...I did question the guy about coming to see me weeks after first contact...he then pulled the "have to go to Singapore to do engineering project" then the accident...the same stringing along situation. Let go now...for your heart's sake. Wish you well.

Please, please get over this one. These are scammers...all have the same story. If any man tells you he is an engineer working overseas, he is lying! This scam will cost you more than your heart. They are patient, as they are talking to at least 100 women at a time. They take notes, the can repeat what they have said. They are getting really good at this. This man does not exist. If you want to be sure, tell him you must meet with him within the week, or it is over. Tell him that you want to skype with him to see his face! Take the area code of the phone # he gives you and google it along with the word scam, and see what comes up. The internet is a powerful weapon. Find out what company he works/worked for and contact them. Ask them if this man exists. If he won't give you any real information, he is scamming you. Be smart, please. Men know how to tug at your heart strings. I am hearing this everyday from women who are lonely, and have little to no self esteem. They won't marry you, they will not even meet with you. Please be smart and walk away. Block him on your phone and any means you have elsewhere. Go to local singles events and meet real people. The internet is full of scammers!

Yes, he works on a oil rig. Yes, he has a deceased wife but has no children, has no other family. Had a brother but he was in to drugs very bad and hasn't seen him for many years. I have talked to him on the phone, he has a slight Swedish accent. I don't want to believe he is scamming me. His name is Steve Vig. Has anyone had contact with him.
