Romance scams and cryptocurrencies: the modern face of
deception.
From dating apps to fake crypto platforms: the new frontier of
romance scams. Learn how to spot them and protect yourself
legally.
In recent years, romance scams have evolved, adapting to new
times and technologies.
While in the past victims were often lured into investing in
Forex (the so-called Tinder Forex scam), today the mechanism has
shifted to the world of cryptocurrencies.
Yet the script remains the same: it starts with a meeting on a
dating app, develops into a seemingly genuine emotional bond, and
ends with blind trust in someone never met in person.
Behind these alleged "ideal partners" are often
sophisticated criminal organisations, experts in psychological
manipulation and in creating fake but convincing investment
websites.
