Cupid Doesn’t Take Crypto, But Scammers Do
Comment via Text Message
Love stories rarely start with prepaid gift cards. As more relationships begin online, romance scams are rising fast, turning loneliness and hope into a con that empties bank accounts. We pull back the curtain on how scammers build quick emotional ties, test boundaries with small requests, and escalate to bigger asks through carefully scripted messages and believable cover stories.
Don't forget to tap follow, hit like, and leave a quick review so others can find it. Tell us what topic you want next—we’re listening.
