Online dating has made worldwide connections possible, but this comes with even higher risks than dating someone local. The anonymity of the Internet means the U.S. citizen doesn’t truly know the real name, age, marital status or gender of the person on the other side of the computer screen. Russian private investigators say this is especially true when it comes to romance with people from Russia.
If you are on a on a dating site keep an eye out for suspicious people. Learn to identify scams and fake profiles and avoid them. Educate yourself with these Russian romance scams:
While you may want to believe everything on the Internet, don’t. Even Facebook has an estimated 83 million fake profiles. Keep that in mind before you go send money to Russia. Know the warning signs!
Consider these clues that you may be in contact with a scam artist.
Online scams continue to grow and the majority of scamming cases go unsolved. Americans – often times seniors who try online dating sites — report the loss of thousands of dollars and the money is nearly never recovered as the artists work from cafes or other WiFi spots and are mobile. Today’s scammers are bolder than ever and are so experienced that it is difficult for the police and FBI to keep up. Use caution when in Internet relationships and be weary of immediate proclaims of love.
To minimize your risk, get a complete Russian background check to discreetly verify the individual you’re communicating with. Investigators can deliver evidence you need to make an informed decision, and prevent you from being a victim of romance fraud. Be safe, and be informed.
