Better Business Bureau Warns To Avoid Romance Scams - February 14, 2022 - Micah Quinn

The Better Business Bureau of southern Alberta is warning about finding love in all the wrong places this Valentine’s Day. Romance fraud increases on days like today. A lot of these fraudsters start with fake profiles on dating sites. Photos are usually stolen from real accounts. The scammer will build a relationship with the victim and then begin to ask for money. Wes Lafortune, from the BBB, says there are tips you can use to protect yourself if you think you are being taken advantage of.

Lafortune says you can use a google reverse-image search to check if photos match up with what the person is using.
