Scammers often try to create closeness faster than real life allows. They may be intensely flattering, claim to be unavailable to meet, and eventually introduce an emergency, opportunity, or reason you need to send money.

Slow the story down

Do not send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, account codes, identity documents, or intimate images to an online love interest. Be cautious about anyone who insists on taking the conversation off-platform right away or asks you to keep the relationship secret.

Trust patterns, not excuses

One missed call is normal. A repeated pattern of avoiding verification, public meetings, and basic consistency is not something you need to explain away.

Save evidence, block, and report suspicious accounts. If money was sent, contact the payment provider quickly and report the scam through appropriate consumer-protection channels.
