Increasingly, romance fraud involves or leads to cryptocurrency investment schemes, which can [substantially] increase victims&#8217; financial losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those behind these schemes are increasingly using sophisticated tactics, including artificial intelligence to manipulate victims with fake voices and images. Bad faith actors establish trust and emotional intimacy through fake profiles on social media, dating platforms and other online channels. Once trust is gained, victims are pressured into sending money or investing in fraudulent business ventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How the schemes work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Romance schemes often begin through fake profiles or unsolicited messages on dating apps, social media or email. Once trust is established, those behind the schemes often make the following requests for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Money<\/strong>&nbsp;for travel, medical emergencies or family assistance, often claiming urgency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Help receiving money<\/strong>, potentially leading the victim to unknowingly participate in criminal money laundering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Participation<\/strong>&nbsp;in a business venture, such as registering a business or opening a bank account<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cryptocurrency investments<\/strong>, where bad faith actors persuade victims to transfer funds through cryptocurrency ATMs or online platforms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Red flags to watch for<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Romance schemes often can be identified when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Someone you&#8217;ve never met in person declares their love early in the relationship<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bad actor quickly wants to move the conversation to a private or alternate communication platform such as a messaging app or email<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They consistently provide excuses to avoid meeting in person, often claiming to work overseas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The message is poorly written or oddly worded, or sometimes addresses you with the wrong name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bad actor acts distressed or angry to pressure you into sending money, often under the pretense of an emergency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They discourage you from discussing the relationship with friends or family, attempting to isolate you from those who might raise concerns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reporting fraud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you suspect fraud, contact:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your local police<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OPP at 1-888-310-1122<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ontariocrimestoppers.ca%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cdavid.hobson%40opp.ca%7C9af4a083eb474b83642b08dd49dec89d%7C73ce4d7298a24f13b5b06c3d3ff1fcd9%7C0%7C0%7C638747943384851347%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=4i6MFtKJ5BfhZP%2FTLSAjn6rWl2iiznejG7bVfy7NCMM%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ontariocrimestoppers.ca<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre via the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fantifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca%2Freport-signalez-eng.htm&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cdavid.hobson%40opp.ca%7C9af4a083eb474b83642b08dd49dec89d%7C73ce4d7298a24f13b5b06c3d3ff1fcd9%7C0%7C0%7C638747943384886346%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=7EngPq%2BONsRn%2BVUjE6mZN6AXXwSayhfDd0hiaiXtj8I%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online reporting system<\/a>&nbsp;or by phone at 1-888-495-8501<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more CAFC resources, visit:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fantifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca%2Fscams-fraudes%2Fvictim-victime-eng.htm&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cdavid.hobson%40opp.ca%7C9af4a083eb474b83642b08dd49dec89d%7C73ce4d7298a24f13b5b06c3d3ff1fcd9%7C0%7C0%7C638747943384914615%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=4W2UnQSEYw0aivJ1C%2FZOZc7jzxMebaoApgh1H1dmrAM%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What to do if you&#8217;re a victim of fraud<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px;
