1. Romance Scams: The Most Emotional Online Trap
In the age of online dating and international relationships, romance scams have quietly become a global issue. Scammers usually pretend to be professionals—such as engineers, military officers, or doctors—using dating apps or social media to gain trust and affection. Eventually, they ask for money using excuses like medical emergencies, investment opportunities, or urgent travel needs.
Victims often feel embarrassed or emotionally devastated, making them hesitant to report the incident. DJK LLP reminds you: Romance scams are not only emotional betrayals—they are legal matters.
2. Common Signs of a Romance Scam
Based on DJK LLP’s legal experience, typical signs include:
-
Fast emotional bonding: Immediate declarations of love and promises of marriage;
-
Too-good-to-be-true professions: Military officers, offshore workers, or doctors who can’t video call or meet;
-
Emotional manipulation: Creating sympathy through illness or sudden crises;
-
Financial requests: Asking for “customs clearance,” “emergency funds,” or “release fees”;
-
Secrecy: Avoiding video/voice chats and refusing to reveal social media profiles.
If you recognize these signs, cease communication and consult legal professionals immediately.
3. What Should You Do After Being Scammed?
1）Stay Calm, Avoid Further Harm
Scammers may reappear with a new identity or offer fake recovery services. Do not trust such claims.
2）Save All Communication Records
Keep screenshots, chat logs, bank transfer details, and voice/video clips. These are crucial for legal action.
3）File a Police Report
Even if financial recovery seems unlikely, police reports can support future legal claims.
4）Seek Legal Help
Especially for international wire transfers or false identities, lawyers can assist with fund recovery and litigation.
