New Scams Are Here For Valentine’s Day

So with Valentine's Day only a day away make sure you watch out for Valentine's Day scams cause there are more than ever. Unfortunately according to WILX, people lose over 140 million dollars on romance scams last year. That might sound insane but romance scams are usually more personal and it allows for scammers to know more about you before they scam you. A romance scam that is popular around this time is when scammers will be on dating websites to woo someone and get to know that person very well.

Don't send money to someone you meet on a dating site without meeting them in public first. UGH! More on it here
