Police want you to be careful for romance scams

The Bancroft OPP wants you to be on the lookout for one of the most emotionally devastating forms of fraud.

As part of Fraud Prevention Month, police are reminding you to be careful for romance scams. Constable Philippe Regamey says single people are sometimes targeted online through dating websites, social media, or emails, from scammers who just want to take their money.

Because of the nature of these scams, they often go unreported. That’s why Regamey says it’s important to ask yourself if someone you’ve only exchanged a few messages with would really declare their love for you.

Regamey says if you know someone who has been the victim of a romance scam, you should call your local OPP detachment at 1-888-310-1122.
