These scams don’t happen overnight — they build over time.

Scammers:
• Create fake profiles
• Build trust over weeks or months
• Eventually ask for money (emergency, travel, medical, etc.)

💡What they want:
➡️Money — often repeatedly

🚩Red flags:
• They avoid meeting in person
• They always have a reason they can’t visit
• They ask for money or gift cards

✅What to do:
• Be cautious with online relationships
• Never send money to someone you haven’t met
• Talk to a trusted friend or family member

​These scams are emotional — not just financial.
