After a romance scam has occurred

If you suspect you've been targeted by a romance scam, taking immediate action is crucial. Here’s a step-by-step guide to protect yourself, recover lost assets, and safeguard your future.

• Block the scammer on all platforms (social media, phone, email, messaging apps).
• Do NOT respond to their messages, even if they threaten or try to manipulate you.
• Change passwords for all online accounts, especially email and banking.
• Secure your accounts by enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
• Alert friends and family to avoid further manipulation by the scammer.

• Save all messages, emails, photos, and videos exchanged with the scammer.
• Take screenshots of their profile, phone number, and email address.
• Document any financial transactions (bank transfers, gift cards, cryptocurrency).
• Keep records of any threats, blackmail attempts, or coercion tactics used against you.

• Contact your bank immediately and explain that you were a victim of fraud.
• Request a chargeback if payments were made via credit or debit card.
• Report gift card fraud to the issuing company (Amazon, Google Play, Apple, etc.).
• If you sent cryptocurrency, contact a blockchain forensics service to trace the funds.
• Freeze your credit with the major credit bureaus if your identity was compromised.

• FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3): ic3.gov
• Federal Trade Commission (FTC): ReportFraud.ftc.gov
• Your bank and credit card provider for financial fraud claims.
• Your local police department (though they may have limited jurisdiction over international scams).
• Interpol (for international scams): interpol.int

Being a victim of a romance scam is traumatic. Many victims feel guilt, shame, and emotional distress. Here’s how to begin healing:

• Talk to a professional: Therapy can help you cope with the emotional impact. Consider online counseling services like BetterHelp (betterhelp.com).
• Join support groups: Connect with other victims for guidance and encouragement.
• Educate yourself: Understanding scam tactics can help you regain confidence and prevent future fraud.
• Don’t blame yourself: Scammers use highly sophisticated manipulation tactics that deceive even the most cautious individuals.

• Change passwords on all accounts and enable 2FA.
• Monitor your bank and credit card statements for unauthorized transactions.
• Freeze your credit to prevent identity theft.
