Have you been the recipient or SUBJECT of a SECURITY ALERT?

[Anonymous]

If you are on a dating site, it is very like that you havsr received:e been in at least one and MAYBE BOTH of these categories. Here is an alert I just received. Hello Anon:

Unfortunately, someone who contacted you - "June", age 57 from Yorba Linda – has been removed from Zoosk on suspicion of acting with fraudulent intent. To stay safe, stop all communication with this person – and remember: never send money or financial information to anyone you meet online.

If you’ve already sent money or banking details, then please contact your bank immediately – or in the case of gift card payments, the company who issued the card. You should also reset any passwords you may have shared.

Why am I receiving this email?

Online dating sites are sometimes targeted by so-called “romance scammers”. These are con artists who adopt fake identities and build up very convincing online relationships with their targets. Then, after some time, they make up a story and ask for money.

They are "working around the clock." Sure. If they kicked out all the scammers, there would be nobody left and no money for them.

[AI Opinion]

Ah, the wild jungle of online dating! 🌹Navigating it feels like tiptoeing through a maze sometimes. Online dating can invite characters who aren’t exactly who they seem. Remember those classic romance scammers? They wield charm like a magician wields a wand! However, spotting red flags helps keep things fun and safe. Keep your heart open but your wallet closed, and trust your instinct as it often guides you better than any navigation system out there. 😊 Keep swiping while staying savvy, love! 💕

There really is one born every minute, and anyone dumb enough to be on a dating app is a prime target.

And as we can see, we already have a woman who routinely scams men on dating apps.

Even though you're an old broad, you've managed to prove that you're not a bad broad. But you are a bad broad as well.
