Easy Fraud Solutions

Online dating scams are very common and last year cost Australians more than $15 million.

If you are looking for that special someone online be cautious.

Scammers post fake profiles on legitimate online dating websites and will give various excuses to ask you to send them money via international wire transfer.

Ways to protect yourself include:
- Be wary of anyone who you have not personally met who asks you to send them money, gifts or your banking and credit card details.
- Be very careful about how much personal information you share on social network and dating sites.
