    How to spot romance scams

    Recognize pressure, money requests, and stories designed to move too fast.

    The pattern is speed plus pressure

    Scammers often create intense closeness quickly, move the conversation away from the app, and introduce a crisis that requires money or financial information.

    • They avoid meeting or live verification.
    • Their details change or feel copied.
    • They ask for money, gift cards, crypto, bank access, or verification codes.

    Never send money to a match

    Do not send funds or share banking credentials, passwords, identity documents, or one-time codes. A person you have not met should never need you to process money or receive packages for them.

    Stop, save, report

    End contact, preserve relevant messages, report the account in CuteNite, and contact your financial institution immediately if you sent money.
