Heart to heart, don’t get me wrong, in search of the soul mate, you may well get blown up… and not just in your wallet. There are unfortunately swindlers of love.

These people will use your heart and it can break. You have fallen in love with a mirage…

What are their opereting procedures?

• He or she will invite you to communicate outside the social network where you contacted each other.
•  
• He or she sends you very enticing photos of her person (sometimes they even come from magazines!)
•  
• He or she will make declarations of love
•  
• He or she will try to isolate you from your loved ones, to ignore what you might be told (this is a manipulative process)
•  
• He or she does not live near you, he or she may be in another country
•  
• He or she would like to meet you, provoke meetings but cancel them at the last moment.
•  
• He or she will ask you for money, to help him or her in a temporary difficulty.

What should you do?

• The first and most important is to NEVER give money, to pay even a paltry amount, to not disclose anything as bank information or credit card number. Always learn about the best ways to pay online securely.  A link that can help you in case of a payment problem with your credit card:
• If you inadvertently paid the heart scam: contact your bank. She will try to contact the bank that received the money to block the transfer, if there is still time.It is important to report the scam, to prevent that person from continuing to harm other victims: this link to help you with this situation. 
• Don’t send them daring videos or daring photos of you, they may threaten to make them public or erase them for payment.
• Do not communicate your email address to the scammer. It could hack your computer. He certainly has a fake email address and gives you bad information.

Only the judicial authorities can help you in these cases. You can file a fraud complaint.
