Nowadays, it's common for people around the world to connect through social media platforms for various reasons. Looking for a serious lifetime partner online is something you can find almost everywhere—and that's absolutely fine. Single men and women can use many dating services, whether free or paid.
Another thing young people often do every day while online with their cellphones is install dating apps and engage in conversations with people they've just met. However, this becomes risky when scammers get involved. If you're not careful, you could become their next victim.
There are many social media platforms people use for different purposes—such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, WhatsApp, TikTok, blogs, websites, and many other online communities that are easily accessible.
But the real issue isn’t just the platforms. The problem lies in how you protect yourself. So how do you avoid becoming a victim of online scammers?
I have researched various sources and engaged with many scammers across different platforms mentioned above. Here are a few common scams they use to lure victims:
• Fake Profiles: If you're approached by a beautiful, young, blonde, and sexy woman on a dating app, be cautious. Many of these profiles use fake photos and identities. Do not pay for intimate chat rooms, videos, or pictures. These scammers are only trying to make you spend more money by exploiting your emotions.
• Telegram Groups: Are you using Telegram chat? Be careful with groups like “Leo-Match” or “Meet New Friends.” Many of these are full of scammers from around the world. If you're chatting with someone claiming to be a female, she might not be real. Never send sexual content or intimate photos of yourself—it’s very risky. These images can be used to blackmail you.
• Fake Investment Opportunities: Scammers often offer quick-profit businesses like cryptocurrency schemes. They’ll ask you to invest money with promises of big returns. These offers are usually fake, and you could lose your money instantly.
Unfortunately, these are just a few of the many tactics scammers use. One of the most dangerous risks is human trafficking, which has already caused untold suffering worldwide. Victims of trafficking often face tragic and cruel outcomes. It’s something we must all take seriously.
Stay alert. Stay safe. Don’t fall for the traps
Let’s raise awareness together.
