Default Romance scams
https://reporting.globaliris.com/dashboard

Interesting show on this earlier

Romance scams
Dating or romance fraud is when you think you’ve met your perfect partner online, but they aren’t who they say they are. Once they’ve gained your trust, they ask for money for a variety of emotive reasons.
You register with an internet-based dating agency or join an online dating chat room. You receive a contact from someone who shows an interest in you. They may be from overseas, or they might tell you they are in the same country as you. Gradually, you develop a long-distance relationship through emails, instant messaging, texting and phone calls. As the relationship develops, your exchanges become more intimate.

A Catfish is when they make fake social media accounts with fake pictures and info...and then when you meet you find out that size two double D blonde is really a fat balding 55 year old recluse
