Fake Love Crypto is a term used to describe a type of online fraud that involves romance scammers who lure their victims into investing in cryptocurrency, only to disappear with their money. This scam has been growing rapidly in the United States, where it has resulted in losses worth billions of dollars. Here is how it works and why it is so hard to stop.
Fake Love Crypto works similarly to other romance scams, where fraudsters create fake profiles on dating apps or social media platforms, and pretend to be interested in a relationship with their targets. They use attractive photos, flattering messages, and deepfake videos to charm and manipulate their victims, and to gain their trust and affection. They also claim to have a successful career, often in finance, trading, or technology, and to live in the same country or nearby.
After establishing a rapport, the scammers move the conversation to a private channel, such as WhatsApp or Telegram, where they introduce the topic of cryptocurrency. They claim to have made a lot of money by investing in crypto, and to have access to a special trading app or platform that can generate high returns. They then persuade their victims to download the app or platform, which is actually fake and controlled by the scammers. They also instruct their victims to buy crypto from a legitimate exchange, such as Coinbase, and to transfer it to the fake app or platform.
The scammers then show their victims fake screenshots or statements that show their crypto balance increasing, and encourage them to invest more. They also promise to meet their victims in person soon, and to share their wealth and happiness with them. However, when the victims try to withdraw their money or meet their partners, they encounter various problems and excuses. The scammers then ask for more money to solve the issues, such as fees, taxes, or fines. Eventually, the scammers cut off all contact and disappear with the money, leaving the victims heartbroken and bankrupt.
