💔 Romance Scams are More Common Than You Think! ⚠️

Our next LinkedIn Live event is on Thursday 3rd of October, which is World Romance Scam Prevention Day!

There has been a massive increase in Romance Fraud, so in recognition of this, Security Everywhere has joined up with the Online Dating & Discovery Organisation to discuss the topic and raise awareness of this most evil cybercrime.

Romance fraud is a growing threat, where scammers use social engineering and emotional manipulation to trick people into giving them money, in some cases their entire life savings. These scams not only cause financial damage but also take a devastating emotional toll on the victims when they find out the person that supposedly cared for them is really a cruel, heartless fraudster.
