What Is a Romance Scam in Crypto?
A romance scam (also known as a confidence trick or “sweetheart swindle”) occurs when a scammer creates a fake identity on dating apps (Tinder, Hinge, Bumble), social media (Facebook, Instagram), or messaging platforms (WhatsApp, Telegram). They build a romantic relationship over weeks or months, gain trust, and then introduce a fake cryptocurrency investment opportunity. The victim sends crypto to a fake trading platform or directly to the scammer’s wallet. When the victim tries to withdraw, the scammer disappears.
According to the FTC, romance scams caused over $1.3 billion in losses in 2023, with cryptocurrency payments accounting for a growing percentage.
