Online and Social Media Related Crime
Online Matrimonial Fraud
A new match on a dating or matrimonial app becomes close very fast. Then they ask for money.
Warning signs
The profile is new. They avoid a normal video call.
They talk about love or marriage very quickly.
A crisis appears: a hospital bill, customs, or a stuck ticket.
They ask you not to tell your family until the money is sent.
Someone you have not met in person does not need an emergency transfer from you.
