Ok so lets talk about romance & scams, and how it can happen to anyone 😢 Romance scams are one of the most heartbreaking types of fraud out there. They don’t just steal money — they play with people’s emotions and trust. 👀 What to watch out for: - They often move fast — talking about love and commitment very early. - They avoid meeting in person, making excuses about distance, work, or safety. - Eventually, money requests show up — “emergencies,” “travel costs,” or “investments.” 🛑 Red Flag Tip: If someone you’ve never met in person asks for money or gift cards, it’s almost always a scam. 💬 Community Question: Have you ever spotted a romance scam (or helped someone else notice one)? Share your story below — it might save someone else from falling into the same trap.

He requested to join my membership for women. I let him in knowing I would receive a message about digital marketing. Sure enough after 24 hours he sent me a DM asking me how y digital marketing was going? I reported him and kicked him out.

I’m a retired cyber warrior based in Southern California, where I live with my wife. We’re proud parents of two adult children and grandparents to one energetic little grandson. I’m also a long-time Toastmaster, which means I value clear communication and learning from others. In retirement, I’ve continued pursuing my passion for digital self-defense. I’ve even written a book on the subject, because I believe helping people feel confident and resilient against scams is more important than ever. I’m grateful to join Together Against Scams and look forward to both learning from and contributing to this community.
