In our socially distanced world, people are making friends and potential love interests online through dating sites, social media, or mobile apps. But not everyone is who they say they are online. Scammers target your heart and your wallet.

According to a report issued by the Federal Trade Commission in November, there were nearly 16 million complaints about scams that started on social media sites from April through June, and losses of $56 million. The figures reflect a 13-fold increase in complaints — and eightfold jump in losses from previous years.
