Online romance scammers costing Canadians millions

Online dating scammers have cost Canadians looking for love over $17 million in 2017.

It’s a number the West Parry Sound OPP and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre want you to remember before giving your heart to someone you don’t really know.

OPP Constable Miles Loach says to be especially wary if the word love creeps in a little too soon.

 

He also advises that if you’re meeting that new person for the first time, do it in a public place and be extra cautious when the conversation turns to money.

 

Police advise to always to protect your personal information and never send intimate videos or pictures of yourself.
