¿Estás buscando comenzar una nueva relación? Para algunas personas, eso puede significar el propósito de conocer un nuevo enamorado en internet. A buen entendedor, pocas palabras: es mejor dejarse llevar por la cabeza que por el corazón.

Millones de estadounidenses usan sitios web de citas, sitios de redes sociales y salas de chateo para conocer gente. Y muchos llegan a forjar relaciones exitosas. Pero los estafadores también usan estos sitios para conocer a sus posibles víctimas. Crean perfiles falsos para establecer relaciones en internet, y con el tiempo, convencen a la gente para que les envíen dinero en nombre del amor.

La Comisión Federal de Comercio (FTC, por su sigla en inglés) recibe miles de reportes por año sobre estafadores "románticos" que crean relaciones falsas en línea con el único propósito de robarles dinero a sus víctimas.

Lamentablemente, es casi seguro que un enamorado virtual que pide dinero sea un estafador oportunista.

En la nueva infografía de la FTC, desarrollada junto con la American Bankers Association Foundation, se listan los signos más comunes de las estafas de citas en internet y qué es lo que tienes que hacer si alguien que conoces en internet te pide dinero.

A continuación, te ofrecemos algunas recomendaciones para que identifiques las diferencias entre un romance verdadero y un estafador que anda a la pesca de una víctima.

Por favor, comparte esta información con otras personas. Es posible que a las víctimas les dé vergüenza hablar sobre sus experiencias, pero tú puedes ayudar. Una simple llamada, email o mensaje de texto para decir “Mira lo que acabo de encontrar” y compartir esta información puede marcar una diferencia en la vida de otra persona.

I have a guy I been talking to for a couple months and he said he was from Cali on a contract in Nigeria. He was getting a large amount of money for this job and was afraid it would be stolen over and wanted to send it to me. I told him not to put my name on it. So he sends me a picture of the check it's for over 500 million$. But he put my name on it and said it was coming courier company and wouldn't have to pay anything. Then he started asking for money to come to me and marry me and help take care of my elderly mom. He talked her into having me send him 200$ a week later it was another 300$. All the while talking to my mom begging her to get a loan and send even more. That he would be here the next day. She didn't send him anything so then calls crying to her on the phone how he loved us and all that kind of crap. Now he's still trying to get my last 70$. I have fallen so far behind my whole disablity check went to try to catch up on some of the things I didn't pay cuz he should have been here by now. He has made fake emails to the airline over there, fake emails from the courier company and actually made it look like they needed 200$ to not tell the authorities how much was the check was for and that it's being held till I pay or they turn it in to customs. It's a big bunch of BS and he just gets mad when I tell him no. His supposedly name is Paul Williams or Paul Christopher. I don't know where to start with reporting him to the proper authorities.

Same situation with a guy by the name of Michael Osborne. Met him on Yahtzee asked me to go to a hangout site, been chatting 3 weeks he professes his love for me and says he has not been in relationship since his wife of 20 years was in a fire accident and he is widowed on a crude oil rig off Scotland shores. He owns this contract supposedly and will not get paid until it has been completed which is in 3 weeks . He then states he is coming to spend a weeek with me. And then will go back to oil rig for 3 weeks then back to me for 3 days before going to New Jersey where he claims he is from to see his daughter who is w a nanny so all along this has seems bizarre to me then finally in only 3 weeks wants to know if I can help him raise money to have a hydraulic fixed and he needs 25000.00 I laughed I said absolutely not. I don’t even know u. He claims now I act different and he can’t lose me he loves me so much. Sickening !!

I was talking to Michael Osborne too. His daughters name was Annie. We talked for months. He was on his way home but was in a car accident on the way to the airport in Scotland . He was injured. I asked him what hospital he was in. He told me so I called hospital to talk to him but they didn’t have a patient by that name. Didn’t hear from him for about a year. About a month ago, he said that he was in a coma for 6 months. I told him that I had no money. He said he just wanted me. I told him because of him , I was broke!

Oh wow... you also got found on Yahtzee then.... the name by this Guy is Michael Erik... same he asked me to go on hangout and I'm still chatting with him... because my feeling was from the beginning that this could be romance scam so I'm playing the game and I'm collecting the data for the owner of the Yahtzee game. His story was that he lost his wife 20 years a go on cancer is from Sweden but currently on a oil rig in Anchorage, Alaska. I'm trying to get him to call me but his excuses are always fun. Did you got a picure from the guy named Michael?

Does anyone know someone that goes by the name david william? I met him online, talked for 3 weeks and then he asked me for money. First it was 50 dollars for itune so he can call me. then it was 500 dollars to fix a machine that he uses on his oil rig in Norway, then it went from 500 dollars to 1200 dollars for his daughter to get a phone for school so her friends won't laugh at her. Told me he lost his wife 4 years ago, said all the right things, wants to marry me, can't live without me, etc..

I met a guy on words with friends two, he went by Michael F Gray. He started to chat with me then he asked me to move the conversation to hangouts. We started talking on June 15th, he told me that he was 60yrs old, a widower and had two teenagers. He told me that he was a supervisor for an oil drilling company in South shores Alabama. Just this last week he asked me if I could help him by getting him a gift card for $400.00. I told him that I didn't have it. Then last night he ordered me to give him $200.00. I told him that I didn't have it. He always called me from the app so I'm glad that he doesn't have my phone number. After a few choice words I hung up on him and blocked him and deleted the app. Watch out for him.

Has anyone ever heard of Harry Wilson? He supposedly worked on an oil rig and is now stuck in customs in Houston. My mom has sent so much money to him. We can’t convince her he is a scammer. He has been held in customs for almost 2 weeks and he said it is because he got into an argument with the custom’s agent. She has sent I tunes cards, cash, Walmart cards. He was supposed to be here today, last week, the week before. Soon and so on. He is bleeding her dry.

Please! Harry Wilson is a Huge romance scammer!!!! Claims his wife died in car accident 4 yrs ago. In his 60’s. He says. Has a 16yr old son named Michael in boarding school, he says! Claims he is from Cleveland, OH. Talked all the time on Hangouts & was never able to get his camera to work so we could video chat. Pics sent are all handsome...but fake! Says he is currently in Dubai awaiting to receive his money from contract he is fighting for in the court there! Claims to be independent contractor on oil rigs! But detained there because of Covid & some of the people have gotten sick ! Loves you dearly all the time. Professes to be a Christian & I have learned he is such a fake in that too! Took me a long time to get over it all. Lost tens of thousands of dollars in his various elaborate stories that were SO convincing! Unfortunately, I succumbed to the lies. Paid heavily for such “ true love”. Always detained & never able to get off rig to come home. We were going to get married can’t tell you how many times!! Please save yourself from the hurt! I pray he gets caught!

Stop talking to her it's a scam and the person you see in a picture is not the real person your talking to. My mother is so in need of love she has given over $50,000 in the past 3 years, and when I say it wasnt just 1 guy it was about 8 different guys at different times that she was giving money to. She even flew to New Jersey thinking she would meet him. I warned her over and over and over . I think they have a list of women and men that when she finally figures one out ( because I scream it at her) they have another crook ready to pounce. I've heard them all 1. Child sick need money, medical Bill's, , funeral, equipment breaking, ect.... the new one was the iTunes.... they can sell them for cash. They even had my mom excepting stolen credit card merchandise telling her they would come to her house first and to send them back out from her address. She was shipped 100 laptops. I put a stop to that one really quick. There all over the net. Dont trust them period they can claim to be anything they want but there not trust me I've seen them all and the sad part is after 3 years I'm still having get rid of these guys because she keeps falling for 1 after another

I have a similar experience with a girl who said she is Mandy Bender, sent me a friend request on Facebook, I was curious why a beautiful girl like you should contact me, anyway she got me a hangouts site which suppose to be private and we chatted for 3 days and I had a inkling I was being scammed as she asked me to get a I tunes voucher, I played dumb and made out I couldn't get one, then she started asking me about money so I said I was in debt, the big thing was asking for my address which I declined, so I knew she was a scammer, she told me I was the best thing that has happened to her, she kept telling how much she loved me and I was the only person for her. I have now blocked her and good riddance. Facebook need to do something about these persons.

I just had a similar experience on Instagram. A guy named Kurt McMahon sent me a friend request. Then started professing his love for me (too quickly). He was a legal us citizen, lives in LA, Beverly Hills, has a son named Oliver. That his lost his wife 2 years ago in a car accident. He was looking for love again and was convinced I was the one, the search was over (lol). He even wanted to meet up with me.Then started asking for iTunes cards to upload some files online for a project he had at work, a contract that was gonna help him gain lot of money. He claimed he couldn’t use his credit card bc he had not had time to renew it (he thought I was that stupid to believe that). Then he switched to Amazon cards ($50-100) claiming that he would buy stuff for me. When I told him I didn’t have money he would ask to get him just a $25 iTunes or Amazon card instead. I knew he was lying all along. The day (which was October 16) he supposedly on his way to meet up with me, he texted saying he needed a $100 Amazon card to buy stuff for his son Oliver, it was urgent. I was communicating with him tru hangouts app. I went bck to his Instagram page it said user not found. That was yesterday October 16, 2018. Watch out out there y’all! I told him countless time even from start that I he was a fraud, a fake! Told him that yesterday before blocking him on Instagram and deleting him on hangouts. Instagram needs to do sth about these persons too!!!!!

Has a daughter named Rose in boarding school. . Never seen him. Has sent photo but I do t know if it’s really him . can't find him on Google either at address he gave me. What y’all think?

I have gotten the oil rig scam too. I was asked to send $6000 to Karen to help her buy a blowout preventer for $50,000. Unfortunately, I was raised in the oilfield and blowout preventers cost at least $1.5 million. She said use bitcoin, nope. Then pay my chopper fare back to Texas. Offshore rigs use a helicopter service in Louisiana, no again. To those out there who get texts from an offshore rig, please understand any all equipment on any rig is very expensive and insured. Someone asking for any amount to help get them services or equipment is to be ignored. Like I said a blowout preventer doesn’t cost &50,000. It’s so much more.

I’m in a similar situation as well ladies. Be on the lookout for Jack Gardner, claims to be from Norway originally but has been living in Miami for 18 years. He claims to be a petroleum engineer contractor for Exxon Mobile. He says he divorced and has custody of his 2 daughters who reside part of their time in Norway. Three weeks ago he signed a two month contract to be on a rig in the Gulf of Mexico. While he was on business in California signing contract he claims he was robbed and his phone and money was stolen. He never asked me for anything up until 2 weeks ago. Stated that he couldn’t get any money to his daughters and if I could get them a couple of gift cards at $100 ea Then in the past week he claims his mother is in the hospital in Norway and he needs to borrow $2000.00 for medicine or she will die. Needless to say I saw right through this scam. I have pictures of this guy and his daughters. I don’t know how people like this are able to sleep at night.

I’ve got “Jack Gardner” chatting me up, too. Petroleum Engineer from Norway, daughters live with his mom over there, he is in FL. I enjoyed the attention at first, but luckily didn’t get dragged too far in. He said he loved me right away, calls me heartcode (?), Angel, Queen & is very kind. He hasn’t asked for anything yet, I ignored comments like ‘have to get card for daughter before heading to rig to start contract’ and ‘my Netflix account not working right now-frustrating.’ No, I didn’t give him my login! A few other red flags in convos got me skeptical. I sent a couple pics of me (Fully Clothed!) & said I was pretty unhappy in my marriage. Didn’t realize my last name was in my Words with Friends 2 profile. So I’m nervous about blocking everything just yet. Should I play along a little & let it fizzle out? Will he threaten to contact my spouse via US Mail (address can be found in Google) to tell him I was talking to another man? He also has my phone # from WhatsApp & my email from Hangouts. He said his phone fell into the sea when taking pictures on the rig for me & is now messaging from his desktop. I’m sick to my stomach & embarrassed.

From LA (phone matches), wife died of cancer and he has a daughter that will be 16 soon. Very handsome, green eyes, sweet talking, sends poems. He sent me some pictures. As soon as he asked for money I have blocked him. Do you have any photos that we could compare?

Wife died of cancer 5 yrs ago. Daughters name is Jane dungan. Supposedly had her emailing me. She was calling me mom after the first email. He always called me."my dear" . Told me that Jane got into a bad car wreck and he needed 800.00 dollars for the doctor. He couldn't send the money from the rig or leave the rig until the contract was finished. I didn't send any money.
