Online scammers are active around Valentine’s Day trying to obtain money or card details with false promises of love.
10.02.2026 –Whether via dating platforms or social media, criminals often build up trust with their victims over a long period of time - and then suddenly ask for financial help.
How to protect your heart and your bank account:
- Break off contact immediately if money is requested or you are asked to pass on your card details or passwords.
- Talk to family members or good friends about the situation and get their advice if you are unsure.
- Report suspicious profiles to the police.
