Gravitas: Online dating scams surge during the pandemic
Online dating has become the new normal. Thousands are finding love online. Many are also being scammed, used for money laundering. Americans lost $500Mn in 2021. People above 60 lost significantly more money. Palki Sharma has the details.

"No matter what, do not send money.", says it all...
NEVER SEND MONEY!!! EVER!!
Private companies which require in person interviews for profiles need to happen. These scammers are horrible and abusive.
If you want to meet people go back to school, go to the local senior club, go to a bar even, but don't mess with people online. Disaster waiting to happen! Senior clubs are in the newspaper telling how much the meals are that week or month and where you go to eat them and the phone number. Call your local senior citizens office and ask where older people go. There's garden clubs, tea clubs,church etc. There's even places for your ethnicity like here there's the polish club, a place for Italians, a synagogue, there's always a place. Don't let some deranged creep online know anything about you. It breaks my heart what they're doing to old people.
I dated online when I was younger. Never ever met a person I would have a second date. I met a better quality of dates when I was a bartender.
She is the best anchor woman since sir Trevor McDonald I love listening to her she is never wrong and always respectful of democracy
KZreadrs are also promoting this type of apps in their video
I met an elderly man who stated he had a date request from a 101 year old woman who wanted a "long term relationship."

DON'T SEND ANY MONEY TO ON LINE DATERS.
What i hate most is online dating. How can you date somebody online without knowing is identified. Even some fiscal self some will not still let you know is identity good.

So you trust offline dating...? Scammers do scams in anyform All you need to do is... identify whether its a scam or find out the Scammer out of normal.
Not only on dating apps unfortunately, house search in the Netherlands through Facebook is full of scammers as well

I'm sorry, but looking for love over 50 is like chasing after a rainbow.....You can hardly find love in your 20s, let alone in your damn 50's. Scammers are well aware of this that's why they're so successful at the "Love Scam" game.

The #1 rule in dating today: Never send money. 95% of scams averted with this one rule. There are many other scams, but this one is huge. peace and love
I am old and now ashamed of myself
Im sure all social media had a spike in usage on their platforms. The affect on mental health during the pendemic was also heightened. Pretty sure these social media platforms care more about their usage and data collection to benefit them than they do who's being exploited..
Some people are very gullible, lonely and desperate. They have themselves to blame.

When you dont trust your own intuition and instincts you become a target for liars and fraudsters. This happens when you are not in touch with your own inner guidance.
You deserve to get scammed if you fall for this.

Why would you send money for someone who you don’t know? Buy love ?

Loneliness and non understanding current family cause of this. Plus over romanticized n sexualised dream dating and mating propagated by media over last 100 years has made humans long for such people.
All this economic crisis causing people to look for old sugar mamas and papas. How low will people go. Elders helped to build up our countries and fought for them. They deserve respect. People should be helping them not hurting them we wouldn't even be here without them😤

Be a Machiavellian tactical thinker or you will be a open suckered for scammers.
desperate people do desperate thing...thinking not included.
that is why you got to have standards and be self-sustained.. also see how funny the mind is.. you don't even know what's exactly on the other side, yet you feel you've "fallen in love" and ready to do anything for them..

Most of the dating scams happens in western and European countries due to more towards digital. Compared to asian countries let's take India 60-69 age group hardly we find around 1% in dating app and only smart phone users. Indian uncle & aunties don't even know what tinder, cupid app means.
