People over 70 losing $10,000 to scammersThe median loss to an individual who was a victim of a romance scam was $2,600 in 2018. That was “about seven times higher than the median loss across all other fraud types,” the report stated. While scammers were active on dating websites or apps, the report also noted that many people were targeted on Facebook, where the scammer would begin with a Facebook message.
“She was a Hispanic/black young lady who claimed to be in the military and was currently on duty in Iraq or something like that,” the 27-year-old said.
