You’ve heard about them. You’ve seen true crime shows about them. But would you be able to stop a romance scammer if you were the one being targeted?
Romance scams are one of the most emotionally damaging and financially costly scams out there and they truly can happen to anyone — even those who aren’t actively dating or looking for love.
They do not target a specific age group, income level, or relationship status. Anyone looking for connection can be vulnerable.
These scams often feel deeply personal, which is why they can be so effective and so devastating.
At Rivermark, protecting your financial well being means helping you recognize threats before they cause harm. Understanding how romance scams work is one of the most powerful ways to stay safe.
