Don't Let Love Cost You Everything: Protect Yourself from Romance Scams with Legacy Migration

Writer: Luanne DequitoLuanne Dequito


Romance Scams Are on the Rise in Australia 

Thousands of Australians are falling victim to romance scams. Over 5,000 individuals have already received text alerts from authorities, warning them of scammers—primarily operating from the Philippines—who prey on emotions to steal money. Victims, often men over 35, are tricked into investing in cryptocurrency, leading to devastating financial losses. 


Protect Yourself: Spot the Red Flags 

  • 🚫 Don’t Send Money: Never transfer money or cryptocurrency to someone you’ve only met online. 

  • 🎥 Verify Their Identity: Be cautious of people who avoid video calls or face-to-face meetings. 

  • ❤️ Beware of Love-Bombing: Excessive affection or declarations of love early on are red flags. 

  • 🕵️ Guard Personal Info: Keep your private details secure to avoid blackmail. 

  • 📢 Report Scams: Contact Scamwatch (www.scamwatch.gov.au) or Cyber.gov.au to report suspicious activities.
