As Valentine's Day approaches, people in Australia and New Zealand looking for love online are being warned about the dangers of scammers looking to take advantage of them. In Australia, Scamwatch reported that more than $40 million was lost last year in dating and romance scams. In New Zealand, a recent survey found that 25% of Kiwi adults have fallen victim to an online dating or romance scam, with 62% of victims suffering a financial loss.

Cyber criminals are becoming more cunning and are using online games and websites to contact victims and build an emotional connection.

It is important to stay vigilant and be aware of these types of scams.
