romance scam
WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND HOPE TO BRING THIS EXCITING WORKSHOP TO AUGUSTA SOON. PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS.
Romance scams start with fake profiles on online dating sites. The scammer, who is conveniently working abroad, quickly builds a relationship with the targeted victim, exchanging photos, romantic messages, or even talking by phone. Then they will make a request: money needed for an emergency or maybe to plan an in-person visit. The target sends money, and then never hears from the love interest again.
South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley has released multiple warnings in the last few weeks alerting South Dakotans to new or renewed scams targeting our state. As you work, travel and give back, keep these scams in mind:
