Use a reverse image search to make sure you are not the victim of a scam

 


A:David, lately you’ve been smiling a lot and you’re always on your cellphone, have you got a new girlfriend?

B:I do. I met this really cute girl on a dating app. We talk all the time and get on like a house on fire ... but ...

A:What is it?

B:I think she’s in trouble, she asked to borrow money and I’m worried about her.

A:I’d be careful if I was you, it could be a scam. We should use her photograph to conduct an online search

A:Wow. There are lots of photographs of this girl all with different names. Someone is clearly using a fake photo and asking for money, it’s definitely a scam don’t be taken in.

Scam gangs use stolen photographs or AI generated pictures and pretend to be attractive men and women. Using the reverse image search function on search engines to find the original source of the picture is the best way to make sure you don’t get scammed.

Always remember

As soon as someone asks for money on a dating app be vigilant, don’t fall victim to a scam.
