If you were offered the chance to triple an investment in two months, would you take it? It might be hard to say no, but it might really be too good to be true.
Reports to BBB show that investment scams often take the form of long-term confidence scams, where fraudsters pursue romantic and platonic relationships to gain the trust of their targets. That has caused losses to rise, with the median report increasing from $1,000 in 2021 to almost $6,000 this year.
The study combines consumer stories and examines how scammers convince their targets to hand over thousands of dollars. It also shows how a rise in organized crime based in southeast Asia has helped perpetuate this global scam. An increasingly common tactic is revealed by an experience of a man from California who told BBB he was traveling through France when he matched on a dating app with a woman calling herself “Mei.”
