What Is a Cryptocurrency Romance Scam?

Romance scammers build trust over weeks or months — meeting victims on dating apps, social media, or WhatsApp — before introducing cryptocurrency investment opportunities or making direct requests for funds. Once the money is transferred, contact typically ends. The scammer is usually part of an organised criminal operation, often based in Southeast Asia. Despite this, the funds are traceable on the blockchain.

How to Recognise a Romance Scam

These scams follow recognisable patterns. Knowing the warning signs can prevent further loss — and confirms that what happened to you was not your fault.

  • Met on a dating app, social media, or WhatsApp — you have never met in person
  • Moved quickly to a private messaging platform (WhatsApp, Telegram)
  • Introduced you to a cryptocurrency investment platform they claimed to use
  • Showed convincing "profits" on a platform you deposited funds into
  • Asked for more deposits to "unlock" withdrawal or cover taxes or fees
  • Had excuses for why you could not video call or meet in person
  • The "investment platform" website appeared recently and has no verifiable history
  • Contact ended abruptly after you stopped sending money or asked to withdraw
