Beware of romance scams this Valentine’s Day

Canberrans are being urged to be aware of romance scams this Valentine’s Day.

65 reports of dating and romance scams were made in the ACT last year – with almost half a million dollars lost.

Almost a third of dating and romance scams in Australia occur via social media and online forums.

Minister for Consumer Affairs Shane Rattenbury says Canberrans should be cautious with personal information and funds, when it comes to looking for love online.
