Romance Scam Compensation

Quick Guide

  • Romance scams are indeed increasing, with scammers exploiting social media platforms and dating apps like Tinder to build trust with their victims. These fraudsters create fake profiles and establish emotional connections, often leading to requests for money under various pretenses, such as medical emergencies or travel expenses.
  • Banks have a responsibility to safeguard their customers against Authorised Push Payment (APP) fraud, which includes scams like these. If you've fallen victim to such a scam and transferred money, you may have a route to claim a refund from the bank. This is where services like Great Claims come into play. We specialise in assisting individuals to recover losses from APP fraud.
  • We operate on a no-win, no-fee basis, meaning you won't incur any costs if your compensation claim is unsuccessful. This approach offers a risk-free option to attempt to reclaim funds lost to romance scams, leveraging the expertise of specialists who are familiar with the intricacies of bank fraud and compensation claims.

Have you lost money due to a romance scam or fraud?

It's an unfortunate reality that while many people experience misfortune in love, few anticipate the possibility of financial loss to someone they believed they could trust. The number of individuals falling victim to scams on dating or matchmaking apps is indeed on the rise. These romance scammers skilfully gain the trust of their victims, often leading to significant financial losses.

In situations where you've been deceived and financially exploited by a romance scammer, there are avenues for recourse. Great Claims is one such option, offering specialised assistance in these matters. We focus on helping victims of romance scams to claim refunds and seek reimbursement for their losses.

Our expertise in dealing with such cases can be invaluable, as we understand the complexities involved in proving the fraud and navigating the claims process with banks or financial institutions. By taking this route, victims not only stand a chance to recover their lost funds but also bring attention to these fraudulent practices, potentially helping to prevent similar scams in the future.

Romance scammers on dating apps (such as Tinder, Match, Bumble, Hinge) or social media platforms (like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) do not discriminate based on age, gender, or sexual orientation. However, they often target older individuals who might be more vulnerable or isolated.

The scam usually starts with contact on a dating app, swiftly moving to private messaging or email to avoid the app's security measures. Recognizing a scammer can be challenging because they often come across as genuinely interested, asking numerous questions while being reticent about their own details. Despite this, they may quickly offer reassurances about their identity, such as showing a copy of their passport or driver's licence.

Victims, often feeling flattered and believing in a mutual connection, might easily trust the scammer. This trust is then exploited through requests for financial help, like a loan until payday, under various pretences. In these scenarios, the victim, driven by goodwill and the belief in a genuine relationship, may agree to send money, not realizing that they're being taken advantage of by someone with no intention of repayment.

It's a cautionary tale about the importance of vigilance in online interactions, especially when they quickly progress to financial requests, even if a strong emotional bond seems to have been formed. Remember, genuine relationships, particularly online, should be built on transparency and take time to develop, without immediate financial obligations or requests.
