Sure. One story is about a woman who met a man on an online dating site. He claimed to be a wealthy businessman working overseas. He started asking her for money for various reasons like medical emergencies for his family. After she sent thousands of dollars, he disappeared.
A common online dating scam story involves scammers using stolen photos to create fake profiles. They target lonely people. For example, a man thought he was chatting with a beautiful woman. She asked him for money to pay for her flight to come see him. He sent the money, but of course, she never showed up.
One common online dating scam story is when the scammer pretends to be a wealthy individual working overseas. They build an emotional connection with the victim, then start asking for money for various reasons like a business emergency or medical issue for a family member. Eventually, they disappear with the money.

Pay attention to the language they use. Scammers often use overly affectionate language very quickly. They might say 'I love you' within days of starting to talk. Also, if their story seems too good to be true, like being a millionaire but having some strange financial problem only you can help with, it's probably a scam. Real relationships build more slowly and naturally.
One common type is the financial scam. Like I mentioned before, scammers ask for money for things like medical bills or travel expenses. Another is the identity theft scam. They may get enough information from you during the chats to steal your identity.
First, don't share too much personal financial information early on. For example, don't tell someone you just met online about your savings or income.
Verify the person's identity. You can do a reverse image search on their profile pictures. If the pictures are stolen from someone else, it's a red flag. Also, don't share too much personal information like your bank details or home address too soon.
Sure. My friend met her soulmate through an online dating app. They started chatting about their shared love for hiking. After a few weeks of chatting, they decided to meet up for a hike. They hit it off instantly and now they are happily married.
Well, there was this other story. A girl matched with a guy on a dating app. They were chatting and the guy said he was a 'professional dog walker'. So when they met, he showed up with about ten dogs. It was chaos but also hilarious as they all tried to go into the restaurant together. They had to find an outdoor table just so the dogs could stay with them.
Sure. One success story is about my friend Lisa. She met her partner on a popular dating app. They started chatting, found they had a lot in common like a love for hiking and indie music. After a few months of dating, they are now happily married.
Well, I heard this story. A guy on an online dating app was chatting with a girl. They agreed to have a video call before meeting in person. During the call, the guy's cat suddenly jumped on his head and refused to get down. The girl thought it was hilarious and named the cat 'the third wheel'. They still went on a date later and that cat became a big part of their story.
