Scammers create fake online dating profiles or social media personas using stolen photos and fabricated stories. Once they gain the victim's trust, they fabricate emergencies — like unexpected medical bills, the cost of a flight to visit, or other pressing financial needs — and ask for money.
Anytime you receive an urgent request to send cash to someone, that's a big red flag and an indication that a scam is taking place.
Around Valentine's Day, you may receive an email or text message inviting you to receive an e-card from a "fan." In some cases, these are scam emails that contain malware or links to malicious websites.
One way to spot these scams is poor grammar and spelling, although AI chatbots have made this less effective. Another telltale sign of a scam is that there is no specific sender and the gift or e-card contains a link to a random website. Unfortunately, AI scams are everywhere, but you can spot them with a little effort.
Scammers set up fraudulent websites offering great discounts on popular Valentine’s Day items like flowers, chocolates or jewelry. They take payment but never deliver the product or the item is of much lower quality than promised.
Be wary of extremely low prices that seem too good to be true. Scammers know that most people can’t resist the lure of a great deal. Another sign that you’re dealing with a fake flower or gift shop is the lack of contact information or a physical address.
You may receive a text message, social media direct message, or email claiming to have a “secret admirer.” The scammer asks you to “confirm your identity” or “click a link to view the message.” Doing so could install malware or take you to a fake website that steals personal data. Phishing messages and emails are one of the most common types of scams.
Similar to fake e-cards, unsolicited requests for personal information like your name, address, or financial information are a big red flag. Likewise, anything with a suspicious link, unusual domain name, or shortened URL could indicate that you're being pushed to a phishing site.
Scammers sell fake gift cards or coupon codes — often through online marketplaces or social media ads — at a discount. You buy one and think you’ve got a great deal, only to find out it’s worthless when you redeem it. Or, you send a gift card to a loved one as a lovely Valentine’s Day gesture, only to find it’s useless.
As with florists and other fake gift sites, steep discounts are always a telltale sign. Sure, there are some sites that offer steep discounts. But they’re rare, especially on expensive items. For example, why would someone sell a brand new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra for half price a few weeks after its February 2025 launch?
While Valentine's Day comes with an increase in romance scams, much of the advice on how to avoid them remains the same. That is, these tips are universal and will help you avoid scams all the time, not just on Valentine's Day.
Trust your intuition when in doubt - if something "doesn't feel right", it's better to be cautious.
