🚨 Safety Tip of the Day: Online Dating Scams

Be cautious when someone you've just met on a dating app starts asking for money or financial assistance. Scammers often use emotional manipulation to gain your trust before requesting money for various reasons, such as emergencies, travel expenses, or medical bills. Never send money to someone you've only interacted with online, no matter how convincing their story may seem. If you're unsure, consider doing some research or consulting with trusted friends or family members before taking any action.
