The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a warning regarding the upcoming Valentine’s Day, telling people to watch out for romance scams.
If there’s money to be made, criminals will find a way to take advantage of any situation. Since Valentine’s Day is one of the year’s biggest celebrations, scammers, fraudsters, and criminals of all kinds come out of the woodwork with new tools.
CISA’s warning is actually quite specific, indicating a situation in which con artists use the Valentine’s Day celebration to get close to their victims, with the singular purpose of getting their hands on finances.
