romance scams

Illinois might be making a comeback this year when it comes to love.

Romance scams have grown exponentially over the last few years, and they show no signs of slowing down. It's amazing to look at the amount of money that's been scammed from people who are just looking for love.

Just because people over the age of 55 are, and have been, the focus of many different scams and money grabs doesn't mean there aren't other groups with a bullseye on their back.

It's been quite the week for scam-related news. Earlier in the week, we told you about "Freeze Scammers," then we got more news about unemployment fraud and scams, and now we wrap up the week with news about "Romance Scams."
