1. Romance Scam
Number one on our list of scams con artists will use to trick you is Romance Scam. Once done via letters and stolen photographs, today it has found its new home on dating sites. Once the scammer has established a relationship with the victim, a terrible secret is revealed. In order for a scammer (usually a woman, because men are more gullible and love to play the role of a knight in shining armor) to travel and meet the victim, so that they can live the rest of their lives happily ever after, a small amount of money is required. Depending on the victim, the money can be used for plane tickets, hospital fees or even bribing an official so that a passport may be issued.
