Romance Fraud Awareness Week

Love Said are running Romance Fraud Awareness Week this week, from today, 29th September through to the 4th October (around the existing World Romance Fraud Prevention Day on the 3rd October).

A lot of work has gone into creating a great programme, and we’re cheering them on from the sidelines:

29th September: For Victims and Survivors-It happened to me

30th September: Dating and Social Media Platforms-It starts with the platform

(You can find out more about the role of dating platforms and apps here: The role of Dating Sites in Adult Grooming.)

1st October: Financial Institutions –The Money Trail Starts With Trust

(Information on Financial Grooming is being developed on the CAAGe website: Financial Grooming)

2nd October: Law Enforcement and Legal Stakeholders-When the Law Doesn’t See Love as a Crime

(Keep your eyes peeled on October 2 for the results of CAAGe research on this front)

3rd October: World Romance Scam Prevention Day-Global Partnership

The MY VOICE Campaign & Unbreaking Project- Kate’s Hugs.

4th October: Friends, Family and Other Community –It’s Closer Than You Think

Romance fraud doesn’t just affect victims, it impacts entire circles of trust and those whose photos are stolen.

The hashtags that Love Said is using are #wallofwords #romancefraud and #lovesaid
