Opening Keynote: They Give Love a Bad Name: How the FTC Educates Consumers to Spot, Stop, and Report Romance Scams
Lesley Fair, Federal Trade Commission
In 2022, people reported financial losses of a staggering $1.3 billion due to romance scams with a median loss of $4,400. Those numbers reflect only reports to the Federal Trade Commission’s Consumer Sentinel Database and could be just the tip of the broken-hearted iceberg. What do we know about who romance scammers target – the demographics may surprise you – and how do they overwhelm people’s defenses? Learn more about the FTC’s sometimes counter-intuitive strategies to help consumers spot, stop, and report romance scams.
