The increasing reliance on dating platforms like Tinder has led to a surge in romance scams, particularly in countries like Colombia, where internet usage and mobile connectivity are rapidly expanding. Unfortunately, alongside genuine relationships, there exists a darker side: romance scams. Colombia, with its rich culture and vibrant dating scene, has emerged as a backdrop for various forms of online fraud, particularly scams perpetrated through platforms like Tinder. These scams exploit emotional vulnerabilities and often lead to significant financial losses for victims.
Tinder romance scams typically involve an individual who creates a fake profile to gain the trust of unsuspecting users or a real Colombian person who manipulate emotions and create elaborate narratives to solicit money under various pretense, ranging from phony needs to fabricated stories of illness or financial hardship. In Colombia, these scams have raised concerns due to the increasing number of victims and their cross-border implications.
Criminal Codes: Colombia’s Criminal Code encompasses various articles that can be applied to combat online fraud and scams, including fraud (Article 246) and identity theft (Article 289).
Lack of Awareness: Many individuals do not recognize the signs of a romance scam until it is too late.
Consulting Legal Help: Victims of romance scams should consult with legal professionals to discuss their options and understand their rights under Colombian law.
