💔 Crypto Romance Scam Checker

A crypto romance scam is the hybrid of two of the most damaging fraud categories: an online romantic relationship (dating apps, social DMs, or 'wrong number' chats) and a crypto investment trap. The 'partner' you've never met in person gradually introduces you to a crypto trading platform that delivers fake profits — then drains everything you deposit.

Classic romance scams ask for money for emergencies (medical bills, plane tickets, visas). Crypto romance scams ask you to 'invest with them' on a private platform — which feels much less like 'sending money to a stranger' and much more like a wealth-building opportunity you share as a couple. The emotional cover makes victims invest far larger amounts.

Paste the conversation, the platform URL, the partner's profile screenshot, or the wallet address you were asked to deposit to. Our AI scores the language for known romance-investment patterns, reverse-image-searches the photos, checks the URL and wallet against scam databases, and gives you a verdict in seconds.

No. They are sophisticated clones of real exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, OKX). Account balances and 'profits' grow on the screen but the funds are gone the moment you deposit them. Withdrawals are blocked behind escalating 'tax', 'credit score', or 'compliance' fees.

Anywhere from days to many months. The longer the grooming, the larger the eventual loss. The scammers run dozens of victims simultaneously and can afford to invest weeks per target because the average payoff is huge.

Sometimes — if you act within hours and the funds haven't been laundered through mixers or chain-hopped through privacy tools. Time matters: contact your exchange's compliance team immediately, file a cybercrime report, and open a Deep AI Investigation on ScamGuard to trace wallets and produce an evidence pack.

Because their profile photo isn't them. They're often operators in a Southeast Asian compound running scripted conversations as a persona — the photo is a stolen Instagram or stock image. Any romantic interest who consistently can't do live video is, with very few exceptions, not who they say they are.

Don't argue the facts directly — victims are emotionally invested and pushback drives them deeper. Show concrete evidence: reverse-image-search results on the partner's photo, ScamGuard verdicts on the platform, copies of identical messages other victims received, and wallet tracing showing where the money went. Bring in a trusted family member. Be patient — acceptance takes days. Once they accept, move fast on bank/exchange notification and incident documentation.
