Edmonton Women Falling Victim to Online Dating Scams

in online dating scams | No Comments

A few theories are being tossed around as to why an increasing number of women in Canada, namely Edmonton, have fallen victim to online dating scams. Maybe women in Canada are gullible or maybe scammers are intentionally targeting certain parts of Canada in order to run their scams. However, one thing is certain, in only a matter of months, online dating scammers have managed to scam Edmonton women out of nearly $300,000 combined.

Scammers usually get away with these sorts of online scams due to the embarrassment of their victims. This is surely the case in the recent Edmonton incidents, as the only woman who came forward about the scam did so with total anonymity. The Edmonton woman was scammed out of cash by a younger man who she met in an online dating website.

The Edmonton woman explained how after speaking with the young man over the phone several times a day for a period of 3 months, he began to ask her for financial assistance. First, his son was sick and needed money for medication. Later, a family member passed away and he couldn’t afford the funeral costs. After she sent the man an undisclosed amount of money, the man was mysteriously gone.

“These people are really good at what they do.” Said an Edmonton police officer. He went on to say that they suspect all of the incidents in the Edmonton area are connected to the same group of scammers. However, this is little consolation to the anonymous woman who was left heart-broken and penny less by the scammer. “How could you do this to me?” She asked, crying. “How could you take my money, my self-esteem – they take your life.”
