ZDNET - Jan 20 - Interpol has warned of a new investment scam targeting users of mobile dating apps. Users sign up to a dating app and unknowingly end up matching with a scammer. Once a level of trust has been established, the scam artist will then turn the conversation over to finance and potential investments, encouraging their 'match' to join them in a financial venture. Once the match has been milked for their cash, victims are locked out of their 'investment' accounts and the scam artist vanishes, cutting off all contact.
