* Romance scams cost Americans almost $700 million dollars last year, and it's showing no signs of slowing down. We talk with cyber security expert Alex Hamerstone about what to look for and how serious a security crisis this is. * We go live to Rome and get an update on Pope Francis's condition

Romance scams cost Americans almost $700 million dollars last year, and it's showing no signs of slowing down. We talk with cyber security expert Alex Hamerstone about what to look for and how serious a security crisis this is.

In this latest episode, NJBankers President and CEO, Mike Affuso, sits down with Chris Brower, Northfield Bank's Senior Security and Fraud Coordinator for a discussion on the biggest challenges facing banks and consumers when it comes to fraud prevention, some of the newest scams, how to protect yourself against fraud, and more

Romance scams have been around forever, but now with artificial intelligence, global 5 g high speed connection, money transfer options on most apps, and geo location software, online romance scams are estimated to be morethan $1.3 billion dollars in losses just in the United States alone.   Million Kids has been educating adults about romance scams for several months now.  However, we feel there is an urgent need to raise the funding to develop a targeted outreach education program for Seniors so they will recognize when they may be in danger of being financially exploited. Because of technology, things have changed, and the public (especially older individuals)need to understand how this work.  Historically, like most victims of online exploitation, middle age and senior adults believe that "it won't happen to them".  All of us want to believe that we would be smart enough to know when someone is trying to steal our life savings.  But with artificial intelligence, overseas criminals have excelled in using technology to fleece even the most sophisticated victim. The challenge is that individuals who are alone in later years,often go online to seek companionship, share video game chatrooms, access dating sites, or simply answer an email or text for someone we "think" we know.   Now artificial intelligence provides criminals with your mostpersonal information that can be used to pinpoint psychological weaknesses and they will have access to details of your home, your job, your travels, your family, and your friends.  This information is smoothly used to ignite amoment of passion, start a flirting relationship, and generally foster trust.  What looks like a new best friend, or someone who finallyunderstands me, a romantic interest that reignites the long dead passions, the victim will not realize that they are actually interacting with a bot, an algorithm, or a criminal ring working out of Nigeria, Philippines or Myanmarthat is designed to take every dime you have and are left destitute. Million Kids believes this does not have to happen.  We aredeveloping an outreach program to educate " Big Kids - some in their 70's and 80's" about how online scams work and how not to be a victim. If you are interested in helping us get this program off theground, please go to MillionKids.org/donate.  This radio show is designed to start the outreach process so everyone understands the power of artificial intelligence in online scams and most important to educate yourself and yourloved ones so they won't become a victim of online exploitation.

It may be Valentine's Day but not everything in love is chocolates and roses. Romance scams are affecting an increasing number of Kiwis, fraudsters crafting elaborate fake relationships and emotional connections in order to convince their victims to send money. Last week the Herald reported on a woman who wasted two years and more than $375,000 on what turned out to be a romance scam with an impersonation of actor Martin Henderson. ANZ's Head of Customer Protection Alan Thomsen told Kerre Woodham that there's a misconception that those who fall victim to romance scams are all over the age of 60, but a third of their victims are under the age of 45. He says that many victims are in a vulnerable state, and it's important for people to stop and pause before committing to anything. ANZ is also making an effort to educate and raise awareness around romance scams, creating a unique rose. The “Scammers Bloom”, is a beautiful long-stemmed rose - the ultimate symbol of love - and while it looks beautiful, once you get closer you realise it smells fishy. The special blooms will be available at their pop-up shop 'Love Stinks' in Ponsonby, Auckland. The bouquets come with a charming collection of Valentine's Day cards which help normalise talking about romance scams, and give people the tips to help look out for and avoid romance scams.

She explains that in August 2015, she started using dating apps for the second time after having had a successful two-and-a-half-year relationship with someone she met online. She talks about how being a single mom with limited time and resources led her to rely on dating apps.[00:01:35] – Anna's Personality and Approach to Relationships: Anna discusses her attachment style, describing herself as someone who gets attached to people quickly—both in romantic and non-romantic contexts—and becomes fiercely loyal. She shares that although she rarely feels romantic connections when she does, she "falls hard and fast."[00:02:00] – The Start of the Deception: Anna recounts how she was drawn to a particular dating profile not because of the man's picture but because of his words. His profile described him as humble, grounded, and someone who hated poor communication and mind games, which made Anna feel like he had been hurt before and wouldn't hurt her. She matched with him and started exchanging messages the next morning.[00:03:00] – The Relationship Begins: Anna describes how their online communication turned into an intense connection over the span of three months, mirroring the way her previous successful online relationship had started. She shares that even before they met in person, she expressed to him that she was scared by how close she already felt to him, signalling the emotional intensity early on.[00:04:00] – The Emotional Rollercoaster Begins: Anna reflects on the emotional intensity of the relationship after meeting in person, describing it as "incredibly intense." She shares that the connection felt like something out of a soulmate story but that she now recognizes it as part of the manipulation.[00:07:08] – The Beginning of Instincts: Anna talks about the early stages of her relationship, explaining how she started to feel something was off after her partner unexpectedly pulled away.

She describes the shock of finding out that her partner had not only lied to her but was actively deceiving others. T[00:37:00] – The Investigator Within: Using her research skills, Anna reveals how she tracked her partner's location and pieced together his real identity. She explains the various techniques she used, including distance tracking and LinkedIn searches, to find out where he worked and his real name. [00:54:24] – The Legal System's Failure: Anna discusses her long battle with the legal system, detailing how the police initially dismissed her case despite clear evidence of multiple victims. She talks about the difficulty in getting authorities to recognize the severity of these scams and the emotional toll they take on victims. [01:05:00] – The Emotional Toll and Advocacy for Change: Anna reflects on the emotional damage caused by her experience, describing the “triple trauma” victims endure: the relationship ending, discovering the deception, and losing trust in oneself. She also talks about her campaign for legal reform, calling for better protection for victims and stricter regulations on online dating platforms. Episode LinksLove Said - https://www.lovesaid.org/Catch the Catfish website - https://catchthecatfish.com/
