friend requests

I am confused. .. Many looking for a relationship. What gives? Makes no sense, so what is this all about? ...
Yeah, they want a relationship with your bank account.

Most of them are hoping that you're DESPERATE enough
to engage with them and empty your bank account.

"Sweetheart scammers use fake profiles ... to engage other users,
stir up romantic feelings, and ask for money.

Scammers commonly target older adults, who often
have retirement savings and likely live alone.

And, adults 60 and older tend to be less informed about online scams in general."

Block / Ignore them as all they want is to fall in love with your Credit Card. Do not entertain them with any attention or replies. Just move on and let be. Hawk

Same, They often end up asking me for money.

There are a lot of real people out there, but a lot of fake profiles still also exist on here. The fake profiles always will ask for money, most of the real ones will know not to do that.
