GMP issue warning after criminals target FIVE people looking for love in one week
Greater Mancunians who are looking for love have been issued a warning following a spate of romance fraud cases. Five cases were reported across the region last week, Greater Manchester Police says.

Scammers will often build a relationship with their victims over time." He promised to transfer the money back as soon as he returned but minutes after sending over the cash, 'Tom' blocked Sophie. “He was definitely my type," she told the M.E.N.
“I was devastated and it's definitely put me off online dating. I just feel very lied to and deceived which is silly as we only spoke for a month or so.”
