chosen.content: I don't know much about the particulars of this particular scam, unfortunately. But from my experience with online fraud and scammers, it generally works like this: They find targets of opportunity through dating sites or other online portals, and try to befriend them by chatting or sending messages. Eventually, they will propose or suggest an expensive or risky business transaction in exchange for a cut of the proceeds. Victims have lost everything from money, to personal identifying information, to their hearts and souls. My recommendation is to proceed with caution and be wary of any situation that seems too good to be true, as it typically is.

rejected.content: Online dating scams are surprisingly widespread and lucrative. Most often they will involve someone creating a fake profile and then befriending the target. They will then ask for money in some form, usually claiming that they need it for an emergency situation or to secure a major business deal. Once their target gives them the money, they vanish. These scammers are very clever and able to lure their victims in by playing on their sympathies, often pretending to have a sick family member or other desperate situation. It is important to be alert to this kind of scam and to verify whatever stories the person is giving out before investing any money.
