Romance Scam Verification Checklist
Use a calm verification sequence before affection, urgency, or a request for money overrides your normal safeguards.
- Pause the conversation and do not click, pay, share a code, or provide personal information.
- Name the pressure: urgency, secrecy, fear, romance, authority, or a promised reward.
- End the incoming contact if the person resists a pause or independent check.
- Find the person, company, bank, platform, or agency through a source you locate yourself.
- Call or message through a trusted number or account already saved—not a link or number supplied in the request.
- Check the payment method, recipient, domain, account age, and explanation for inconsistencies.
- Ask another trusted person to review the request before any irreversible action.
- Save messages, receipts, usernames, call details, and URLs privately if the request appears fraudulent.
- Report through the relevant official channel and contact the payment provider immediately if money or credentials were sent.

A first-day response plan for containing misuse, securing accounts, preserving records, and starting official recovery.
- Contact the bank, card issuer, platform, or company where the suspicious activity occurred using its official number.
- Ask whether the account can be locked, transactions stopped, sessions revoked, or credentials reset.
- Secure the email account first when it could reset other passwords; then protect phone, financial, and social accounts.
- Change reused passwords from a trusted device and enable multi-factor authentication where available.
- Preserve alerts, transaction IDs, emails, phone numbers, usernames, dates, and screenshots without editing originals.
- Review account recovery addresses, trusted devices, forwarding rules, and recent sign-in history.
- Use the official identity-theft or credit-reporting process for your country; do not pay an unsolicited recovery service.
- Record every call, case number, representative, promised action, and follow-up date in one recovery file.
- Warn people who may be impersonated or targeted next, without publishing sensitive documents or evidence.
- Expect recovery scams: never pay an upfront fee or share a password or one-time code with someone who contacts you unexpectedly.

A family verification process for urgent calls involving money, danger, or a supposed emergency—even when the voice sounds familiar.
- Choose a private family word or question that is not a birthday, pet name, address, school, or public detail.
- Save trusted phone numbers for relatives, partners, caregivers, schools, workplaces, banks, and travel contacts.
- Agree that nobody sends emergency money based on one call, voicemail, or message alone.
- When an unexpected crisis call arrives, pause and hang up—even if the caller demands that you stay connected.
- Call the person back through a number already stored in your contacts, not the incoming number.
- Contact a second trusted person or institution to confirm the story and the person’s safety.
- Review privacy settings for public voice recordings, videos, travel details, and family routines.
- Practice the plan once and tell children, older relatives, and caregivers that verification is a safety habit—not distrust.
