What dating app match who introduces a trading platform looks like on WhatsApp

• A link that pretends to be a wa.me, courier or bank page.
• A message from an unknown number, often with a stock photo of a smiling person.
• A friend or relative asking for urgent money from a new number or a hacked account.

The set-up is an attractive profile with a confident life story and photos taken from elsewhere. The scammer matches with many people, starts conversation and keeps up daily messages. He avoids meeting by claiming a busy job or a trip. Shared jokes, voice notes and good-morning messages make the bond feel real. He then casually mentions success in trading and hints that he wants a future with someone who also builds wealth.

Red flags to check on the WhatsApp message

• A new match brings up investing within days or weeks.
• You are sent a link to an app not found in regular stores or on an unknown site.
• A small early profit can be withdrawn, but larger ones are blocked.
• The match avoids meeting or a spontaneous video call.
• Someone asks for the six-digit code WhatsApp sent you by SMS.
• A new number says it is someone you know and asks for money; call the real person on the old number first.

1. Stop all deposits and do not pay any withdrawal fee.
2. Ask for a live video call and a public meeting; scammers avoid both.
3. Do not install an app from a link shared in chat.
