Do not treat urgency as proof
The concern is not one unusual fact but a combination of pressure, secrecy and demands to act without checking. Do not install software at a new acquaintance's request or grant access to your device. If you have already sent a payment or exposed access, use your bank's or service's official channels for next steps. Do not make further transfers in an attempt to recover money already sent. These signs can help identify risk but do not replace an investigation of a particular case.
FTC advice on romance scams
- Stop the action you are being urged to take.
- Check the service's address and contact it independently.
- Keep the necessary details of the suspicious request and use the service's reporting option.
A place to start
Choose a relevant example and adapt it to your situation. Do not assume someone has interests they have not mentioned.
I don't send money to people I've recently met. I won't discuss an urgent transfer.
If this concerns a service, I'll contact its support through the official website.
Prepare your own version
Do not treat urgency as proof: Choose one step and write down how you would like to suggest it.

What else is useful to know
Is refusing to meet proof of fraud?
A refusal alone proves nothing. Assess specific demands and behaviour rather than making accusations just because a meeting was postponed.

No. Interest, replies and willingness to meet depend on the other person. The examples on this page help you start a conversation but do not promise an outcome.
