Every year, millions of pounds are stolen from unsuspecting victims all over the world – and online dating apps, such as Tinder, have now become traps as well.

With people losing an average of around £11,000, such crimes are on the rise, ruining victims’ lives – and no one knows it better than this woman.
Appearing on the BBC1 programme, For Love or Money, she told how she lost an overall of £25k – and her home.
”I met Kiran through a dating site,” revealed Kuldip, who believed she had been scammed not once but twice.
After communicating via email, the two swapped with phone numbers, and at first, things were off to a promising start.
”Kiran’s profile sounded really good and it said ”no lies” and ”honesty”, and he looked genuine from his photo.”
But then, things took a turn, and the would-be Romeo began asking for money – this, Kuldip recalled, happened around ten to 15 times in total.
”I just got into such a mess. I just went downhill.”
The second time the Kuldip was targeted, she ”didn’t see it coming” – ”even though it was in front of me”.
”I should’ve seen it, but maybe because I was still vulnerable, I was still blinded by everything.”
