Closed petition Stop Romance Scams
Closed on
Make all dating websites accountable for their clientele, make sure all users are subject to identity and DBS checks to prove they are who they claim to be, so that people are less likely to scam vulnerable people for money.
Dating scams have been rife for many years and the companies don’t seem to hold any accountability. It’s too easy to steal a profile picture or a persons life and hundreds of people have lost houses livelihoods and lives because of this. It must stop!
