What is a friendship scam?
A friendship scam, also known as a friendship fraud or friend scam, is a type of online scam where an individual befriends someone with the intention of exploiting their trust and emotions for financial gain. Unlike traditional romance scams, where the scammer typically poses as a potential romantic partner, friendship scams involve forming a close and trusting friendship with the victim. These scams can occur through various online channels, such as social media platforms, online gaming communities, or even in person.
