🚩 Common First Contact Messages From Romance Scammers

The Flattery Approach

* “Hello beautiful.”

* “Hi handsome.”

* “Your smile caught my eye.”

* “You seem like a kind person.”

* “I couldn’t help noticing your profile.”

* “You have such beautiful eyes.”

The Casual Conversation Starter

* “Hi, how are you today?”

* “How was your day?”

* “Hope you’re having a wonderful day.”

* “Can we be friends?”

* “I would love to get to know you.”

The Profile Comment

* “I loved your post.”

* “Your profile stood out to me.”

* “You seem different from everyone else.”

* “You look like someone I could trust.”

* “We seem to have a lot in common.”

The ‘Wrong Number’ Scam Opener

* “Hi Susan, are we still meeting today?”

* “Is this Jennifer?”

* “Sorry, I think I saved the wrong number.”

* “Oops, wrong person. But you seem nice!” 

The Fast-Track Romance Opener

* “I’ve been looking for someone like you.”

* “I feel we have a special connection.”

* “I believe everything happens for a reason.”

* “I think fate brought us together.” 

⚠️ What These Messages Have In Common

* They are usually generic and reusable.

* They often contain quick compliments.

* They rarely mention anything specific about your profile.

* Their purpose is not romance—it is to identify people willing to respond.

* Once you reply, many scammers try to move the conversation to WhatsApp, Telegram, Google Chat, or another private messaging platform. 

🛡️ SHU Takeaway

The first message is rarely the scam. The scam begins after you reply.

Scammers cast a wide net with simple greetings and compliments. Their goal is to start a conversation, build trust, create emotional attachment, and eventually ask for money, gifts, cryptocurrency, or personal information. 

STOP • THINK • VERIFY

A friendly message from a stranger is not proof of a scam—but it is a reason to slow down, verify who you’re talking to, and stay alert. 🛡️❤️
