Valentine’s Day is tomorrow and if you’re looking for love online, police have some advice.

The scammer quickly professes their love, takes the chat private through other apps or cell phones, asks for a small gift to prove the target is viable and then asks for inappropriate pictures to blackmail the victim in the future.
If you think you’re a victim, you need to file a complaint with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre — click here for more.
