Scammed by Love? Here’s how blockchain is helping making dating better

Dating scams have hit hundreds of millions of people around the world, and chances are someone you know has been targeted and paid the price. Reports from various official institutions indicate that online dating scammers have conned the average person out of ± US$ 14 000.

It seems odd that we’re still getting scammed in this day and age.

There are multiple warnings that should put us on high alert but for some reason, we keep falling into these endless traps. The team behind Viola.AI believe that we’re willing to go through tough situations in order to find our partners, and that one shouldn’t be taken advantage of by unscrupulous websites or greedy con artists.

The word con man/woman actually stems from confidence man/woman. That air of reassurance that sets you at ease, the sympathetic manner in which they relate to issues in your own life, the very fact that they’re seeking out their “soulmate” all lends to a fabricated character with a single aim: to steal as much as they can, as fast as they can.

An article published in the South China Morning Post last year spoke about a chinese divorcee who was conned out of a 1.5M yuan by her best friend, Ma Ping, posing as the divorcee’s online love interest. After striking up a friendship with the victim in 2014, the scammer introduced the victim to her male friend who owned a hardware factory.

Over the course of 3 years, the victim and her friend had an online relationship over the phone and WeChat. The victim’s parents became suspicious and turned to the police for help, where it was found the boyfriend did not exist at all, and Ma Ping was behind the scam.

Viola.AI was created to prevent situations like this.
