Metropolitan_Police_logo.pngRomance Fraud Awareness Video Campaign Launch - 3.10.25

The Metropolitan Police, in collaboration with West Midlands Regional Organised Crime Unit
and the City of London Police, are launching a national awareness campaign to
tackle romance fraud; a crime where victims are deceived into fake relationships and socially
engineered to hand over money or personal information.

Our new video series features victim accounts and crime prevention advice on identifying the
signs of fraud before it causes emotional and financial harm.

Campaign launch date: 3 rd October 2025
Main campaign hashtag: #RomanceFraud
Key message: Anyone can be a target of romance fraud
