Fraudsters use every type of dating or social networking site available to contact their victims. Their accounts are created using photos stolen from legitimate... people. Their background stories often mimic the victim’s and they are often in the military, work overseas, or are successful business people. They quickly profess their love to gain their victims’ trust, affection, and money. This type of fraud relies heavily on victim emotions and may last for months, years, or until the victim has nothing left to give. The fraudsters will always run into trouble and are unable to refund their victims; however, they will continue to make empty promises and ask for more money. #FPM2021 #kNOwfraud #showmetheFRAUD #BeScamSmart See more

Lunar New Year 2021 is today, February 12, and it's the Year of the Ox. It's called the Lunar New Year because it marks the first new moon of the lunisolar calendars traditional to many east Asian countries including China and Vietnam, which are regulated by the cycles of the moon and sun. Lunar New Year is also referred to as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival, and is China's most important festival. It is time for families to be together and a week of an official public holiday.
