Dating someone from another country can feel like an exciting adventure. New cultures. New stories. Maybe even a new love. But it can also open the door wide for online dating scams. Especially on platforms like Bumble and Tinder. Wymoo is here to help you protect your heart—and your future—by offering dating background check investigations before you get too invested.
The Scam Problem at a Glance
Scammers are everywhere. Fake profiles and scams are one of the top concerns people have when dating online. Some of these dating platforms like Bumble have AI features that can help detect spam accounts, however, there is great limitation when the scammers are real people with real skills and experience in manipulating other human beings.
Moreover, romance scams cost people serious money. For those over 40 dating internationally, risks rise. Scammers often pose as someone from another country or claim they are abroad. In most cases, they play the sympathy card: emergencies, financial trouble, fake travel delays. But the requests do not come overnight, and their stories have been so well written that they seem plausible and logic for anyone who has been manipulated for a long time.
How Wymoo Helps You Vet Before You Regret
Wymoo offers an international background check service built for people exactly like you—looking for real connection, wanting real safety.
What Wymoo does:
- Identity verification. We confirm that the person is who they say they are by verifying official government, public and media records.
- Country & history checks. Living abroad? Maybe. But is their story checking out? In these cases it is important to dig into public information and verify employment and education information across borders to see if their claims are true and if there are red flags.
- Criminal & safety checks. Criminal records and legal issues are a core part of the investigation.
- Alerting to patterns. Many romance scammers show the same signs: insisting on private messaging, pushing for money, avoiding in-person or video calls. Wymoo private investigators make sure to spotlight these kinds of warning signs.
All of this before you decide to send money, travel, or commit emotionally.
Real Risks, Real Benefits
Think about this: you match with someone who seems perfect. They are overseas. They say they adore you already. Then one night, they say their bank was frozen. They need $1,500. Overnight. They promise to repay.
Without vetting, you risk not just money—but your peace of mind and heart.
With Wymoo, you can slow down. Ask questions. Demand transparency. See verification. Recognize the stories that don’t add up.
Practical Tips: How to Stay Safe
- Always hire a dating background check before meeting in person or sending money.
- Ask for video chat early. If they avoid it, it’s a red flag.
- Compare their social media. Do photos look consistent? Same friends? Same backgrounds?
- Be wary of dramatic stories. Missing luggage. Dead phones. Emergency medical crises.
- Use the report from Wymoo to make decisions based on facts, not hope.
Dating someone abroad can bring joy. But don’t let scammers hijack that joy. Contact us for an investigation quote if you have met someone online and you want to make sure you’re safe!
