The Federal Trade Commission is celebrating Valentine's Day by reminding people to not get scammed when looking for love. The agency received more than 21,000 reports about romance scams in 2018 with total reported losses of $143 million. Of those who said they lost money in a romance scam, the median amount lost was $2,600 -- seven times more than the median loss for other types of frauds tracked by the FTC. Romance scammers often use online dating sites and create fake profiles or use a real person's identity, the FTC says. Scammers also cultivate targets on Facebook and social media sites not specifically designed for dating.
