Download Graphics to View Scammers know how hard it is to say no to people you love, and they take advantage of that fact to trick people into giving them money.

Here's how it works: The scammer uses a fake identity to pose as an online love interest, a practice known as catfishing. The "relationship" progresses, and at some point the scammer manufactures an "emergency" such as a medical expense and asks for money to help pay for it. Or, if you request to meet, the scammer asks for money to cover travel expenses.

The New York Times reports this phenomenon cost Americans $143 billion in 2018 — a number significantly higher than the $50 million reported just three years prior — and people between the ages of 40 and 69 experience these scams at the highest rate. The interactions often happen on dating sites such as Match, Tinder, and OkCupid, but can also occur on Facebook, other social media sites, and in online games.

Dating sites are starting to use algorithms that detect catfishers. In the meantime, here's how to protect your heart — and your wallet:
  • Take concerns of family and friends seriously.

  • Never send money, gift cards, or other forms of payment to someone you haven't met in person.

  • Never send anything upon initial request. Ask questions about the nature of the person's "emergency" and look for inconsistent answers.

  • Before getting too serious with a potential romantic partner, check out their contact information to make sure it corresponds with a real person.

  • You can also use a reverse image search of photos to confirm that the photo shows up attached to the same name elsewhere online.
Stay safe and don't let scammers ruin your chances for a real romance to bloom this spring.

Short Tutorial/FAQ

Question: I want to know more about my own home Internet hardware that was installed by SRT. My first question is, what’s the difference between a modem, an ONT, an access point, a switch and a router?

Download Graphics to View Answer: That’s a good question, considering these elements are all vital to your internet connection, and if they are separate pieces of hardware, they may look similar and have similar jacks and flashing lights. In many cases, SRT provides a device that incorporates all of these elements in one integrated unit, so it’s helpful to know the role each one plays. Even if they all “live” in the same unit.

A modem connects to a phone line that sends and receives information and changes it to something your devices will understand. An ONT connects to a fiber optic line that – like a modem – sends and receives information and changes it to something your devices will understand. Without a modem or ONT, you would not have a connection to SRT or the Internet.

A router works hand-in-hand with a switch and or access point to connect all of your devices to your modem or ONT and allows your devices to share the connection and possibly interact with each other. A switch provides the wired connections (Ethernet) that your devices need to plug into to share the connection. An access point provides the wireless connections (WiFi) that your wireless devices need to connect and share the Internet connection to your home. Without a router, switch or access point, you could not have multiple devices connected to the modem or ONT.
