The National Police Agency has found that there has been a sharp increase in the number of victims of "romance scams," which trick people into falling in love and then defrauding them of their money, with the total amount of damage last year reaching 39.7 billion yen, more than double the previous year. In particular, there have been many cases of scammers abusing "matching apps," which are becoming increasingly popular as a way to meet potential spouses, to make contact.
