What is a Romance Scam scam?

A stranger builds a personal or romantic relationship over weeks or months, then invents an emergency, travel cost, or investment "opportunity" that requires you to send money.

Red flags for this pattern

  • The relationship escalates to declarations of love within days of first contact.
  • They always have a reason they cannot video call or meet in person.
  • Photos are professional-looking or reverse-image-search to someone else entirely.
  • Money, gift cards, or crypto come up before you have ever met in person.

What to do

Ask for an unscripted video call early, and be skeptical of every reason it keeps getting postponed. Reverse-image-search their photos. Treat any request for money, gift cards, or crypto as a hard stop, no matter how the relationship feels at that point.

How common this is, officially

IC3's "Confidence/Romance" category received 23,159 complaints in 2025, with reported losses of $929 million.

Frequently asked questions

Is +2349029893573 confirmed to be a scammer?

No. Every report on this case file is self-submitted by the person who filed it and has not been independently verified. Treat it as a community record, not a verdict -- and note that an unlisted number is not proof it is trustworthy either.

What should I do if +2349029893573 contacts me?

Don't send money, verification codes, or personal information based on this conversation alone. Verify the person's identity through a separate channel before trusting what they're asking for, and file your own report here if they attempt to scam you.

I already replied to +2349029893573 — what should I do now?

Stop engaging, and don't send money, codes, or documents no matter how the story escalates. Block and report the number inside WhatsApp. If you already sent money, contact your bank or payment provider's fraud line immediately -- the first day or two matter most -- and never pay a "recovery agent" who promises to get it back.

What can a scammer do with just my phone number?

On its own, not much -- but expect phishing attempts, impersonation of you to your contacts, and tricks to capture your WhatsApp verification code. Never share that 6-digit code with anyone, and turn on two-step verification in WhatsApp settings.

How can I add more information to this case file?

File a new report with the same number from the Report a Scammer page. Every report stays on file, so newer details appear alongside earlier ones rather than overwriting them.

Why does this page show related and recently reported numbers?

They come from the live case file, not a fixed list. The same scam type or country calling code often points to the same person or crew working through multiple numbers, so nearby reports can help you spot the pattern.

Report this to official agencies

This case file is a self-reported community record, not an official investigation. If you were targeted, consider also filing a report with a national or international fraud authority:
