On 'online love' scam, NBI Cybercrime Division chief Lorenzo says scammers make their victims believe they have fallen in love with them, convince them they want to settle down and then ask for money

NBI Cybercrime Division chief Lorenzo: Madami nang na-file-an ng kaso diyan; madami na ring na-entrap
NBI Cybercrime Division chief Lorenzo says 'online love' scammers are able to get large sums of money from their victims
NBI Cybercrime Division chief Lorenzo says victims of online love scams should coordinate with the NBI to investigate and file a formal complaint
NBI Cybercrime Division chief Lorenzo says the first hurdle to overcome is to convince the victim of the love scam. This is followed by the recovery of the money, and then identification of those behind the scam before they are prosecuted
NBI Cybercrime Division chief Lorenzo says to "leverage on the power of the internet" when people feel they are victimized by love scammers
He says to do research on photos used, check if these have been downloaded from someone else's profile
NBI Cybercrime Division chief Lorenzo: Kapag nanghingi ng pera, hindi na totoo. Hindi na pagmamahal yun, scam na agad yun
Lorenzo: Nakikita namin, ang love scam na-formulate ng mga Nigerian scammer. Tapos natutunan na rin siguro ng mga Filipino scammer, ayun na...may Filipino na rin na nagcoconduct ng mga love scam
Lorenzo says digital vote-buying is a challenge: Tinitignan kung may sudden transfer or may specific geographical area
