Hello folks, welcome to the security box. This is program 179. This time, we'll venture off the path a bit and talk a little bit about romance scams. Instead of using the article as a guide, we'll talk about it in more general terms. Did you know that Valentines Day is one of the biggest times for this type of scam? Besides that, we'll have news, notes and the landscape as we always do. Thanks for listening and make it a great day!
