February brings hearts, connection… and unfortunately, an uptick in online romance scams. In this episode of A+You, Danielle and Amber welcome back their first-ever returning guest: Jacquie Twedt, Director of Operations at Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union.
Jacquie oversees payment operations and fraud monitoring—giving her a front‑row seat to how scammers operate, how they evolve, and how everyday people can protect themselves.
Together, the team breaks down:
- Why romance scams spike this time of year
- Common red flags—from moving too fast emotionally to asking for secrecy
- How scammers use emotional connection to manipulate victims
- Real examples of the tactics fraud networks use (including money‑mule schemes)
- Why anyone can fall victim, regardless of age, education, or experience
- How to protect yourself and your loved ones online
- How Affinity Plus monitors accounts and supports victims without judgment
This is an empowering, judgment‑free conversation designed to help you stay safe while still embracing genuine online connection.
