NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) -- The Carnival Sunshine will spend an extra night in port due to weather.

In an email sent out to travelers set to take the Carnival Sunshine's cruise from February 16 - 23, a cruise line said that the ship will no longer depart on Sunday.

"Strong winds and high waves will make it unsafe to depart as previously scheduled," the email said.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — A warning now for those who may wear their hearts on their sleeves this Valentine’s Day: so-called “romance scams” are surging across the globe and here in America.

In 2022, American lost $547 million to romance scams. That number jumped to more than $1 billion in 2023. Experts say you need to know the warning signs.

We're all looking for love.

"It's looking for that element in your life, and I think that's a beautiful thing," said Alfonso Guzman, regional director for Chase Bank. "I think you still have to stay vigilant."

More Americans are falling for so-called "romance scams." They often begin on dating sites or social media, with victims getting a message from someone they don't know.

"These folks kind of strike out of the blue, may have some kind of compliment, really try to build some semblance of a relationship," Guzman said. "They feign interest, they pretend to be someone they're not, and that's very typical."

They build up a relationship, sharing details about themselves over time. And once the scammer feels they have their victim's trust, "they will ask for money," Guzman said. "There's an urgent ask. It takes time, but then it switches and there's always some kind of financial ask."

And that's when victims willingly send money to a thief.

A woman named Liz fell for the scam not too long ago. A recent widow, she joined an online dating site and met someone claiming to be a "Gregory Heller." They sent Liz heartfelt messages. Then he asked for money to pay back a debt to the Chinese government, he said. Liz bought gift cards, deposited money and wired cash to the scammer — in all, more than $100,000.

"And I never thought of myself as that vulnerable," she said. "I really thought, 'Oh, I'm smarter than this.'"

Experts caution to look for red flags.

"Definitely not meeting in person, face-to-face is a huge red flag," Guzman said. "And they'll usually come up with some excuse as to why or say they don't feel comfortable yet."

And there's always that request for money.

"Something [like], if I don't get the money, I'm going to lose my house or I'm going to lose my car," Guzman said. "Don't you love me? Don't you care about me?"

He said that if you're a victim, you might be embarrassed, but you need to report it. And if you think you might be a victim, "I would say a healthy amount of skepticism is probably a good thing," Guzman said.

Experts caution not to trust names or profile pictures — scammers will steal pictures from other profiles or websites, or have AI-generated pictures. For more on this scam and how to report it, visit https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/scams-and-safety/common-frauds-and-scams/romance-scams.

HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) - February is American Heart Month, and for 21 years, the Hampton Roads Go Red for Women initiative has worked diligently to close the gap in cardiovascular disease awareness.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. According to the American Heart Association, more than 44% of women ages 20 and older are living with some form of cardiovascular disease.

The Go Red for Women Luncheon was held in Hampton at the Hampton Roads Convention Center, on a very appropriate date this year — Valentine's Day. It is one of many events the American Heart Association puts on locally.

This year's luncheon featured CNN primetime Anchor and Chief Legal Analyst Laura Coates as the Keynote Speaker. She spoke with WAVY before the event about why it is important to her.

"It is so important for all of us to prioritize our health, particularly women, to understand the imbalances and the ways we're tugged and pulled in different directions," she said, "but to always prioritize our health, because like so many of us now, you have to put on your own mask before helping others. And so many of us take that for granted."

During her speech at the Convention Center, she shared the idea of giving ourselves grace and also figuring which balls to drop and which ones can bounce back.

"That's the most important guidepost for so many people," Coates said. "We're going to be inundated with stress factors all across this world, but we have to really lead our own charge, be our own champions, and wear our own jerseys."

WAVY News 10 Anchors Katie Collett and Aesia Toliver were invited to emcee the event.

There were hundreds of guests in attendance, who donated generously during a live fundraiser.

The luncheon also featured a fashion show, with models who have survived cardiovascular and stroke-related events.

"Thank you for the organization and allowing this to come together, because I think so many people are focused on the politics of life as opposed to the people of the United States and who we are together," Coates said. "And I think this is a unifying experience. They were all joining in together today with a common mission of heart health being the most important thing."
