Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney Engaged

Lady Gaga posted a picture to Instagram with the caption, "He gave me his heart on Valentine's Day, and I said YES!" The ring is shaped like a heart.

Just before Taylor Kinney popped the question, Gaga posted a picture of her new black bob, looking regal with the caption, "ready for my Valentine." How right she was!

Gaga and the "Chicago Fire" actor, 33, have been dating since they collaborated together in 2011 for her video "You and I."

In December, Gaga told Howard Stern that she knew "Kinney is the right guy."

"I have that feeling with him," she said during an interview for Stern's Sirius XM radio show. "I just know it."

Gaga, whose real name is Stephanie Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, added that while she was stressed on tour, she knew he was the one.

"He was the best. He used to sweep me off my feet, throw me on the back of his motorcycle, take me to the beach, no security," she gushed. "My team would be screaming at me, yelling at my phone all day, and he'd throw it in the back of his beach shack."

As for what kind of wedding she'll have, she also told Stern, "You don't know me very well if you think I'm gonna have a big wedding. If I get married I'm gonna be like hanging out of a pickup truck in a David's Bridal gown while my stylist is screaming at me, trying to put a blonde wig on my head!"

FBI WARNS OF FICTITIOUS 'WORK-FROM-HOME' SCAM

FBI WARNS OF FICTITIOUS 'WORK-FROM-HOME' SCAM TARGETING UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

College students across the United States have been targeted to participate in work-from-home scams. Students have been receiving e-mails to their school accounts recruiting them for payroll and/or human resource positions with fictitious companies. The “position” simply requires the student to provide his/her bank account number to receive a deposit and then transfer a portion of the funds to another bank account. Unbeknownst to the student, the other account is involved in the scam that the student has now helped perpetrate. The funds the student receives and is directed elsewhere have been stolen by cyber criminals. Participating in the scam is a crime and could lead to the student’s bank account being closed due to fraudulent activity or federal charges.

Here’s how the scam works:

• The student is asked to provide his/her bank account credentials under the guise of setting up direct deposit for his/her pay.
• The scammers will add the student’s bank account to a victim employee’s direct deposit information to redirect the victim’s payroll deposit to the student’s account.
• The student will receive the payroll deposit from the victim’s employer in the victim’s name.
• The student will be directed to withdraw funds from the account and send a portion of the deposit, via wire transfer, to other individuals involved in the scam.

Consequences of Participating in the Scam:

• The student’s bank account will be identified by law enforcement as being involved in the fraud.
• The victim employee has his/her pay stolen by the scammers utilizing the student’s bank account.
• Without the student’s participation, the scam could not be perpetrated, so he/she facilitated the theft of the paycheck.
• The student could be arrested and prosecuted in federal court. A criminal record will stay with the student for the rest of his/her life and will have to be divulged on future job applications, which could prevent the student from being hired.
• The student’s bank account may be closed due to fraudulent activity and a report could be filed by the bank.
• This could adversely affect the student’s credit record.

Tips on how to Protect Yourself from this Scam:

• If a job offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
• Never accept a job that requires the depositing of funds into your account and wiring them to different accounts.
• Look for poor use of the English language in e-mails such as incorrect grammar, capitalization, and tenses. Many of the scammers who send these messages are not native English speakers.
• Never provide credentials of any kind such as bank account information, login names, passwords, or any other identifying information in response to a recruitment e-mail.
• Forward these e-mails to the university’s IT personnel and tell your friends to be on the lookout for the scam.
• This could adversely affect the student’s credit record.
