Internet Dating Scams 14 Feb 2008
Internet dating
Is your internet date who they say they are?

Internet dating is hugely popular, but how can you be sure that your “date” is who they say they are? There is now evidence that individuals are posing online with false identities. Having established a relationship, they ask for money to “rescue” them from an “emergency”. So what are the warning signs and how can you avoid being scammed? Jenni hears from Jane, who found herself targeted, and from Detective Superintendent Oliver Shaw.
