A Philadelphia NBC station has a video news story about a homeless man stealing more than $100,000 from thirteen woman. Seven of the woman he met on the dating service MillionaireMatch.com The accused told the victims he was a record producer who had been nominated for several Grammy Awards and that he needed investors for a new music company. He was arrested in Atlantic City where it is reported he gambled most of the money away.
It never ceases to amaze me on how some people get conned. If someone asks you for a large sum of money you just met online (or anywhere else for the matter), don't send them a dime! Block them immediately on the dating service and report them to customer service.
A Australian News Site wrote this in an article about this story:
NEWS.com.au was able to sign up to MillionaireMatch as a $US5 million-per-annum mogul without any income verification.
While this is true you can sign up to MillionaireMatch.com without any income verification, income and photo verification is available to all members for free. Members need to send to MillionaireMatch.com the appropriate documents for the verification to take place and once verified, these members are identified by a graphic icon.
