Online dating led to extortion, police allege

BURLINGTON, Ont. - Police say a number of men looking for love on the Internet found extortion instead.

Halton regional police allege a man joined a number of adult dating service websites posing as a woman and prospective date for male subscribers.

Police say the interested men were then persuaded to provide personal information about themselves.

Police say the information provided by the unsuspecting victims in emails, chats, texts and voice mail messages then formed the basis for extortion.

Police say there were threats to publish the information on social networking sites or send it directly to family, friends, or employers unless monetary demands were met.

Kevin Fletcher, 43, of Burlington, Ont., faces eight counts of extortion and one of criminal harassment.

Help us keep scammers stupid Post his details here to warn others, then walk away without explanation. Confrontation alerts scammers & makes them change their identities...which makes all your hard work outdated. It messes with their minds if they don't know why you walked away.

I think I just chatted with her. She's in Lagos for the dedication of a new orphanage, and her purse, with all her money and passport was stolen. :( Sadly, she couldn't find a cam......
