fake online dating stories

There was a case where a guy pretended to be a wealthy entrepreneur on an online dating site. He promised all sorts of luxurious dates and gifts to the girl he was chatting with.

Sometimes, conversations stay on a very superficial level and it's hard to dig deeper. Also, there can be safety concerns. You never really know who you're talking to at first.
