To Catch a Thief Link

Read pages 4, 5 and 6. Your description fits the profile. Call Dateline NBC and see if they're investigation is ongoing.

If this is legit, your friend found a gold nugget in the slag pile of the Internet.



I'd agree with everything except that last part. I've worked with some fine looking women who've used internet dating services to find guys. And they weren't mentally deranged girls either.

It doesn't matter if it's on the internet or the local strip club, all horny, desperate, lonely guys will always be a target for scams.
