Internet Dating Scams Can Get Expensive.

Like so many others who go looking for love on Internet dating sites, Annette was lonely.

John was everything a lonely woman could want. He was attentive, sent lots of text messages and e-cards and even called Annette's cell phone. He even said he was a millionaire.

    • “I believe the almighty God will see both of us through,” he wrote.
      He just needed $1,300 to get him and his daughter by for a week. Annette didn't think twice about helping the man of her dreams.

      Everything was fine until John said the customs agents at the airport in Nigeria confiscated his luggage for a week containing his $45,000 in travelers' checks, he told Annette.

      ConsumerAffairs.com has received at least 20 complaints from consumers who fell or nearly fell for scammers they met on online dating sites.
