More Dangers Of Internet Dating

from the you-could-get-mugged dept

It seems a gang in Japan used an internet dating site, and promises of sex with teenaged girls, to lure a guy who they then beat and robbed instead. I really don't quite understand the point of using an internet dating service to find the victim in this case. If they're going to beat and rob someone, why do it in a way that is traceable, and why bother setting up the whole dating facade in the first place anyway? However, the quote from the guy at the end of the article is priceless: "I'm never going to use a dating site again."
