Man sends fake online girlfriend RM610,208
A 48-year-old man in suburban Chicago in the US, never met his online girlfriend, but he didn't mind sending her cash - US$200,000 (RM610,208) - over about two years.
The man told police he started the online courtship about 2.5 years ago. His name hasn't been released.
Since the relationship began, he's wired about $200,000 to her at bank accounts in Nigeria, Malaysia, England and the United States.
The Naperville Sun reports that the man had an ID from the woman that was a sample driver's license from Florida.
The jig was up this week when the man contacted police to ask for their help in rescuing the woman, who he said had been kidnapped in London.
Police say the man "was in disbelief" when an officer told him his girlfriend didn't exist
