The headline read: "An internet conman took my money and left me with a baby - don't let him do it again."

They apparently met in a chat room and he said he was a successful accountant.

Having promised he would pay her hotel expenses she visited him in Florida.

But surprise, surprise, just two days before she arrived in the US, his wallet was stolen and she ended up paying for everything.

He proposed and they got married in England. She paid for the wedding and he left her shortly before their baby was born.

People in search of "love" can be blinded by charm, as this woman was.

Whether it's the internet or a personal ad, you are communicating with a stranger, so take precautions and keep safe.
