Police say John Martin Hill met a woman through Match.com, and within a week agreed to marry her. Authorities say Hill has pulled similar scams in four other states.

Police in Georgia are looking for a man they say met a woman through an online dating site, agreed to marry her within a week, scammed her out of $80,000, and then left town and cut off all contact with her.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a woman from Alpharetta told police she met Hill through the dating site Match.com on March 27, and that the couple met each other the same day they first exchanged messages. Investigators later discovered that Hill lived with another woman and a child in a Duluth apartment, and that he had gone by various names — changing it five times in less than three years — while allegedly pulling similar trickery in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia.

The Federal Trade Commission offers tips on its website on how to identify online dating scams in advance. They include someone wanting to leave the dating website and chat through personal email, messenger or phone. It also includes someone professing their love so quickly, or things like claiming to be from the United States but traveling overseas at the moment, or telling them they planned to visit but either a business deal had gone sour or they quickly had some sort of traumatic event.

It isn’t enforced consistently or fairly. We still need laws & consequences for bad behavior. Our president must be subject 2the rule of law. All that bad behavior.
