Probe of online dating €4k ‘fraud’

GARDAÍ in Co Clare are investigating the embezzlement of thousands of euro from women who used an online dating website.

A man in his 30s has been questioned by gardaí in Ennis after two separate complaints were made by two women in the county.

Both complainants claimed that they became acquainted with a man via an online website. It is alleged that the man later sought thousands of euro from each of the women.
