Would-be Romeo spends hundreds on half page singles ad in Epsom Guardian

8:00am Thursday 15th September 2011

A 31-year-old man is so desperate to find love that he spent hundreds of pounds taking out a half page advertisment in the Epsom Guardian.

The successful businessman from Epsom, who insists on remaining anonymous, placed the ad on page 7 of the August 26 edition of the paper, hoping to attract suitable local ladies.

The man, who owns a number of restaurants in London, said he had tried online dating for more than a year without success and got the idea after seeing a large ad in an American newspaper which had attracted a lot of responses.

The would-be Romeo, who wore a mask during the photo shoot to conceal his identity, describes himself as 5 foot 8, medium build with dark hair and definitely not a minger - a fact confirmed by our photographer.

He said: I have done the whole internet dating thing and its a complete nightmare.

Its so difficult to meet people locally.

I saw an advert in New York while I was there and it inspired me.

With my work I travel a lot and I think thats why my dating life has been terrible.

I went on this date a year ago and we went out and it went great and I got a text the next day saying there was no chemistry.

I just dont understand dating.

Asked about shelling out so much money to place a lonely hearts advert our mystery man said: Its all relative.

I have been with Berkley International, the Rolls Royce of dating, and they charge up to 20,000 in membership fees and it was a waste of time."

Only a handful of women have come forward since the ad was placed, but he is still hopeful of finding love. He added: The reason I did it was to meet someone local.

Im 31 and I think about settling down, getting married and having kids.

It wasnt for a laugh or anything.

Online romance scam dupes thousands - New Kerala

London, Sep 28 : Hundreds of thousands of people in Britain may have been hit or duped by online romance scams, far more than previous estimates. The study undertaken by Monica Whitty and Tom Buchanan, psychologists at the Universities of Leicester and Westminster, is probably the first formal academic analysis of the pervasive scam. Criminals often set up fake identities on dating and social networking sites, using stolen photographs (of models or army officers) and pretend to develop a romantic relationship with their victim. Such scamsters have persuaded many to part with large sums of money before their suspicions are aroused, often on emotive or humanitarian grounds, according to a Leicester statement. Even when victims cannot, or will not, send money, scammers involve them in laundering money by asking them to accept money into their bank accounts. Researchers surveyed over 2,000 people through an online YouGov survey and estimated from the results that over 200,000 British citiz...
