Usualy dating scam associates with russian dating industry and russian women who asks money for flight, health related issues and other reasons. But don't be too much relaxed when using international dating sites too. Few days ago some newspapers reported about scam accident on MillionaireMatch.com dating website. A homeless man posing as a millionaire was arrested for scamming 13 women for more than $100,000.

Through the website MillionaireMatch.com, Paul Kruger, 50, met and convinced eight women that he was a Grammy-nominated music mogul who had worked with Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones, amongst others. He met the other five alleged victims through one of the women he met on the website.

Later he said needed money for a CD and DVD manufacturing investment of $102,000 in dollars. And the most funny part that women sent those money to him. Just try to imagine this to understand what he said to women if they decided to send such big sum.

The website, which describes itself as the "number one dating site for succesful singles and admirers", is free and unregulated and anyone can join and claim to be a millionaire, simply by saying that they win $150,000 or more annually. Steve Kasper, the marketing vice president of Successfulmatch.com, the parent company of MillionaireMatch.com, both bases in Toronto, said it was up to users to self-police.

"We do tell all of our members on all of our sites that you have to take precautions when you're on the Internet and looking at people that you're going to meet," he said.

Charges were filed in Souderton, Pennsylvania, because that is where he told women to send him money; it is also the address of the home of his ex-wife, authorities said.

The money was used to fuel his gambling addiction, since he had various VIP casino accounts, authorities said.

Mr Krueger declined to comment to reporters as he was arraigned on charges of theft by unlawful taking or disposition, theft by deception, deceptive or fraudulent business practices and Pennsylvania Securities Act violations.

"You have to be careful whereever you go," said the woman, who is in her 30s. "You could get scammed meeting someone at a bar. It doesn't matter. You just have to do your due diligence, and I didn't."
