Elderly Amish Man Caught on Film With Prostitute, Blackmailed
When a 75-year-old Amish widower slept with a prostitute, he -- we feel certain -- felt pretty bad about it the next morning. As if that guilt weren't enough for the old man, the prostitute and her boyfriend demanded $67,000 from him, claiming that they had filmed the scene with wall-mounted cameras and would upload the recording to the Internet. The pair was later arrested and, we can only imagine, the Amish man abhorred technology more than ever.
Bank Robber Gets Away With the Help of Craiglist
In October, a bank robber -- wearing a safety vest, blue shirt, face mask and goggles -- eluded police with the help of Craiglist. Just outside the bank, while the robbery was in progress, stood a group of men who were responding to a Craiglist day labor opportunity. As the advertisement required, they were all wearing safety vests, blue shirts, face masks and goggles.
Nude New Zealander Arrested After Responding to Fake Sexy Text Message
Late in 2007, a Wellington, New Zealand man received a racy text message from two anonymous "ladies," giving him only an address and a request that he show up naked. Well, he indeed showed up naked... at the home of one appalled, unsuspecting New Zealander. Both the nude Romeo and the sadistic texter were arrested, though neither were prosecuted.
Fake Craiglist Ad Costs Man Most of What He Owns
Last Spring, a post appeared on an Oregon Craigslist board stating that the owner of a specific house was leaving all of his worldly possessions (still in said house) to whoever wanted them. When homeowner Robert Salisbury rushed home -- on a tip from a woman suspicious about the offer of a free horse -- he found his house being ransacked by 30 strangers. We suggest he take that horse and collect some vengeance Clint Eastwood-style.
17-Year-Old Jailed for Stealing Virtual 'Furniture'
When a 17-year-old Dutch boy hacked into several accounts on the Second Life-style site 'Habbo' in 2007, the the law got involved. The boy was discovered to have stolen $5,800 worth of virtual furniture and knick-knacks. Apparently, crime -- whether actual or virtual -- does not pay.
Phishers Going After Your Phones in New 'Vishing' Trend
Over the past year, sneaky spammers have begun to forsake the worn-out territory of e-mail in favor of cell phones' fertile frontier. The result? "Vishing." Get it? Voice mail phishing. It might be more ominous if it didn't sound like a James Bond villain saying, "Wishing."
Burglars Break Into Restaurant, Steal HDTV, Leave Money / Food Behind
Around Halloween of last year, a truckload of thieves drove into -- that's right, into -- a Pennsylvania Mexican restaurant, where they -- apparently uninterested in the cash register -- stole a mid-grade 47-inch HDTV and fled the scene. We've all heard about how this generation is lacking in ambition, but this generation's thieves, too?

Only one -third? Tat sounds a little low to me. I have gone on many dates from the internet, and even though I say i am looking for a girlfriend, and not just a one night stand, these women come on like gangbusters. It is more the norm for them to have sex, than not. I would say that the number is somewhere between one half and two-thirds. SOme even plan it ahead, so no actual date is involved. They just come over and it's right to the bedroom..if you make it that far.
ANd many of these women, have husbands and kids at home, and will invite themselves over at any hour. Now, if they would bring a pizza and bread stix, they could put Dominoes out of business. Where else could you get all that for $12.99

Some of my on line conversations have been up to 4 hrs, that is longer than some dates. Chatting on the phone can last hours too. I consider those as a type of date, I read some where that date # 3 is the one where the guy talks the most,SOOO If we have emailed and chatted for hours upon end, you feel like you kind of KNOW them, Have I gotten burned? Yes,I am much wiser now. and still chat and date.............

90% of the women who go online to meet "some body" are losers who have a lot of baggage (ugly kids, a messed up life, drugs, alcohol, low sexual esteem, or All of the Above). What else do they have to offer? If they were desirable women, they wouldn't have time to go online to meet "some body." Men who seek these women out are jerks and/or losers themselves. Look around; there are women and men everywhere. Have some guts and introduce yourself. Remember when we used to call those losers "lonely hearts"?

If a woman has to go online to find a date, she's probobly a skank anyway and guys who go on line to find dates are all child molesters. Just watch Dateline NBC. What ever happened to the days of fun dating? Go to a bar, find some ho and get her drunk off her ass, take her to your car, screw her, kick her out. Go home to your wife.

Guy, what a loser you are. There are intelligent, beautiful people out there who don't want to hang out in a bar, get wasted and screw in the back of a car with a jerk such as yourself. I think that you need to grow up......

I have to disagree with you all. I met the love of my life online and she is def not a skank or whatever. She just is a busy woman that doesn't like going out to smoky bars. We got to know each other pretty well online and from phone calls before we met. We may have wanted to have sex on the first date but we both knew how much we liked each other from the onset so we waited. Now our sex life is amazing as is our relationship. Thank you match.com!

to prinzess..."the 41% who said they haven't are lying"...excuse me? How do you know first of all, second of all, not everybody in the world sleeps with someone on the first date. I haven't...in fact i haven't had sex at all and i'm 21. I'm waiting. People do still wait you know.

I think more interesting than the statistics posted in comments about unprotected sex would be a distribution by age group. I think with the level of education provided the younger people entering the dating arena they might be more vigilant. I opine older people might think protection is for the youthful because we were not plagued with the magnitude and seriousness of the last couple decades of "SUPER" STDs.
Sex is great, an orgasm better, a mental connection the best. How does it make a female feel when her partner shows a little thing like making diner for her or a little hug, flowers delivered? How does it make the male feel when his partner makes his favorite meal and then gives him a hug when he does the dishes. It is a two way street. Withstanding the aforesaid we could easily exchange the typical gender comments above because I enjoy and did an equal amount of the cooking in my time.
Finally, to all the nay sayers about registered online daters, it does open a forum rather than a bar scene that if careful is much safer.

This is definitely on the list of a stupid things women do to hurt themselves.
I am an OB GYN doctor in a nice Florida suburb, and every week I see patients in my office who have contracted genital herpes and HPV/genital warts, both of which there is no cure for. Not to mention chlamydia and gonorrhea which can be treated but can ruin your fertility.

I, being one of the "online daters", and not being a skank or having baggage or a loser, love on-line dating. I have a bigger variety of men to choose from and you can actually start a friendship with someone before you meet them. Although I will admit most men are NOTHING like their profiles or phone calls indicate...it's still fun. Do I have sex on the first r/t date? I don't kiss and tell! ;-)
