Online dating scams are now extremely common. And you'd have to pretty naive to fall for one, since they are usually so obvious. I'd imagine that scammers tend to have a lot less success these days since people are much more aware of them than they used to be.
However, some scammers are much more thoughtful and dedicated. Take Justin Brown, a 24 year old in Texas, who set up an elaborate ruse in which he posed as a famous model online, and even impersonated her in telephone conversations! Using these techniques over a two year period he managed to trick numerous very rich and successful men into sending money and gifts to him.
Sounds like he had a real talent. Pity he used it in this way. He might have had a lucrative career as an actor or voice over artist!
