A LaPorte woman fell victim to an internet scam and lost nearly $2,000 in the process.
The victim told LaPorte police that she met a man on the “Zoosk” dating website who identified himself as “John Douglas Frank.” In early July, the suspect advised the victim he was moving to South Africa for a job and asked the victim for money to send his friend and she would be reimbursed. The victim sent two Paypal cards and three Western Union money orders totaling $1,985 to a “Darren Foster” in Florida.
