"A lonely Kiwi widower who was scammed out of $1 million by an Australian online dating service is living a retirement in virtual poverty.
Retired Taranaki Regional Council finance manager Alan Young had just lost his wife of 29 years to cancer when he answered an advertisement in a Taranaki newspaper for introductions service True Love Corps.
It cost Young his $500,000 house and life savings after he fell for a con artist he thought was his fiancee.
He now lives a "limited" life on a modest pension in a small town on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. He retired with no savings." |

Sad story, these really weigh on me. That's what keeps us doing what we do. |
