One fifth of online dating profiles are completely fabricated, a survey has found.
A poll of 2,000 people found that 18% admitted to lying about their age, 28% exaggerated their financial status, while 10% admitted to faking where they lived.
Online dating websites say they are taking all steps possible to try to stop scammers and fraudsters from misusing their services.
However, many people have already fallen prey to those online who are not quite what they seem.
Mary Turner was left with £198,000 of debt Mary Turner met her husband William online, and had two children with him.
It later emerged that he was a bigamist, who had fathered 13 children with six different women.
Ms Turner was left £198,000 in debt, and decided to write a book about her experiences.
She said: "He actually had 13 children by six different women that we found since.
"He ripped me off for £198,000, and took me for everything I owned."
Dominic Blackburn, spokesman for 192.com which carried out the survey, said: "It's very easy to present yourself in a very different way on online dating sites and social networking sites - it's far easier to do it on that than on a face to face basis."
