Alexander Stevens: Emotionally, the most tragic is certainly the case of the mother and the son, without knowing from each other - with each other Sex in the same Dark-Room of a Swingers club and then from your own husband or father in the act were caught... The most bizarre is the case of Nigeria, however, is-African exchange students to log in due to lack of sufficient knowledge of the language on a supposed Dating site for "Black Men"; as the Bavarian constitutional protection to the students is attentive, it turns out, the active used Dating site "hazelnut-romance - humor, Black-and-Brown" one of the neo-Nazis used a Dating App. The Absurd: On the page he had actually found numerous women, with the Nigerian exchange students had held an hour's a little shepherd....

Online Dating has been booming for many years. Since when did you do as a lawyer is increasingly so, because scammers and worse criminals the anonymity of the Internet to take advantage?
