"We didn't understand he was a true friend and not one of those scams, and she really believed that she had someone that really loved her."Woman believed victim of online scam found dead

Police fear a West Australian woman found dead in South Africa may be the victim of foul play, after she travelled to the country to see a man she met on an online dating service.
The body of 67-year-old Jette Jacobs, from Wagin, south of Perth, was found in a rented villa in Johannesburg on February 9.
Her money, credit cards, laptop computer and jewellery were missing.
She had travelled to South Africa to meet Jesse Omokoh, 28, whom she had met online and sent more than $100,000 to in recent years.
Mr Omokoh, from Nigeria, had made a proposal of marriage to Ms Jacobs before her trip.
Ms Jacobs sent about $20,000 to him shortly before the trip to assist him with travelling to meet her in South Africa.
Police say Mr Omokoh told them he discovered the body and it is too early to say whether she was murdered.
