Law roundup: Beware of online strangers asking for money

The rapid souring of an online relationship left a resident turning to the Kalispell Police Department for help. They told officers that they met a woman online and had sent them money, but now she was demanding more cash. The resident said that they never met the woman face-to-face and had no information on where she might live. Officers recommended he report the situation to the Internet Crime Compliance Center at IC3.gov.
