Strange things afoot

On a forum I frequent, a member recently posted that she was going abroad to meet a man she had met on-line at another site. She hasn't been heard from since by her family according to a thread.

Apparently the site management of my forum are in contact with the police.

I hope it's a hoax or miscommunication.

I've seen "deaths" of posters on-line and heard tall tales, but this one is a new one on me. What makes it unusual and possibly real is the apparent contact with the boys in blue by those in charge of the site.
