OKLAHOMA CITY – An Internet dating scheme has broken the bank for one local credit union member–and his heart, as well. The love-struck victim met a potential mate online who told him she lived in Nigeria and wanted to fly to America to be with him. The courtship, however, was quickly terminated after he cashed more than $5,000 in purported Wal-Mart money orders she at OKC Thrift FCU, then send her the funds in Nigeria via Western Union to finance her flight. Love may have been blind but the authorities weren’t and they identified the money orders as counterfeit. Now the jilted member owes his credit union $5,100.
