A Vancouver Island man accused of defrauding women for money through online dating has been arrested. RCMP arrested him after they found him sleeping in a car outside a motel in Nanaimo early Thursday morning. RCMP said he's accused of using social media and Plenty of Fish under the name "Dave Rofter" to connect with and swindle women. Online dating was third on the Better Business Bureau's top 10 scams of 2017, behind online shopping scams and wire transfer fraud. O'Brien said RCMP believe there may be more online dating fraud victims in Shepherd's case.
