Japanese police raided 23 facilities of a free online dating operation in Yokohama Friday, suspected of swindling millions of dollars with false promises. Police in Kanagawa prefecture suspect that “Nihon Global System” used deceptive advertising and fraudulent billing to swindle clients, the Mainichi Shimbun reported Friday.
The group’s Web site invited people to register for their free dating service, later notifying them by phone or e-mail that although registration was free, they must pay an annual membership fee of $450.
The operator is also suspected of sending fictitious bills for supposed violations of site rules.
