Authorities in Santa Clarita have arrested a man they say used popular dating websites to woo women, gain their trust and then rob them.
Jeffrey Elvington, 39, of Saugus was arrested Thursday, according to a statement from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station, which alleged that Elvington admitted that over the past two years "he used various scams" to seduce several women on dating websites such as Match.com.
After winning their trust, he would steal their property, including credit card information that he used to buy expensive electronics he later sold, authorities said.
Elvington conned at least five women by pretending to have different professions, including chef, military serviceman and private investigator, authorities said. They are seeking the public's help in identifying other victims.
Anyone with information about the Elvington case is urged to call the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station at (661) 255-1121.

Growing concern, or Going Concern? Picture the scene: You've left the house, forgetting you've only got five units of credit in the carbon bank (owned by the Rothschild family, coincidentally) which is communicating with the RFID chip in your right hand—the one you queued up to get inserted back in 2010, remember? It's a good thirty-minute ride back home where your Family Carbon Credit Charger™ is situated, and you know that once your five remaining Carbon Credits® run out, you're going to light up like a Christmas tree on the Carbon Debtor Detector Unit™ within one of the hundreds of Carbon Police vehicles patrolling the city. You begin to take shallower breaths and hold them for longer. You're getting a little dizzy but you know that if you can make it to the Pay As You Breathe® City Carbon Credit Top Up Unit a couple of streets away, you'll be just fine. The Pay As You Breathe® rate is three times higher than the direct debit rate, of course, and you resent having to pay that much for something that was free only two years ago, but thinking about that upsets you, and getting agitated is only going to have you breathing harder, so you push it to the back of your mind and pick up the pace in order to get there before your remaining three credits run out. You can just about make out the City Carbon Credit Charger™ in the distance, despite the fact your vision is now beginning to blur due to lack of oxygen. You make it with half a Carbon Credit Unit® to spare and let out a ...Video Rating: 4 / 5
Two of the people linked to an expansive hoax involving Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o attended the same Antelope Valley high school, according to the Southern California woman whose photos were used in the ruse. Diane O'Meara, who now works in marketing at STN Media Group in Torrance, spoke to NBC's "Today" about the incident in a segment that aired Tuesday. In the segment, she said she met the supposed hoaxer, Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, in high school but added that the two were not friends. Paraclete High football coach Norm Dahlia confirmed to The Times that Tuiasosopo played quarterback for the Lancaster school in 2007. A Deadspin.com report published last week first revealed the hoax but did not name O'Meara. The report claims that Tuiasosopo used photos of a girl he met at Paraclete High School in Lancaster as part of a Twitter account for a "Lennay Kekua," a fake woman whom he connected with Te'o. "My name is not Lennay Kek...
After Iran announced last week that it had launched a monkey into space, web sleuths compared before and after photos of the furry astronaut and cried hoax. They claimed the monkey that made public appearances after the space flight in a bespoke suit looked nothing like the animal that had been shot into space, which seemed to have lighter fur and a mole above its eye. Did a monkey die in flight, asked the conspiracy theorists? Or did no primate ever leave the ground? Now the Iranian space agency has stepped forward to clear up any confusion. According to space official Mohammad Ebrahimi, it's true that the pictures don't match, and that they show two different monkeys. But Ebrahimi said that's not because of a hoax – it's because the pre-flight photo of a light-furred monkey was actually an archival photo and not a picture of the actual animal, Pishgam, who rode the rocket. According to the Iranians, Pishgam took a 20-minute flight and returned to earth s...
COLLEGE PLACE, Wash. - College Place Police are investigating an apparent bomb threat hoax at Walmart over the weekend. Saturday night, police say the College Place Walmart called 911, reporting a bomb threat the store received, set to go off at 6:19 on Sunday morning. Officers and the College Place Fire Department arrived on scene and evacuated the store just before 1 AM that night. Officers and firefighters stayed there overnight blocking the doors, and didn't allow customers or employees back in until 7 AM. Police say 6:19 came and went, but nothing exploded, no one got hurt, and they couldn't find any sort of explosive device, leading officers to believe the incident was an apparent hoax. Police say they don't know who made the threat, and while they're looking into leads, they don't have any potential suspects yet. Walmart returned to business as usual after 7 am on Sunday.
