Online dating is more massively popular than ever today, and the list of sites that you can join up in an attempt to find that special person who may be lacking from your life seems to constantly grow - Plenty Of Fish, Tinder, Grindr, Bumble to name just a few, and of course, Match.Com
\\n
\\nThe drawback with these sites is, is that you never know who you could meet on there. And sometimes, as you\'ll hear with this account - you may find out too late that you have matched with the wrong person.
\\n
\\nThe very wrong person.
\\n
\\nThe episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving\\xa0 descriptions of a sexual nature, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
