Online 'Catfish' Scams Hatfield Man Out of $24,000

Online dating sites can result in a loss of more than true love.

A Hatfield man, 64, told police he met a woman online and was falling in love.

The protestors gathered in the vacant lot of a closed down gas station near the intersection of Bethlehem Pike and Unionville Road in Hatfield, waving signs and garnering the occasional honk in return. "This isn't really about Democrats or Republicans, it's about the fiscal policies and that we don't like where President Obama is taking this country," said Steve Piotrowski, chair of the Norristown-based Citizens for Liberty and organizer of the protest.
