Gardaí in Clare are warning people to exercise caution while online dating and not to be romanced into a scam.
It comes after a young man, who was using an online dating app, provided his personal mobile number to a person he believed was a female and a series of texts containing pictures were exchanged.
A demand was subsequently made for a sum of money to be paid, under threat of the pictures and videos being posted online.
