Facebook has become a popular platform for people to find love, but for one man, his online romance turned into a nightmare when he met his match in person.
According to reports, the man, who goes by the username Too Risky, had been chatting with a woman on Facebook and had become smitten with her pictures.
However, when they finally met at a station, the man was shocked to see that the woman looked nothing like her pictures. He claimed that she was 'very short, very very dark, and above all...'
He quickly excused himself, citing an emergency, and left the woman behind. In a Facebook post, he revealed that he had been so shaken by the experience that he had collapsed and had to be resuscitated by well-wishers.
The woman is now being traced to explain why she had deliberately misled men with her pictures.
