A Langley man may be done with online dating after allegedly being defrauded out of $1,000 from a woman he met on a relationship site.

She hasn't been heard from since and took down her social media profiles.

The accused is described as Caucasian, approximately 25-years-old, five-feet- tall, weighing approximately 145 pounds and has dyed, shoulder length red hair.
