  "account": "Police in Kempton Park have issued a warning about the rise in online dating scams, which they believe are linked to robbery and assault. As part of their intensified investigation, senior police officers have been visiting the area where four women’s bodies were found over a two-month period. The location is also where runner Elizabeth Moselakgomo went missing.\n\nAccording to National police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe, \"We’re looking at all possibilities, but with the missing runner it doesn’t look like it’s part of the online dating, but the two other bodies that have not been identified, it may have been victims of such because we are picking up a number of cases in the Kempton Park area, of the online dating creating problems where women turn up…” Mathe explained that in the last four months, around 10 cases have been opened, with women alleging that they met someone online, only to be robbed or raped by the individual.\n\nMathe emphasized the need to educate both young women and men about the potential dangers, stating, \"It could be men as well; anyone can be a victim.\"",
