Ohio couple dating service scam busted. An Ohio couple has been arrested for conducting an online dating service to scam singles. The dating service was able to scam seven people by the Ohio couple.
The scam included extortion over naked photos that were sent to the couple. The Teledo couple, Kevin Zunk and Tonya Blaze, used a telephone dating service to attract singles all over the country. Once the couple found their prey, they would encourage them to send them naked photos through their cell phone.
Then when the victims did send them, the couple would accuse them of sending the images to their 11-year-old daughter. The fraudulent dating service couple would request money from victims to keep them from going to the police. It is not clear if the couple even had a daughter.
However, they were able to scam seven people and extort at least $10,000. The couple is now behind bars. If they are found guilty, they could face up to two-years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
