A woman recently contacted police, alleging she met a man who made efforts to extort money from her.

Police say between September 2014 and March 2015, the suspect and the alleged victim started a relationship through social media after meeting on a dating site.

He allegedly extorted money from the victim by threatening to post personal information about her on the internet.
