    Bree CondonBree CondonSurprise, surprise. Not every online dating profile is legitimate, but this story that broke recently in the LA Times is more than a little different.  Recently, an imposter on the dating site www.seekingamillionaire.com  going by the name of “Bree” was caught by authorities for the crime of cheating several men out of their money and for the more serious crime of “identity theft”.
