The A.I. or artificial intelligence of CyberLover is good enough to spoof most people into thinking it's a real person and suitor. It can 'harvest' 10 victims in 30 minutes. It compiles a report on every victim it meets complete with name, contact information, and photos.

Oh my goodness, what is next. Well, I am afraid to ask. It is bad enough we have to worry about getting our heart broken by a human being but now by a robot. Gosh, that is terrible and those who are using those site should be very careful in the first place though. You don't know the person so you have to be protective of your private infos........
