ORIGINAL: MARIEL This new other guy from Turkey.. he called me.. I dont know..chance are,hes serious,after all. I dont know. Hes invited me to Turkey this summer. what are your suggestions. Mariel, not all people behind a computer are creeps. And I am sure the majority of us are careful on the net. But just this month we had a case of a German tourist in a center of an internet relationship that ended with armed police intervention. Luckily no one was harmed. Just to know, I live in NZ, one of the safest and friendliest countries in the world in my opinion. Here is an excerpt to what happened: Maja, a 36-year-old from Leipzig, told the Otago Daily Times she struck up an online friendship with a man she believed was a 33-year-old PhD student from Dunedin in October when she was looking for South Island contacts. The man's contact details appeared as though he was part of an advertisement for New Zealand -- she later learned he had super-imposed a photo of himself appearing about 20 years younger into the advertisement. He began emailing her frequently until slowly the relationship turned romantic. "He was quite intellectual and he knew the way to my heart," she said. Maja planned a trip to New Zealand after the man assured her she could live in his house for bed and breakfast and he would help her meet people and find work. When she arrived in Dunedin on February 8 she knew immediately the man was not who he had portrayed himself to be. The unkempt, unemployed 54-year-old rushed up to her, gave her a large hug and a too-friendly kiss and hurried her to his car. Not knowing what to do, she went with him to his central Dunedin home. "His home was really a horror house, I would say. Little roosters, cats and chickens lived in the house. There was a lot of cartons and dust and rubbish ," Maja said. "He lived in a complete fantasy world. I was totally afraid because he said there was no electricity there so we only had the candles at night." At night he took off his clothes and lay down in the same bed with her. "I had all my clothes on and these dirty sheets around me . . . I realised in that moment it was too much." She said he told her he had weapons in the house, although all she saw was one old fencing sword. She called the one person she knew in Dunedin, a man she met on the plane, and said she was not well. "But I couldn't speak too much because he was listening. " Maja said she stayed at the house because he would not allow her to take her passport when she left the house, he left with her and brought her home, listened in on her telephone calls and shouted at her. She tried to let the man she met on the plane know something was wrong. When she did not meet him as arranged on Thursday he contacted the police, who called out the Armed Offender Squad to enter the house on Saturday night. The pair were not home because the man had insisted he take her to Kaikoura for several nights.
