Love don't cost a thing: Online dating services like Lone Star Introductions pressured customers into signing contacts that ranged in price between a whopping US$8,000 (RM33,700) to US$13,000 (RM54,759).

AUSTIN, Texas: Texas halted dating service Lone Star Introductions and others from operating in the state because it said the firms had harassed and threatened clients, the Attorney General's office said. 

A state district court issued an injunction on Nov 24 that calls on the dating service and affiliated dating sites, including eLove Matchmaking, International Dating Ventures and International Introductions, to cease operations in the state.
