Blaine OCT. 19

Computer crime. A man in the 12700 block of NE. Aberdeen Street told police he had a business fallout with three people during the past month. On Oct. 19, he received a phone call from a man who wanted to engage in a sexual relationship with him after the caller said he conversed with the man on the Internet. The man reported that he has not been able to get into his "Hot or Not" account and believes that the three people he had the fallout with are responsible for putting his phone number on his account, making it seem as though he was soliciting gay sex. Police spoke to the three people who said the man left the business a month ago and they hadn't heard from him. None of the three admitted to hacking into any accounts.
