Actor Rupert Grint says a thief used his credit card to sign up to several dating websites and was alarmed when he was flooded with dozens of letters and emails about his quest for love.

"I don't usually care about money that much. But when I had my card taken I cared about that. And the guy who did it joined loads of different dating sites. I kept getting post and messages about it all the time," femalefirst.co.uk quoted him as saying.

The 25-year-old doesn't seem to take help from online dating sites as he has been seeing a mystery girl since last year.
