A fraud story that occurred in Shenzhen, China, recently went viral and caught the attention of netizens. Not a few, the victims involved 36 men who were deceived by a beautiful woman who pretended to be their girlfriend. The woman tricked the men by promising to marry them if they bought a house for her in a city about 90 km from Shenzhen. The woman, known as Liu Jia, first met the victims through an online dating platform. One of the victims, who used the pseudonym Atao, revealed that she met Liu in March last year and felt very much in love with him.[1]

"He gave me the impression of being gentle, well-mannered, family-oriented, and very caring. I thought she was the perfect girlfriend," Atao said. Liu said he was 30 years old and from Central China's Hunan Province, and worked in the e-commerce industry in Shenzhen. After dating for a month, Liu started talking about marriage and suggested Atao buy a house first. To convince Atao, Liu even offered 30,000 yuan (around IDR. 67.5 million) as assistance for the down payment on the house. To further convince Atao, Liu also recommended two blocks of houses in Huizhou city that were being marketed at a huge discount. With the huge subsidy offered, Atao finally bought one of the houses, although Liu refused to add his name to the house ownership certificate.[2]

However, after the transaction was completed, Liu began to avoid her. She no longer answered Atao's calls or messages and slowly began to distance herself. Another victim, named Wang, revealed that she had also been a victim in the same way. After buying a house, Liu disappeared under the pretext of being busy, blocking her calls, and deleting her from her contact list. According to Atao, she has recorded at least 36 men, all in their 30s and working in Shenzhen, who have fallen victim to this scam. They all had short-lived relationships with Liu, lasting only one to two months. As a result, Atao now has to pay a monthly house installment of 4,100 yuan (around IDR. 9.2 million), while she also has to pay rent in Shenzhen and take care of her parents. Many netizens then commented on the case.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
