QINGPU District police are investigating a fake train ticket booking center which allegedly swindled 700 people out of more than 100,000 yuan (US$14,625).
"We have received more than 100 reports from migrant workers," said Jin Bin, media coordinator of Qingpu police.
The organizer of the scheme, a man surnamed Zhang, is still at large.
A victim surnamed Liu said he was conned out of 200 yuan. He saw a billboard advertising ticket booking and contacted Zhang on January 7.
He paid 200 yuan and also introduced Zhang to a colleague, who then paid several thousand yuan. Zhang gave them receipts and promised delivery in five days.
On January 11, Liu heard that Zhang had disappeared. When he went to the booking center, there were crowds of people already there, all of them holding receipts.
