Lottery victims ensnared by 鈥榳omen鈥
Print Edition
THIRTY-TWO suspects accused of setting up an illegal lottery betting website and pretending to be women to entrap men — cheating them out of 50 million yuan (US$7.2 million) in just five months — will be tried for illegal operation, Fengxian District prosecutors said.
The suspects operated on the popular instant messenger QQ site. They befriended male users aged between 25 and 40, taking advantage of their victims’ belief they were corresponding with young women, prosecutors said.
In one case, an alleged victim accepted a friend request from a “beautiful clothing store owner” in April. Soon they became good friends, and “she” offered to show “her” new friend how to make money, prosecutors added. “She sent him the site link and snapshots of her account on the website to show her increasing income so as to convince him. At first, he won but soon he began to lose.” When he realized it might be a scam, he had lost more than 70,000 yuan, prosecutors said.
The gang swindled about 50 million yuan between March and August and its leader, surnamed Teng, is absconding.
