Online Edition
A man in Shanghai has been arrested and accused of fraud after five women were cheated out of a combined 1.2 million yuan (US$194,289) with false marriage promises.
The 37-year-old suspect, surnamed Meng, fathered a child with two of the women, according to police.
He started a management company in Shanghai in 2010. Business didn’t go well and the company was soon in debt. Meng told police he came up with the fraud plan when browsing matchmaking websites.
Meng met a woman surnamed Wang through a matchmaking website. He claimed to have graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University and that both his parents were civil servants. They started dating in March 2011. Wang was pregnant two months later.
Meng promised to marry Wang and they moved into a rented apartment, police said. Meng then claimed he had a business project in Guangdong Province that was encountering cash-flow problems. Considering Meng her fiance, Wang lent him 320,000 yuan, police said.
Their child was born in January 2012, but Meng kept delaying the marriage. Wang told police that he hadn’t returned to their apartment since August 2013.
Police added that Meng had been seeing multiple women at the same time and that he used similar excuses to borrow money from the other victims.
