Man arrested for defrauding seven women of 300,000 yuan on dating websites

A 40-year-old local man, surnamed Deng, has been arrested for allegedly defrauding seven women over 300,000 yuan (US$44,000) by pretending to be a government official, police said on Monday. 

Deng owned up that he hooked up women on dating websites and falsely claimed that he could help them get Shanghai hukou or have their kids enrolled in Shanghai schools in return for “bribery fees”.

He registered accounts on the dating websites with his real name but false employment data, police said.

Deng was reported to the police by several victims in June who found out that he was staying in touch with a number of women at the same time with similar offers.

Deng, now under arrest in Changning District, told Shanghai Daily that he was sentenced to one and a half years in prison in 2014 for the same crime, and after sitting out his term, he played the same tricks again.
