Online shopping arrest
Print Edition
A college girl has been arrested for profiting 40,000 yuan (US$5,800) from an unusual fraud against online shops, police said yesterday.
The suspect, surnamed Chen, ordered expensive garments and phones on the Internet to be sent to a man surnamed Jiang, who lives in Jiading District.
Chen had got to know Jiang via a home-renting app and asked him to agree to have her shopping orders delivered to his address, claiming she could not receive them at her college.
Jiang received seven packages in mid-December ordered by Chen who came to fetch them and later showed up again at his doorstep asking him to return those products. She also accused him of taking the packages without her consent. Chen then called a delivery company to return the packages to the online shops. But when the packages were opened, they were found to contain water bottles and used garments.
The delivery company reported Jiang to the police, but he denied being involved in the alleged scam, and said he had lost contact with Chen, who had never revealed her true identity.
Chen had used the contact information of her grandfather and a school friend who lived in Hainan Province when ordering the products.
But police in Jiading District said they managed to find her by assuming that the fraudster had to be someone who knew both people. Chen owned up to the fraud, police said.
