Print Edition
A FRAUDSTER who posed as a journalist has been jailed for 10 years, China’s National Anti-Pornography and Anti-Illegal Publications Office said yesterday.
Yang Junlin, who netted 502,000 yuan (US$82,000)through his scam, was sentenced by the People’s Court of Jiangxian County in north China’s Shanxi Province. He was also fined 100,000 yuan.
In 2010, posing as a magazine chief, Yang swindled a victim from Hangzhou, capital of east China’s Zhejiang Province, claiming he could resolve a compensation issue.
In 2012, the court heard, Yang received 30,000 yuan from a party involved in a forced demolition to investigate the distribution of compensation.
Other instances included defrauding a person from Yuzhou in Henan Province after making claims he could resolve a coal mine dispute.
A television center Yang used had its license revoked in 2000, the magazine he claimed to head was registered in Hong Kong but not approved by mainland authorities, and he had no approved press card, the court heard.
