Chinese Woman Cons 36 Men Into Buying Apartments in Elaborate Romance Scam

The woman, posing as a girlfriend, convinced the men to purchase properties in Huizhou before cutting off all contact.

A woman in Shenzhen, identified as Liu Jia, allegedly swindled 36 men by pretending to be in a relationship with each of them.
The victims were persuaded to buy apartments in two residential complexes in Huizhou, about 90 kilometers from Shenzhen, as a prerequisite for marriage.
Liu reportedly claimed to be a 30-year-old working in the e-commerce industry and offered to contribute to the down payments to make her scheme more convincing.
After the men purchased the properties, Liu cut off all communication, leaving them with significant financial burdens, including mortgages and rents.
The case has sparked widespread discussion on Chinese social media, with some jokingly calling Liu a 'sales champion' for real estate developers and others criticizing the victims for being overly trusting.
