It was recently discovered that a 41-year-old unemployed Hebei man has managed to extort multiple graduate students in a malicious scheme of love and money. The self-describing luxury goods salesman, Mr. Tian, crafted an online scam for 4 years which allowed him to leech 350,000 RMB from 15 graduate students of multiple universities.

Dating back to 2010 when mobile social media apps hadn’t quite taken off, an unemployed Mr. Tian quickly took to scamming people through online networking websites. In outright creepiness, he became fixated on the computer screen day and night sending out friend requests to his targets - taking special care to adjust his age, location, and other information to be compatible with them.

Mr. Tian enticed girls with what became a very successful persona: the 28-year-old CEO of a luxury goods company who held two Master’s degrees from Tsinghua University. From 2010 and on, this identity allowed him to lure girls from across the country to his rented apartment. Aside from having physical relations with them, he literally hit the jackpot. By using lame excuses like his mother being sick, he was able to leech up to 350,000 RMB from his victims.

Two of his victims were even from the same dormitory.

Mr. Tian is now on trial but denies all accusations of extortion. Perhaps his experience with fake personalities will help him prove his point in court.
