According to Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, Chen Mo, a 36-year-old man living in Shanghai, China, approached women by deceiving him as a 'night club president'. He was found to have recruited five women for just 10 days by tricking them into 'high-priced part-time jobs' and then using their money to go in and out of high-end restaurants and entertainment establishments and even prepare the latest smartphones and clothing.
One of the victims, woman A, claimed that Chen hired her as a guide and promised to pay 3,500 yuan (about 700,000 won) a day, but in fact, she showed a bunch of fake bills and gained trust and then passed on living and entertainment expenses.
Chen tricked him by bringing 50,000 to 60,000 yuan (about 10 million to 12 million won) in cash in a black plastic bag and saying, `We have to put it under the bed because of the storm.' However, most of the bags were fake bills for bank employee training.
According to the police investigation, Chen visited high-end businesses with other women every time, paying for meals, alcohol, hotel expenses, and transportation. In an online chat room, he posted a post pretending to be a 'high-value part-time job' to recruit victims, and in real meetings, he showed off a bunch of training bills with a few real bills stuck up and down as if he had a lot of money.
Chen is known to have been homeless on a park bench if she can't find a new woman and searched for another victim the next day. Eventually, he was arrested by the police, and it was confirmed that he purchased all clothes and the latest smartphones with the money of the victims.
Netizens are saying, "There's nothing you can't do with Bae-chan.", "Money is not spent, it is shown," he said", It shows reactions such as "Why didn't the victims notice?"
