A Wuhan man was scammed out of 1.36 million yuan after chatting online with a "rich and beautiful" woman and investing in crude oil futures
. Mr. Li, a single man, met a "rich and beautiful" woman on a dating website. They became very close online, and he was subsequently invited to join a supposed "crude oil futures trading platform." Within just two months, he lost all 1.36 million yuan he had invested, and the "rich and beautiful" woman disappeared. An investigation by the Hongshan Branch of the Wuhan Public Security Bureau revealed that the trading data, profits, and returns on the so-called "crude oil futures trading" platform were fake, and even the so-called "rich and beautiful"
woman was a male college student hired by the fraudulent company to impersonate her.
Mr. Li, 35, is a businessman who works in the security engineering industry in Wuhan. He is successful in his career, but his personal life remains unresolved, constantly pressured by his family to find a wife. Therefore, in early July 2014, Mr. Li posted his personal information on a dating website, hoping to get a response.
Soon after, a girl named "Hu Li" contacted him. This Hu Li was no ordinary woman; she was an independent entrepreneur, and her photos showed her as sweet and charming—a typical "rich, beautiful, and successful" woman. The two began chatting online. Gradually, Hu Li started calling Mr. Li "husband."
One evening, Hu Li casually mentioned a "crude oil futures" trading platform that was "internationally aligned and operated entirely in US dollars." Hu Li said she had made a lot of money on this platform and sent screenshots of her profits to Mr. Li via QQ, asking if he was interested in participating. Mr. Li didn't know much about futures, but after a quick look, he felt the platform seemed quite sophisticated, and as long as it could make money, that was fine.
On July 23, 2014, he downloaded the platform software provided by Hu Li, registered an account, activated online banking, and transferred 100,000 yuan, asking Hu Li to guide him through the process.
Initially, he "tested the waters" and made a profit, which made Hu Li very happy, and she invited Mr. Li to invest more. The account quickly reached over 300,000 yuan, but unexpectedly, Hu Li subsequently suffered continuous losses, losing over 100,000 yuan.
Frustrated, Mr. Li was comforted by Hu Li, who advised him to remain calm during losses and to invest more, promising a return on his investment. Mr. Li believed her and made over ten additional investments, only to lose more each time. By the end of September 2014, Mr. Li had invested 1.36 million yuan in a futures account, leaving him with only 500,000 yuan.
Desperate, he demanded to cash out the remaining 500,000 yuan, but Hu Li had vanished, becoming unreachable by phone or QQ.
Realizing he had been scammed, Mr. Li reported the crime to the Beigang Police Station of the Hongshan Public Security Bureau on October 9, 2014.
The "rich and beautiful" woman turned out to be a man.
Through case research, the investigating officers discovered that in September 2014, police in Shangyu, Zhejiang Province, had cracked a similar case in Lu'an, Anhui Province. In that case, the suspect used a fake crude oil futures trading platform, hiring people to approach men on dating websites and defraud them of investments.
Wang Hong immediately contacted the Shangyu police, who explained that the gang had branches in multiple provinces across the country, and that they did have an agent in Hubei named Li Cheng (pseudonym), whose company was called "Hongsheng Consulting & Investment Company."
Further investigation revealed that the company was located in an office building in Optics Valley, but it was now deserted. The case reached a stalemate.
One day, while searching online using Li Cheng and "Hongsheng Consulting & Investment Company" as keywords, the police unexpectedly discovered a post from a woman named Li Yun (pseudonym), claiming she worked for a fraudulent company and exposing its various shady practices. She also posted a photo of a man at the company counting a stack of cash, captioned: "A monthly bonus of 58,000 yuan, what a tycoon!"
The police located Li Yun, who admitted that the company did indeed use "crude oil futures" trading to defraud people. She explained that she was unhappy because the company owed her wages, which is why she posted the photo online to expose the company's illegal activities. She claimed that the company manager was Li Cheng.
Based on clues, on February 21, 2015, police arrested Li Cheng in Zhongxiang while he was visiting relatives. He was driving a luxury car bought with 310,000 yuan of embezzled funds. Li Cheng confessed that from April to September of the previous year, he earned 500,000 yuan through a "crude oil futures" scam.
Further investigation revealed that Hu Li's real identity was Zhao, a resident of Enshi, who was the man Li Yun had posted online counting money. The day before yesterday, through an emergency arrest, Zhao was apprehended and admitted that he was indeed "Hu Li."
Mr. Li was both amused and exasperated to learn that his once-beloved "confidante" was actually a male swindler.
The "crude oil futures platform" was entirely fictitious.
Further police investigation revealed that Li Cheng's supplier was the same fraud gang that Shangyu police had dismantled. After his supplier was shut down last September, Li's company immediately closed down.
Li Cheng's company had a four-tiered organization: general manager, manager, team leader, and trader. The group of 31 traders, more than half of whom were recent college graduates, were assigned a dating website account and a female name upon recruitment. They were tasked with finding suitable men online to "date." Once a relationship blossomed, they would invite the man to invest in online "crude oil futures," ultimately swindling his funds.
Li Cheng confessed that the so-called "crude oil futures platform" and trading software were provided online and were entirely fake. The traders could manipulate price fluctuations in the background as needed. After the victims' money was deposited into the account, it was distributed through a third-party payment platform in Shanghai, according to the head office's accounting rules, before being returned to Li Cheng; no actual futures trading occurred.
Li Cheng, a high school graduate, had previously worked with Zheng, a high-ranking executive at the Shangyu headquarters, at a financial company in Shanghai. During this time, he learned this method and decided to return to Wuhan last year to "start his own business." Li Cheng had clear rules for the traders, requiring all communication to be conducted online. The company explicitly prohibited targeting men within Hubei province. However, Zhao violated these rules, thus exposing the scheme.
Police estimate that there are over 30 victims in the case, with the amount involved exceeding ten million yuan. However, only Mr. Li has reported the crime so far. The other victims and the specific amounts involved are still under investigation. Police analysis suggests that many victims may not have realized they had been scammed, believing it to be a normal loss, and therefore did not report it. Police urge victims to contact the police after seeing this report.
The story recounts how
a 22-year-old man impersonating a woman easily earned 70,000 yuan in two months
. It is understood that the operator received a 5% commission on the amount defrauded. Based on this calculation, Zhao alone "profited" 68,000 yuan from Mr. Li.
Having earned 70,000 yuan in two months, the "operator," Zhao, is only 22 years old. After his arrest, he repeatedly expressed regret.
He said he had just graduated from a university in Wuhan in June 2014. While sending out resumes online, he discovered this company. During the interview, Li Cheng only had two requirements: typing speed and online chatting skills.
After joining the company, every morning Zhao would turn on the company computer, log into the company-password-protected QQ account, and the male Zhao would transform into the female "Hu Li." On dating websites, Hu Li, 23, boasts a sophisticated lifestyle. She works at a bank, owns a small two-bedroom apartment, and a car worth over 100,000 yuan. "Hu Li" meticulously remembers the names and characteristics of every "husband" on QQ, judging their suitability as potential clients based on their conversations. Company rules forbid her from contacting clients from Hubei province, because "what if they want to meet in person?" Once a client calls, "Hu Li" calls a female colleague to impersonate her and chat with the caller.
Zhao, a colleague, says he spends almost all his work time on QQ, except for meals and bathroom breaks. When he feels conflicted, he comforts himself, saying, "General Manager Li said that men always understand men better."
The only time Zhao finds meaning in his work is when he receives his bonus. Seeing his classmates struggling to earn only two or three thousand yuan a month, while he earned 70,000 yuan in just two months, he feels very satisfied. So, after receiving his salary, he generously buys his girlfriend the latest iPhone 6 Plus and gives his parents a 40,000 yuan savings account…
