A resident of Shanghai (China) by the name of Maine made a large -scale scam to lure money from her relatives. The woman married a stranger, presented him as an entrepreneur in real estate and lured the family 12 million yuan. About this writes the publication The South China Morning Post.

The idea to make money by deception appeared in Menn after 2014, when her small real estate agency went bankrupt. Once a woman traveled a hitchhiker and met a driver whose name is Jiang. Sharing the details of the fraudulent deal with the fellow traveler, she persuaded him to become an accomplice.

Maine and Jiang made a fictitious wedding. The woman presented her relatives as a “groom” as a person who has a relationship in the field of real estate. A couple said that now they will be able to buy housing with large discounts. To rub the trust, Maine acquired an apartment for a million yuan, and sold a cousin for half the price. Like, this played the role of the connection of her lover.

Only five relatives of the Chinese woman “pecked” at this proposal. Some even sold their old apartments in the hope of fast moving. At first, the fraudster pulled time and lied to his victims, then at his own expense rented housing for them, passing it for the purchased.

Having not received any documents, one of the victims directly turned to the developer and realized that he was deceived.

The court sentenced the verdict, according to which Maine will spend 12.5 years in prison. Her accomplice Jiang received six years in prison.

We will remind, the focus wrote earlier that the 23-year-old future bride Jennifer Meyer, who lives in Minnesota (USA), spent more than $ 600 on wedding invitations, and when they arrived all guests, she found a small but annoying spelling error.

In addition, we told how the bride lost consciousness at the most crucial moment at the wedding. It was planned that this day will become the happiest in the life of 28-year-old Catherine Frank from the USA, but the wedding ceremony turned into a real shock for her.
