In a scandal that reads like a plot twist, 15 women from a Shenzhen-based real estate consulting company were involved in misleading at least 36 men to buy homes in the neighbouring city of Huizhou under the guise of romantic relationships, according to local authorities.
The men, around 30 years old and working in Shenzhen, were all tricked into buying apartments in Huizhou’s Zhongkai High-tech Zone for their “girlfriends”, all named Liu Jia.
