Chinese ‘military officer’ dates man for eight years, vanishes with US$91,000

A Chinese factory worker was left heartbroken and financially devastated after his fiancée, who claimed to be a military officer, vanished after allegedly fleecing him and his family out of 650,000 yuan (US$91,000).

The 30-something man, surnamed Ji, who had only met the woman a handful of times over eight years, had been under pressure from his parents to get married.
