After losing his money in a pyramid scheme, a man in China tricked his family out of 300,000 yuan (RM199,346 or US$42,000) by fabricating a story about suffering an injury in a cycling accident.

Zhang Meng was one of two men who lost money in the scam and became so desperate they lied to their families, telling them they had serious injuries and needed cash to pay medical bills.
