Romance scam run by a married woman tricked men into handing over cash

[Bluesofa]

Think it might be just another day in Thailand? This is a Chinese scam about a married woman with eighteen boyfriends:

Chinese married woman’s web of lies lures 18 love-struck men into giving her US$300,000, believing they were to marry.
The 29-year-old woman, surnamed Wu, has been romantically involved with numerous men since 2017 and at one point was dating 18 men simultaneously, Shanghai TV reported.
Wu pretended to agree to marry the men, even having pre-wedding photos taken with them to convince the men her feelings were genuine.

Some of her “boyfriends” were so enraptured by her act that they started affectionately calling her “wife” in their online conversations. Once Wu was confident she had the unwitting men on the hook, the request for money began.
