My colleague introduced me to his "online girlfriend" and transferred over 200000 yuan to her during our five-year relationship. After a deep affection, I discovered that the "online girlfriend" was actually this "enthusiastic" male colleague. Recently, the People's Court of Dingbian County, Shaanxi Province tried a case of online fraud. The defendant Liu was sentenced to four years in prison and fined 20000 yuan for the crime of fraud. Liu and Li are colleagues from a certain company and have a good relationship on weekdays. In 2018, Liu took the initiative to introduce Li, who had been single for a long time, to someone else. Subsequently, a woman requested to add Li as a WeChat friend and claimed to be the blind date introduced by Liu, named Xiao Na. Li fell in love with Xiao Na in the photo at first sight, and the two quickly confirmed their boyfriend and girlfriend relationship on WeChat. This online romance lasted for five years, and the two parties have never met in real life. Xiao Na always excuses Li's request for a meeting with various inconveniences. Thanks to Liu's guarantee, Li has no doubt about his online dating partner. Xiaona occasionally asks Li for money on the grounds of eating, buying a phone, celebrating birthdays, etc., with a cumulative amount of more than 200000 yuan over five years. In 2023, Li repeatedly expressed his desire to meet with Xiaona, although his words were sincere, they were all rejected. After dating online for several months, Xiaona broke up on the grounds of incompatible personalities and blocked Li's WeChat account. Li tried his best to contact his online girlfriend through Liu, but couldn't get in touch. Helpless, he had to report to the police. However, the police's investigation results were surprising, as Li's girlfriend Xiao Na, whom she had been dating online for five years, turned out to be Liu, a colleague and "matchmaker". According to Liu's confession, he discovered through dating that Li was quite honest and had the idea of defrauding him of his money. He then registered a WeChat account, disguised himself as Xiao Na, and used photos of beautiful women on the internet to lure Li into dating him. He also took the opportunity to demand money from Li for his consumption and extravagance. After the court trial, it was found that Liu had fabricated facts and concealed the truth with the purpose of illegal possession, defrauded others of their property, and the amount involved was huge. His behavior constituted the crime of fraud. Based on the circumstances of his crime, the court made the above judgment against the defendant Liu in accordance with the law. (New Society)
