As many people often say, games are sometimes just virtual. However, this “virtual world” can sometimes have real effects on players. It can lead to fulfilling romances and dates after meeting through games, but on the negative side, it can also result in unprecedented scams, leaving both emotional and financial pain for the victims. A prime example of this has been shocking the online community in recent days.
The main character in this story has been identified as Lu Yanyan (Lục Nghiêu), a female gamer from Henan, China. The story wouldn’t be particularly interesting if Lu Yanyan just played games normally, but no one expected that through the game she was playing, she would literally “pair up” with 13 men at the same time, flirting and providing emotional support. Of course, this service was not free. Based on the increasingly close relationships, Lu Yanyan managed to “borrow” a staggering amount of 400,000 yuan (approximately 1.4 billion VND) from these 13 men.
All of Lu Yanyan’s “boyfriends” were deceived by her charming, polite interactions as well as the dreamy images she sent. But unexpectedly, she turned out to be a fraud. It is known that after achieving her goal, this beautiful girl suddenly disappeared completely from the game, and it was only when several posts appeared that the 13 unfortunate guys found each other and formed a “victims’ group” to seek Lu Yanyan at her home for an explanation.
Currently, the police have intervened, and the “beautiful” girl has been temporarily detained for investigation. According to sources from the victims, not only is she not as beautiful as in the photos, but Lu Yanyan is also married and has a child. Her usual tactic was to pretend to be pitiful, performing astonishingly well to extract money from naive male gamers.
