A 38-year-old man in Hubei province was sentenced to jail for 11 years and six months and fined S$6,000 for conning more than S$112,400 from as many as 39 women, according to media in China.

The man, He Gansheng, carried out his ploy by using photos of two handsome Korean men to sweet talk his victims and earn their trust.

He would then "borrow" money from them to repay his home loan and settle other expenses, without any intention of returning them the money.
