A man was almost duped into paying an extortionist $250,000 (roughly 1.6 million yuan) who he met on social media. The extortionist was later found and arrested, according to a report on March 24 by the Legal Daily, the state-sponsored mouthpiece of the Chinese Ministry of Justice.
The man, named Li, received a disturbing letter at his home in Shanghai, China. The letter gave detailed accounts of his personal life and family, and attempted to threaten him. Li reported the incident to the police.
