A woman was arrested after tricking a former partner into paying child support with photos of a child who she claimed was their son. After being reported to the police, the woman was arrested for fraud in China’s Suzhou City on April 20, according to the Hangzhou Daily.

The woman, named Bei, allegedly cheated her ex-boyfriend, named Zhao, out of 600,000 yuan ($90,000) for over two years. She edited photos of herself holding a friend’s son, who she claimed was fathered by Zhao.

From a Bad Relationship to a Nightmare

Zhao said he met Bei in 2016. But after only three months of being in a relationship, they broke up. Upon breaking up, Bei told her now ex-boyfriend that she was pregnant.
