It is said that with the crackdown in Southeast Asia, various types of romance scams targeting foreigners have returned to the country, not only in traditional Fujian but also spreading across the country. Indeed, this is reported in the news.

According to a report by Guangming Network, the police in Dongxihu, Wuhan, dismantled a hidden scam den in the countryside, arresting 32 criminal suspects, 20 of whom have been criminally detained. The gang posed as 'wealthy beauties' to engage in online dating, boasting about the investment returns of virtual currencies, luring victims to invest in virtual currencies on false platforms, creating a controllable illusion of 'high returns', but in reality, the funds could not be withdrawn, ultimately flowing into the accounts of the scammers.
