The Marriage Con ... with a Twist: Woman Disguised Herself as a Man and Proposed Marriage to Other Women

Meet Li Xu, a Chinese "army major" who cheated a strings of girls by disguising herself as a man and proposing marriage:

She was arrested after Liu Lian, of Datong city, Shanxi province, reported she had been cheated out of £11,000 by an army major named Li Zhanyu who she had met on the internet. [...]

Liu Lian said: "He said he wanted to date my daughter, but first needed money to break up with his current girlfriend. He also promised to find my daughter a good job."

But, after Liu wired the money, Li disappeared from her life. [...]

Police thought he was a conman at this stage but their suspicions grew during questioning as they noticed his high-pitched voice and fair complexion.

A check-up by female police revealed Li to be a 25-year-old woman. She confessed she had cheated another two women with the same marriage con.

Li’s scam lasted for two years … and you’d think the, um, boobs would give it away sooner: Link
