Chinese Woman Who Held 16 Jobs But Never Went To Work Arrested For Fraud

A Chinese woman named Guan Yue was arrested for a strange wage theft case. She had 16 jobs but never went to any of them. Guan Yue used the money she earned from this scam to buy a villa in Shanghai.?

The fraud she committed on a large scale was only discovered recently. It happened when one of her employers noticed strange document inconsistencies and reported it to the police.

The South China Morning Post reported that Yue handled 16 jobs simultaneously.?

She achieved this by continuously applying for new jobs while already employed elsewhere. During interviews for these new positions, she would take pictures and send them to her current employers, claiming these were from client meetings.

Ironically, the con artist's arrest occurred while she was interviewing for another job.

Guan Yue's husband, Chen Qiang, is also believed to have been part of the scam. Together, they kept meticulous records to manage their numerous jobs.?

These records included information such as when Yue began working at a specific company, the bank account she used for that employer, her job role, and more.

Over three years, the couple orchestrated the scheme, accumulating enough money to purchase a villa. They didn't decline any job opportunities; when they couldn't handle a job themselves, they would pass it on to someone else and still earn a commission.

Nevertheless, their scheme fell apart in January this year when one of their employers, tech company owner Liu Jian, detected inconsistencies in her documents.

Jian's company had hired Guan Yue and seven of her associates.?

However, after a three-month probationary period, the team hadn't made any sales, leading to their dismissal.

Soon after Yue departed from Jian's company, she mistakenly sent her resignation notice to another company and multiple work groups. Jian was part of one of these groups and observed that Yue's resignation date matched when she was expected to work for his company.

Growing suspicious, he reached out to the police, setting in motion the exposure of the fraudulent activity.?

Upon investigation, it was discovered that Yue possessed multiple identity cards and bank accounts through which she received salaries from numerous organizations. The magnitude of her scam exceeded 50 million yuan.

Following this revelation, Yue, her husband, and more than 50 accomplices involved in the salary fraud were arrested.
