一名三十出頭的中國男子因感情問題尚未解決，透過堂姐介紹認識一名自稱女性同事的“網戀對象”。男子與對方在線上交往長達兩年期間，先後轉帳給對方十餘萬元人民幣。然而，當男子決定親自前往見面並索要款項時，才驚覺自己所謂的“網戀女友”其實是堂姐偽裝的。

案件曝光後引發社會關注，不僅涉及網絡詐騙，也牽扯到親屬之間的信任與欺詐。法院審理後認定，堂姐以欺騙手段非法占有他人財產，已構成詐騙罪。最終判決堂姐有期徒刑三年，並處罰金二萬元人民幣。

此案提醒社會大眾，網絡交往尤其是涉及金錢的互動需保持警惕，即便是熟人介紹，也可能存在欺詐風險。案件同時折射出一些個人情感困境可能被利用，提醒人們在感情與財務上都應謹慎，避免落入熟人或親屬設下的陷阱。

In a recent case of online fraud, a man in his early thirties, who had not yet resolved his romantic situation, was introduced by his cousin to a colleague, who became his supposed “online girlfriend.” Over the course of two years of online interactions, the man transferred more than 100,000 RMB to her. However, when he decided to meet her in person and request the return of his money, he discovered that the “girlfriend” was actually his cousin impersonating her.

The case drew significant public attention, as it involved both online fraud and a breach of trust within the family. The court found that the cousin had illegally obtained property through deception, constituting the crime of fraud. She was ultimately sentenced to three years in prison and fined 20,000 RMB.

This incident serves as a cautionary tale, emphasizing the need for vigilance in online relationships, especially those involving financial transactions. Even introductions through acquaintances or family members can carry risks. The case also highlights how personal emotional vulnerabilities can be exploited, underlining the importance of prudence in both romantic and financial matters to avoid falling victim to such schemes.
