A 27-year-old man surnamed Fang reportedly disguised himself as a woman, found a boyfriend surnamed Zhang on the Internet in August 2014, and swindled more than 150,000 yuan ($23,500) out of him. Fang was busted in September of this year, and is being detained on charges of cheating and fraud, the Beijing Times reported.

In addition to disguising himself as a woman, Fang also claimed to be an air force officer and made fake certificates to win the trust of Zhang, according to the report. The two even held a wedding ceremony, where Fang hired two people to impersonate his parents.

Although Zhang and Fang did not have sex, Fang said he was pregnant. This ruse was seen through by Zhang's sister and mother, who called the police and got Fang arrested.
