In a recent report from the South China Morning Post, a woman in China was exposed as a major participant in a labor fraud scheme, where she managed to secure 16 different job positions across various companies simultaneously.

This wage fraudster, known only by the alias Guan Yue, was apprehended during a job interview. She used photos from these interviews and shared them in work group chats to deceive multiple employers into believing she was meeting with clients.

According to media sources, Guan meticulously maintained written records for each of her positions, including job titles, bank account details, and start dates.

When she received more job offers than she could handle, she would pass a job to a friend and earn a commission from the income generated by that role, as reported by Business Insider, citing the state-owned newspaper Xinmin.

Both Guan and her husband, Chen Qiang, showed a knack for exploiting rules and laws. Chen had initiated 13 arbitration cases and reportedly won all of them.

As a result of their scheme, the couple managed to acquire a villa in Shanghai's Baoshan district, accumulating significant wealth in the process.

Their fraudulent activities came to light in January 2023 when one of the employers, tech company owner Liu Jian, identified inconsistencies in paperwork and reported the matter to the police.

Eventually, the police arrested 53 members of Guan's wage-cheating group, who collectively amassed more than $7 million through this scheme.
