After the man "drained" his mother's savings of nearly 2 million yuan, he colluded with others to defraud his mother's friends of nearly 10 million yuan.

Recently, the Xuanqiao Police Station of the Pudong Branch of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau received a report from Mr. Li that his friend Ms. Wang had repeatedly asked him to borrow money on the grounds that her son was in trouble, and now suspected that she had been cheated. After receiving the report, the police quickly launched an investigation, carefully analyzed the case, retrieved the bank's fund flow, and fixed the chat evidence. The investigation found that since August 2022, Mr. Li has transferred a total of more than 9.89 million yuan to Ms. Wang and her son.

At first, Ms. Wang repeatedly asked Mr. Li to borrow money for her son's "illness" and "car accident" and other reasons. Mr. Li believed Ms. Wang's request for help. By August 2023, he had lent more than 2 million yuan in just one year.

Afterwards, Ms. Wang claimed that her son was involved in an economic lawsuit and borrowed money again in the name of "paying lawyer fees" and "the judge contacted her saying that he was involved in other cases". Mr. Li transferred several million to her again.

It was not until July 2024 that Mr. Li realized he might have been cheated when his bank card balance was insufficient.
