Scammers Exploit Desperate Jobseekers in China

Scammers Pray on Desperate Chinese Jobseekers

In a heartbreaking incident, a 19-year-old intellectually disabled man from Wuhan, China, was deceived by scammers into undergoing breast augmentation surgery, highlighting the vulnerability of young jobseekers in a struggling economy. Believing that the procedure would boost his chances to earn money through livestreaming, the teenager was urged to take a 30,000 yuan loan to fund the surgery. Fortunately, the boy's mother was able to have the loan canceled with the aid of a TV station and legal support, although the surgery had already taken place.
