The story of a 50-year-old man who lost a fortune and got burned after falling for two female streamers has caught the attention of many netizens in China. This male fan, living in Hebei province, spent hundreds of millions of dong on livestreams of beautiful streamers, only to be met with cold indifference.
“At first, I just thought I should expand my circle of friends”,
“The female streamers are always very enthusiastic with viewers who spend money”,
“I only meant to top up a little to say hi, but I ended up sinking deeper and deeper”… these are the heartfelt words from the man.
The man, over 50 and unmarried, wanted to connect with streamers across various platforms. He didn’t hesitate to spend money to send messages, get on stream to chat, and build connections with these beautiful girls. Among them, two young women frequently interacted with him. After some time, he found out both streamers lived in the same city as him.
Despite the big age gap, the two streamers acted very warmly toward the man. Their goal was clear: to lure him into spending more on gift cards and presents during their livestreams. After a while, both asked to meet him in person and added him on social media.
In private chats, the two young women openly showed affection and even sent him provocative photos. They didn’t stop there, using excuses like running out of money for food, cosmetics, or rent to convince him to keep topping up with even bigger amounts.
The man was an ordinary worker with a modest income. When he ran out of money, he was mercilessly abandoned. Seeing the two girls happily chatting with other men on stream, jealousy got the better of him. He even took out a quick loan to try to win back their attention. But they still refused to meet him.
One of the streamers suddenly coldly “broke up” with him, accusing him of “cheating” by spending money on other streamers and promptly blocked him. The other streamer quickly unfriended him as well. All his messages went unanswered. Realizing he had been scammed, the man went to the police to report the incident.
