Bi, who was impressed by Qiu's seemingly rich lifestyle, kept sending money in the following months to Qiu when he lied repeatedly, such as telling her about a car accident and organ transplant.
By the time Bi realized it was a fraud in March 2010, Qiu had squandered away a large amount of the money, including buying a car.
The case is still under investigation.
