A Chinese woman named Guan Yue was arrested in a strange case of wage theft. She had 16 jobs but she never went to any of them. Guan Yue used the money she earned from this scam to buy a villa in Shanghai.
The fraud he committed on a large scale was recently discovered. It happened when one of his employers noticed strange inconsistencies in the documents and reported him to the police.
The South China Morning Post reported that Yue was doing 16 jobs simultaneously.
She did this by continually applying for new jobs while already employed elsewhere. During interviews for these new positions, she would take pictures and send them to her current employers, claiming they were from client meetings.
Ironically, the fraudster’s arrest occurred while she was interviewing for another job.
Guan Yue’s husband, Chen Qiang, is also believed to have been part of the scam. Together, they kept meticulous records to manage their many jobs.
These records included information such as when Yue started working at a specific company, the bank account he used for that employer, his job role, and more.
Over three years, the couple orchestrated the plan and amassed enough money to buy a villa. They did not reject any job opportunities; when they couldn’t do a job themselves, they would pass it on to someone else and still earn a commission.
However, his plan fell apart in January of this year when one of his employers, the owner of a technology company, Liu Jian, detected inconsistencies in his documents.

Jian’s company had hired Guan Yue and seven of his associates.
However, after a three-month trial period, the team had failed to make any sales, leading to his dismissal.
Shortly after Yue left Jian’s company, he mistakenly sent his resignation notice to another company and to several work groups. Jian was part of one of these groups and noted that Yue’s resignation date coincided with the date she was expected to work for her company.
Suspicious, he reached out to the police, setting in motion the exposure of the fraudulent activity.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that Yue possessed multiple identity documents and bank accounts through which he received salaries from numerous organizations. The magnitude of her scam exceeded 50 million yuan.
Following this revelation, Yue, her husband and more than 50 accomplices involved in the wage fraud were arrested.
