A NUMBER of unmarried people who turned to the Internet for romance hoping to put an end to their single life have fallen victims to online dating scams, according to the Luohu District People’s Procuratorate.
The procuratorate recently disclosed several such scams that had taken place in Shenzhen to caution people seeking love about online romance traps, sznews.com reported yesterday.
One of the victims was a man, identifi ed as Wang, who spent more than 6,000 yuan (US$909) on alcoholic beverages when dating a woman he met online.
Wang met the woman, sur-named Li, on a dating website. He found Li attractive after chat-
ting with her on the Internet for a couple of weeks and asked to meet her in person.
They met at a bar for a date. Wang let Li order whatever she wanted to drink in order to impress her with his generosity as he estimated that it would cost him no more than 2,000 yuan. Li ordered two bottles of wine and a fruit salad during the date and that cost Wang more than 6,000 yuan as the wine Li ordered was “fi ne imported wine.”
Li disappeared soon after making the order with an excuse of using the bathroom. After that, Wang couldn’t reach Li, making him realize that he had been defrauded by the woman, who is suspected of colluding with
the bar to sell wine at exorbitant prices.
Another scam happened to another man surnamed Zhang, who recently received piles of credit card bills on goods pur-chased by an ex-girlfriend he had met online.
Zhang fell for the woman after meeting her in person weeks after chatting online. He had never been in a romantic relationship before meeting the woman. Zhang could hardly resist the woman’s kind-ness and the two soon became romantically involved.
The woman persuaded Zhang to apply for several credit cards with various banks as she told Zhang that different banks would give discounts on certain
categories of consumption.Zhang gave all his credit cards
to the woman to please her when she asked to break up with him and he lost contact with her after she spent more than 100,000 yuan with Zhang’s credit cards.
In another case, the victim has been swindled out of more than 300,000 yuan by a woman he met online.
All of the three victims were single men who desired to fi nd true love and b l i n d l y t r u s t e d women they met online.

THE city’s legislative affairs offi ce will hold a hearing on its offi cial WeChat account on the draft regulation over the man-agement of drones Nov. 23.
The hearing will be held between 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. on the offi cial account, 深圳法制. The offi ce is inviting 20 rep-resentatives of drone making and marketing enterprises and 60 representatives from the general public. Those who intend to attend the hearing can register on the offi cial WeChat account before the Nov. 19 deadline.
According the draft regulation, which was released to the public Sept. 7, the city will designate certain areas that ban or restrict the fl ying of drones.
The restricted areas include airports and air routes, the 50-meter areas along railways, expressways and waterways, and the 100-meter areas around government offi ces, military restricted areas and sensitive units such as telecommunica-tions, power, water and energy supplies, and storage areas for chemicals and dangerous prod-ucts. In the 100-meter areas around transport hubs, railway stations, bus terminals, piers and ports, the 10-km areas on both sides of the airport’s runways and the 20-km areas at both ends of the runways, drones will also be banned, according to the draft regulation.
Those who fl y their drones in these areas will be fi ned 1,000 yuan (US$152). The draft also set technical standards for drone manufacturing. Manufacturers that fail to meet the standards will be ordered to suspend pro-duction and fi ned three times the value of the products.
The weight of drones should be between 0.25 kg and 7 kg. It should only fl y within a radius of 500 meters in the daytime and no higher than 120 meters above the ground.
Those who want to fl y in the restricted areas for special occa-sions, celebrations or other nec-essary work, such as rescue and surveying, need to get approval from the public security depart-ment beforehand. (Han Ximin)
Hearing on drone rules to be held
“I’VE always been proud of the digital services provided by all levels of government in Shenzhen, such as the online services of the public security department, which have been amazing. And I’ve often used and felt it was very conve-nient to use the car parking app, Yitingche, of the transport depart-ment. But I was embarrassed by an experience I had this morning,” read a post on a website.
The online post was made by a resident who complained that he had failed to park his car in four roadside parking spaces on
Xiangjing Road East in Yantian District while being guided by the app. In addition, the rea-sons were different each time, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported yesterday.
At fi rst, the resident parked his car in a roadside space and fol-lowed each step accurately on the app to pay for the parking, but in the end a note popped up saying that he had run out of time and should leave the parking space as soon as possible. He then tried another time and did it more quickly, but to no avail.
In desperation, he drove to another parking space a few meters away on the same street, but was told that the parking space was occupied by another vehicle.
On the fourth try, he drove his car into the parking space behind the previous one, but was told the operation was invalid. He then rebooted his mobile phone and tried the operation again, but with the same result.
Out of civic responsibility, the resident said he deemed it necessary to report the matter to the relevant departments
and dialed the service number, but was received by a recording instead of a human service.
At the end of the post, the driver suggested that behind the virtual app, there should be real services by the government; otherwise, the digital gap would remain. In addition, the service number should be a bridge that connects virtuality to reality.
The resident’s experience with the inconvenient car parking app was shared by many other motorists following his post.

A 37-YEAR-OLD man was severely injured after he acci-dentally fell down into an eleva-tor well in a Luohu building Nov. 7, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported yesterday.
According to the city’s market and quality supervision com-mission, the surveillance video showed that the man, surnamed Cai, used a key to open the door of the elevator on the ground fl oor
