A woman in Linyi of East China's Shandong Province has frequently been harassed by calls from strange men asking her on dates.

After an investigation was conducted, the woman, surnamed Li, found that her personal information such as age, home address and phone numbers was posted on a dating website.

The police targeted Wang, an acquaintance of Li's, as the suspect. Wang admitted that she tried to embarrass Li because she envied her appearance and job.

Wang received a serious warning from the police and was fined 200 yuan (US$25).
