A man from Kunming, capital of Yunnan province, was cheated of all his belongings when he came to Mianyang in Sichuan province to meet his female net friend.

Named Dong Xin, the 19-year-old met the girl online early this month and traveled to Mianyang to meet her after she claimed to be a local college student.

The two met at Mianyang Railway Station on Dec 7 and toured the city together.

Later that day they checked in at an inn and the girl suggested Dong take a bath.

When he finished he found she had disappeared with all his belongings including money, mobile phone and even clothes.

The hotel owner gave Dong a pair of pants, but police stopped him at the railway station wearing just a vest.

When they learned he had been swindled, they bought him a ticket and sent him on his way.
