A teenager in Dongxiang, Zhejiang province, conned a businesswoman into giving him money after they met on an Internet dating website.

He convinced the woman he was a divorced man, older than 30, and was looking for a new girlfriend.

After they met, she liked him even after she realized he appeared to be much younger. Over two months, he borrowed 14,000 yuan ($2,046) from the woman and when she asked for it back, he paid her with counterfeit US dollars.

She called police when the bank told her the money was counterfeit.
