Man goes undercover to save lover from scammers

A woman in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, would have lost a lot of money to a pyramid scheme had it not been for her boyfriend who joined the scam only to get the masterminds busted.

The man, surnamed Fang, collected evidence against the operators of the pyramid scheme and informed the police, leading to the arrest of more than 100 representatives.
