According to local media, the woman from China spent three years holding 16 different positions in corporations and did not come to any of the companies.
According to the Chinese state newspaper “Xinmin”, the woman, known under the pseudonym Guan Yue, took part in a massive employee fraud that allegedly brought in almost $7 million.
The newspaper claims that Guan kept a record of all her employments on a piece of paper, and when she had her next job interview, she posted photos from those meetings on other companies’ internal messaging apps, pretending to have meetings with clients.
When she received more job offers than she could accept, she passed them on to a friend and charged a commission.

The newspaper reported this information as part of an extensive investigation.
The woman used the money she earned in this way, which she transferred through many bank accounts, to buy an apartment in Shanghai.
The entire operation, which involved hundreds of companies, came to light in January. The president of one internet technology company, identified by the newspaper as Liu Jian, discovered that one of his employees was working for another company at the same time.
Liu hired an eight-person sales team that seemed impressive at first, but showed no real progress after a three-month trial period.
He fired them, and shortly thereafter, the leader of the just-fired sales group, described by the newspaper under the pseudonym Yang Hong, accidentally shared a photo on an internal company channel that indicated he worked for another company. This prompted Liu to notify the police.
Ultimately, 53 people were arrested in connection with the case.
Xinmin says this type of fraud is a huge problem in China, where an estimated 700-800 groups regularly accept multiple orders from employers.
According to the newspaper, they are experts in hiring employees, become excellent interlocutors and boast impeccable, although false, CVs.
When exposed, cases are rarely treated as crimes and are instead resolved under employment law, which the groups have become increasingly adept at.
According to the newspaper, in one case, the group infiltrated a company by positioning a member as a human resources representative who then hired the rest.
