Frauds imprisoned
11/8/2004 16:28

The Luwan District People's Court yesterday sentenced two local residents surnamed Gu and Ni to 6 1/2 years in prison for fraud. They were both salesmen with a real estate agency. They demanded 50,000 yuan (US$6,024) from a buyer as deposit although they knew the seller wasn't willing to sell his apartment any more in September, 2002. They later asked for 100,000 yuan more from the buyer and split the money.
