The popular messaging platform WeChat is famous for its proximity chatting feature. And also, prostitutes. Recently, a group of Chinese men in their twenties hacked WeChat and posed as women looking for some love for money.

Unfortunately for them, they were caught. The hackers were arrested at a flat in Jingshan county in Hubei province.


They posed as prostitutes in Malaysia and Singapore, and the five hackers from central China used software to distort their location to message men in Singapore and Malaysia.


They also made money. Allegedly: $110,000. They offered their services for $107 for two hours or $214 for an entire night under the impression that they were local prostitutes in the area.


This is a lesson you'll want to remember: don't message back people you don't know.
