Forty-eight-year-old Wang Ying, who claimed to be an official at the Ministry of Public Security, bilked a man out of 175,000 yuan ($28,000) on a promise that he would help him get a certification for a Beijing-registered car. After receiving the money, Wang fled to Qinhuangdao in Hebei province with his girlfriend. Wang was convicted of fraud and forgery and sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison, Beijing Times reported on Monday.
