What's more, she was able to cheat them out of a total of 220,000 yuan (US$26,500).
Gao, 37, a jobless woman in Baoji of Shaanxi Province, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for her fraudulent activities.
Pretending to be a company manager in Shanghai, Gao made "girlfriends" online during April 2003 and June 2004.
Each believed wholeheartedly that Gao was a "him" and gave money to her to help her out of troubles she had made up.
Her trick was not discovered until one of the girlfriends from Beijing went to Baoji to meet her "man." Unable to find "him," the woman reported the scam to police, the Xinhua News Agency reports.
