A convicted con artist faces trial in Beijing for allegedly tricking her victims out of thousands of pounds by posing as a “superhuman” Communist Party official and police agent named “Mr. Li.”

Ms. Yang regaled her girlfriend with tales of how “Mr. Li” had helped Interpol crack “major” international cases.

A Chinese con-woman created a “superhuman” alter ego and claimed she possessed powers of invisibility in order to dupe her victims out of at least £12,000.

The 54-year-old fraudster, named only as Ms. Yang, tricked two female lovers and one pensioner into believing she was actually “Mr. Li,” a “superhuman” police officer who not only worked for both Interpol and the Chinese Ministry of Finance but was also able to make himself disappear.

The confidence trickster’s supernatural cover was blown last August when one victim discovered she had been sharing a bed not with Mr. Li but with a convicted fraudster who was in fact a woman.
