Many people choose to use dating software to make friends online. Fraud gangs take advantage of poor software management and use ambiguous words to induce users to recharge and defraud users of their money.

In 2022, Zong, a resident of Jixi City, Heilongjiang, downloaded a local dating app called "Moqing" and soon many female users took the initiative to contact him. Zong recharged more than 20,000 yuan, but did not even add the other party's WeChat ID, let alone meet.
