Fraudster scams dozens of hotels using condoms and dead cockroaches
The man lived for free in Chinese hotels for almost a year: he planted dead cockroaches and used condoms in the rooms, and then demanded that the money for his stay be returned to him. This was reported by the Hong Kong newspaper South China Morning Post (SCMP).
The 21-year-old man, surnamed Jiang, went on a trip to China last September using money he had saved for his studies, SCMP reported. From November 2023, he decided to deceive hotel employees in order to stay in them for free.

According to Chinese police, Jiang stayed at more than 380 hotels in ten months, and in many cases the cost of the reservation was returned to his bank account. Sometimes a man would stay in three or four hotels during the day.
Jiang threw used condoms, hair, dead cockroaches and cicadas into the rooms, threatened employees that he would write a complaint or publish a negative review, and demanded compensation for his stay. Sometimes he was able to convince staff to check him in for free by pointing out minor deficiencies in the hotel's operations, a police source said.

Jiang's scam was discovered in August this year when a hotel manager reported to police that a guest had tried to extort $55 by complaining about hygiene problems. During a search, Jiang was found to have 23 bags of insects and used condoms, which he had placed in his rooms.
Jiang admitted to police that he defrauded 63 hotels in five Chinese provinces out of $5,200. His case has already been transferred to the prosecutor's office.
