One crafty female from China has performed the ultimate hustle to raise funds for a home deposit.
The scheme involved a lady convincing her 20 boyfriends to buy her 20 new iPhone 7s, which she then sold for enough money to put a down payment on a house.
Using the pseudonym Proud Qiaoba, a blogger gave a detailed description on how the hustle was performed by a colleague of hers, dubbed Xiaoli.
While the legitimacy of the story might sound dubious at first, the BBC reported it has been able authenticate the claims.
Proud Qiaoba said she was utterly surprised when Xiaoli revealed she sold 20 iPhones to a mobile phone recycling plant for A$23,200 (NZ$24,600) and then used that money for her house deposit.
