Through verification, it was found that Ms. Han met White through social networks and was promised marriage and living abroad by White. After a period of talking, White told Ms. Han that he had a large sum of money that needed to be transferred to Ms. Han's account and asked Ms. Han to withdraw it and give it to Daniel.

Believing her "lover"'s words, Mrs. Han followed White's instructions.
