Love Cheat

A man from Osaka, Japan, has been arrested after going to an awful lot of trouble to receive birthday gifts and cards. Takashi Miyagawa allegedly juggled 35 different girlfriends in order to get a year-long stream of presents. He allegedly supplied the women with different birthdates throughout the year and is accused of defrauding them by pretending to be romantically interested in them to get the gifts of money and clothing, which were worth a total of about 100,000 yen, or roughly $1175. The 39 year old – whose true birthday is on November 13, though he is accused of telling three of the women it was on February 22, in April, and in July – met the women while selling hydrogen water shower heads though a marketing company. His alleged scheme was exposed when the women discovered what he was up to, formed a victim’s association, and reported him to the police.
