A man in south China's island province of Hainan has been arrested for fraud for operating a phony official Olympics Web site, local police said Sunday.
Twenty-year-old Liao Peigui, who works as a computer engineer, is suspected of making 400,000 yuan (52,630 U.S. dollars) by goading people into entering fake prize draws on a Web site he "cloned" from the official one of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2008 Olympic Games (BOCOG).
The man has admitted the crime, police said.
China launched a six-month campaign this April targeting online pornography, illegal lotteries, contraband trade and fraud.
