A 19-year-old girl in China who jokingly posted on WeChat that she was looking for casual sex ended up being swamped with calls and visitors to her hotel room, China Press reported.
Nicknamed “Qian Jin Yi Yi”, she checked into a hotel in Sanya city and uploaded a video of herself clad in lingerie posing suggestively.
In the post, she wrote: “Who is coming to look for me, for sex, for free, 6316” (her hotel room number).
Her post was quickly shared across different social media as visitors thronged the hotel and thousands more tried to call her.
Police had to be called in after the hotel’s operations were affected by the influx of visitors and calls.

The teenager, a blogger identified as Ms Ye, admitted to the police that she had intentionally posted the message online to attract followers, Mail Online reported.
According to reports, she was given a 15-day detention and a 500 yuan ($104) fine.
