Sophisticated tricks to trick the former abbot of the pagoda in Vinh Long's huge amount of money: Fake being kidnapped, the "prey" is mainly female

Hardly anyone would have thought that a monastic would have the intention to appropriate such a large fortune!

Recently, defendant Pham Van Cung - former abbot of Phuoc Quang pagoda, and director of the Buddhist Orphanage Center of the Fountain of Love, was accused of defrauding women of nearly 68 billion VND. The People's Procuracy of Vinh Long province has issued an indictment against Cung and Nguyen Tuan Si (54 years old; living in Vinh Long City), together on the crime of "fraudulent appropriation of property".

During his tenure as abbot and director, Cung organized many programs and events to create a reputation for himself. Provide introduction to the victim is familiar with many senior leaders; make video clips about charity activities in which Cung is the main character to put on social networks. Through that, Cung promotes the image and creates trust for many people.

Taking advantage of the name of the temple and the Center, Cung tried to contact many people with economic conditions. Thereby, Cung introduced his charity work and raised himself about the difficult and difficult circumstances and conditions in raising orphans in order to make them sympathize and help. Cung also actively concocts bogus events to lend money.

Cung and Khoa used many sophisticated tricks to commit fraud. In addition, these two subjects also entice Nguyen Tuan Si to commit crimes. Currently, Le Nguyen Khoa is wanted. When Khoa is arrested, the functional forces will investigate and handle.

In total, Pham Van Cung borrowed more than VND 77.7 billion from 4 people for personal use, leading to inability to pay. After being denounced, Cung returned nearly 10 billion VND to the victims. Thus, the amount of money that Cung also appropriated is more than 67.7 billion VND.

Among the victims was Mrs. H. - a famous female singer. According to the indictment, in 2015, Pham Van Cung organized a cultural program at Phuoc Quang Pagoda to mobilize Buddhists and sponsors to contribute money to support the Fountain Center. At that time, Pham Van Cung invited female singer H. to participate in a cultural program, then regularly contacted each other.

In 2020, Pham Van Cung arose the intention to appropriate Mrs. H.'s money, so he went directly to the house of this female singer. Here, Cung said that he knew that singer H. had a friend in the UK who wanted to return to Vietnam to settle legally.

Cung also said that H. is in need of help with the procedures. At this time, Pham Van Cung "exploded" himself as "secret agent", "intelligence", often sent abroad... Pham Van Cung also said that he knew many high-ranking leaders. Pham Van Cung also gave gifts and forged documents to send to singer H. to create trust.

According to the indictment, practically all information, pictures and papers sent by Pham Van Cung to singer H. are fake. Pham Van Cung does not know anyone, nor does he have the conditions or ability to bring his friend singer H. to Vietnam to settle down as he said. However, during the conversation, Cung said he could help singer H.

Pham Van Cung asked female singer H. to pay the cost of 1 million USD and to transfer 50% in advance. Believe it, singer H. has transferred more than 13 billion VND to Cung. This amount, Cung transferred to the account of defendant Le Nguyen Khoa more than 9 billion VND.

After that, Khoa continued to transfer to 68 other people and used more than 100 million VND for personal consumption. The total amount of money Pham Van Cung performed fraudulent acts to appropriate singer H. is more than 13 billion.

Ms. NTHP (40 years old, in Ho Chi Minh City) said, the subject of Cung lied about the construction of the temple and the orphanage center was 6.5 billion dong short to borrow money. She immediately lent him 700 million dong.

More sophisticatedly, this monk "wonderfully" asked some porters at Lang Son border gate to pretend to be a kidnapper group using a phone number from China to contact Ms. P. The group threatened, one week She had to transfer enough money, otherwise Monk Cung would not be able to return home.

The "kidnapping" group let her talk to Cung on the phone, this monk "acted" extremely well when he said in a panicked voice, causing her to "fake news" and transferred them nearly 5.8 billion VND. Twice "stealed" a huge amount of money from Mrs. P. but the greed of monk Cung did not stop.

He texted Mrs. P. saying that he owed 7 billion dong and had to flee to China. For her to believe, he also sent a picture of himself hiding in the woods with foggy trees. Mrs. P. without any doubt, transferred the money to Cung. After that, she was also cheated by him for another 4.5 billion dong. Cung's tactic is still "lack of debt, so run away".

With TTAH victims (German overseas Vietnamese), Cung invited her to visit Suoi Nguoi Tinh Thuong Orphanage and repeatedly pretended to complain of difficulties and lack of money to feed the children here to ask for her help. The supply "borrowed" her more than 7 billion dong.

The victim of natural disasters (Hanoi) said that she was lured by Mr. Cung to take a total of about 30 billion VND. As an excuse to owe money to build Phuoc Quang pagoda, to build the Spring Source of Love Orphanage for her to lend. "Mr. Cung took advantage of the pity of the children to strike our pity to appropriate property," the source said, citing the denunciation of Ms. N.

HTY victim (57 years old, from Hung Yen province) was appropriated by Cung with more than 17 billion VND. When getting to know her in 2018, Cung "exploded" himself as the "International Envoy of the Committee for Commendation and Commendation of Buddhism" of a foreign country. Later, he also returned to Hung Yen to meet Mrs. Y. When the "prey" had bitten the fish, Cung made up stories for the other party to transfer money. He even borrowed money to buy a car.
