Vung Tau: Motorbike taxi driver fabricated the story of being caught cheating his wife of mone.y, confessing to shoc.k

To pay off his debt and rent for his mistres.s, V. fabricated a kidnapping and asked his mistres.s to transfer 60 million VND. Authorities have stepped in to clarify the case.
According to Nguoi Lao Dong, on February 15, Vung Tau City Police (Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province) worked with Nguyen Hoang V. (born in 1980, living in Vung Tau City) to verify the act of property appropriation. Initial information, V. worked as a motorbike taxi driver. Due to needing mone.y to pay off debts and personal expenses, V. came up with the idea of making up a story about being kidnapped to appropriate mone.y from Ms. TN (born in 1982), who was living with him as if he were a married couple.

Accordingly, at noon on February 14, V. drove passengers from Vung Tau City to Long Khanh District (Dong Nai Province). Here, V. entered a rubber forest area and called Ms. N. crying, saying that he was tied up, "physically impacted" and asked to transfer 60 million VND to be released.
Fearing that V. was in danger, Ms. N. transferred 20 million VND to the account provided by V. and reported to the police. Under the direction of the Provincial Police Department, the Criminal Police Department of Ba Ria - Vung Tau Provincial Police, Vung Tau City Police coordinated with the Criminal Police Department - Ministry of Public Security, the Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention Department of the Provincial Police, and Dong Nai Provincial Police to quickly deploy forces to verify and clarify the matter.

At around 1:40 a.m. on February 15, the Working Group inspected the house of HQT (born in 1984) in Long Khanh district, Dong Nai province and discovered V. sleeping in T.'s house, and there were no signs of being tied up or "physically impacted".
The task force then invited the relevant subjects to Vung Tau City Police to continue the investigation. At the police station, V. confessed his wrongdoings and said that because he owed 38 million VND, he made up a story about being kidnapped to steal 60 million VND from his mistres.s.

The subject also confessed that during this time he knew another woman. If the sca.m was successful, in addition to paying off the debt, V. would use the remaining mone.y to spend and pay rent for his girlfriend named X.
Also on February 15, the Criminal Police Department of Tay Ninh Province Police arrested 24 people to investigate the act of using computer networks, telecommunications networks, and electronic means to commit fraud and appropriate property.

This move was carried out by Tay Ninh Provincial Police in coordination with the Criminal Police Department (Ministry of Public Security) and the Border Guard to screen 177 people who were recently detained by Cambodian authorities in Bavet City (Svayrieng Province, Cambodia).
According to initial investigation, the police determined that in Bavet City, HeYuki - the Chinese owner and a man named A Lung (manager) rented the 3rd and 4th floors, building 11, Kim Sa 4 area to establish a company to operate fraud.

The company set up many groups and assigned roles and tasks such as: management, backstage, sales, human resources, logistics... The groups worked separately, not knowing what other groups were doing. Here, Vietnamese employees were assigned the task of "scraping customers" (enticement to place bets, investments); "killin.g customers" (when customers no longer have mone.y, they will close their accounts, erase their traces)... The victims were mainly Vietnamese.
Specifically, when new employees start working, they will be instructed on how to sca.m and given computers and phones. Then, they will be trained to pretend on social networks to work for corporations, maintain casino business projects or online lotter.y in and out of the country to create trust.

In the process of approaching the victi.m, the scammer will exploit information about the property and then entice many reasons to send a link to help with gamblin.g and give winning results, easy withdrawal. Next, they invite customers to participate in gamblin.g, financial investment with the promise of high profits.
When the victi.m invests a larger amount, the system will block the withdrawal order and request more deposits to "free up the account". When the victi.m is no longer financially capable, the scammers will cu.t of.f contact, erase traces or "kil.l the customer" - the scammers' own term to refer to successfully enticing customers to deposit and transfer mone.y.
Most of the detainees said they were tricked into going to Cambodia with other jobs, but upon arrival they were beaten and forced to do fraudulent work. Currently, the Criminal Police Department of Tay Ninh province is coordinating with the Ministry of Public Security to determine the role of each suspect and arrest those involved.
