The Criminal Police Department (Ministry of Public Security) recently issued a decision to prosecute Le Thi Phi Nga (51 years old), Ngo Thi Ngoc Lan (28 years old), Nguyen Trung Kien (42 years old, residing in Hanoi) and 3 other people. Another crime is using computer networks, telecommunications networks to appropriate property.
Accordingly, at the end of 2021, a number of bank branches in the southern region reported to the Criminal Police Department that many bank customers lost money in their accounts for unknown reasons.
By January 2022, the forces of Division 7 – Criminal Police Department discovered Tran Thuy Anh (29 years old, in Hanoi) using a fake identity card to go to a bank branch in Cau Giay district to withdraw 800 million VND. .
From the woman’s testimony, the police detained two people accompanying her, Le Thi Phi Nga and Nguyen Trung Kien.
The investigation results showed that Le Thi Phi Nga played the role of mastermind and leader of the line. From 2021, Russia assigns Kien and Le Thi Lien Huong (50 years old, in Hanoi) to sneak into forums and social networks to collect information of football betting accounts, record lotteries, video games to give Lan.
Notably, the accused group also spent money to hire a number of detective companies to find data about personal accounts such as citizen identification numbers, signature samples or phone numbers using Internet banking services.
In addition, Ngo Thi Ngoc Lan is also accused of taking advantage of relationships at some banks to collect account information and signature samples of customers to let her accomplices imitate the victim’s signature.
When acquiring a system of personal data of many people, Le Thi Phi Nga and the defendants continued to hire people to forge citizen IDs and identity cards of people.
After that, Thuy Anh and Cuong brought their identification documents to the branch of the telecommunications company to report the loss of the SIM, from which they were re-issued with a new phone number by the network operator with the same number as the owner of the account in use.
Once the documents and phone numbers have been obtained, the members of the group are assigned to bring their identification documents and the owner’s phone number to the bank branch for withdrawal transactions.
In order to pass the last step of verifying the customer’s portrait, the group that committed the crime used even more sophisticated tricks.
Specifically, the defendants who took advantage of the complicated situation of the Covid-19 epidemic should wear masks when transacting.
At that time, many banks or network carriers did not thoroughly require customers to remove masks for identification. Therefore, Ms. Nga’s group easily used fake documents to bypass the opponent.
According to the investigation, after having enough identification documents and phone number, the fraud group reported losing the bank account password to be re-issued with new information with OTP code. Finally, the accused directly went to the transaction place to withdraw or transfer money.
In nearly a year, Phi Nga’s group has carried out more than 10 money transfers, appropriating over 17 billion VND. After that, Ms. Nga and 5 defendants divided this amount.
