Peeling off the mask of scammers who label overseas women and businessmen

Those who are directors and presidents of the company are investigated for fraud

“Drawing cake” of the president, director

Dressed in fashion, regularly checking in at luxurious places to show off her wealth, being stylish, always “exploding” about big investment projects, but in reality a president, director, and overseas woman is just a fraud. , has left many victims empty-handed.

Typically, Nguyen Van Dung (born in 1984, residing in Ha Dong) – General Director of Gia Nguyen Group Vision Joint Stock Company, which runs a loss-making company, has set up a scam to contribute capital through the purchase of advertising screens. . Dung directed staff to open classes to entice people in Hanoi and other provinces and cities to pour money into the project.

To build trust, Dung often appears in the guise of a rich businessman going to Mercedes Maybach and business and getting rich clips on Youtube. Along with that, Dung covered the eyes of investors with an advertising screen production facility that borrowed the location of friends… in just a few months, 400 investors contributed an amount of 43 billion VND to the “ghost project” ” this.

Also with the above trick, Phung Thi Nghe (SN 1985, resident in Ho Chi Minh City) – Chairman of the Board of Directors of Viet Hung Phat Group Joint Stock Company was accused of defrauding hundreds of billions of dong of many people through capital contribution to business. petroleum business and opening a bank.

On social networking sites, Nghe posted luxurious images in the splendid “mansion” and invited them to play, making longtime business people also become victims. In which, someone transferred to Nghe to contribute capital up to 260 billion VND.

Similarly, Au Thi Thanh Hang (SN 1996, residing in Nghe An) did not have a stable career but introduced herself as a successful real estate entrepreneur, calling on investors to “joint capital” to appropriate money. After creating trust, Hang made a deposit contract on his own, forged a certificate of land use rights and then transferred it to land investors, appropriating many billions of dong.

Many victims are tricked into working as a sales associate

Donkey trap, need to be careful

In addition to the above-mentioned tricks, the Criminal Police Department (CSHS) of the Ministry of Public Security warned that recently, the crime of fraud to appropriate property in cyberspace has become complicated, occurring nationwide with many procedures. subtle passage.

Talking about this situation, Colonel Hoang Nam Phuong – Deputy Head of the Department of Guidance and Investigation of High-Tech Crimes and Foreign Elements (Department of CSHS) said that among the fraudulent tricks can be mentioned: pretending to be a network operator to call to announce that they won a prize of great value, if they want to receive the victim, they must pay an amount into the account designated by them. Or the trick of impersonating a bank officer to call the victim to notify the money has been transferred but it is faulty and must provide the subject with the card number and OTP code to get it back.

In addition, the form of pretending to be the police, the prosecutor’s office, the court, etc., calling the victim to request money transfer is causing public outrage because of the large amount of property appropriated and the victims of all ages.

“They are gullible and have inadequate access to procedures and regulations in investigative activities in general and the proceedings in particular, never working by phone,” said Colonel Phuong. , when it comes to people’s assets, the investigating agency must invite them to the headquarters to work, not ask to transfer money to the account.

The cause may be due to the victim’s fear of trouble, the psychology of wanting to “ask” for the matter, and being influenced by the subjects in the psychological development by calling repeatedly, leading to insufficient time to determine what is wrong. real, fake and do as they ask.

In addition, Colonel Phuong added that one trick that is flourishing today is recruiting collaborators to handle orders on the e-commerce platform. Although the amount appropriated from each victim is not large, many people fall into the trap.

The subjects set up Facebook disguised as e-commerce and ran ads to recruit collaborators. When the victim contacts them, they will ask to send personal information via Zalo to advise participation and receive a link to confirm the order, and request money to be transferred to the designated account to do the task.

“Initially, subjects will get a full refund with 3-20% commission. If they want to upgrade, the victim must join orders of higher value, whoever transfers money will be appropriated by them …” – Colonel Phuong informed.

Two subjects Tien (left) and Tung

The CSHS has just coordinated with the Bac Giang Provincial Police to arrest two subjects Mai Thanh Tung (SN 1992) and Vu Van Tien (SN 1994, living in Thanh Hoa) for fraudulent acts of appropriating property. According to the investigation, Tung knew that some individuals and companies doing business in conditional lines must have a fire protection certificate to operate, so they discussed with Tien pretending to be a police officer to call to request 3-5 days training with funding. 2-6 million VND/person.

When the “prey” bit the hook, Tung sent them a protective suit and asked to pay the training fee to the postal staff. The total number of victims of the subjects is up to thousands of people and the amount of money appropriated is billions of dong.
