On the morning of June 25, the Nghe An provincial police announced that they had just coordinated with relevant forces to dismantle a crime gang operating in Myanmar and the Philippines using high technology to commit online fraud across countries, initially arresting nearly 100 individuals. The fraud group had appropriated over 2,000 billion VND from Vietnamese citizens.
The provincial police's investigative agency has prosecuted and temporarily detained the defendants for the crime of 'Fraudulent appropriation of property'.
In this ring, the two leaders who have been arrested include Phan Dinh Thinh (born 1995) and Le Thi Tra (born 1999, both residing in Hung Dao commune, Hung Nguyen district, Nghe An province).
According to the investigation agency, previously, the Criminal Investigation Department of Nghe An police discovered an organized crime gang using high technology across countries, led directly by a foreign individual with the participation of many Vietnamese individuals.
This gang has 2 branches headquartered in Myanmar and the Philippines. Each branch of the group is managed by a Vietnamese individual, operating in a company model, with divisions assigned to different departments.
The individuals involved in the fraud were all 'trained' according to a fraud script and a counter-response script to handle law enforcement when arrested. The total number of individuals participating in the fraud organization at both branches reached over 300 people.
The individuals participating in the fraud organization at these 2 branches were trained and guided on how to commit fraud according to the script of 'performing tasks to transfer money to buy goods on the e-commerce platform to receive extremely high commissions' or the romantic fraud script - befriending and dating, which the fraudsters developed and designed in a very strict step-by-step process to create trust, thereby manipulating and leading the victim's psychology.
The group used unregistered Facebook accounts to post images of beautiful, wealthy women to seek out successful, wealthy men, then befriended them and messaged them to build a relationship. Afterward, the perpetrators would guide the victims to connect via Viber for convenience in communication.
From Viber, after chatting for about 2 days, the perpetrators would invite the victims to invest by having the victims perform tasks to help the 'character' in order to receive gifts from the e-commerce platform.
For the initial tasks, the victims would receive 'commission money, along with principal money' to build trust. Once customers trusted and followed along, the perpetrators would continue to ask customers to perform additional tasks, with the amount of money needed for products becoming increasingly large, but no refunds were provided due to 'system errors, wrong syntax', leading the victims to continue to deposit more money to perform additional tasks, which were all appropriated.
The individuals in the crime gang continuously recruited people from Vietnam through Myanmar and the Philippines to commit fraud activities. The individuals traveled by plane through Thailand legally, then crossed the border illegally into Myanmar or flew directly from Vietnam to the Philippines to join the crime organization.
After the investigation process, on June 23, the Criminal Investigation Department of Nghe An police coordinated with related units to mobilize hundreds of officers and soldiers to establish multiple task forces that successfully broke the case, simultaneously arresting and searching nearly 100 suspects in Nghe An and many provinces across the country, including many who were apprehended right after entering Vietnam.
Initially, the suspects confessed to having committed hundreds of fraud cases that appropriated property from Vietnamese citizens nationwide, estimated to exceed 2,000 billion VND.
Especially with this method, the crime group defrauded a victim in Ho Chi Minh City of over 41 billion VND and a victim in Nghe An province of over 15.4 billion VND.
