Arrest of subject who cheated on job applications and appropriated billions

On March 26, the Hanoi City Police Investigation Agency announced that it had prosecuted and temporarily detained Nguyen Van Diep to investigate and clarify the act of fraud and property appropriation.

Subject Nguyen Van Diep (born 1984), residing in Phuong Xa commune, Cam Khe district, Phu Tho province.

According to initial investigation documents of the police agency, Nguyen Van Diep finished 12/12 in his hometown then went to Hanoi to find a job and rented a room in lane 10, Lang Ha street, Thanh Cong ward, Ba Dinh district.

In September 2015, through relationships in Hanoi, this subject introduced himself to some acquaintances who were working at a bank on Cat Linh Street, Dong Da District, Hanoi and had many relationships, with the ability to apply to study and work in the People's Public Security force as well as in some other important State agencies.

Believing in Diep, Mr. Nguyen Van P. (born in 1980), in Mai Dich ward, Cau Giay district, Hanoi and Ms. Le Thu H. (born in 1981), in Quang Xuong district, Thanh Hoa province, invited many acquaintances who wanted to study and apply for jobs in the People's Public Security force, as well as some other fields, to submit their applications and money to Nguyen Van Diep.

To successfully carry out the fraud, Diep went online to research information related to recruitment and employment in the People's Public Security force as well as a number of other sectors.

Besides bragging and boasting to make customers believe it is real, giving money and job or school application documents to the subject, another sophisticated trick that Diep applied to deceive victims of fraud and embezzlement was giving the victims a fake appointment paper and his phone number, but saying that it was the number of the person responsible for recruiting or recruiting workers.

After that, the subject made an appointment for the victims to come at a certain time to check the phone and Diep personally answered the phone and then made an appointment for the victims to come to the gate of some State agencies to meet the responsible people to pick them up.

However, after the victim arrived at the meeting place, he met Diep and the subject used this or that reason to take back the appointment paper, avoiding the police from detecting his fraudulent behavior and then cutting off contact.

According to the police, initial investigation results determined that the number of victims in the fraud cases caused by Diep was up to nearly 40 cases.

The investigation agency has clarified that the amount of money Nguyen Van Diep received from his "partners" and promised to "get" them jobs and school places was up to more than 7 billion VND.

Nguyen Van Diep has paid back about 4 billion VND to some victims, still owing more than 3 billion VND.
