Arrested a company taking advantage of illegal sales seminars in Dong Van (Thanh Chuong)

(Baonghean.vn) - At exactly 10:15 p.m. on June 3, the police force of Dong Van commune (Thanh Chuong) raided the cultural house of Luan Son hamlet and caught employees of Toan Cau Science and Technology Development Joint Stock Company taking advantage of a conference to sell products not in accordance with the official dispatch of the Department of Industry and Trade; advertising and selling functional foods without permission from the authorities.

The situation of companies racing to localities in the province to ask for permission to organize seminars to introduce and promote technology but in reality to sell products has been flourishing recently. Most of the products have high prices but low quality. Many companies also do not comply with regulations by not reporting to local authorities, selling products without permission...

Through the hotline, Nghe An Newspaper received information that currently in Dong Van commune (Thanh Chuong), Toan Cau Science and Technology Development Joint Stock Company is organizing a consulting conference to introduce multi-purpose pan products with signs of violating regulations. This company is free to "do whatever it wants" because it has the "treasure" of Official Dispatch No. 312/SCT-QLTM of the Department of Industry and Trade and Official Dispatch No. 28/PCT of the Thanh Chuong District Industry and Trade Department agreeing to allow the company to organize a seminar to introduce CH multi-purpose pan products.

However, this is just a trick of this company to advertise products and sell high prices to people. Not only that, this company also openly advertises and sells functional foods without permission from the authorities. After receiving the people's feedback, Chairman of Dong Van Commune People's Committee, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Chuong requested the police force to conduct an inspection, if any violations are found, they will be suspended, a record will be made and transferred to the authorities for handling.

At exactly 10:15 p.m. on June 3, the commune police force coordinated with the Thanh Chuong district police force to raid the Luan Son hamlet cultural house and caught the employees of Toan Cau Science and Technology Development Joint Stock Company in the act of organizing the sale of functional foods to 5 people. During the inspection, the employees of Toan Cau Science and Technology Development Joint Stock Company could not produce any legal documents related to their activities of selling functional foods.

The inspection team made a record of the incident, confiscated the exhibits and invited all company employees to the commune People's Committee headquarters for questioning. Here, the company employees admitted that selling functional foods was against regulations. The commune police force sealed all exhibits and is completing the documents to submit to the competent authority for handling according to regulations.

Nghe An Newspaper reporter recorded images of the inspection on the night of June 3 in Dong Van commune:

On June 1, Toan Cau Science and Technology Development Joint Stock Company came to Dong Van commune to organize a workshop and introduce its products. However, that was just an excuse for the company to sell its multi-purpose pans to the people at an exorbitant price of 1,540 thousand VND/piece.

On the packaging, the product is labeled as “Made in Vietnam”. However, there is no information on the product. People who buy the product are not issued invoices or documents by the company.

On the evening of June 3, Toan Cau Science and Technology Development Joint Stock Company continued to organize a workshop to introduce multi-purpose pan products at the cultural house of Luan Son hamlet (Dong Van commune, Thanh Chuong district).

There were about 80 people from Luan Son hamlet attending the conference. Before that, the company had worked with the hamlet chief of Luan Son hamlet to borrow the hall and ask for invitations to be distributed to all households in the hamlet.

To attract people, the company also gave away a promotional gift of a functional food box called Hoat Huyet Duong Nao to attendees.

In addition to the multi-purpose pan, company staff also introduce and sell functional foods such as blood circulation and brain nourishment boxes and herbal wine.

However, the company staff did not say this was a functional food but said it was a spray that could reduce pain in the knees, neck, spine...

People thought this was medicine so they enthusiastically bought it, at the price of 100,000 VND/bottle (with a box of blood circulation and brain nourishment).

Upon discovering the incident, the Dong Van commune police force, led by Mr. Nguyen Van Thong - Commune Police Chief, requested to temporarily stop the seminar to inspect the company's sales activities.

After the company failed to provide relevant documents, the inspection team made a record of the incident, requesting the company to immediately stop selling illegal goods and return the money to the people.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc An, an employee of Global Science and Technology Development Joint Stock Company, signed the minutes admitting that the company sold functional foods in violation of regulations.

The inspection team made a record and confiscated the evidence, which was the number of functional food products that the company's employees had sold to 5 residents of Luan Son hamlet.

At the headquarters of the People's Committee of Dong Van commune, Chairman of the People's Committee Nguyen Quoc Chuong (white shirt, left) announced the company's violations and requested the commune police to make a record of the meeting, take statements to complete the dossier and transfer it to the competent authority for handling according to regulations.

It is known that in addition to Luan Son hamlet, the company also sold hundreds of bottles of this herbal wine to people in 3 hamlets Luan Hong, Luan Phuong, and Tien Kieu (Dong Van commune).
