More suspects arrested in fraud ring worth over 100 billion VND.
The police have detained Duong Huu Cuong (born in 2003, from Thai Binh province) for investigation into the crime of fraud and appropriation of property.
On March 11th, the Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention Department, in coordination with the Criminal Police Department of Binh Duong Provincial Police, detained another suspect in a large-scale fraud ring. This is the result of an expanded investigation into a case involving the fraudulent buying and selling of bank accounts worth over 100 billion VND, carried out by a group of suspects including Huynh Thi Kim Oanh, Le Ly Thanh, and Dao Trong Quan. Cuong, a drug addict and unemployed individual, was persuaded by Oanh to participate in opening bank accounts, which he then used or resold to individuals in Cambodia for fraudulent purposes.
To carry out the crime, Cuong sent photos of his face to Oanh and Thanh to create two fake identity cards. Afterward, Cuong and his accomplices used the business licenses of several companies to register and open approximately nine accounts at various banks.
For each account registered under Cuong's name, Oanh paid him 1.5 million VND. Additionally, Oanh had an agreement with Cuong that whenever money was deposited into the account and successfully withdrawn, Oanh would give Cuong 3-4 million VND.
The police checked the bank accounts that Cuong had opened and found that two victims had transferred a total of 194 million VND into these accounts. Cuong confessed that this was money that Oanh's group had defrauded through impersonating government officials and financial investments.
