On the afternoon of August 29, the Criminal Police Department of Da Nang City Police announced that it had just discovered 5 subjects who used computer networks, telecommunications networks and electronic means to commit fraud and appropriate property of more than 400 people.

It is known that recently, many victims have come to Da Nang City Police to report that criminals used tricks to take control of Facebook and impersonate them to borrow money and defraud others.

After a period of synchronous application of professional measures, the Criminal Police Department of Da Nang Police identified a group of subjects from Quang Tri and Quang Ngai who were renting a house in Ngu Hanh Son District, Da Nang City to live and regularly went to internet cafes to commit crimes.
