Trying to 'save' her cryptocurrency, a woman was scammed out of nearly 1 billion VND in real money.

The Investigation Police Department of Ha Tinh province has just issued a decision to initiate a criminal case, indict the suspect, and issue an arrest warrant for Nghiem Van Hung (born in 1996, residing in Yen Phu commune, Yen Phong district, Bac Ninh province) for the crime of "Fraudulent appropriation of property".

Previously, Ms. NTH (born in 1983, residing in Cam Xuyen district, Ha Tinh province) used her Facebook account to view news articles and saw a post by the account "Keng Ken" used by Nghiem Van Hung in the "Lion Group" group with the content: "Anyone who has lost money on the FXT Trading Market platform, please inbox me so I can help you get it back."

Because she had previously gambled and lost money on the FXT platform, Ms. H messaged the account "Keng Ken" on Messenger, telling them about her past gambling experience.cryptocurrencyand lost money. After that, Hung hired a taxi to travel from Bac Ninh to Ms. NTH's house in Ha Tinh.

Hung asked Ms. H to transfer 50 million VND in advance to an account under the name Nghiem Van Hung. Hung said he would use this money to pay off his debts.

Then, Hung said that with 50 million VND, it would take a long time to recover the debt, about 20 days, but if she had 1.3 billion to 1.5 billion VND, he could recover it for Ms. H within 17 hours. Trusting Hung's information, Ms. H borrowed 900 million VND from friends and transferred it to him.

After receiving the money, Hung transferred it all to a family member's account and told Ms. H that all the money was gone. Then, Hung told Ms. H that he had been fired and had gone to Go Vap District, Ho Chi Minh City, to cut off all contact.

With the money he embezzled from Ms. H, Hung paid off debts to several people and bought a Honda City RS car.
