Previously, Ms. NTH (born in 1983, residing in Cam Xuyen district, Ha Tinh province) used her Facebook account to see the above news article and saw the account "Keng Ken" used by Nghiem Van Hung posting on the group "Lion Group" with the content "Whoever has lost money on the FXT Trading Market floor, inbox me to take it back".
Because she had previously played and lost money at FXT, Ms. H sent a Messenger message to the account "Keng Ken" about playing.virtual moneyand lost money. After that, Hung hired a taxi from Bac Ninh to Ms. NTH's house in Ha Tinh.
Hung asked Ms. H to transfer 50 million VND in advance to the account number under the name Nghiem Van Hung. Hung used this money to pay off all the debt.
Then, Hung said that with 50 million VND, it would take a long time to recover, about 20 days, if there was about 1.3 billion - 1.5 billion VND, Hung would recover it for Ms. H within 17 hours. Trusting the information Hung gave, Ms. H borrowed 900 million VND from friends to transfer to the subject.
After receiving the money, Hung transferred it all to his family's account and told Ms. H that all the money had been lost. After that, Hung continued to tell Ms. H that he had been fired and had gone to Go Vap District, Ho Chi Minh City to cut off contact.
With the money he embezzled from Ms. H, Hung paid off debts to some people and bought a Honda City RS car.
