Beautiful girl claiming to be an airport customs officer is wanted by the police

During the investigation, the Criminal Police Department of Hai Duong Province Police investigated and clarified Thao's criminal behavior; issued a nationwide wanted notice for the subject.

Recounting the incident, Mr. Nhu Duc V and Mr. Bui Van L (both residing in Hai Duong City, Hai Duong Province) said: Mr. V and Mr. L worked in the phone trading business. At the end of 2017, through social relationships, Mr. L and Mr. V met Thao, at that time the subject was living with her husband in Cam Giang District.

After a few meetings, Thao introduced herself as having worked at the Noi Bai Airport Customs Branch - Hanoi Customs Department but then quit her job. However, Thao still had a relationship with her former colleagues, so she knew that at the Noi Bai Airport Customs Branch, there was a shipment of mobile phones including Iphone X, Iphone 7 Plus and Nokia 8800 waiting to be liquidated. If Mr. V and Mr. L wanted to buy them, they would give Thao money and she would ask an acquaintance to buy the liquidated phones.

Subject Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao.

Believing Thao's words, at the end of 2017, Mr. L asked Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy H (in Cam Giang) to transfer 570 million VND to Thao. After handing over the above amount, that same evening Mr. L and Ms. H continued to meet Thao in Hanoi and gave this subject another 30 million VND.

On December 5, 2017, Mr. V asked Mr. Ha Thanh H (residing in Binh Han Ward, Hai Duong City) to hold 1.1 billion VND and give it to Thao to buy cheap liquidated phones. After receiving the above amount, Thao wrote a receipt and gave it back to Mr. H and gave it to Mr. V.

However, after receiving the money, Thao often avoided and did not meet Mr. L and Mr. V. When the two victims pressed for the money, Thao gave the excuse that the goods were late and could not be delivered. After waiting many times but still not seeing Thao bring the phone back, Mr. L asked this subject to bring the money to pay. Thao returned to Mr. L 160 million VND and 2 Iphone X phones, worth 48 million VND. After that, Mr. L and V could not contact Thao.

On November 23, 2018, the Investigation Police Agency of Hai Duong Province issued a decision to prosecute a case of fraud and property appropriation. In early 2019, a decision was made to prosecute Thao for the above crime.

During the investigation, the Hai Duong Provincial Police Department issued a wanted notice for Thao for fraud and property appropriation. While the case was under investigation, the Hai Duong Provincial Police Department continued to receive complaints and letters denouncing Thao's criminal acts.

During the investigation, on September 7, the Criminal Police Department of Hai Duong Province Police determined that Thao also committed acts of abuse of trust to appropriate property. Thao's victim in this case was Mr. Vu Trong N (residing in Cam Giang District), a relative of Thao.

Around September 2017, Thao also told Mr. N that she could buy a liquidation phone at a cheaper price than the market price. By mid-September 2017, Mr. N ordered Thao to buy 5 iPhone Xs for him at 21 million VND each and gave Thao 105 million VND.

About 2 weeks later, Thao delivered 5 phones to Mr. N as above, which made Mr. N trust her. Therefore, around November 2017, when Thao told Mr. N that there was a batch of Iphone X but he had to buy the whole batch of 90 phones to get the goods quickly and the price of each phone was 16 million VND, he immediately agreed.

Mr. N agreed to buy 47 phones from Thao and paid 146 million VND to this person twice. In addition, Mr. N also asked Ms. Do Thi Thanh H (residing in Hai Ba Trung district, Hanoi) to transfer money 5 times with a total of 606 million VND to Thao via her bank account. After receiving the money, Thao paid 47 Iphone X phones to Mr. N.

Around the end of 2017, Thao continued to tell Mr. N that there was another batch of Iphone 7s for 10 million VND/unit, and once again Mr. N agreed to buy. Around mid-November 2017, at Thao's request, Mr. N gave Mr. Tran Duy T (residing in Dong Anh, Hanoi) 200 million VND.

After receiving 950 million VND from Mr. N, Thao did not deliver the phone as promised. Mr. N met Thao to talk, but the subject said that due to an incident, the delivery could not be made. Mr. N asked Thao to write a commitment and promised to return it, but then the subject disappeared without a trace.

Currently, the Criminal Police Department of Hai Duong Province Police is organizing forces to search for Thao. Anyone who knows information about Thao, please contact investigator Quang, at the phone number090.215.8479.
