Fraudsters continuously give birth and get pregnant to avoid serving their sentences
Although she was convicted of “fraudulent appropriation of property” by provincial courts, the execution of the sentence was postponed because while raising a young child, being pregnant, etc., Yen continued to commit fraud on social networks. This time when she was arrested, Yen used social networks, impersonating an artist to commit fraud…
On November 22, District 1 Police, Ho Chi Minh City completed the file and handed over Lam Ngoc Yen (born in 1988, from Ca Mau) to Ca Mau Provincial Police to investigate and handle the act of "Fraudulent appropriation of property" according to the wanted decision of the police of this province.
According to the case file, Yen is a serious drug addict with many previous convictions for “Fraudulent appropriation of property”. In 2020, Yen was arrested by Vinh City Police (Nghe An) for “Fraudulent appropriation of property” and the Vinh City People’s Court sentenced her to 33 months in prison but the sentence was suspended because she was raising a young child.
In 2022, while on bail, Yen continued to commit fraud in Hue and was sentenced to 8 years in prison by the Hue People's Court, but the sentence was suspended because she was pregnant. Yen lives in Ca Mau and is subject to a measure of being prohibited from leaving her place of residence.
In August 2022, due to lack of money to spend and buy drugs, Yen went on social media (Facebook) to find out information about the owners of social media accounts. After knowing all the information about family members, friends, and how the account owners and everyone else communicated, Yen bought a junk SIM card, registered a Viber account, then pretended to be a relative of the account owners on the network, texted them to ask them to transfer money, and then took possession of it.
Yen created a Facebook page named “Lien Nguyen” then went to artist TQA’s personal page to find and get the phone number of Mr. NNT (artist A’s manager). Yen bought 2 junk SIM cards and created 2 Viber accounts, 1 account under the name of artist A. and 1 account under the name Ngoc Thanh Tam.
Yen pretended to be artist A. and texted manager T. to discuss traveling to Thailand and asked Mr. T. to transfer money for airfare and hotel reservations to an account under Yen's name. Seeing artist A.'s Viber account, Mr. T. trusted her and transferred a total of 98 million VND to Yen.
Seeing that it was easy to get, Yen used a Viber account under the name of artist A. to text Mr. T. asking him to transfer 100 million VND to artist A.'s mother in the US. Mr. T., suspicious, called the Viber number back but Yen did not answer. Knowing that she had been exposed, Yen withdrew 98 million VND from the account, deleted the fake accounts, and threw away the 2 junk SIM cards.
Mr. T. went to District 1 Police to report the incident and in a short time, District 1 Police found clues and arrested Yen.
At the investigation agency, Yen admitted her fraudulent behavior.
Because Yen is being wanted by the Criminal Enforcement Agency, Ca Mau Provincial Police, District 1 Police made a record to arrest the person who is wanted and handed him over to Ca Mau Provincial Police for handling.
