Also during that time, An used a Zalo account named Quan, asking Ms. T to transfer money to open a stock account many times with a total amount of 6 million VND to 2 bank accounts under the names "Nguyen Van Luyen" and "Doan Thi Phuong". Next, this subject used a Zalo account named Quan to message Ms. T with the content that he was being arrested by Bao Loc City Police, and at the same time asked Ms. T to transfer 3 million VND to the bank account under the name "Doan Thi Phuong" or she would be charged with fraud and appropriation of property. Because of fear and lack of knowledge, Ms. T followed Duong Van An's request.
Seeing that it was too "easy", Duong Van An continued to impersonate Colonel Phung Tat Thanh, Chief of Bao Loc City Police, to scam and threaten the victim to continue transferring money to him.

After that, An asked Ms. T to transfer money to the account numbers named "Nguyen Van Luyen" and "Doan Thi Phuong". Due to fear and lack of knowledge, Ms. T transferred a total of 11.6 million VND to the two accounts above. To defraud and appropriate the victim's property, Duong Van An created a Zalo account under the name Thanh Tra Tinh Lam Dong and continued to threaten, asking Ms. T to transfer 3 times with a total amount of 6 million VND to the bank account number provided by the subject.
By creating many Zalo accounts, Duong Van An defrauded Ms. T of a total of nearly 30 million VND. Of which, more than 11 million VND was appropriated through a Zalo account impersonating Colonel Phung Tat Thanh, Chief of Bao Loc City Police.
