Previously, on the evening of August 11, Mr. Caracciolo David John (Australian nationality) and a friend went to eat at Nightfall Restaurant, a member of Nightfall Restaurant Company Limited. When paying for the service by bank card, the restaurant staff swiped the card 8 times and asked Mr. John to re-enter the password many times, with the reason that the POS machine was malfunctioning without any invoices or documents.
After returning home and receiving his bank statement, Mr. Caracciolo David John discovered that the amount deducted on the evening of August 11 was up to 39,429 AUD, equivalent to more than 683 million VND.
On September 28, he and his authorized representative returned to two addresses on Thai Van Lung and Nguyen Sieu streets to investigate, but with no results.
The registered address of Nightfall restaurant at 5E Nguyen Sieu, Ben Nghe ward, District 1, where a Western customer had his card swiped and lost nearly 700 million VND, has changed ownership and become a bar.
People living in the area also confirmed that this location was formerly the Nightfall restaurant, but it has been out of business for about a month now.
