According to authorities, although she quit her job at Viettel Telecom Corporation, Hai Anh lied that she was still working there and had close relationships with the bosses, so it was easy for her to get a job in any department. Four people believed her and gave her nearly 300 million VND to "run errands". When they waited for a long time without getting a job, they realized they had been scammed.
One of the victims was Hai Anh's old classmate. Trusting Hai Anh, the woman agreed to the price of 70 million VND. After paying the money, on August 10, Hai Anh sent her a photo of the list of successful candidates with her name on it. The document was stamped "Viettel Telecommunications Corporation - branch of the Military Telecommunications Group" and signed by the general director named Nguyen Viet Dung.
The Hanoi High-Tech Police Department verified that this was a fake document, created using digital color printing technology. Hai Anh admitted that he had asked Khuong to "compose" a total of 14 decisions and announcements of personnel acceptance.
Police are expanding the investigation into the case.
