According to the investigation, Ha Tan Trong was previously an employee of a bank with a branch in Can Tho, then quit his job. Due to gambling, Trong owed many people money and came up with the idea of ​​defrauding to get money to gamble and pay off the debt.

Although he had quit his job, Ha Tan Trong still told everyone that he still worked at the bank and needed money to pay off a debt. Trong offered to borrow money from the victims at high interest rates and promised to pay them back in a few days. Believing Ha Tan Trong's words, many people gave him money and lost billions of dong.

Initially, Can Tho police determined that 5 people were scammed by Ha Tan Trong out of 5 billion VND. Trong confessed that he used all the money he had embezzled for gambling and lost it all.

Currently, the Can Tho City Police Investigation Agency has announced that organizations and individuals whose property has been appropriated by Ha Tan Trong should contact the Investigation Police Agency for consideration and resolution.
