Prosecution of online fraudsters selling airline tickets
Tran Kha Ai created a fake Facebook account to sell airline tickets online, then posted on airline ticket buying and selling groups to attract customers. When passengers bought tickets, confirmed their orders and transferred money, Ai immediately blocked contact with the victims to appropriate the money.
The Investigation Police Agency of Bo Trach District Police, Quang Binh Province has issued a decision to prosecute the case and prosecute Tran Kha Ai (born 2006), residing in Hiep Hung Commune, Phung Hiep District, Hau Giang Province, for fraud and property appropriation.
