Exposing the trick of changing the red book of a 22-year-old man

Trap of borrowing money from fake red books

During the period from December 2023 to January 2024, Dinh Hoai Nam (born 2003), residing in Nghia Hung commune, Nghia Dan district (Nghe An), due to business losses, investing in stocks and playing virtual currency online, lost a lot of money, so he came up with the idea of ​​defrauding and appropriating property.

Although he did not have his name on any piece of land, Nam forged a Land Use Rights Certificate in his name with code DH211316 on map sheet No. 51 to mortgage with Mr. Tran XD (born in 1973), residing in Nghia Dan district (Nghe An) to borrow 150 million VND. Immediately when transacting with Nam, Mr. XD did not know that it was a fake document but only saw that the information on the citizen identification card and the land use rights certificate matched each other, so he lent Dinh Hoai Nam the above amount of money.

Similar to the above trick, Dinh Hoai Nam continued to use the fake Land Use Rights Certificate with the number DG219139 above to send to Mr. Ho HT (born in 1985), residing in Quynh Luu district (Nghe An) to borrow money with the reason of buying an apartment with his aunt. At the same time, Nam also recorded a video of someone else's land plot so that Mr. HT believed that the land was owned by Nam and accepted Nam's loan of 250 million VND.

However, in order to borrow money, Mr. HT asked Nam to go to the notary office to complete the land transfer procedures as agreed. Because no signs of forgery were detected, the notary office made a land use rights transfer contract according to the office's regulations. Thereby, Mr. HT asked Nam to write an IOU and if he did not pay on time, he would be transferred the land use rights, and at the same time transfer to Nam 250 million VND as promised. All the money that Dinh Hoai Nam appropriated from the victims was spent by Nam for personal use.

From creditor to defendant

In addition to the two victims above, a number of other victims were also scammed by Dinh Hoai Nam through the form of buying or borrowing money through land mortgages. Not only that, to avoid exposing himself too much, Nam also lured and cooperated with other subjects to carry out the transactions.Cheat.

Having known each other through some social relationships, in September 2023, Dinh Hoai Nam proposed to borrow money from Truong Minh Nam (born in 1995), residing in Nghia Mai commune, Nghia Dan district (Nghe An) to invest in land and promised to have a large profit. Due to not having money available, Minh Nam readily agreed to let Hoai Nam use 2 plots of land he owned as collateral to borrow 140 million VND.

In early 2024, due to needing money to go abroad, Minh Nam asked Hoai Nam to return a red book to him to sell to pay the debt. Constantly being urged to pay the debt, Dinh Hoai Nam continued to order online to fake a Land Use Rights Certificate No. DG219147 under the name of Truong Minh Nam. After completing the paperwork, Nam contacted Le AT (born in 1987), residing in Thai Hoa town (Nghe An) with the purpose of mortgaging the Land Use Rights Certificate to borrow 300 million VND. Hoai Nam promised that with this land lot, if he could not collect the above debt, Le AT himself could divide it into 5 lots to sell.

Knowing that the land use certificate was fake, Truong Minh Nam still carried out the procedures to transfer the land use rights to Le AT. However, when Le AT transferred the money, Dinh Hoai Nam used the excuse that Truong Minh Nam did not have an account number to receive the 300 million. After receiving the money, Dinh Hoai Nam continued to spend it on himself and informed Truong Minh Nam that he would take the remaining paper and pay later. However, a few days later, Hoai Nam reported that Le AT did not want to lend him any more money and would return the documents.

Hoai Nam continued to forge another cover similar to the one given to Le AT and pawned it to Dau Thi C. (born in 1988), residing in Quynh Luu district, Nghe An to borrow 100 million VND. On the same day, Dinh Hoai Nam also showed Truong Minh Nam the fake cover and continued to make an appointment to sign it.transfer paperfor Ms. C.

According to the case file, between December 2023 and January 2024, Dinh Hoai Nam ordered 5 fake land use right certificates from social media accounts. The defendant used those fake documents to defraud 4 victims of 850 million VND, of which Truong Minh Nam, an accomplice, defrauded 1 victim of 300 million VND.

After a day of lengthy deliberation, on the morning of May 22, the People's Court of Nghe An province sentenced defendant Dinh Hoai Nam to 13 years and 6 months in prison for "Fraudulent appropriation of property" and 3 years in prison for "Using fake documents of agencies and organizations", with a total sentence of 16 years and 6 months in prison.

For Truong Hoai Nam, there was a mitigating circumstance in that he had persuaded his family to compensate the victim Le AT with 200 million VND, so the victim filed a petition to reduce the sentence. Based on the entire case, the panel of judges decided to sentence the defendant Truong Hoai Nam to 7 years in prison for the crime of Fraudulent appropriation of property and 3 years in prison for the crime of Using fake documents of agencies and organizations, the total sentence is 10 years in prison.
