More than 50 Telegram groups of 'call girls' were created online to scam customers.
At the Investigation Agency, the two subjects Ha and Anh confessed that from September 2023 to present, they have created more than 50 Telegram groups of call girls with more than 25,000 members, appropriating billions of dong from many men "greedy for strange things" nationwide.
The Investigation Police Agency of Nam Dinh City Police said it has just prosecuted and detained Nguyen Van Anh (born 2001) and Nguyen Xuan Ha (born 2000), both residing in Truong Xa village, Toan Thang commune, Kim Dong district, Hung Yen province, for fraud and property appropriation.
According to the Investigation Agency, in April 2024, through cyber reconnaissance, the Criminal Police Department of Nam Dinh City Police discovered many Telegram groups of call girls with signs of fraud and property appropriation. Through investigation and verification, Nam Dinh City Police determined that these telegram groups were created by Nguyen Van Anh and Nguyen Xuan Ha, two unemployed individuals. After a period of time online, the two subjects discussed how to scam men who were interested in going online to find prostitutes. Accordingly, Ha and Anh created dozens of Telegram groups of call girls with the names of provinces and cities in the country.
According to the division of tasks, Nguyen Xuan Ha took sexy pictures of prostitutes online and posted them on call girl groups with attractive introductions about their measurements, height, and weight to attract customers. When customers visited, Nguyen Van Anh was responsible for replying to messages and negotiating prices. When the customers had finalized the deal, Nguyen Van Anh asked the customers to transfer deposits for various staff booking fees, taxi fees for the staff, and deposits to secure the transaction... After the customers transferred the money, the two subjects deleted all the transaction messages and appropriated the customers' deposits.
