Using social networks to impersonate women to sell pornographic photos and videos
A group of people in Quynh Mai ward (Nghe An province) were accused of using provocative images downloaded from the internet and then creating X and Telegram social network accounts pretending to be women, with the aim of defrauding people by selling pornographic photos and videos to appropriate money.
The Investigation Police Agency of Nghe An Province Police has just issued a notice to find victims related to the case of "Fraudulent appropriation of property" that occurred in Nghe An province.
According to the police investigation, around February 2025, Nguyen Van Tinh (19 years old), Nguyen Ba Son (32 years old) and Dinh Thi Lien (29 years old, all residing in Tan Phong block, Quynh Phuong ward, old Hoang Mai town, now Quynh Mai ward, Nghe An province) had the intention of using social network account X, Telegram account to defraud and appropriate property.
This group of people created accounts on social network X and Telegram accounts with "provocative" names to make viewers think the account owners were women.
The group then used social network account X to post articles with obscene and pornographic images, claiming that the people in the photos were themselves, to offer to sell photo albums and sex chat videos for a fee.
When someone texts to ask to buy a pornographic photo album and sex chat video, this group asks that person to transfer money to an account they designate. However, if they receive the money, they will not send the photo album or video as agreed, but ask to transfer the service fee. They use the excuse of finding fault with the victim for not writing the correct transfer content in order to ask the victim to transfer more money, or depending on the conversation, they send a few nude photos of other women that they downloaded from the internet to gain trust and then ask to continue transferring money.
In case the victim asks to meet in person to have "sex", this group will pretend to accept and ask the victim to transfer money to the designated account and then continue to make up excuses about needing money to buy birth control pills, aphrodisiacs... to get more money from the victim...
During the investigation, the police determined that this group used the following bank account numbers to receive fraudulent money: 108883878035, Vietinbank, under the name of Ho Thi Hue; 109884149327, Vietinbank, under the name of Nguyen Van Tinh; 101883963287, Vietinbank, under the name of Nguyen Thi Hoa; 1054352178, Vietcombank, under the name of Dinh Thi Lien.
To serve the investigation in accordance with the provisions of law, the police agency requests that anyone who is a victim of this case come to the commune police headquarters to report directly, or go to the headquarters of the Investigation Police Agency of Nghe An Provincial Police (address: Hamlet 13B, Vinh Hung Ward, Nghe An Province), for details, contact investigator Nguyen Van Dung at phone number: 0964.861.212.
