Fraudulently buying and selling land via social networks to get money to play the stock market and spend for personal use.
(Baonghean.vn) - Through information connections on social networks, Nguyen Thi Thao contacted to buy and sell land to defraud, appropriating 1.3 billion VND to buy stocks and spend for personal expenses.
Previously, at 7:30 a.m. on February 27, 2022, Yen Thanh District Police received a complaint from Ms. NTT residing in Tien Thanh Commune about being defrauded by Nguyen Thi Thao of 400 million VND in the form of selling land.
Immediately after receiving the report, Yen Thanh District Police quickly verified, consolidated documents and evidence and arrested Nguyen Thi Thao.

According to the police, around May 2021, Thao met Mr. NVH residing in Vinh city. Mr. H. posted on Facebook a plot of land in Son Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district for sale for more than 1.1 billion VND. At this time, Ms. T. wanted to buy land, however, she only had 400 million VND so she wanted to buy 1/3 of the land area. Thao agreed to help and found 2 other people to pool money to buy land from Mr. H. After going to see the land, Mr. H. said he urgently needed 400 million VND, so Thao asked Ms. T. to give 400 million VND and make a sales contract with Ms. T., promising to have the land title within 45 days. About a week later, Thao learned that Mr. H.'s land was in dispute, so she asked Mr. H. to return the 400 million VND deposit. However, after receiving the money from Mr. H., Thao did not return it to Ms. T. but used it to play the stock market and for personal purposes...
On January 24, 2022, Thao continued to impersonate the owner of the land plot in My Thanh commune to receive a deposit of 100 million VND from Mr. NVH residing in My Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district.
At the time of his arrest, the total amount of money that Thao had defrauded and appropriated was 1.3 billion VND. This money was used for stock trading and personal expenses.
Currently, Yen Thanh District Police are detaining Nguyen Thi Thao to continue investigating, clarifying, and handling according to the law.
