To defraud and appropriate property from hundreds of victims, Khai Tin Group used many different methods and tricks. Although they only purchased individual plots of land, the subjects "inflated" them into resort projects. The "Compound Van Xuan" project located at 67 Van Xuan (Kim Long Ward, Hue City) is an example.
A female victim (living in Hue City) recalled that when she learned that Khai Tin Group was advertising on websites that it was about to launch services such as shopping, the high-end Compound Van Xuan project, along with gyms, swimming pools, restaurants, etc., she hid from her husband and borrowed 1.5 billion VND to make a contract to deposit 50% of the purchase price of a 3 billion VND apartment.
In addition to the trick of “inflating” many individual residential plots into high-end projects, Khai Tin Group also established a series of member companies, directed subordinates to submit documents, and participated in land auctions at large real estate projects in the province. However, when winning the auction, they did not pay the remaining amount to receive the land.
Meanwhile, Khai Tin Group took the auction winning notice and gave it to several organizations and units to discuss the transfer at a lower price than the auction price. Many people thought it was real so they agreed to buy it back and transferred billions of dong to Khai Tin...
