- The Office of the Criminal Investigation Agency, Nghe An Provincial Police has just issued a decision to prosecute the case, prosecute the accused and temporarily detain the subject Bui Huu Thang (born in 1986), residing in Trung Do ward (Vinh city), for fraud and property appropriation.

In April 2020, many people in Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces sent criminal complaints to the Investigation Police Agency, Nghe An Provincial Police. The content focused on denouncing Bui Huu Thang, a bank employee in Nghe An, for appropriating more than 10 billion VND.

By August 18, 2020, the special project team had temporarily detained Bui Huu Thang.

Initially, the investigation agency determined that from 2013 to 2018, Bui Huu Thang had impersonated an officer of the Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam, providing information that interest rates were 3 times higher than normal, reserved only for bank employees, to deceive people. Believing that he was a real bank officer, many people came to give money to Thang. Every time he met people, Thang presented many types of documents such as "receipts", "capital mobilization minutes", "capital conversion appointment papers"... all with red stamps and signatures of the Director of the Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam to make the victims trust him. In fact, all documents and seals were forged by Thang.

A resident of Nghi Xuan district (Ha Tinh) in a complaint sent to the police stated: In 2015, this person went to work abroad and saved some money to send back to Vietnam for his wife to save, at the house of a relative who knew Bui Huu Thang. Thinking that Thang was a bank employee, he sent 1.5 billion VND to Thang to enjoy high savings interest rates. In 2018, after many times not seeing Thang pay the principal and interest, he realized he had been scammed.

During the investigation, the investigation agency also clarified the act of forging documents and seals of Bui Huu Thang. Previously, Thang graduated from the Faculty of Information Technology, Vinh University. Thang went online and forged documents and seals of the Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam.

For a long time, from 2013 to 2018, Thang lied that he was a bank employee, and his family members all thought it was real. Initially, the investigation agency proved that the amount of money Thang had defrauded was more than 4.5 billion VND.

Bank documents and seals were forged by Bui Huu Thang.

Bui Huu Thang also forged a term deposit book with an amount of more than 19 billion VND from the Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam, the purpose of this was to make his family trust and feel secure with his "fake" job.
