Previously, on August 8, 2019, Ky Son District Police received a complaint from Ms. Nguyen TN (born in 1983), residing in Muong Xen town, Ky Son district (currently working as an accountant at an agency in the area) about being scammed and having 70 million VND appropriated by Thai Khac Hung. Hung is the owner of the bus and the driver of the bus running from Muong Xen town (Ky Son district) to Vinh city and vice versa.

At the police station, Thai Khac Hung initially remained silent and gave a roundabout statement in an attempt to deny his crime. However, faced with undeniable evidence, Thai Khac Hung bowed his head and admitted all his crimes.

Accordingly, Hung knew that Ms. N. was planning to transfer her job back to her hometown, so Hung approached her and, to gain her trust, Hung said that because he traveled a lot, he had a wide network of relationships and knew many leaders of departments and branches. Therefore, he could take care of transferring Ms. N.'s job. After the "prey" took the bait, Hung asked that in order for Hung to take care of the job, N. had to give Hung 150 million VND.

After that, the two sides agreed and agreed that Ms. N. would give Hung 70 million VND in advance so that Hung could take care of Ms. N.'s job transfer; the remaining amount would be transferred when Ms. N. was transferred back to her hometown. On April 11, at a coffee shop in Block 2, Muong Xen town, Ms. N. directly gave Hung 70 million VND. To make N. trust, Hung made a loan document and promised Ms. N. that he would have results as soon as possible.

However, after waiting until May 2019, and still not seeing any progress as Hung promised, Ms. N. went to Thai Khac Hung's house to ask for the money back, but Hung kept delaying. After that, despite going directly to the house many times, calling and texting to ask for the money back, Thai Khac Hung still refused to pay.

At this time, Ms. N. realized she was deceived, so she filed a complaint against Thai Khac Hung with the Ky Son District Police.
