Accordingly, due to not having money to pay for "playing around", on November 24, Mr. NV Ch. (born in 1963), residing in Noi Xuan village, Mai Trung commune, Hiep Hoa district, went to Mai Trung commune police to report that he was hypnotized at his home and had an Oppo mobile phone, 8 million VND in his wallet and 160 million VND left under the mattress in his bedroom stolen.

Immediately after receiving the report, Mai Trung Commune Police sent forces to the scene and coordinated with the Criminal Police Team - Hiep Hoa District Police to verify according to regulations.

At 4:00 p.m. on November 26, the Criminal Police Team and Mai Trung Commune Police coordinated to clarify that there was no incident as reported by Mr. Ch.

At the police station, Mr. NVCh. admitted to reporting false information because he was the owner of 5 "ward lines". On the morning of November 24, Mr. Ch. was due to give the ward money to 2 people. However, due to debt, Mr. Ch. used the money the players gave him to pay the debt, so when the deadline came, he did not have the money to pay the players.

Mr. Ch. went online to read articles about victims being drugged and losing their property and reported fake news using similar methods and tricks to the police to delay paying the ward.

The police have now established a case to strictly handle Mr. NVCh. for reporting fake news. This is an act that greatly affects the normal operation of competent state agencies, disrupts information, and causes confusion among the people.
