During such introductions and meetings, Ms. Sam easily believed Toan. After that, Toan proposed and was lent a SH motorbike and 10 million VND by Ms. Sam. After that, Toan continued to meet and eat with Ms. Sam and promised to return the motorbike and money by the end of July 2020. By early August 2020, Ms. Sam called Toan many times to ask for the motorbike and money back but could not contact him. Knowing that she had been scammed, Ms. Sam wrote a complaint to Vinh City Police.
During the investigation, Vinh City Police identified Tran Canh Toan as a freelance worker, from Huong Khe District, Ha Tinh Province, residing in Ngu Hanh Son, Da Nang. This subject had a previous conviction for "Fraudulent appropriation of property".
After appropriating Ms. Sam's property, Toan changed his phone number and fled to many provinces and cities across the country, making it difficult for the police to investigate and arrest him. At 2:00 p.m. on April 21, 2021, Vinh City Police arrested Tran Canh Toan at a rented room in Ngu Hanh Son District, Da Nang City.
At the investigation agency, the subject admitted to the crime. After borrowing the SH motorbike from the victim, Toan sold it in Hanoi for 30 million VND. Vinh City Police recovered the motorbike.
Currently, Tran Canh Toan is being detained for further investigation and expansion.
