A group of foreign youths committed online fraud and appropriated more than 120 billion VND.

The identities of the arrested subjects include: Ugochukwu Samuel Nnaemeka (also known as Richard, born 1996), Stanley Chidiebere Umed (born 1991), Nnaka Chibuzor Frankline (born 1984), Chimezie Ebuka Samuel (born 1992), Chukwugekwe Godwin Ajearo (born 1986), Ugochukuwu Okechukwu James (born 1985), Ogo Emeka Donald (born 1985).

The four Vietnamese subjects include: Ngo Hai Nghi (born 1996), Vu Ai Linh (born 1996), Dao Dang Vu (born 1987) and Pham Ngoc Duy (born 1984).

All subjects are temporarily residing in Ho Chi Minh City.

Around the end of April, the Criminal Police Department, Thua Thien Hue Provincial Police received a complaint from Ms. CTNH (residing in Hue City) about being scammed by a foreigner and having 3.9 billion VND appropriated.

From the information provided by Ms. H., the police force followed the money flow at the banks and discovered that Ms. H.'s money was transferred to many accounts and withdrawn at many different ATMs in Ho Chi Minh City.

Head of the Criminal Police Department, Colonel Pham Van Toan, informed: “From the initial investigation results, we determined that there is a group of fraudsters operating in Ho Chi Minh City.

These subjects colluded and used fake ID cards with photos of one person to open many accounts at many banks to serve money transactions.

A series of fake ID cards were used by the subjects to open bank accounts.

After more than 15 days of investigation, understanding the area, and implementing many professional measures, the working group discovered and tracked down the subjects involved in the fraud of Ms. CTNH's money: Ugochukwu Samuel Nnaemeka, Stanley Chidiebere Umed, Nnaka Chibuzor Frankline, Ngo Hai Nghi, and Vu Ai Linh.

From the statements of the group of 5 subjects along with the documents and evidence collected, the investigation team identified and arrested another important link in this network, Pham Ngoc Duy.

This subject is responsible for finding and buying bank accounts and selling them to a group of foreigners for 7 - 8 million VND.

These foreigners handed over the account to Duy so that Duy could withdraw money for them. Each time he withdrew money, Duy received 2% of the total amount.

From the information provided by Pham Ngoc Duy, the authorities verified and detained three more Nigerian subjects, including Chukwugekwe Godwin Ajearo Ugochukuwu Okechukwu James and Ogo Emeka Donal.

These subjects are involved in many fraud cases in other provinces and cities such as Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ho Chi Minh City, Tuyen Quang, Quang Nam.

According to the police, the leader of this ring is Dalaxy Dave (Nigerian, currently living in Cambodia), who manages all activities in the property fraud ring.

Using the above tricks, the subjects have defrauded and appropriated more than 120 billion VND from many victims across the country.

Currently, the police of TT-Hue province are coordinating with many related units to expand the investigation of the case.
